    Could you work at Starbucks?

    yah yah, bit old but I have to chime in. I used to be a barista at the mermaid, was the first starbucks in our area. Came in around 2005 or so, which is when I worked for them & I was nowhere near 20's, closer to 40's nor am I hipster. It was a job when I needed it until I got my RE license...

    Bracelets for Men with Dress Clothes

    IMHO wrist would be with whatever you are comfortable with. I'm right handed, tried wearing my watch on that wrist but just cant do it, its always getting hung up or smacked so I wear it on my non dom hand aka my left. As for facing towards you or away with the lettering, I've always seen away...

    Dressing nice in the modern world can lead to trouble?

    Well, beside the fact that many areas here in the usa are banning Rottweilers, German, Shepards, Dobermans, etc I'd still go with what I had as a kid.. a lovely Siberian Husky. She was sweet as pie but one time when we were walking her in our village, on a choke chain with lease, a friend of my...

    Spectator Shoes

    GHT, Never heard of a heel insert like that, I've at times resorted to using moleskin in that fashion, will have to check it out. Thanks for the suggestion. I just have to be selective on my shoes as far as the heel area goes, no way I can afford custom made shoes. Much as I wish I could, its a...

    Spectator Shoes

    GHT, that pair in the middle of the left side, that's considered oxblood? (drools) Those are sweet looking & would go so well with the stuff I wear. Ya'll are driving me crazy with these shoes, my only issue is I can not wear shoes with thin umm "collars" in the back, they have to have some...

    Bespoke military uniforms?

    Guttersnipe, far from it, I know many here are way beyond that crass act. As I said I'm against wearing them & trying to pass yourself off as a veteran, I'm sure many understand a general "you" without my need to say it. And the wearing them to represent your passed family member, that I...

    Bespoke military uniforms?

    Not to be a downer, but for those of you that did not serve, please keep in mind that its not right for you to wear medals that you did not earn & try to pass yourself off as a veteran. I'm specifically referring to the USA here, I do not know how other countries handle it. I earned my rank &...

    Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame

    Luis, You can certainly pull off almost any shade of purple, I do it when I wear my Stetson & its almost the exact same shade. I just don't wear my Stetson enough though anymore as I normally wear my VS Black Cherry. But I've paired them both with darker greys, purple, black, dk green, sky blue...

    Advice needed! Tan suit and black shirt?

    Since this part is being missed by respondents ;)... the OP doesnt seem to have a choice in colors if they want to retain their job it would appear. o_O

    Advice needed! Tan suit and black shirt?

    When I worked for Starbux many years ago, mid 2000's, one of our uniforms was khaki pants with black polos, there was another too, might have been black pants with black polo but I've rather deleted it from my memory. It wasnt that bad, I mean shift leaders & baristas wore them, our asst manager...

    Is "yanks" an offensive title

    Ehh, my mothers father or grandfather (cant remember which offhand) used to say they were "Yanks" along with being a mick & indian/redskin. I embrace it, specially considering I live near the mason Dixon line currently. 8-) And sides, a yank here means northerner, which I am even though I've...

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    Lot of places here have started refusing 100's & 50's as legal tender, heck I've even seen one store not a mom & pop post they are refusing 20's. I'm sorry, I don't like using plastic, I want bills of all denominations including 1's to be used in the usa for a long long time. Plus since my only...

    Home Cider Making

    Hmm, I've made mead in the past, had very drunk deer from my strawberry dregs too. But making apple cidar & hard cidar sound interesting. I grew up near a place that made their own cidar until the state of CT stepped in & said their giant stone press/mill wasn't sanitary enough, making everyone...

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    Try where I live its a pretty good distance for most kids to their schools, unlike when I was a kid but then again I didn't live in a rural area then, I was in a small village in new England & my elementary school was there, the jr high a bit further (I could bike to both, walk to the...

    Terms Which Have Disappeared

    That's the difference nowadays between the northern & the mid atlantic areas Liz, not that its wrong in any way but I haave been approached by many from PA, DC, B-More & such who do call them mobiles as the parks here are mobile parks even though the trailers in them are very far from being...

    Terms Which Have Disappeared

    Around here my association is trying to remove the word "Mobile Home", they want to fancy it all up & call them "Manufactured Home", right peeves them off I will not call them manufactures, I call them mobiles. Even when they correct me, I look them dead in the eye, get my dog-face (war-face) on...

    Chow Time during the San Francisco Earthquake & Fire 1906

    Wow, whats really interesting to me at least is the china plates in the last picture of the 2nd set. 6 plates fused together from the heat of the fire. Dang I can imagine if something like that happened today in the USA, I do not think it would be a pretty site. Thanks for the pics Green...

    Golden Era Things You've Revived Or Repaired For Use

    I have to say one thing about the reel grass cutters, least you wont accidently reverse over your 4 yr old child & massacre her. Read an article couple days ago that a father did that to his daughter, she is really messed up badly. Don't remember where, past couple days have been major brain...

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    HD, That clip with Tim Conway & Harvey Korman is funny, Harvey was having a hard time keeping a straight face. I loved the Carol Burnett show, those folks could make ya laugh without being too "blue". Didn't Mr Bean (Rowan Atkinson) or Benny Hill do a skit like that also? Some of the old...
