I’m not a new member, but I’ve been away for several years. I was reasonably active here for awhile, but life got too busy and I had to make valuable use of my time. Things have slowed down in the last few months, so I thought I might occasionally jump back into the fray. I see a few familiar...

First of all, my condolences. This will seem like a very conspicuous return to this forum after an absence of several years, but I am absolutely flabbergasted by the $10,000 price tag. That was a blatant ripoff. I work part-time at a funeral home here in Indianapolis. You had what we refer to as...

After being somewhat of a regular around here for a for several months awhile back, life got too busy for me to spend any significant amount of time on the FL. I posted for the first time in over a year-and-a-half yesterday and have been trying to play catch-up. I kind of intended to lurk for...

It's hard to tell for certain, but those boots in the picture appear to be suede to me. These aren't the same boots, but they are very similar although they don't have as thick of a sole as the boots in the picture appear to have. I don't have the boots, but I have a couple of pairs of...

Pavarotti- although it would be a more interesting comparison if the sound technology in Lanza's day was the equivalent of what Pavarotti was recorded with. Orvis or Filson?

I'm a left-hander and used to have very good handwriting. I can still write well if I really take my time, but I rarely have occasion to write anything down. I pay all of my bills online so I don't write more than a couple of dozen checks a year, if that. Whatever handwriting I do these days...

Waylon Jennings. Alfredo or marinara?

Regular. Ginger or Mary Ann?

I just stopped in long enough to make sure everyone is okay. It looks like except for a few sniffles that all is well. I hope you were all able to spend some time with loved ones over the holidays. We've been enjoying spring-like weather here in Indianapolis, but that appears to be coming to a...

I've cooked for myself for many years. It was either that or eat out every night, which I can neither afford nor would want to do anyway. I do mostly comfort food and I don't bake. I've become pretty proficient at it and like to try something new occasionally. I'd cook more than I do, but I'm...

Hello, everyone. I just logged on here for the first time in a month. I've been insanely busy and I haven't even had time to lurk. I just took about ten minutes skimming this thread to try to get caught up a little bit. I hope everyone is doing well and enjoying the holiday season. Things won't...

I use a post-shave moisturizer. I use Gage, which I get at my barbershop, and Neutrogena Razor Defense if I run out between visits.

I like the classic looks of the Filson line, but with the exception of a wool car coat and wool-cashmere overcoat, I've made the switch to all polyester for foul weather. I like the windstopper fleece with a waterproof outer shell. These fabrics breathe and dry quickly, plus they seem to last...

Antipasto tray with prosciutto, hard salami, olives, sliced tomatoes, artichokes, mushrooms, fresh mozzarella, and parmigiano-reggiano. The veggies were all dressed with olive oil. Beautiful hot rolls and butter, Caesar salad, spinach and ricotta-stuffed ravioli in a tomato cream sauce. Four...

Here's another one taken from our camp on Saturday morning. I'm bundled up like a first-grader in January because it's thirty degrees. That hot coffee tasted mighty fine. [/IMG]
