A year ago a family member gave me these brown herringbone grukha trousers, knowing I liked vintage like clothing, however the pants were bought on amazon and are made of terylene, a synthetic fabric. Still I wear them, sure I'm not a fan of the synthetic fabric but they keep me warm enough in the winter without overheating and I only really wear it during winter and keep in storage the rest of the year. Have any of you this encounter situation? What do you do or would do when your given an item meant with good intent but it isn't to your standards.

📚Dewey Decimal System Day👨‍🏫 Dewey Decimal System Day celebrates a clever way of organizing books in libraries. It’s marked in honor of Melvil Dewey, who invented this system in 1876. This day is about remembering a system and appreciating how it has helped keep libraries in order and easy to navigate for over a century. Why celebrate this day? The Dewey Decimal System makes finding books in libraries much simpler! Dividing books into ten main categories, each with its own subcategories, helps librarians and visitors find exactly what they’re looking for without wasting time. This system is not only about keeping books in line; it’s about making knowledge accessible to everyone. Over 200,000 libraries in 135 countries still use this system today because it works so well​. Dewey Decimal System Day is more than just a day of organization. It’s a celebration of a system that transcends cultural and language barriers, making the vast world of knowledge accessible to all. The Dewey Decimal System’s global reach, with its use in libraries worldwide, is a testament to its universal impact and ability to benefit people from all walks of life​​. 📒History of Dewey Decimal System Day📖 Dewey Decimal System Day is a special day that honors the birthday of Melvil Dewey, the man who invented the Dewey Decimal System.

Has the fist bump replaced the hand shake? I have noticed that since Covid the fist bump is becoming more and more popular. At the same time the hand shake seems to become less popular. Is the fist bump replacing the hand shake? Is the hand shake going extinct? Can the fist bump be used in place of the fist bump or are there still times that call for a hand shake. What about the high five do people still do that or has that been replaced by the fist bump also? Any answers or thoughts would be appreciated.

The Society of Ordinary Gentlemen is supported by the donations of the members. However, donations are not what gives the members value to the Society. It is the quality of the posts and the active participation of the members that provide the value. The Society was created for the members to support each other and build friendships, not businesses but our Society is completely donor funded and without that support, we will not be able to operate. The monthly rent for our community space is $99 and without monthly support, we would not be able to exist. There are only a few members that are supporting the Society with donations, and a few others that are supporting the Society through their efforts and helping to promote this great community that we have. I would like to express my deepest gratitude for the support of these few members and let them know that we could not survive without all that you do for this Society. All others are benefitting from this group on the backs of these few that are helping to further the success and future of our Society. The alternative to this is to begin charging a membership fee. I truly do not like this idea and hope it does not come down to this. Because of this, the Gentlemen’s Patronage Day will be put on the calendar with the first being January 10th. This day will serve as a reminder in lieu of a donation email reminder every month although I will still post updates from time to time about our Society. As stated, we are not looking for strictly donations but also need more people to help advance our Society with their efforts. Further than that, any new ideas that would draw more interest to this community would also be greatly appreciated. The success of this community depends on all of us. My hope is to spark interest in men and women to go back to the respectable way of being a gentleman or lady. I believe that when men stopped dressing up in the early 60s is when society started going downhill. Morals, respect, and integrity started disappearing shortly after. After that, ladies started following suit due to the loss of the respect by men. As men, we are to lead by example with respect, manners, and integrity. Believe it or not gentlemen, people are watching how you carry yourself and the way you act. I believe that this Society could help to change that and bring back those morals, integrity and living intentionally.
