It's 95 here on halloween. It's sad to see the little kids with face paint dripping sweat. However, it also makes for some sexy costumes.

Yeah, the comments about the sweaters losing their shapes on the hangers did make me paranoid though.

Halloween is just about the time of year here where the temperture breaks and it starts to cool off some, but it's a crap shoot. It can be 65 or it might be 80, you never know. I fold all my sweaters and have them in an armoire, doors open to access three rows of shelves. Keeps them in the origional shape, no "hanger shoulder" as I call it :p

These got good reviews on other glove sites, fine Italian craftmanship. I wanted a pair that was NOT open in the back, want my hands warm when the top is down. Also, they have an interesting "nubbed" leather finish on the palm side that is "grippy" on the steering wheel. Should be delivered later in the week.

m4a1mustang 08-30-2011 10:11 PM

I have most of the things on that list of 20 that frost posted. I don't have any space bags or a seam separator. No need.

Oh, here's my current wallet. Got it a while back. I routinely carry less cash in it than what I paid for it. :icon17:

I just added this to my watch collection................. very nice quality and a killer price in this economy, hundreds off the $450 list. For some reason I tend to acquire decent watches in that $500 range, instead of buying one $2K or $3K watch. It's swiss movement, sapphire crystal, stainless, alarm, date..... I like it.

I told myself at the beginning of this year that if the markets performed I would use my bonus to get a nice $,$$$ watch. :icon17: I think I'll stick with my Seiko for a while longer. :bowrofl:

So, I finally hit the age where I need to stop using soap to wash my face. I was starting to get pretty dried out, and I'm definitely seeing signs of aging.

So I purchase the (almost) full lineup of the "Every Man Jack" products. Face wash, face scrub, face lotion, shampoo, deodorant, and bar soap.

Quick review, the bar soap (or body bar as they call it) fuckin rocks. It's brown, because they don't use dyes or other BS, and it's a bit rough, to exfoliate. It also lathers like a mad man.
http://everymanjack.com/product_imag...73792_zoom.jpg
They make a body wash too, but I'm a bar guy. I've tried to make the switch a couple times, but come back to the bar.

The shampoo is okay. They have an orange smell, to match the orange-scented body bar. They advertise you could use it every day, but I have still stuck with my every other day schedule.

The face scrub is decent. It's no better or worse than the neutrogena stuff I have used a couple times.

The face wash is where things kind of fall apart. It's thin, so it when you pop the top, you have to be careful that it doesn't just dump out. It also doesn't lather. Like, almost no lather at all. So I find myself using a lot of it. Also, they don't have orange-scented stuff to match the other scents. Their face stuff comes in non scented, and mint. I liked the idea of mint, but the mint smell is very weak.

The deodorant (which also has the orange smell) goes on great. Smells fantastic, but loses effectiveness mid day. So if you're at work, reapplying around lunch is likely necessary.

Lastly, there is the face lotion. I've only been using all this stuff for a week, and face lotion probably takes a month or more before you start seeing a difference, so I won't comment on it yet.

So, I will probably make a switch on most everything, except for the bar soap. Best I've ever used.

Same here. I have a nice Seiko too, and they are good watches and generally approved by the watch snob :p I was looking at the Omega Seamaster Bond that looks like the Victorinox, both are swiss quartz movement, stainless steel, sapphire crystal ................. and the Omega is $2000. It's waterproof to 1000 ft versus 330 on the Victorinox, and definitely a nicer watch, but $1500 nicer? ............. at the end of the day I felt guilty spending that kind of cash for another watch, so I bought the Vic :p

True story about taking care of the face.

I was actually just gonna get the nivia for men stuff, but I couldn't resist the citrus smell of this stuff, it's my favorite scent.

I have dry skin. "If" I am not doing something to break a big sweat (like sitting at my desk job), I don't soap my face everyday ........... wash it with water and shave, but no soap. I have a battery operated exfoliating scrubber that I use about once a week that works great, and doesn't dry me out too much................ follow up with Neutrogena oil free lotion.

Besides, it may not be fair, but it is what it is ....................... men who stay in shape and take care of themselves get distinguished as they age, and remain attractive to younger women, whereas the same doesn't hold true in most cases for women as they age. May not be fair, but it is what it is :p

Oh I agree, like I said, it does happen some of the time, and I have seen some very fine cougars that were 50-ish .................. but, as a general rule, that is not the norm................... just my opinion :tiphat:

You may find your answers here: Our Agreement | Balcones Distilling

It's an all-corn mash, and it's not aged as long as other traditional whiskeys. It has an almost nutty flavor, somewhere between White Lightning and Bourbon.

It may be the most expensive drink ever.

A Chinese businessman has put down a deposit of $79,400 ($100,000 Singapore) on a bottle of Scotch whisky that goes for $200,000 ($250,000 Singapore). The 62-year-old bottle of Dalmore single malt is one of only 12 produced, according to a report on ChannelNewsAsia.com.

The $200,000 bottle price amounts to about $12,000 per serving, the report said.

The bottle of whisky is still on display at a duty-free shop in Singapore's Changi Airport. The businessman put down the deposit with a bank transfer, an airport spokesman told ChannelNewsAsia.

The price breaks the retail record set by another bottle of the same brand three months ago, according to the Moodie Report. That bottle of Dalmore 64 sold in London for $188,000.

Vijay Mallya , chairman of Whyte & Mackay and United Spirits, which owns the Dalmore brand, told the Moodie Report that whisky is a good investment.

“The record breaking Dalmore 62 is an absolute bargain in my mind. The owner of this fabulous bottle now owns one of the rarest and most exclusive whiskies in the world. It’s a fantastic investment, rising in value by £100,000 ($157,000) in 10 years. How much will it be worth in another 10 years?" Mallya is quoted as saying.

The Dalmore 62 was first offered for sale in 2002 at $39,000, according to the Moodie report.
