haha totally on point

2017-10-11 18:13:02 UTC  

That's good for business!

2017-10-11 20:03:32 UTC  

I teach myself a ton of stuff online. Youtube taught me how to sew, crochet, iron... A ton of stuff my mom probably learned from my grandmother but never found the inclination to pass on. Is it the same for men?

The time you could have been helping your dad in the garage was when you were at soccer practice

2017-10-11 20:24:00 UTC  

My husband has to use YouTube for some things.

2017-10-11 20:24:46 UTC  

I need to learn to sew

2017-10-11 20:25:43 UTC  

I def use and recommend YouTube tutorials for lots of crafty things.

2017-10-11 20:46:58 UTC  

Also I feel like I know how to use a tape measure.... But do I?

@Deleted User I got into sewing so I could make/modify Hunting/Military/Tactical Gear. Let me know if you need any help. Heres an Uzi chest rig I made after i couldnt find anything i wanted to buy. You can pick up old quality sewing machines on craigslist for super cheap, adjust for inflation the model I bought cost 2,000 dollars in the 40's I picked mine up for 50 bucks, works great.

@Cait_Bradshaw - MA my pops didn't slack on passing knowledge down to me and my brothers. He taught us how to build a house from ground up, how to work on cars and small engine repair, we had a tobacco farm growing up and when my dad was home we weren't far off.
I don't have any sisters so my mom taught us how to cook, do laundry, sew, child care and other things women traditionally do, so we would be prepared for the world.

2017-10-11 20:49:30 UTC  

My dad even prepared us for the JQ. My dad is so awesome. Haha

2017-10-11 20:54:00 UTC  

Also, I wish we had and mason. I want to learn tuck pointing. I understand it, but I want the secrets.

2017-10-11 21:05:58 UTC  

That's awesome. My father (if indeed I could call him that) wasn't around and I know how to do more than he does. Just about everything I learned I either taught myself or was taught to me by my grandfather

2017-10-11 21:06:21 UTC  

Sad reality for a lot of people in this day and age.

2017-10-11 21:06:43 UTC  

That's why learning these things and passing them on are so important

2017-10-11 21:44:05 UTC  

I was taught many different things from my father my grandfathers and great grand fathers on both sides. I teach my sons how to do everything I know.

2017-10-11 21:56:37 UTC  

@RevStench that's fantastic. I have great parents too but they bought into the feminist narrative and figured we'd all be career women with no need/interest in homemaking. So besides basic laundry and cooking it was kinda shrugged off.

2017-10-11 21:57:26 UTC  

@Brandon Ironside- ND that is some sweet and badass sewing skills.

I'm going to a wedding in a couple of weeks and am going to be buying a suit. What are some new styles and trendy color combos right now?

2017-10-13 19:42:03 UTC  

You arent one of the groomsmen are you?

2017-10-13 22:12:03 UTC  

@here anyone have some advice for @Tony V - CA#7460 ?

2017-10-13 22:12:50 UTC  

Depends on the time of day and the setting. In any case- black is too dour unless you're the groom imo.

2017-10-13 22:14:11 UTC  

If it's in the morning I'd go light grey with notched lapels.

2017-10-13 22:15:17 UTC  

You can get away with wearing a non-white shirt as long as it's a light color and the tie doesn't clash

2017-10-13 22:16:29 UTC  

depending on time of day either grey or black. my preference for a tie or aesthetic trim color would be a deep red.

2017-10-13 22:16:40 UTC  

@Tony V - CA#7460 Post a pic of yourself with as much visible as you're comfortable

2017-10-13 22:17:57 UTC  

if you are going with a bowtie tho just keep it simple with black

2017-10-13 22:18:08 UTC  

very aesthetic and classical

2017-10-13 22:19:15 UTC  

full white tux is very hard to keep clean during the whole ceremony + possible after party.

2017-10-13 22:19:17 UTC  

Agreed there

2017-10-13 22:19:52 UTC  

Yeah it really depends on how formal it is and what time of day

2017-10-13 22:30:56 UTC  

@Deleted User If this is your first suit, I recommend a Navy Blue & Classic Fit suit. One can always be trendy with accessories such as shirts, tie, socks, pocket squares, etc

2017-10-13 22:35:33 UTC  

^^^ This.

2017-10-13 22:40:55 UTC  

I have a nice navy blue suit, fits great. I'm wondering what color shirt and tie I should go with. It's a black tie event

2017-10-13 22:45:26 UTC  

White shirt, blue/white multi colored tie

2017-10-13 22:45:30 UTC  

Oh wait

2017-10-13 22:45:32 UTC  

I would stick with a White shirt. black tie non-sheen, black socks, black shoes and belt.

2017-10-13 22:46:02 UTC  

Yeah. Brown belt and shoes would go better if you had a blue/white tie, but if you have a black tie, black is necessary

2017-10-13 23:07:25 UTC  

Thanks for the fast responses I think I'll go with a white shirt and blue or black tie. Already have brown shoes and belt.
