Nowadays almost everyone has a cell phone. However, cell phones are very new in the overall time span of man, having only "gone public" in 1977. Since 1977, cell phones have evolved dramatically and…Continue

Clayton L replied to martman's discussion Merkur DE safety razor suggestions?"I think this is a great idea - even if you end up still wanting a Merkur after buying a used razor. If nothing else, having another DE razor for length/weight comparisons when shopping online would be very handy."
Clayton L replied to martman's discussion Merkur DE safety razor suggestions?"I also shave with a 34C (Long Handled Classic). I agree about the pattern on the handle offering extra grip when the handle is wet. What led me to the 34C rather than the Hefty Classic or Classic was a fear my hands would be too large for anything…"
Clayton L replied to Ryan's discussion Leather designs you just can't find....... in the group Man Bags"Well, I've successfully ruined yet another cell phone (iPhone) belt holster. It seems that no matter how hard I try, I can't find one tough enough to last. I'm a big guy, and tend to be rough on things such as this. However, I'm…"
Clayton L replied to Luis Campos's discussion How do you deal with an unmanly man like this?"Wow. A lot more expletives than I anticipated. Nevertheless, I'd say that, based on the information provided, I can understand your frustration with this individual. However, there are (unfortunately) tons of people in the world exactly like…"
Clayton L replied to Shane Evans's discussion Checkbook wallets, manly?"I'm all for a thinner wallet that's more comfortable when carried in the rear pocket, and think a checkbook would work well toward that purpose. I was torn between the SBL checkbook and the Large Bifold when I made my purchase last year. I…"
Clayton L replied to Michael S. Hilton's discussion Shaving Armpits."Unless you're a professional athelete in a sport where it's the norm, my answer would be "no." Aside from the general reasons, it's also somewhat risky shaving your underarms. They are a warm, dark place, where bacteria can…"
Clayton L replied to Patrick L's discussion Big Bank or Credit Union?"Agreed. CU's are able to offer better rates and more perks than virtually any bank due to their being geared toward serving their members, who are also their shareholders. Kyle brings up two excellent features that not many people know about…"

Clayton L replied to Mike's discussion Is Style an Expression of Vanity"I agree with your point, Ian. I don't think you can place an across the board label on everyone who purchases more expensive clothing, as many, many people do so to have quality clothing that lasts longer. However, I don't doubt there are…"

My Wife (Amanda) just had her Gestational Diabetes test, (the one were they drink that horrible soda.) we are waiting on the results of that. By all measurements we are still trucking along for April 27th or so.

- as far as pointers can go... Here's what my dad told me.
1. Babies aren't as fragile as you think. Don't treat them like glass but don't treat them like a block of wood.
2. Every new parent screws up. Even your wife.
3. Don't feed the baby honey.
(apparently my mom screwed up and fed me honey as a baby.)
and hey if you get a chance throw a vote my way in the man bag contest... I made the top 5.

- Thanks for the compliment on the mini-site. Glad to hear you're expecting as well! We're due the end of April. I'll keep you posted on our progress. Is this your first child?

Ryan said… - Hey Clayton,
Welcome to Man Bags and the AoM community! I think you’ll find a lot of great, interesting groups on here as well as fantastic discussions and people. Both my dad and myself have made some great friends on here.
In Man Bags, we talk a lot about Saddleback, but feel free to share with the group your favorite bag or company. This group is about bags of every stripe and color. Start a discussion promoting your favorite every day carry item. I assure you, you’ll find other people in the group who are like-minded. Not a fan of Saddleback designs, no problem. Tell us what you don’t like or what you’d prefer. I look forward to hearing from you in the group!

Nick Lanier replied to Elliott Jason Ridgway's discussion Bible Translations in the group Christian Men"Steve,
I have had the opportunity to read the NABRE, and understand the reason the translation was done. Personally, I view it as a step in the right direction, as many of the laity do not study on their own. However, I tend to enjoy…"
