    The Sense of Smell and the Link to Memories

    scents... The smell of rubbing alcohol, medical tape and band-aids, latex gloves and other hospital types of smells remind of a difficult time in my life. Anytime I encounter those smells it's almost a humbling experience. A family friend who was about as close to an aunt as I'll ever have...

    Bring back Sunday dinner

    We usually ate dinner together every night. However, being Jewish, Friday night was the big night / dinner for my family. Even thought we were not very observant I was expected to be there. I do not remember what we did on Sunday nights. We probably went out dinner as a family on some Sunday...

    Speaking of steamers...

    David, I have used inexpensive steamers as well. This is probably the best of the "personal steamers." My mom has one and I never expected it to produce as much steam as it does. It's about 10 inches tall or so and feels pretty solid. You will not get an intense blast of steam or billows...

    Speaking of steamers...

    I use the ESTEAM. It's intended for clothing but it does a fine job on my hats. Plus, I can take it with me when I travel. Barry

    Thanks Rick, It's a great pen. It's very smooth writing and I love showing it around. I also like the fact that it doesn't skip at all. The fine nib is excellent. Barry

    Antique shows/shoppes or online

    I will say that I found it to be pricey. Also, the jacket that I bought was still listed but had already been sold. I had no way of knowing this. It wasn't a big deal because I did receive the jacket in the end. The previous purchaser returned it because the jacket did not fit very well...
