Re: The little joys of life...
Beating Fritz 16 (Beginner Mode) in a game of chess without peeking or taking back a move. As part of the above, watching my "rating" increase as I notice tactical opportunities and combinations I would not have noticed before I started seriously playing the Fritz program (in Coach mode). ...

Re: Sydney Catholic school allows shorts
I was just imagining the scene if "The Karate Kid" decided to wear a skirt...or a dress. And handing out a little "Chuck Norris" to any bully who landed the first blow. Purely in self-defense, of course.

Re: Slips as shapewear and as undergarments
I've always worn support hose, graduating to tights and leggings and combinations thereof in colder weather.

Re: Guy in Valdosta
Actually, I have to put in a plug for YYYYMMDD-00:00:00.00 in Coordinated Universal Time...or being a cranky old guy, Greenwich Mean Time. I played with an old IBM 1401 SPS machine, but worked with S/360 DOS. I started out liking skirts, now I like a dress here and there....too girly? Give me time, ...

Re: Guy in Valdosta
The most interesting attempt to explain things from a human perspective, in my opinion, is "Genesis One" by Dr. Gerald Schroeder with Zola Levitt. Basically, G-d wrote the formulae, so to speak, into the matrix and BANG! Best Answer: Matter cannot travel faster than the speed of light. But...

Re: The boys are not all right
Why is society pushing this warped notion of masculinity on men? Why? Why is it pushing it on women? ... I realize and understand your pointing out the difference between masculinity and machoism. However to the public at large there is no difference. Much of this may indeed the the byproduct of ra...

Re: catwalk a/w18 male fashion
I'd likely wear the outfit, change out the shoes and possibly the legwear. And certainly lose whatever that is on his back.
Re: Privacy
...that can be done with mobile phones, but not so easily, and I always have my smartphone bluetooth and location identifier switched off. I discussed this with a much younger member of my family and the response I received was rather disturbing. It seems that the younger generation have little con...

Re: unisex clothing.
I downloaded several things here and there that show like a week's worth of outfits with only 14 items of clothing - you just use a different mix every day. I'm happy enough using a few outfit guides like that if I like most of the outfits displayed...wherein lies the rub. Compare: Trousers: Navy or...

Re: Running into family / friends / collegues
I didn't even think about it when I started wearing skirts. I just went places I needed to go to and did what I had to do. I've met, spoken with and otherwise interacted with friends from my church with no problems - being dressed in pencil skirts, a-lines, midis, minis, running skirts, dresses, and...
