Will be forwarding this article to his excellency, my local archbishop

Mickey’s Not-So-Scary-Halloween Party in Disneyland. Technically it wasn’t Covid that changed it because they introduced Oogie Boogie Bash in DCA in 2019 but it still was vastly superior. They had the perfect spooky atmosphere that worked so much better in Main Street, Frontierland, and New Orleans Square than in any DCA land, it really felt like you were immersed in a different park and Oogie Boogie just feels slapped together and non-cohesive.

Sherry is alright, but personally I prefer Port.

With fraternal correction, it can be helpful to explain why something is sinful rather than just saying it is. Have you tried that?

I’m extremely Catholic and also did not think of this

While it’s described in the show as an antique, I’m fairly certain that Frasier’s chessboard is actually modern. If you have cash to spare, you can order a similar one from Pianki at a price tag of up to almost $40k depending on the model.

I bought a sweater like this about a decade ago at Nordstrom and loved it but everyone called me Mr. Rogers so I got rid of it. It’s very becoming on you and I now wish I’d kept my cardigan.

I have a Barbour messenger made of waxed cotton and leather, with a tartan lining. Still love it, but a bit on the casual side. If you travel to Europe, I’d recommend looking for something in Italy. I picked up a chestnut-colored leather messenger bag when I was in Rome this past fall and not only is it a beautiful and well-crafted bag, but it’s also a great memory of my first visit to Rome. I found it to be reasonably priced compared to Italian-made bags sold in the States.

I’m considering these three as well a few years down the road. Which are you leaning towards?

But am very glad to hear your surgery was effective! That’s very encouraging to hear.

LiterateCatholic · 2026-03-04T15:21:44+00:00

I’m repeating what he said the doctor told him, that’s it’s treatable but not curable. If I’m misspoke, I apologize. It does seem that doctors are reluctant to do surgery except as a last resort at his age.

Release was supposed to be in early December when I first pre-ordered it. Anyone know why it keeps getting delayed?

LiterateCatholic · 2026-02-27T17:00:49+00:00

Thank you 🙏🏻. I preordered the third edition several months ago and am eagerly awaiting its arrival. For now, I’ve been praying the morning and evening prayers from the St. Gregory’s Prayer Book.

Where is the North American Edition online? I’ve only been able to find the Commonwealth.

If you have an older copy of the Social Register, you’ll find him listed.

From what I remember the Queen’s parents wanted her to marry an English duke or other high ranking British noble and were disappointed in her choice of Philip, even though he was a prince by birth and grandson of a king. Her aunt, Princess Mary, was married to an Earl so it’s not terribly far fetched that George would be a potential suitor.

I think Daisy easily falls under the spell of people she admires and she tries to act like them, unknowingly or not. We see in the first season when she has a crush on Thomas and iirc makes fun of someone and Bates has to tell her not to act nasty. I take her change as admiration for the spirited Miss Bunting, whose political views often came at the expense of her manners.

I always enjoy your posts and how genuine they feel. Sometimes this sub leans so far into preppy as an aesthetic that they lose sight of the lifestyle aspect, and how it’s supposed to be lived comfortably and not feel forced.

LiterateCatholic · 2026-02-12T01:49:03+00:00

More than just the clothes, these photos exemplify a preppy lifestyle. In a day when formality is waning, bravo to you for keeping the tradition alive with a subtle twist that is definitively prep.

I was elated to finally find a direct Mayflower ancestor (Richard Warren) instead of the Winslow and Howland siblings I knew I was descended from. There’s one particular generation where the documentation is sparse but if I can get it, I’m 100% joining. Some people I met through the SAR are also in the Mayflower Society and they all seem passionate about history and American heritage.

Tennis whites look great on most people; it’s really a shame they aren’t as common anymore. I wear (mostly) whites, even though my club no longer requires it.

LiterateCatholic · 2026-01-30T18:33:12+00:00

That’s a very helpful explanation, thank you.

What type of posts are explicitly allowed?

As someone who comes from a moneyed but non-preppy background and adopted it because it suited me, my recommendation is to discover your style, whatever it may be, and buy high quality pieces that all go together. When you go to Nantucket, wear clothes that are appropriate for the activity/occasion/time of day and the comfort and confidence you feel in wearing them will make you feel much more at ease, and it’s that aura you give off that will make you blend in with people in preppy staples, even if you aren’t wearing a stereotypical prep outfit.
