    They lost his trousers....

    Crying Plaintiff Loses his Pants Suit From today's Wall Street Journal: In a case spotlighted as a symbol of litigiousness in America, a court ruled in favor of a dry-cleaning shop that was sued for $54 million over a pair of missing pants. Roy Pearson, an administrative law judge in...

    what if you could travel back in time but could never return?

    This reminds me of my friend Opal, age 80. As a kid, she worked at the family moving and storage business as the debt collector. She married a bum who left her with one baby and another on the way. She did get a child support order, but in those days they weren't worth the paper they were...

    Clothing/attire tips for short men

    On the subject of whether or not to tuck in shirts... If you decide to leave your shirt untucked (say, it's a guayabara), buy it or have it hemmed (both the sleeves and shirt tail) so that it doesn't make your arms and legs look stumps. This is the idea behind women's petite sizes: a...

    Teeth Whitening

    I tried those white strips a few years ago and they were so gross I couldn't stand it. One thing that has made my teeth whiter has been using an electric toothbrush. I use a Sonicare; I forget the model, but I'll check if you're interested. I got it to keep my teeth cleaner after getting...

    LizzieMaine on TV

    I just happened to see the show last night. I was fixing dinner and happened to be in the living room for a moment. I didn't recognize you at first, Lizzie, but after a minute, I thought, that's got to be LizzieMaine! I thought you came across very well.

    Indeed. My boss's stepdaughter had to go through a divorce, even though she never took wedding vows. :confused:

    My Search for a Mate is Confined to my Sock Drawer

    I think that some other women look for Resume Man. They want a doctor or lawyer or junior executive, not a teacher or technician or tradesman. When I was looking for someone on the Internet, something that struck me was the number of 40-year-old men who were looking for a woman 18 to 35...

    Colorado is one, but just living together doesn't create a common law marriage.

    My Search for a Mate is Confined to my Sock Drawer

    You mean, like, letting a woman run the household while you work at a high pressure job and easily handle things like overheated radiators, flooded basements and medical emergencies? Gosh, I don't know where you'd find a woman who'd want to lead such a life. :rolleyes: I'm kidding!

    Overused plot themes, scenes, character types in fiction?

    Oh, I think the zietgiest is hip and ironic enough that people would appreciate a spoof of it. And pretentious people always make a good target for comedy. Funny how that which was counterculture is now mainstream and in need of a sendup.

    Talk to old people who have had long, happy marriages. Read up on social skills and then practice them. And don't use the term "deep, serious relationship" right off the bat.;) Good luck!

    The Vintage Suitor

    The problem comes up when (if) one party (typically the woman) sees this as a step towards marriage and the other party (typically the man) sees it as a means of avoiding it. Let's say they live as if they're married, but without the paperwork. She makes a big investment in time and feeling...

    Please write this. I'd love to read it.

    SWING DANCING dvds?

    Dan and Tiff have a wedding dance video out. It covers fox trot, swing and blues. I haven't seen the video, but I've taken many classes from them and they're good instructors. In fact, they're the national lindy hop champs.

    The Vintage Suitor

    Women are typically a lot more interested in having a relationship than men are. Just look at all the relationship books and seminars out there: they're read and attended by women. Look at a wedding: it's about the bride. Consider the marriage contract: it protects the woman more than the man...

    The Vintage Suitor

    Point taken. Secret admirer letters sound very sweet, but as for me, I'd prefer a more direct approach. Besides, what if you don't live up to the image she builds up when she reads the letters? What if she assumes they're from somebody else? :(

    The Vintage Suitor

    Even Emily Post, in the 1940 edition of "Etiquette," said that a girl can ask out a man, along the lines of "I have some movie tickets; would you like to go Friday night?" It's probably OK if they guy is just too shy or awkward to ask her. But if he says yes, you're going out with a guy who...
