    Five that are Seriously Overrated...

    I saw The Blues Brothers a few months ago and wondered how America went bananas over such a nonsensical, badly acted movie. There were several good musical performances, but nothing you couldn't have heard on oldies radio then. [huh]

    The fall of proper restaurant service.

    Miss Manners says that tipping wasn't always the custom: Americans were too proud to accept tips. I work at a non-tipping job, and if someone offered me a tip, I'd be offended. So, yes, I think the whole custom of tipping is demeaning, but since servers rely on tips and it's built into their...

    help me!

    Only because you asked, I don't think the shoes and dress go together. I don't think that red accessories will look good with it, either. With a stronger shade of aqua, red might look good, but I think the dress calls for something more subtle. A pair of pink or coral shoes would be good, as...

    How old is too old ?

    I just really didn't want to turn into that middle aged woman who tries to look 25. :icon_smil A woman who looks young for her age can pull off younger clothes, but for most women, young clothing just make them look older by contrast. Remember Bette Davis in Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?

    Chinese poison

    You forgot about the acidic flip flops of doom. :eek: Here is what they did to one person's feet (note: the pictures are unpleasant).

    How old is too old ?

    There's a thread on this subject in the Powder Room. Many of us went to a more elegant look around age 37.

    Care To Dance??

    Speaking of cost, a few years ago there was a singles club called "Dance Card" that cost $50 per night. :eek: At that time, the couple who became the national lindy champs were offering $3 classes, and you could go to the dance for $4, and the dancing was terrific. Maybe I'm lucky, or maybe...

    Joining the forces- UP do hair ideas

    When I was in basic training 20 years ago, my fellow basic trainees with long hair did a French braid. Don't forget that your hat has to fit over your 'do.

    Old Fashioned Men

    Addendum to #9: a gentleman may go in front of a lady to push a revolving door. Those doors can be heavy.

    "Beyond Glory": A Play about the Medal of Honor

    Nashoba, one thing I admire about many soldiers in danger or recovering in the hospital is how stoic they are. I think their hardships are almost harder for their loved ones who worry about them and can't be with them. Most of the things people worry about, though, never come to pass. I hope...

    New Ladies and Gents Step Forward

    Is there a club called the Big Apple? If so, I've never heard of it. I go to the Merc Sunday nights; it's hard for me to go to work the next day if I go mid-week. Please send me a PM if you plan to go on a Sunday--we can say hello. :) (Just make sure to send it by Friday, since I don't go...

    Golden Era Movie suggestions for teens

    That reminds me of another movie: The Great Escape.

    "Beyond Glory": A Play about the Medal of Honor

    A Book you might Like One paragraph I edited from the article says, in part, "Now read "Operation Homecoming" [a book published by Random House] to find out who they [the troops] are, what they think, feel, want, have learned, won and lost in Iraq and Afghanistan. Stand in a bookstore and start...

    Respective, Venomous Correspondence is not dead!

    You must admit, that's hard to argue with.

    Respective, Venomous Correspondence is not dead!

    Actually, I think both letters are out of line. My employer occasionally terminates clients, but we don't tell them their business is unprofitable. We say that we aren't a good fit for them, or something along those lines. Letters that go something like, "Never in my life have I been...

    Favorite Cartoons from your Childhood

    I loved Bugs Bunny. He could do anything, he was so smart! And he never lost his cool.
