    What are you wearing today??

    Unfortunately, the masses can go further. They can go around in their underwear, or worse, naked. Hopefully this never happens.

    Amusing quotes from people mis-dating you

    Just yesterday, I went to the supermarket, and a worker there said that she loved my ties and hats I always wear. Not really misdating, but there isn't a comment thread for clothes to my knowledge.

    Seasons for your hats

    I wear what I want, when I want. But any temperature above 75 is when I usually only wear my panama. But I do wear it when it is below 75 occasionally.

    Show us your TIES

    So I started making a new tie out of cotton. So I painted it with fabric paint, but now it's kind of stiff. Is there any way to soften it up?

    Spectator Shoes

    The reason he might be lying would be to make conversation, but he probably wasn't lying. I was just wondering where he might have had his shoes made, as he seemed to be insisting they were a custom order.

    Spectator Shoes

    I had forgotten all about this incident, but a few months ago, I went to a local supermarket, and there was a donation man outside the doors. He complemented my shoes, but he had something else to say. He said that he had a pair of shoes in the same style, made in England. I don't know if he was...

    Hair cuts

    I got a haircut today. Not only did I get a haircut, but she also shaved off a pimple I had, and now it's bleeding. I put in Brylcreem and Royal Crown Hairdressing afterwards (not in the pimple). I got the sides and back cut real short, but I left the top the same.

    Hand-written letters, e-mails & texts

    I personally hate all those LOL acronyms, as I find it hard to decipher the acronyms. They, to me at least, seem very lazy. I don't text, but I do play online video games often. I never use the acronyms. Ever. I haven't written, or received a handwritten letter in years, of course, the same...

    What Are You Reading

    Not really a big book, in fact, it's very tiny. It's called Don'ts for Golf, and it's from 1925. It basically tells you golf etiquette.

    Downton Abbey - I'm hooked

    There is a series called Manhattan which started on the 27th. I didn't watch it, but I hear it's based on the Manhattan Project.

    100 th anniversary of ww1

    Not sure if anyone is interested in this, but there is a brand new game set in WWI called Verdun. You can get it on Steam. It's trench warfare, and it's the first WWI shooter ever.

    New fountain pen owner. How do I use this?

    Thanks, I find it odd though that they were selling a cartridge pen as a fountain pen. It now writes again. Should I let it dry, or just put it back together?

    Downton Abbey - I'm hooked

    Mr. Selfridge's toupee isn't even like Fred Astaire's toupee, which blends into his forehead. In fact, the real Mr. Selfridge parted his hair in the center like Mr. Crabb.

    New fountain pen owner. How do I use this?

    I have one question, what is the ink system? My pen seems to consist of a nib, and a removable plastic ink bottle attached to the nib.

    The Vintage Camera Club Thread

    Do vintage cameras take photos which appear vintage? I know, it's a stupid question.

    Downton Abbey - I'm hooked

    My mother loves Downton Abbey. She has all the current seasons. Mr. Mosley looks like Douglas MacArthur hatless. She is also a Selfridges addict. We both say the hairstyles in Selfridges look too modern. The Clothes too. My mother also has plenty of dresses she loves, and I believe that Downton...

    New fountain pen owner. How do I use this?

    Diamond shape, with slit down center (I stuck paper through that slit in an attempt to fix it), and a plastic back with deep grooves. It also is cartridge fed. It's brand new actually, only the second time I used it.

    New fountain pen owner. How do I use this?

    I actually have a fountain pen, but it won't write ever since I accidentally wrote on the sticky side of a sticky note. How can I fix this? I tried a tissue, sticking the tip through paper, and even alcohol. It still won't work.
