OH MY GAWD! Sal and I went to Savannah and Vic's on the River and we looked lovely...noticing the lawn mowers that you describe above. I remember this restaurant because I took out my partial (2-teeth retainer) and put it in my napkin and after a bottle of wine...LEFT IT THERE!

I didn't remember it was gone from my mouth until after our horse and buggy ride back to our B&B! I called the restaurant and some 20-something answered...I explained the 'delicate' situation but when I tried to describe my 'partial,' she cut me off with, "I know it's a pinkish color, but really, THAT'S just too much information.

By the time we got back to the restaurant and I once again tried to describe the offending lost item to the owner, he explained that the table-linen cleaning company had already come to collect that evening's pile of dirty linens.

We never found the motherfucker which ended up costing me about 1,700$ plus the bottle of wine that caused my forgetfulness.

So, although Sal and I were very stylishly dressed at Vic's on the River, I will forever remember that establishment for an entirely different reason!!

Wow! What a bummer! You sound like me...I threw away my Invisiliner braces wrapped in a paper napkin, while fully sober, actually thinking I might be doing so but saying to myself, "Nah, I'm not THAT dim". Cha.

Hope you enjoyed Vic's. I did not like their crab cake at all, but everything else was yummy. I had 2 gin & tonics there, one was a well drink and the other a call with Tangeray. You really, really could tell the difference between the two gins. Their well gin is virtually non-existant. Just sayin'...

Gee. I sit down, scratching my head and wondering about things a little more than usual. Okay. We all wear jeans, don't we? Looking good in your jeans is a universal standard. A white blouse and jeans is always a good bet for looking good when going out anywhere. In your case, I know, the blouse has to be clean and well-accesorized. Whatever. And in my case, a tee shirt is not a blouse, no matter what I say.

A tee shirt is never a blouse. They are way too masculine and unattractive. I always know a woman has lost interest in how she looks when I see her in a tee shirt. I wear them around the house when cleaning, but that's it. Never in 'public'.

I wear jeans a lot. They are a universal standard, but not to a restaurant where there is linen on the table. My 2 cents.

I love this group! Thank you ladies, all of you!

They look like they had a bad night and woke up in somebody’s utility room.

Dear god in heaven that is funniest thing I've read! Tears are rolling....but it sounds like some people I work with (I work in a warehouse). I realize the Fashion police are out and pointing fingers but I dress for comfort and utililty. If that means I dress like a guy in Doc Martens, jeans and a tshirt, then that's what I'm wearing. The thought of heels makes my feet hurt. The thought of hose makes me itch and the thought of trying to remember to keep my legs together while wearing a skirt is too much work for me. Sure, I can dress up when I have to and I look good when I work at it but society puts too much pressure on women on what they "should" wear. I'm not having any of that mess and will wear what I am comfortable in. Yes, I get questions on my orientation but let them wonder I say. Gotta keep that air of mystery!

It's not about what you wear every day. It's about dressing appropriately when you're somewhere that isn't just the hardware store. Do we just forget all that? I suppose with time that will happen. After all, we no longer wear powdered wigs, and I used to think my late father in law was out of sync when he would wear a tie and jacket to a barbecue at my house. Maybe this group is just the last gasps of a dying breed that bought into the last remnants of a 'class system'. However you slice it, what you wear still projects how and what you feel about yourself.
