Vintage Food
Most vintage food products are simply in brand name only which is licensed to manufacturers overseas. They aren't the same tried and true brands of yesteryear.- PrettySquareGal

Canning without the use of plastic?
I am keen on reanimating it. That's what the Fedora Lounge is about for many of us: learning about and continuing traditions and customs from a bygone era. Even so, canning is very much alive and a contemporary practice. I have no interest in Fedoras but other aspects of the era. No need to...- PrettySquareGal

Canning without the use of plastic?
I am familiar with them, but unfortunately they are selling the same imported stuff, much of it plastic, as on Amazon.- PrettySquareGal

Canning without the use of plastic?
Thank you. I'm seeing there what I've see on Amazon, a mix of steel and plastic for some canning items, but still no bubble popping/measuring devices on there, and again the ones I see online are plastic...- PrettySquareGal

Canning without the use of plastic?
This summer will be my first time ever canning what I grow! It appears that I need a "bubble popper" and a top space measurer, and all I am seeing online for those tools are ones made of plastic. I did a search for vintage but nothing was coming up. In the meantime I have ordered a granite ware...- PrettySquareGal

Do you think there could be a second Great Depression?
I want to add that's why it's so important that the rest of us respect the barriers and practices they have in place to keep everyone safe.- PrettySquareGal

Do you think there could be a second Great Depression?
The government instructs essential workers to report to their "posts". My husband works in an essential business and he is out at work right now. Truck drivers are an essential business. Bank workers are an essential business yet you boasted earlier about how you spoke unkindly to them and...- PrettySquareGal

Do you think there could be a second Great Depression?
Yet you are suggesting that a true patriot will be willing to roll over and die by disregarding pandemic warnings and safety mandates to support economic freedom. (Edited for clarity.)- PrettySquareGal

Do you think there could be a second Great Depression?
As a Patriot who comes from a family of veterans and was married to an active duty Marine, I am offended that you use such noble words to defend your position. Of course we both have our rights to our opinions, but we don't have the right to disregard government mandates in place to protect...- PrettySquareGal

Do you think there could be a second Great Depression?
This pandemic, in addition to creating a mask shortage, really has a way of taking the masks off of others so that their true colors show. It's hard to believe that there are people who still feel that their sense of entitlement trumps the rights of others. Even more alarming is that when we all...- PrettySquareGal

Right. Also, yelling at employees who still have to work (so they are already stressed and nervous) and demanding they have close contact is putting everyone at risk. These precautions are in place for good reason!- PrettySquareGal

Closed as in not letting the general public enter or closed as in shut down for good? The former is keeping in line with social distancing. Most banks permit customers to make deposits with mobile apps or drive-though tellers and by appointment.- PrettySquareGal

Do you think there could be a second Great Depression?
I trust the bank more than I would having all my cash in a home safe, hidden treasure box in the woods or safe deposit box, really. I agree that having some cash on hand is always prudent but other than that I do keep my money in a half dozen FDIC insured institutions in case one fails.- PrettySquareGal
