The Seeker Posted September 1, 2009 Report Posted September 1, 2009 I think jeans+tie/jeans+sports coat looks like a young teacher trying to look more distinguished
Uncle Joe Posted September 1, 2009 Report Posted September 1, 2009 Is that what they call Casual Chic?
Lea Posted September 1, 2009 Report Posted September 1, 2009 I always thought Kitzhaber looked quite sexy in his jeans, tie and sports coat
MindCrime Posted September 2, 2009 Report Posted September 2, 2009 When my daughter was over the other day, she asked me if I liked her new jeans. They had rips all down the leg...I told her she better return those and get her money back... I cannot understand the ripped jeans they sell at high retail outlets (Nordstroms, Bloomingdales, etc.) that sell for $200 and have holes and are completely faded. Those should've went out of style 20 years ago, but for some reason made a comeback.
MindCrime Posted September 2, 2009 Report Posted September 2, 2009 I think jeans+tie/jeans+sports coat looks like a young teacher trying to look more distinguished That's basically what I was visualizing, mostly a college prof with the sports coat and jeans.
Lucky Posted September 2, 2009 Report Posted September 2, 2009 Given the situation, there's nothing wrong with that IMO. we went to the opening of a museum exhibition and that seemed to be the dress of the day for younger men, rather than the fancier dress of the older men. Looked nice I thought.
edna Posted September 2, 2009 Report Posted September 2, 2009 I think people should dress the way they want, as long as they don't stink...
The Seeker Posted September 2, 2009 Report Posted September 2, 2009 That's basically what I was visualizing, mostly a college prof with the sports coat and jeans. Well then, you should definitely go for it
MindCrime Posted September 2, 2009 Report Posted September 2, 2009 I'm not a college professor though.
Shawna Posted September 3, 2009 Report Posted September 3, 2009 these boards load so very slowly for me anymore.. Why does that happen with only certain sites? I thought it might be computer, but other sites load very quickly. It seems to be this one is the sticking point, and it's making me angry.
Farin Posted September 3, 2009 Report Posted September 3, 2009 that's strange - they're both on the same server... what browser are you using?
Shawna Posted September 3, 2009 Report Posted September 3, 2009 (edited) explorer. It's slow when I click on a thread to go into, it takes a few seconds (10-15) to open it most of the time. And sometimes when I come from the Main site into the boards, that takes a while, too. What's funny to me is that 10-15 seconds is really nothing, but it sure seems slow with all the superfast stuff that goes on these days! right this very moment it's being very quick. In fact this morning it has been loading much more quickly than usual. Last night, it was slow as mole-asses, which is typically the case. Edited September 3, 2009 by Guest
Levis Posted September 3, 2009 Report Posted September 3, 2009 Is it wrong to finish an entire giant slab of chocolate in one (very, very long) sitting? I've been at it for about 2 hours and because I'm pacing myself, I'm halfway through. I think I should save the other half up.
The Seeker Posted September 3, 2009 Report Posted September 3, 2009 I had a whole big bar of chocolate for breakfast. For the third day in a row.
Levis Posted September 3, 2009 Report Posted September 3, 2009 This is dessert AND breakfast for me, I'm happily stuffed now.

I thought it might be computer, but other sites load very quickly. It seems to be this one is the sticking point, and it's making me angry. I had explorer in my late Mac and it was perfect. Now I have Safari on the new -but almost useless- mac and it's very strange, it scrolls down then it does strange things... but when I use Explorer on the pc it takes time to load too...
Viaene Posted September 8, 2009 Report Posted September 8, 2009 Mom asked me to clean up the family computer. The machine is stuffed with files and programs and runs very slow (I'm glad I got my own laptop). Any hints to make it go faster? Here's what I intend to do: - Scans: Spybot Search & Destroy, Ad-Aware, AVG antivirus - Cleanups: remove useless files, toolbars, plugins and programs - Defragmentation - Disk Cleanup
Farin Posted September 8, 2009 Report Posted September 8, 2009 scans: either spybot or ad-aware should be enough, they should look for the same stuff, so no need to do both (make sure they're up to date when you start the scan though) cleanups: CCleaner, and good call on removing useless plugins and toolbars what do you mean with disk cleanup? and I would do the defragmentation at the last point
Viaene Posted September 8, 2009 Report Posted September 8, 2009 I wasn't sure how to translate it. I think I mean "disk controle" in stead of disk cleanup. It's the feature where windows tells you what useless files you can delete (temporary files, garbage files,..) I never used CCleaner, what exactly does it clean?
Farin Posted September 8, 2009 Report Posted September 8, 2009 CCleaner does exactly that it deletes temp files of browsers and windows, cleans the registry, log files and stuff check out the website for a list (you can disable everything it shouldn't touch) the first time I used it there were some 6 or 700 MB cleaned up
