    Question about US Serivce Records

    Hi All, I know this isn't the Golden Era per-say, but this era does cover some of my interest as well. I would like some help/knowledge/opinion on some US Civil War history that I am researching of my family. I'm at a wall when searching for an old relative for genealogy purposes. He...

    Lounge member help requested

    Hi All, I have a request, but it doesn't really fall into the Golden Era. My Great-Great-Grandfather (actually both) fought in the American "War Between the States" or the American "War of Northern Aggression" or the "American Civil War" or by what ever name you want to call it. I have...

    Interesting Old Photos

    Hi All, I was just looking up some of my old ancestors and doin some genealogy tonight. Anyway, I think my GG-grandfather may have died near a place called Buena Vista, AL, around 1906. So I looked it up. Well, it isn't really a town. So I started to surf some websites of near by towns. Then...

    Help dating a picture and clothes

    Hi All, From time to time, I dabble in my families genealogy. I have a picture of my grandmother's sister, Mamie Irene Riley (married name unknown). I believe she was born prior to 1893 and died in 1988. However, I'm have no idea when this picture was taken of her and her family. Can any...

    9mm or 45cal

    Ok bartenders, if this is in the wrong place, please feel free to move this post. Fellow loungers, I have a dilemma. I have been eying the Ruger P95, which is a 9mm for quite some time. It is currently on sale at a local store here for a good price. I currently have a five shot Taurus 357...

    Facebook in the Golden Era...

    Ok, now that I have your attention. I've just decided to go totally without Facebook. I've been on it for about 18 months since I returned from Iraq. It's not that I was spending too much time on Facebook, or posting anything too weird that an employer might think was weird. It's kind of...

    Suede boots of WWI and WWII

    Ok, I've been noticing that WWI and WWII service shoes seem to be suede. Is there an advantage to this? When I first joined the U.S. Army, we had black leather boots; now we have suede boots. I miss shining my black boots, and I guess the suede issued boots now-a-days are ok, but I think...

    Do Ladies notice a Man's shoes?

    This is a question for the ladies of the Lounge, but the men can chime in to if they wish. I’ve been reading everywhere about how women really notice men’s shoes. Now, I’m happily married and this is really out of curiosity; and the fact that I’m a house-husband and I like to be “eye-candy”...

    Announcement

    No, I'm not having a baby, but the wife and I are trying! ;) I recently had my screen name changed. I was SlyGi: because I'm a GI and I had shaved my head. Well, it's been some time and I have grown my hair back, well, most of it. Anyway, SlyGi just didn't seem to fit anymore. I asked the...

    Sport Coat

    Ok, so I'm thinking about getting a sport coat for summer. I'm thinking of something simple, something that will hopefully not make me sweat during the day, and that has an inside pocket that I can put my coat wallet in. I'm thinking of something khaki, but I'm not sure because I wear...

    Pocketwatch, where to find?

    Hi All, I have a question regarding pocket watches. Is there anywhere I can get a pocket watch for under $100 that is either a windup or an automatic? I'm not really wanting a quartz with a battery; and I would prefer a watch that looks vintage. Thanks!

    Paisley goes with nothing

    Is the name of a book I'm reading, it's sort of a fashion book. I think I may have had this since around the turn of the century. Anyway, it talks about what men should know, stuff like: How to write a thank-you note How to tie a Full Windsor knot How to give a complement How to take a...

    Chrome Dome and Dryness

    Ok, I wasn't sure where to put this. Is a bald head a general attire and accoutrement? Or, is it something beautiful that belongs in beauty? Or, should it go into the display case for everyone to see? So, I have a conundrum, wrapped in an enigma, and sauteed with a little vanity. If this is...

    Vintage Cologne

    I have a quick question for the group. Are there any classic men's colognes that are still around? Mostly something from 1928 till about 1950 is what I'm looking for. Also, perhaps, something newer but is "scented vintage." I'm looking for a new, to me, cologne (and aftershave too, if possible)...

    Suspenders "Heads up"

    I was tooling around the mall today and as I walked by Macy's I noticed they have suspenders on sale. They are $20.00, and the brand is Club Room. They are also the kind that you button on, not the clip on kind (though they have them on sale too. Just a heads up.

    Hello All, It looks like its time for some new eyeglasses. I'm thinking about getting either tortoise shell frames or black frames. I was thinking of black. But a guy at the eyeglass shop thought with my coloring I would look better with tortoise shell. I currently have black and silver...

    Free Shaving Cream

    Good Afternoon all, I have some free shaving cream if you would like some. I have been working on cherry almond scented shaving cream, designed to be used with a badger shaving brush. I got into making shaving cream/soaps a few years ago when I got into wet shaving. Because I have two...

    Akubra hat color question

    Ok, I have a quick question. What is the color difference between a Moonstone, Glen Grey, and Silberbelly in hats. I currently have a Stylemaster in Moonstone, and I'm thinking of getting a Campdraft in either Glen Grey or Silberbelly. I love the Moonstone, but I don't want two hats...
