I often get comments asking if i'm going anywhere "special" as "your'e" dressed up! no I reply I dress like this daily! (see profile photo)
Sure! They didn't even bring their plumbing indoorsI'm pretty sure people didn't wear their hats indoors when hats were popular anyway
Really? I think they'd go well with your eyes.No pinks or flashy red ones !!
If you watch just about any movie from the 1930s or 1940s you'll see quite a few scenes of men wearing hats indoors. Any number of websites list the "official" rules of hat etiquette from that era, but these days hat wearers tend to decide for themselves which of those rules they will or won't follow....I'm pretty sure people didn't wear their hats indoors when hats were popular anyway.
That would have made me a lucky and happy guy !!! She was very good looking !! [emoji48] [emoji48] [emoji48] [emoji48]I think my reply would have been something like, 'Well, I go where the hat goes.'
That would have either ended it right there, or resulted in a whole new situation. haha
My wife and I went to Charleston, South Carolina last weekend, and I bought my new Stetson while we were there in the market. When we left, I was paying the parking lot attendant, and he told me, "Nice hat." He was wearing a cheap straw-looking fedora. (I own one myself that cost me like $5 from Wal-Mart that I wear when it's super hot out, so I'm far from a hat snob here. Lol!) I replied, "Thanks! Yours looks pretty slick, as well."
He immediately launches into a Now-I'm-gonna-tell-you-how-offended-I-am-because-you-dared-to-compliment-me-by-using-the-word-"Slick"-mini-tirade by saying, "At least I didn't use a derogatory term when I commented on your hat." My wife and I both tried to explain to him that "slick" simply meant "nice", "cool", or "stylish", at least back in Texas where we are from. Then my wife even threw in, "Now if you ever go to Texas, you'll have a step up on the local slang."
To which he replied by proceeding to let us both know that he "didn't need any slang, because he was educated he could do without it, since he did go to English class." I figured now was a good time to just drive away. What a Cretin!
This is the first and only negative experience I've had concerning my hats. Usually people stop me and compliment me by telling me how nice I look in them, or that they wished they could pull off wearing one. I always just tell them, "Just get one and wear it!"
The unwritten code at work is you can wear your hat to and from your desk in the morning and evening or when stepping out for lunch, but not during the business day—that'd just be weird. Women do it, but that's their prerogative.Wearing a hat should be appropriate anywhere, but unless it's a ball cap or a drivers cap I always take my hat off indoors.

The answer could have been: "Well, at least you know how to dress at a funeral, Dear!"The other day I was wearing just a simple sport coat with a button down shirt, and a lady in the elevator said "I'd say you look nice, but I assume you're dressed up because you're going to a funeral." Sad.

You'll run into her again one night soon, she'll have nothing but beautiful hats, and they'll all fit you perfectly. Just try not to look too "hungry' when you see her.Because my wife and I walk our dog every evening, we've gotten to know quite a few people on our street that we probably wouldn't have met otherwise. A couple of weeks ago one of the women we encounter and chat with from time to time told me she had recently been going through some "old stuff" and had found her deceased husband's hats, and asked if I might be interested in taking a look at them since I wear hats. I told her that I would most definitely be interested, but we haven't seen her since so I have no idea what she might have.
Should've said, "Y'know what? I've got this tiny little hat at home. It'll fit perfectly on that bug that's up your ...."My wife and I went to Charleston, South Carolina last weekend, and I bought my new Stetson while we were there in the market.

That would be nice, but it's not the way my luck runs. I'm guessing they'll all be size 6-3/4 with low tapered crowns and 1" brims.You'll run into her again one night soon, she'll have nothing but beautiful hats, and they'll all fit you perfectly. Just try not to look too "hungry' when you see her.
After the software change last year, I don't think you can. As far as I can tell you have to upload your photos to a hosting site like Photobucket, then insert them into your posts from there.I would, but I can't figure out how to attach a picture from my hard drive.

You have to use the Upload a File button at the bottom of the comment box. Upload the file, and it will show a thumbnail. Then click insert, and it will put the photograph in your comment where your cursor is. If you don't click insert, it will show up as a thimbnail attachment to your comment.
Scotty, there is. I use it myself.Thank you. I am used to there being a button at the top of the Reply box for that (from other forums).
Picture to be inserted later.
