    Need Some Help With a Gift

    I'm asking for help to try to figure out a gift for someone. My nephew's wife recently texted me a message to offer something to him for a special occasion. He's in his thirties and they have been married for about 5 years. For the past several years he has been very involved in taking care...

    Careful now, there are those of us who like exaggerated giant-breasted wasp-waisted skinny-legged blonde blue-eyed Aryan Barbies.

    Appropriate Memorial Dress

    I will be going to a memorial for a fine fellow next week and am curious about what would be appropriate dress. One would think, oh yes, black suit, white shirt, black tie, etc. would be proper. But it's a celebration of this fine fellow's life so why dress down? Black suit, white shirt, rich...

    Powerball up to 1 billion - what tools would you buy?

    I believe this is a serious concern as you would be a target for every freeloader, crook, and scam artist in the country and beyond. There is the concern of your personal safety as well. First thing to do would be to hire a team of attorneys, accountants, tax specialists and maybe strongmen to...

    The Decaying Evolution of Education...

    My own view on this is that the nature of education itself is being affected by a sea change in culture, technology, and global circumstances. Education is becoming less valued and more important at the same time. Our national culture and western culture is undergoing enormous challenges that...

    Experience of service in the Armed Forces

    I came from a military family and spent many years in the Civil Air Patrol but that's all another story and another life. Out of high school I joined the U.S. Army in 1962 as a Nuclear Weapons Technician on the advice of a friend. In 1962, even as an enlisted, this was pretty heady stuff for a...

    Old Department Stores

    Now with Walmart and Target and all the others we seem to have lost a lot of the upscale to midscale stores - and products. It says something about how our economy and culture have changed but I'm not sure just what that is. I do know the general discussion is that many of the popular stores...

    Vintage Products That Leave You Wanting

    Fragrance additives! Used to love Old Spice toiletries for men but there is only one product left of the originals as far as I know and that's been perverted with some new formulation. I don't know if its me, my aging frame, or what, but new products of all kinds have been loaded with stinking...
