Did I go any where today, is it really this cold in TX, am I wearing actually pants and not just shorts? No×3. I just really wanted an excuse to post an outfit of the day and try to tie a scarf :)

I saw this list today of 10 things someone can do that make a big impact and thought it was worth sharing. You would think this should just be innate in people but sadly it’s not. I will say I agree with it all and I do try my best to do all 10. I think it is so important to be present in life and in our everyday people interactions.

There are so many "generations" it is hard for us "boomers" to keep up. Here is a quick reference guide. - The Greatest Generation (born 1901-1927): - The Silent Generation (born 1928-1945): - Baby Boomers (born 1946-1964): - Generation X (born 1965-1980): - Millennials (born 1981-1996): - Generation Z (born 1997-2012): - Generation Alpha (born 2013-2025): - Generation Beta (born 2025-2039):

Almost every member of the Society that joined on or after May 11th had to answer the screening question, "Who is your favorite gentleman role model, real of fictional? Why?" The answers were as varied as the members. With only so many characters available the answers had to be fairly short. This is your opportunity to expand upon your answer and why. Even if your "role model" has been mentioned by someone else, the Society would like to know your reasons for choosing that person. Go!

As most of you may have noticed, "ordinary" and "gentlemen" are in the name of the Society. The two labels are intentional. Ordinary: of a kind to be expected in the normal order of events. What is commonplace or standard. For members of the Society, being a gentleman or gentlelady is the expected norm, it is the common mode of behavior, not the uncommon. It is the ordinary man or woman that does extraordinary deeds in times of trouble. Gentleman: a chivalrous, courteous, or honorable man. And in the Society a gentleman or gentlelady also exhibits the traits of honor, civility, discipline, and empathy. As a member of The Society of Ordinary Gentlemen we are "labeling" ourselves with certain traits and the desire to nourish those traits within our community. In recent post a few members "labeled" themselves using language that was less than flattering. While meant in jest, the use of unflattering language regarding oneself plants "seeds" of thought, which can lead to actions which are not appropriate for a lady or gentleman. While labeling themselves, they also used the annoying use of **** instead of the correct letters to "mask" the words being used. If I type A**hole or c**t in an effort to use words that I wouldn't use in polite conversation at the dinner table with children present, does it in anyway "mask" the words? No, it doesn't. Everyone who read the previous sentence read "Asshole" or cunt" even with the self-censoring asterisk. If you are going to use foul language, us it with complete sentences and spell the words. There are no fucking children here! As you can see, I used foul language to make a point, and I didn't censor the words. While everyone can be an asshole, or a cunt, or a bitch, or a whatever at times, I urge you to not attach those labels to yourself, or if you choose to do so for comic effect, do it rarely.
