Look at this will you?  
It is a post. It has been posted.  
I guess you knew that, since had it not been posted, you likely wouldn’t be reading it.  
All the haters can go home now and think about their wrong life choices.  
This forum works just fine, my post is my cite.

What I don’t get is all the hate for the hatters.

I wish hats would come back. I used to love getting a new hat for Easter. And it was a Thing to Do to go into the hat department at the big stores and try on hats.

It was JFK who put the kibosh on hats for men, but Jackie wore them. Why didn’t they stick around?

I miss gloves, too. Especially these days! I rooted around in a dresser and located an old-timey pair of Della Street gloves. A woman wasn’t well-dressed without a pair of gloves. I watch a fair number of vintage murder mysteries on TV and a female murderer never had to worry about leaving fingerprints at the scene or on the murder weapon. Of course, today gloves wouldn’t look right with jeans and a t-shirt, which even we Old Ladies wear.

‘Bless your heart’, OP

I made my wife buy a hat, she was beautiful in it, people stopped her in the mall to compliment it. When we went fishing, the wind blew it in the lake. She pretended to be sad.
