    Redwing BeckmanRound 6" Boots - Black Cherry - 13D

    Redwing Heritage 6" Beckman Round toe boots in Black Cherry Featherstone leather, size 13D, Style 9011. I like the design so much I bought them anyways even though I normally need a wide boot. Worn them about a dozen times, and they just aren't going to work for me. There are a few scuffs from...

    Clothing and effects of Titanic passengers

    Stumbled across this site today. http://www.encyclopedia-titanica.org...hp?angle=1-110 It lists the clothing and effects of all of the recovered bodies from the Titanic. It is kind of interesting to read through.

    Tax questions - how much to earn?

    What is your health insurance situation? Because I am self-employed, I can deduct my health insurance premiums, as well as my contributions to my HSA.

    What would you do? – EBay mishap.

    I would call Paypal (they do have a customer service number if you look around the site). Explain to them that he shipped the wrong shoes, issued a prompt refund, you shipped the shoes back and they were refused, and the seller sent an email saying he doesn't want to be contacted again regarding...

    Buck for the summer HELP

    Oconnell's has some decent bucks that come in wide sizes (I wear 3E in Allen Edmonds and these fit just fine). They are Alan Payne and made in Brazil. http://shop.oconnellsclothing.com/casual_shoes.php I bought a pair of tan about a month ago and have worn them quite a few times. I will...

    Jantzen, Reliable at last?

    I would love Jantzen to have a few regular oxfords. Instead, they are all french oxfords. Unlucky. In the Extra Fine, there is 8281 & 8301, and in the 84xx series, there are Italian, Heavy Italian, Diamond, and Royal oxfords. There are some other Italians in the upper numbers. Not sure how these...

    First Brown Shoe?

    If you are doing the Park Ave for your only black shoe, the Fifth Ave would work great as your only brown. It's the same as the Park Ave, but has a row of punches across the toe cap.

    Business card opinions needed!

    Check out moo.com You can print short runs of cards with different full color graphics/photos on each card. They also sell mini cards which are about the size of the little plastic discount club cards you are supposed to stick on your key chain. If you keep those very simple it is a great way...

    Why are people following my twitter?

    I'm in the same boat. Never sent a tweet, and still have several dozen people following me. 95% of them are vendors who either searched and found my profile mentioning my job, or found me through one of the 5-6 people I am following (all work related). They are probably looking for you to follow...

    Wedding present from the Best Man

    Rather than using a gift to cover up the ****** speech, use some of the money you were going to spend on the gift and find a drama/public speaking coach (check the local college), and take a few lessons. Then the bride and groom can remember the nice speech you gave (which was what you were...

    Haggling (today) in stores

    I saw a segment on 60 minutes or some similar show probably 10 years ago about a guy in NYC who only barters for what he needs. He is a painter and he trades paintings for whatever he needs. They followed him around as he tried like a dozen little shops in 6 hours before he found somebody who...
