    do you have many friends?

    Very apt description! X BD

    do you have many friends?

    I understand. It's tough where I live to make friends, language barrier. Somehow, we all make do. I'm thankful for the lounge and fellow loungers! X BD

    do you have many friends?

    Very true. The Internet has impacted and affected relationships and friendships (and society in general) in strange ways. There certainly are good points and bad points to this! Nah, not me I never had an 'open mind' *LOL* Always filled with something! X BD

    New sherlock holmes movie

    Arthur Wontner was a good SH. I actually didn't mind Peter Cushing as SH, though lots of people didn't like him in the role. X BD

    Children's Vintage Adventure and Mystery Books

    I have most of the Bellairs series and some of Gorey's own books and calendars. Amazing stuff! They do have a 'feel' to them, that's for certain. Many have copied his style, but none even compare. X BD

    New sherlock holmes movie

    I haven't seen the recent Sherlock Holmes movie. As a lover and avid reader of SH, I cannot bring myself to watch it (in its entirety). I saw the first ten minutes on a plane and promptly shut it off. Sorry to those who liked it, but what crap! Having read all the shorts stories and novels many...

    Children's Vintage Adventure and Mystery Books

    I really love the books by John Bellairs. Oddly, I didn't read them as a child but got into them many years after. I'm still trying to collect them all. I recommend 'The House with a Clock in its Walls' (1973). Also, you can't go wrong with the amazing Edward Gorey (love him) illustrations in...

    Children's Vintage Adventure and Mystery Books

    I myself have learned a lot about how to conduct myself, whilst solving a mystery! ;0 I'm not familiar with the Polly Brewster series or Radio Girls! I'll have to look them up. I also had some Vicki Barr stories, Cherry Ames, Trixie Belden, Kay Tracey, etc. X BD

    Children's Vintage Adventure and Mystery Books

    Hi there. Yes, ND drove a blue coupe/roadster. It featured predominantly in the series. ;0 The entire ND series was ghostwritten leading to several inconsistencies, but they always got the blue coupe in there! X BD

    do you have many friends?

    I find it's much harder as one gets older to make new friends. When you're in school, university or whatever it seems easier. In the past several years, the new friends I've made I've met them all online and thereafter they became 'real life' friends. X BD

    What are you wearing today??

    Amazing shots! I always like interesting exposure shots. X BD

    Children's Vintage Adventure and Mystery Books

    Hi Dan'l, If you can't find them, at least the HB series are easy to find at yard sales and such. The older, original series (30s/40s) with the paper covers are harder to locate, but still possible to find. *LOL* Did the series teach you how to behave? X BD

    Children's Vintage Adventure and Mystery Books

    Hi everyone, I've searched the forums, and couldn't find a thread on this topic. So thought I'd be the first to start it! I was recently talking with a fellow lounger *waves* about collecting/reading vintage children's books. I myself collect the Judy Bolton series, Nancy Drew, Dana...

    The Boy Who Would Be Tintin?

    I too really like Tin Tin, especially the cartoon adaptations. I'm a bit scared about the Hollywood movie version: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0983193/ X BD

    Nothing but Seamed Stockings

    Hi ladies, Lately, I've been buying seamed stockings from 'Secrets in Lace.' They're quite lovely, but I had to go a size larger than usual as they are nylon. I can't wait to buy more! X BD

    I listen to the radio a lot, local and shortwave. However, there is never much on. I wish there were more 'radio plays' still broadcasted! X BD
