    Why older homes are safer from fires

    A lot of firefighters still wear leather helmets (leather heads). They are heavier, but provide just as good protection. S.C.B.A. was not needed as much back then due to lack of toxic materials in most structures.

    The Doggy Bag

    Here is my thought in it. Ask, if they have take home container, then they must encourage it. If they didn't they would not spend money on the containers.

    Why older homes are safer from fires

    Plastics, chemicals in the newer stuff, all kinds of factors to make it burn faster. I just finished several firefighting classes, (a lot more to go) one of the things we learned was that back in the day a structure fire would double in size every 60 seconds. Today a fire will multiply by 5...

    Vintage Things That Have Disappeared In Your Lifetime?

    Chattanooga still does (or did in 2002) Blue light laws. But it was only after midnight Sat until 6 am Sunday. I hated it because I am a night owl so if I needed to go to wal-mart on a Sunday, I had to drive to Fort O'. Kinda a dumb law IMO.

    Someone get a decent Jacket to the White House

    I saw this on the news today and thought the jacket looked too big. But then Obama is a skinny guy. Maybe a child's size would be better? The photo oneterrifichog posted of W. made me laugh. I thought about Chris Farley in 'Tommy Boy' doing "fat guy in a little coat". LOL

    Show us your scarves ...

    Scarfs? I didn't see anything in the "Start Here: Links to Important Threads" thread. Are there any good threads about mens scarfs? EDIT: Thanks for merging this. :) I am looking for a nice scarf to wear with my pin stripe (in avatar photo) and solid black overcoat. Was thinking white or grey.

    MY LORD IT'S HOT (Summer attire questions)

    Wearing my straw fedora killed me this past summer. I don't know if I could wear any kind of something that had a coat, but I like the kakies and polo idea.

    Theater Evening Attire

    That bit of advice just helped me big time. I have always been worried about dressing "vintage". Even if it is just jeans and a sports coat. It is not the norm in this area. But I see the way people look at me. Not knowing what they think. Some times I will choose to leave the coat/hat in the...

    WTB: Black and white polka dot dress Size 26/28

    I am looking for something like this for my wife for Christmas. Size 26/28 Bust: 54 Waist: 60 Budget is not that great as we are unemployed and working form tips we earn from volunteer jobs. But that does not mean I expect it to be free. Just can't do much over $50 or so. Thanks
