    Oatmeal....confused about its food group.

    The best kind of oatmeal is made from steel cut oats. Steel cut oats take a long time to cook, but cooking time can be cut down dramatically by soaking them first. Oatmeal with blueberries is a wonderful breakfast to have to lower cholesterol. Try adding a scoop of whey protein and some ground...

    Polyurethane soles?

    I made a thread about how great I think ECCO shoes are and I was laughed at and called a troll. At any rate, I think PU has some BIG advantages. Durability is one of them. I got a few pairs of ECCO dress shoes all with PU soles and I love them. The oldest pair is holding up extremely well and...

    Bicycle toes, do you like them?

    I like a couple pairs I have seen, but generally I prefer round cap toes.

    Soy vs Whey Protein supplements

    I've been following the Soy debate for years, and I still have not come to any conclusions. I try to avoid Soy protein isolate and concentrate, but I do consume a little tempeh from time to time. Fermented Soy is broken down sufficiently to prevent the anti-nutrient/phytates worry from becoming...

    white or black underwear

    I prefer my undies match the color of my outfit. I like boxer briefs from Undergear. I wear gray, black, and navy.

    fused v. canvassed labeling

    I'm still too dumb to know the difference. How can I tell them apart? I've got two different brands among my 8 suits. I've got HSM and Albert Nipon. I can feel the difference between the two. Are they likely different?

    Inexpensive Suit Quality Question

    Well, I've had good luck with "Albert Nipon" suits so far. It comes in athletic cuts, too, which is a necessity when I'm buying off the rack suits. If you're lucky, you can come across some Austin Reed or HSM suits on clearance in that range.

    Are you happy with your current salary?

    No, I'm not happy about my salary. I work a part-time job to make more money, but I want to eventually only have to work one job to make this kind of money.

    Messenger Bag

    I've got a Fossily messenger bag. I like it when a briefcase is not necessary. The quality of the leather of my Fossil bag is really good.

    Is this a possible conflict of interest in the workplace?

    I get along with the new guy alright and we need the help right now. So in that sense, I'm glad that he is on board. On the other hand, it might become a problem if their friendship starts to award special privileges, hours, and latitude. As with any job, there's tasks that people don't want to...

    That's a pretty remarkable analysis. Thank you.

    Things That Are Bothering You, Got You All Hibbeldy-Jibbeldy, or just downright pissed, RIGHT NOW!

    Lately I've been getting annoyed by people in stores who use the speedy checkout lanes yet move through the process ridiculously slow, as in not being prepared, or writing a check and taking forever in the process. Also, I'm getting sick and tired of the cost of everything going up right now...

    Is this a possible conflict of interest in the workplace?

    Just wondered if anyone would like chime on this. I have a part-time sales job (retail) and the manager of the dept I work in hired someone who he has had a long-standing friendship with. In fact, the hiree used to babysit him when he was a kid (they grew up on the same block). Does a history...

    Whats your everyday scent?

    I've been using "Usher" lately, primarily because I got it for free. I really like it. Clean and masculine, but it doesn't overwhelm.

    What to wear to court?

    I would wear a jacket and tie, but not a suit. As already stated, you don't want to give the impression that you have a lot of money. You want to dress as though your appearance is important, but not as if you're trying to impress. How about a navy coat with khaki-colored slacks?

    Giving money to homeless beggars

    I gave $10 to a guy in NYC when I was a teenager because I bought his stupid story about him having his car stolen with his wallet in it. I don't give ANYTHING to them, and I probably get asked a few times a week. I believe in donating to good causes. I donate clothing, furniture, and other...

    What happened to Florsheim?

    What happened to Florsheim?

    I have had a pair of Florsheim balmorals for about 20 years, and recently dug them out of the closet to wear again. And, following a cobbler's touch-up, they look pretty good. Went with my wife today to a store that carries Florsheim, and was not enthused with the offerings from them now...

    critique the fit of my new suit!

    Is it me, or do they pants look slightly big from the side view? Nice suit though.

    I'm on an ECCO shoe kick

    Ecco is a fine Danish shoe company that caters to another crowd than the Style Forum hangarounds. I own several pairs and quality has been good. I've walked enourmous distances with them. They have all been more comfortable than any of my Crockett & Jones. Actually, my Eccos have been more...
