Back in fashion
Is there an out-of-fashion item you would like to come back in to fashion? I'd say manners if I was answering this, but what about you? Is it clothing, a type of music or hair style, a tradition or way of life? What would you like to come back into fashion and why?

Manners would be my choice, seems they have fallen out of vogue. I have to say that I blame the parents are to blame almost 100% because there is no expectation. Where have all the parents gone? Letting children make decisions on what to eat, and when to sleep?
Hi, Galen! @galenkp You always put out interesting subjects
I 100% agree, manners are distinctly lacking these days, I actually just wrote a post about it, and in it I mention parents in the same context you do above.
I hope you're well Swigles, and have a good weekend.
Sorry! With no wifi to speak of, I have missed so much and then some. I will be back Sunday night!
But, it has still been nice, even without it!
No wifi? That sucks for sure...We have come to rely on it so much that when it's gone it's like we've lost a leg. I hope it comes back soon, and there's no need to apologise.
At the camp. I am at a cafe right now. Ihave been gone over a week so no pisting to speak of!! Anyway, despite losing my leg, it's been fun. :)
Your leg will make a glorious reemergence, I'm sure of it. 😉
I'll toss some off-hand remarks here in the comments, sleep on it, and see if inspiration strikes to expand on something tomorrow or the next day.
First the quote, "A man endures misfortune without complaint." I think there is a fine line between the mental strength of stoicism and the psychological injury of bottling everything up, resulting in substance abuse as "self-medication," abuse of those closest, and even suicide. Injustice is a misfortune which will persist until someone complains and acts to make the ignorant aware and bring shame upon those who are guilty or complicit.
Complaint and compliment
A number of my co-workers have habits which irritate me, but on the whole, are still wonderful people.
Nickname given or received
Yeah, I'm not going to go here, because these are hilarious but exceedingly off-color stories.
How do people see you
I don't even know where to start on a physical basis here. I'm not sure I can take that kind of perspective. I just know my entirely average adult male height is exploited by my shorter-than-average female co-workers. They only want me for my body, right?
Back in fashion
I would like to think it was once fashionable to have civil discussion when we disagree, and instead of the weak "agree to disagree" platitudes, people really wanted to live and let live instead of demanding political and corporate pressure be applied to coerce others. More superficially, we are way overdue for a ska and swing revival.
It's an interesting quote right? I was wondering if someone would comment on it as usually no one really comments on the quotes I add in.
Seems like a good complaint/compliment opportunity.
I was hoping to see something funny in response to this.
Oh...That happens to you too? 😂
Now wouldn't that be a nice thing to come back into vogue.
I think that misfortune in the quote refers to the hand of fate or something similar. Maybe I'm not a man since I complain a lot about so many things that are our of my control and I can't fix. But such is life. I was raised by complainers, so it's a habit thing.
However, I saw the other comment on the quote and couldn't agree more. There's something different about Injustice and discrimination that could only be fixed by raising your voice and complaining about it. At least, that would be the start of it.
I believe the word man doesn't refer to the gender, but mankind. I could be wrong.
Having said that, I don't think that excessive complaining, especially about things outside of one's sphere of influence, isn't productive. We all have a whinge, but then comes a time for evaluation, decisin and action.
And yes, raising of one's voice, a complaint as such, about injustice, descrimination and so on is likely to have a ripple effect. I guess it's all subjective.
I tried to play a little with the words. But it could also be interpreted like that. Who knows?
There's a lot of coping mechanism. Whining is one of them and it helps get a lot of negativity out. I use it to keep bad thoughts from festering in my head. Similar to a kiai in marital arts.
I'm not above a little whining, but I always follow it up with action because, for me, action moves things forward.
I hope you have a god weekend and have something enjoyable planned.
Sure. Same around here. I whine but I'm still doing the stuff that needs to get done. No Toher way to move things around.
Same to you, mate. Though my weekend will only be a lot of work
Working on the weekend? Me too actually, but not my job, just around the house, which I enjoy. Have a good one, I'll see you around at some stage I hope.
Well, I'm working on some instruments, so that's my bread and butter. It's enjoyable. Though, I get time to do some other stuff. About stages, maybe just the stage of hive as I'm not interested in playing for public anymore.
Happy weekend to everyone. The nickname being among is a great choice for me... All the others are all worth writing on as well.
Happy weekend to you also.
Thanks so much.
Here we go again! Nice topics as always!
Happy weekend to everyone.
Have a great weekend yourself, I hope you manage to get engaged with something that makes you happy.
Nice topics to write about. I think I love the nickname part. Let's keep moving. Happy weekend guys. One love
I think the nickname prompt could be quite funny and interesting to read about.
Yea. Because simething must really happen before a nickname is given. It would be a fun read.
I love the topics. Will surely make an entry for this.
No worries, and have a great weekend.
Oh gosh, you have another set of amazing topics. Reading most of the entries is really fun and entertaining. Have a happy weekend sir!
I hope you have a great weekend also. All the best.
Bringing manners back into fashion, perhaps this starts in the home, perhaps many parents need to be admonished on this one.
Have a wonderful time with #WeekendExperiences everyone!
I don't know when manners fell out of fashion, but they have it seems, and I agree with you, it starts with the parents.
Most things in life are eroded away by man made rulings, as soon as law is put into place small pockets of people push disproportionately into what they feel should be the angle. Look around at woman's rights, children's rights and many ideas started in form of protection now twisted to suit a small minority. In essence confusion reigns supreme!
My greetings. I couldn't help but get into this conversation about what my friend @joanstewart thinks and I would give 50% to family and 50% to education and medicine. In that way ? Well, we all remember how strict our parents were when it came to educating us at home, but a psychologist doctor came and said that children could not be hit since that is considered bad treatment and then the children began to throw their tantrums and his bad manners grew with him. And at school, I've seen that many teachers don't know how to speak well, so that is transmitted to the child in the classroom and the child learns to speak like that. So it is part of the family and part of society that children go back to the fashion of the old days where just by looking at them they already knew that they were being scolded and that when they got home a punishment awaited them. I vote to return to the fashion of manners !!! (maybe it's my revenge, lol)
Much has changed, every so often see couples who still manage to get the right balance, sadly not enough.
Thanks for visit @isabelpena we are no longer living life as we know it, parenting will be for each to manage in the best way possible, teaching manners is a basic along with cleanliness!
The topics are mind-blowing.
Off to write🖋️✍️
Happy writing, and have a good weekend.

Really nice initiative.
As always you surprise us with your questions, there are many things that should come back in fashion, including music jijij, and how people see me, sometimes I also ask myself that question, I would like to know, greetings.

Today is our third day without water (they are allegedly working on some repairs) and we had ran out of reserve. Luckily, it rained a little. So, we have been collecting rain water; what a blast!
