    Show Us Your Tattoos

    Fairly small--about an inch and a quarter to inch and a half high, to give you perspective. Perfect if I want to do something around it. All those who say it is addicting aren't kidding. Right now I am imagining designs on my other arm, though.

    Show Us Your Tattoos

    My new (and first) ink. Quick explaination: I was adopted and over the last year I have contacted and been getting to know my birthmother. So the big initials are my name, while the inner ones represent the one that my bmom gave me at birth. I had a rough design and the artist helped me...

    Bianchi by Adam Hats

    Me too! I've been placed on a hat moratiorium right now. Of course if I came across just the right one...it is better to ask forgiveness than permission.

    How many have you lost to moths? How many rescued?

    I live in the same town where I grew up. I remember there being moths that would sneak into Mom and Dad's house from time to time but few and far between. I don't think I have ever seen one near our place in the 5 years we've lived here. I think it may be to do the bat population around our...

    Old fashioned names new again....

    We had a few names picked out for our kids and waited until we saw them to choose. My son is Matthew and Daughter is Sydney. The first name being up in the air we didn't really think about middle names until crunch time. We ended up with Gus (just plain Gus--we couldn't decide what it would...

    Hand rolled cigarettes are the best

    I wonder if people look oddly at you because they assume it isn't tobacco. That happened to me with here in the US when I was in college. I took out a pipe at a mostly empty bar once, and the bartender was really staring at me. He started to come over--I thought he was going to tell me pipes...

    Brim up or Brim Down

    I am another person that wears mine either way. Up is a bit more casual...but my "casual" is a bit dressier than others! I do notice that when I wear brim down I tend to tug it down a little more in back, whereas up looks better on my head roughly parallel to the ground.

    Do you think you're drawn here because of past life memories....

    I am coming up on the first year since I have been reconnected with my birthfamily (except my dad, but that is a different story). While I don't believe in reincarnation per se, there are a couple of interesting ideas that I have developed from the experience: 1. It seems as if interests...

    My Friday Hat Story

    I was at North Cliff antiques today. I don't know if you are interested in Western style hats, but they had one there that I am pretty sure was 7 1/8. At least it was small enought that I didn't even attempt to try it on.

    My Friday Hat Story

    On Friday I visited a local antique store that I had previously never been before. As I walked through the aisles, you can guess what caught my eye first. It was a Champ fedora, great price, in excellent condition. I took a closer look and breathed a sigh of relief. It was a 7...

    Show Us Your Pedigree! The Heritage Thread.

    I am adopted, and just recently (within the last couple of years) discovered my heritage. My mom's side is nearly completely French. Which probably explains my love of cooking with butter. Real butter. No margarine. Also my penchant for writing/philosophy, which it turns out I share with my...

    What Kind of Hats Can't You Stand?

    I don't seem to mind the cheapo fedoras, even own a couple myself. They definitely accompany different attire than a proper fedora. Same as baseball caps. I have many, but wear few, and those are generally for yardwork, sporting events, etc. Also, they are good for driving as they sheild my...

    Show us your Thrift and/or yard sale finds

    I found this parlor sized Regal guitar at Goodwill Headstock: Next to my dreadnought for size comparison It appears to be a student model--each fret is numbered. The sound is good, but the action is very high. I am planning on replacing the nut, which is metal, and putting...

    Show off your Non-Acoustic Record Players and Phonographs

    I have been slowly collecting vinyl recently and purchased a turn table with USB. Inexpensive, good sound, can record onto my computer. Then my dad reminded me that they have an old cabinet unit stashed somewhere. It is gorgeous if I can recall correctly. I don't remember how good the sound...

    Paris

    When I have traveled to France I try to put to use my limited French skills. Usually the people will quickly assess how much I am able to communicate in French and respond accordingly. Like somebody else said, if someone sees you are stuck and they speak english they are more than willing to...
