'Serenity'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I have heard the Amber mining industry is horrible.
Others may work 10-hour days in amber mines, eating salt and pozole to keep from dehydrating. Because of their small size, children between 9 and 14 years constitute the majority of the mines’ workforce, digging 2-3 ft high tunnels into the mountains. Early in life, most have developed deep coughs caused by years of working in the smoke and dust -- all for about $2 a day.

Typically/traditionally speaking:
Morning suits have cutaway coats in either gray (worn with gray pants) or black (worn with striped pants). The coats are paired with a waistcoat (vest).
Tuxedos are standard jackets or tails, typically in black or white. Paired with matching pants and either a waistcoat or cumberbund.
Morning dress also is WAY HOTTER than regular tuxedos, IMVHO.
For the longest time, I thought they were Mourning Coats.
I thought the only place to see them was on Masterpiece Theater.
In a tuxedo jacket, you can have your barn door open and nobody might notice for a long time. In a morning coat, people will notice.
(Also, you have flappy tail things, which are almost as good as a cape!, on a morning coat, which you do not have on the standard tuxedo.)
I've seen people in morning dress in person only at weddings, and they never look comfortable in it. I think it must take even more panache to look comfortable in morning dress (to say nothing of evening dress) than it takes to look good in a tuxedo.
DH and I had this same conversation about tails/morning coats when were discussing our wedding. His roommate at the time (who was an usher at the wedding and was going to have to wear said coat) said, "Morning coat? Who do you think I am? Beau Brummell?"
I seem to recall it was only the second funniest discussion we had with him.

Engagement rings are given on occasion of an engagement. Wedding rings are given on occasion of a wedding. There are other differences, but that's the biggie.
Cindy--imagine the person is between you and the exit. Imagine they're not approaching you, but moving for one of your kids.
Running isn't always the option--it's the option we want to enable, but there are a number of possible obstacles.
So, are morning coats supposed to be only worn in the morning?

All this time, I never knew amber was mined. I thought it was collected aboveground.
