    Subtly Vintage Engineer

    With this look, you won't run much risk of making your boss look bad. ;) I remember the CEs at school tended to wear plaid shirts and jeans. Plaid is good because it can go with a variety of pants and jackets and doesn't show dirt easily.

    Your comments on other forums

    I used to post on a dance forum (won't mention any names). Much of the content had nothing to do with dancing: lots of political rants, occasional flaming (even against the webmaster--I'd have shown that member the door) and a few people who tended to see sex in everything. There were some...

    How popular was/is your name?

    I think Karol is a beautiful name. Everyone I've known named Carol was a delightful person. (Haven't known any Karols but you.)

    Speaking of dancing . . .

    It's usually the women who want to dance.

    Lawsuit over "negligent dancing"

    In the weeks and months following my car accident, dips were painful. So I told my partners, "no dips" and "be gentle." I also told guys I wasn't familiar with who asked me to dance, "I'm sorry, but I was recently in an accident and I'm only dancing with people I'm familiar with. But thank you...

    The End of an Era.

    I agree with you, but the vast majority of people will follow the crowd in their mentality.

    Am I BLUE...

    Talk to friends, read a good novel, play with my dog, exercise. You could try reviewing the Handsome Fellas thread, too.

    Lawsuit over "negligent dancing"

    She may have been dancing with him voluntarily, but without consenting to an aerial. That happened to me once: a dance partner flipped me end over end like a rag doll. It happened so fast there was nothing I could do but scream. Fortunately, I landed upright without incident. If the lady...

    How popular was/is your name?

    At least "Lori" has a good meaning: wearer of laurels. In fact, today I'm wearing a cameo that depicts such a figure.

    The End of an Era.

    let's not forget that until recent decades, anyone different (different race, religion, the handicapped, the divorced, the mentally ill) was generally shunned. Or worse.

    What kinds of songs do you like? ;) Do tell!

    How popular was/is your name?

    My name is Lori. Ugh. It was really popular in the 60s and 70s. Double Ugh.

    Lawsuit over "negligent dancing"

    Well, it was a matter of time. Most people I see doing aerials look like they don't know what they're doing. Newbie dancers don't seem to understand that your aerials aren't going to look any better than the rest of your dancing. So I'm really not impressed with most aerials I see. When...

    Uses for Old Stockings and Hosiery

    When I was a photographer, we had a similar use for panty hose: a piece of stretched hose could be used as a filter to soften the lines on a print. We'd sometimes do that on photos of officers with bad complexions (though we weren't supposed to). I'd forgotten about that.

    Splint Etiquette Question

    Now that I think about it, the trouble might be that I'm not talking loudly enough. People are saying "What?" only when there's a lot of noise. I'm really not a loud talker anyway. And I tend not to stand close to people. While I'm dancing, I tend to wait until our heads are fairly close...

    Uses for Old Stockings and Hosiery

    Tie climbing roses to their supports. Strap clear plastic domes onto their seed trays when winter sowing. Put onions inside them and hang in the basement or cellar for storage. Emergency fan belt. Other ideas?

    Splint Etiquette Question

    Kind of. It's a fiberglass thing that goes on my lower teeth. It's to keep me from doing more damage from clenching my teeth. I can dance for awhile without it, but after about an hour or so, the muscles in my jaw start to hurt.

    lol I'll keep that as a backup plan.
