    Jaxonbilt Hats

    I have three Jaxonbilt hats, one that is 50X, and two that are 100x. I wore the 50x during a two week survival course in the Utah desert with high heat during the day, really cold temperatures at night, rain, etc, in short everything that the elements could throw at it and it still looks almost...

    Forum Upgrade -- POST ANY ISSUES HERE

    I'm liking the grey background, much easier on my eyes. Not so happy with the "senior member" designation. I prefer "practically family."

    "Sherlock" BBC series.

    Thought I would let my U.S. Loungers know that the BBC series Sherlock will be released on DVD here on November 9th...

    BOARDWALK EMPIRE (HBO) - Everything you wanted to bootleg about the Show!

    I'm enjoying this one as well. Very unique time period and subject matter that I'm not familiar with. In general my interest in modern period dramas starts in the late 1920's early 30's, but this series is holding my attention and the production values are excellent.

    Cologne and perfume

    I've used Aqua Di Parma for years. Same stuff worn by Cary Grant and Humphrey Bogart.

    do you have many friends?

    Interesting thread. My closest friendship is one I've had for 20+ years, but otherwise no, I don't have a lot of friends. I'm friendly and know a lot of people, but I'm not really social in the sense of being an extrovert. When in a relationship I enjoy giving a dinner party and cooking for...

    Get Low

    I started a discussion of this movie earlier, and if you'll scroll down the various posts you'll see my thread also titled "Get Low."

    "Sherlock" BBC series.

    What would happen if people decided Basil Rathbone was the only Holmes worth watching and missed out on Brett? I saw the latest Hollywood production and it completely won me over, so you might want to keep an open mind. And yes, I belong to the Baker Street Irregulars and have been a hardcore...

    "Sherlock" BBC series.

    Never heard of this one, but would love to see it. I love gaslights and horse-drawn carriages as much as anyone, but I'm one that believes Sherlock would be Sherlock in any era. Technologies come and go, but human nature remains. Any idea when it might come to the states?

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Went to see The Girl Who Played with Fire, the move adaptation of Stieg Larsson's book. Excellent, as was the first movie adaptation. I just cringe when I think Hollywood is making their own English language version (La Femme Nikita anyone?). But then again, if anyone can pull it off, David...

    Get Low

    Get Low finally opened here in N. Nevada, and I went to see the matinee this morning. REALLY enjoyed it. I thought all the performances were terrific, and the hats and wardrobe are definitely worth checking out for the Loungers. Nothing the actors wore looked new or "designed", especially...

    Do You Feel Old, CNN Article

    I don't feel old, I just feel like I was born a century too late.

    Still isn't playing here in N. Nevada. Hoping it'll open soon, like maybe this weekend.......?

    The Accursed "Boomerangers"

    I agree with you. Generations of families living under one roof was the norm, and for the record I relocated to look after aging parents, so I'm not judging anyone for living at home (all things being equal).

    The Accursed "Boomerangers"

    MikeBravo: Life is strange. It gives us the test first, and the lesson after No testimony without the test. Also, I think people internalize things a bit much in a bad economy which is an external, objective circumstance. Unless someone has serious mental or emotional problems, or is just...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Love Miller's Crossing. Didn't discover it until a few years ago, but now I watch it at least once a year. I use all kinds of phrases from the movie, like "giving me the high hat," and "what's the rumpus?" Classic.

    The Finest Compliments You've Ever Received

    :offtopic: To be honest though, I'd only want to fly with the one's who are like that. I just don't want to be married to one, God love 'em, bless their hearts. No weekend pilots for me please when I'm up in the air.

    The Finest Compliments You've Ever Received

    I came perilously close to marrying a pilot, before I realized she was more in love with flying and always would be. Tough to compete with that. She's happily married to her job now and prefers it that way, and I can't bake a chocolate cake worth diddly...

    The Finest Compliments You've Ever Received

    That's gotta be one of the coolest compliments ever. Pilots usually love their planes and flying more than any mere mortal....:D

    Gentlemen prefer...

    I think it's fine for the woman to make the first move, though I don't believe it's necessary. Depends on the mix of other factors, like if a guy is naturally shy and just needs a nudge from a more extroverted woman.
