IIRC, that site was once home to an Adam and Eve store, maybe even the first. That was when another Phil Harvey enterprise, IPAS, also had a home in downtown Carrboro.

It's the all things are new to the youngsters. Nothing happened before the internet. Despite the ancient Greek playwrights writing about the war of the sexes, it's brand new. Guys, only the casus belli changed. Selfish macho guys are always going to suffer when women have a free choice because...

Is there anything that is more than internet chatter? Is there a particular profile or profiles of the type men most affected?

Women have their world And men, we have ours We're into sports And they're into flowers Oh, women are talking We do not understand They speak in a language We do not comprehend No one knows how it started And God knows how it'll end The fightin' continues Women versus men

I was 5'11' 175 going in and 5'11' 116 when I dropped out. I had issues.

Fwiw, I considered number two but considered that, while there would be some indeterminate lag time, it is self correcting as the elderly die. There is also a considerable lessening across the board of health , education and welfare needs, among others for the first 18 years of nonproductivity...

74 in March. I definitely have more senior moments and age is a part although I feel like some of that go back to chemo a few years back. I guess I'm being a bit defensive when I see many so many posters who seem to feel like age by itself seems to be an automatic disqualifier. I'm all for...

My wife is a couple of months younger than me and she's been slipping slowly downhill for the last 3-4 years. She's started having to be reminded of thing more, repeats herself and spends less time reading and more watching old TV shows. Makes me wonder what signs I might be missing in myself...

If a sketchy looking country boy ever served you a beer there during that time, then we met. Theoretically Jim and Bobby did all the bartending but I filled in anytime Jim had a date (often) or Bobby was too high (more often). Fwiw, I probably was as well but as long as too much alcohol wasn't...

Other than the social burden of eldercare, I don't have it very clear in my head what the dangers of a decreasing population is. Neither farming, manufacturing nor construction require the same numbers of bodies to support their current rates of production. With a declining domestic need, that...

Jim reopened The Cave sometime ,I think, in October of 1973 after it spent a short time as the Pegasus, which, iirc, was Chapel Hill's first gay bar. It had originally been opened as the Cave in 67 by, I believe, one of the Sparrows. He had it for about five years. That's when Steve Nash had it...

John's brother has been one of my closest friends for over 50 years. John and I were friends as well. He worked for the same architects, with he and his partner generally doing larger jobs, and hung out some. I helped upfit his place for handicapped living after the accident. Annie was a sweet...

I stopped by his placed about once a month. Not buddies but we were on decent speaking terma.

Let's see. I was the first bartender Jim hired outside of his brother Bobby. I knew Steve Nash when he (and his silent partner Wheaties Richardson) bought it from Jim. My wife started working there when Steve was running it. Bo bought Steve's part later. My wife, Maureen Chieffet and Meg, I...

Says a 5 percenter. America is one of the better countries but we have too many that are hungry, sick, poor and homeless to think we're the best. Being proud of our country is good. Being proud to the point of ignoring where we need to improve is idiocy.
