    The ones that got away

    OK, fess up... who got this Swirl I was drooling over and am mourning the loss of??

    Unfortunate food, fortunately forgotten

    I collect old cookbooks, and gelatin and mayonaise reigned supreme! Of course, I also have several recipes for squirrels (Amy Jeanne, I was just reading your comments about a certain sweater!), and even one for ... gasp ... and I am not kidding ... manatee! My kids scream when I show them some...

    Confronting a Friend About Clothes

    Could you suddenly start needing immediately everything she asks to borrow? You know, "Oh, sorry! I'm planning to wear that tomorrow." or "Oops, no, I need to sew a button on that this weekend." or "No, that needs to go to the cleaners." Any reason at all that she can't take it with her. That...

    Sunbeam Mixer

    I have the previous model 9, and love it dearly. Mine is missing it's "turn table" and original bowl, but I use it as a hand mixer (good for working the arm muscles!). The babies are absolute work horses. Amazing...you buy a mixer for twice what one of these costs, and it lasts a couple of...

    Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage

    I don't dress full-out vintage, but I have a lot of vintage pieces that I mix, and several vintage dress (by vintage, I tend toward a period from the 1950s to the "retro" items of the 1970s). I had a student -- a guy -- ask me one day was I really "into" clothes. I answered that I certainly...

    Unpopular movie opinions...

    OK... Tried to watch Breathless last night on AMC. Jean-Paul is beautiful to look at, the clothes are awesome, France is beautiful. But that movie is ugly. I know it's arty and something of a classic. I just really didn't like it. I don't like movies that make me feel bad AND give me nothing to...

    Favorite Vintage Perfumes

    Marian! I found it (now I just hope it smells like I remember...). I ordered it. And I didn't even have to do anything bad (other than, of course, order stuff I don't really need so I get the shipping deal on drugstore.com!). Yay!

    Favorite Vintage Perfumes

    I would do bad things for some Love's Baby Soft. I don't even know why, but I have a weird but very serious hankering for that stuff. Sigh...

    Unpopular music opinions

    Not so much dislike as "never heard of"ness... (see: eveready above!) Kahuna, that? ... is hysterical!

    Unpopular music opinions

    Glad to see I'm not the only one who doesn't like Sinatra... don't get his appeal at all. I also have never understood the appeal of Judy Garland or Liza Minneli. Or Sammy Davis Jr. (seems to be a trend here... but Dean Martin is on the "love!" list, soo...) Also hate the Grateful Dead...

    Redhead/Ginger?

    Of course, when wanting to find them, I can't find two articles to add to this discussion. I remember them because my daughter is the only red-head in the living generations of our family (a great aunt had red hair, and we think a great grandfather did...). Always: "Where'd she get that red...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    OK. wow... just watched the 1925 silent Wizard of Oz. So wrong on so many levels.

    Tick-Tick-Ticka-Ticka-DING! If you love your typewriter.

    Thanks, Lizzie. It honestly never occurred to me to wind ribbon onto other spools. Makes no end of sense! Thanks for the links. I'll get back on the look-out then! I, too, learned to type the "old-fashioned" way on a big heavy manual typewriter (class held in the basement of my school...

    Tick-Tick-Ticka-Ticka-DING! If you love your typewriter.

    I would love a typewriter, and often find neat ones in thrift shops around. But where oh where to get ribbons for them? I've done a few searches on typewriters I've found, and can't ever find sources for ribbons... so I pass up the machines sadly. How do you keep yours typing?

    FAVORITE WILD ANIMAL

    Would you believe I met a vulture that stole my heart?? We were visiting an animal rescue place, and a few years ago,they had rescued a little vulture chick and raised it. She is free to fly anywhere she wants, and they think she's even raised chicks out there somewhere, too, but she got...

    Tasers, Airplanes and Health Insurance

    Exactly... and this is perhaps off topic, but ... today on the news there was discussion of the lawsuit against McDonald's over the happy meals. Now, I'm no fan of that chain (or any chain), but the argument seems to be along the lines of "this chain is marketing to our children, luring them in...
