    IRC channel for Fedora Lounge?

    I don't think I could do that at work, and my connection at home is too slow.

    Power brokers

    I think the author of the article read a lot into the photo. I don't find little boys in nice clothes disturbing. Little girls in grownup clothes can be disturbing, though. You used to see catalog photos of mother-daughter outfits in the days when mothers tended to dress like respectable...

    Vintage on a First Date: Do or Don't?

    "Even those who want to dig deeper have to start with the surface." -Miss Manners. Bearing that in mind, I'd meet someone for the first time wearing something that shows what I'm like, rather than serves as a distraction. Even if someone really likes you, a really unusual outfit can put them off.

    How much snow do you have?

    We still have snow from November, I think. This week, we were actually able to see the ground.

    Valentine's Day. What's your view?

    I'd probably care a lot more about Valentine's Day if I could see Ryan from Wyoming again... "Jimmy Mack, when are you comin' back?" :whistling

    Moving to LA: yay or nay?

    Nicoletta, is it just the cold or the cold combined with dampness that makes your illness act up? If you can tolerate dry cold, I invite you to move to Denver. I know Denver has a reputation for being an ice box in the mountains, but that's a myth. Denver is on the plains and has a high...

    Buy New, Vintage or Victorian Home?

    The fact that I live in a dry climate helps. No mold or mildew. No water in the basement due to good location. But my yellow paint job faded to cream in a few years under the brilliant Colorado sun. Hence, the new paint job is green.

    Swinging the news

    At the Mercury Cafe in Denver, there are nights in the summer when there are some 400 dancers lindy hopping. We have the national champs here (Dan, Tiff and the rest of 23 Skidoo) and they are really dedicated to teaching and preserving the dance. I really wanted to go out last night and...

    Golden Era: Everday Life in Bygone Era

    Dancing back Then The nostalgic view of dancing during the war is couples swaying to Moonlight Serenade. However, my mom (b. 1929) says that all the men were gone from her town then. There were just boys, old men and other girls left to dance with, and she preferred to dance with her best...

    The School Bully

    This was how the 9/11 highjackers hatched their plot. On the first plane highjacked, the victims were passive. Not on United 93, though. Anyone interested in this particular topic may want to read Among the Heroes: United Flight 93 and the Passengers and Crew Who Fought Back . It was hard for me...

    Too much skin?

    "Cover your Boobies!" OK, I just had to dig through the archives of the Modesty Zone to find this.

    Manolo's Tribute to Cary Grant

    I am a little sad that an elephant died to make that dreadful pair of shoes. :(

    hanging pants

    Folded over a hanger. I have only so much room in my closet for long garments, and that is taken up by dresses. I just don't fold my pants over a wire hanger without the cardboard tube.

    The School Bully

    Even Jesus told his disciples, "If you have a cloak, sell it and buy a sword."

    Too much skin?

    I realize that modern hair is not as sculpted as it used to be, and I think that's OK. I'm actually not a big fan of helmet hair. But I see many college educated young people with hair that looks like that of a neglected child.

    Too much skin?

    The opposite of too much skin: totally frumpy clothes. Baggy sweat shirts, mom jeans, puffy tennis shoes, baseball caps, etc. don't really say, "I'm a success" or "you should take me seriously" or even "I take this job seriously."

    The School Bully

    Vigilantism comes in when authority breaks down.

    Too much skin?

    They forgot about skin-tight clothing. I'm a heterosexual woman, and even I find some of the clothes the young women in the office wear to be distracting.
