    Sears might be going belly up

    Shop SEARS Stock & Save. Closed at under fifty cents a share 10/11/2018, expected to announce their own final demise within days.They've lost money every year since 2010, would need $1B a year just to stay alive, and have a debt payment due 10/15 they're unlikely to make. Looks like this is the...

    Today in History

    Pierce saw enough failure, horror and tragedy in his life to earn the right to drink himself to death. Interesting guy, not presidential timber.

    to sell here or ebay

    I would ask, on behalf of the members, that you offer here, and if the stuff gets no action, donate or sell on eBay. Maybe a quick list of the kinds of things you're talking about? Thanks for considering our folks. :)

    "Reveille and Taps: Daily Meditations" Booklet Issued WWII

    I thought it must have come through a unit chaplain or someone like that. Thanks for the Watchword connection--that makes sense. It would be difficult to trace who George Smith was. If only his name was Zbigniew Crumplesworth or something.

    "Reveille and Taps: Daily Meditations" Booklet Issued WWII

    This was issued or given to my father sometime during the war by a Rev. George Smith. It was prepared by The Committee on Wartime Service of the Church, Dayton, Ohio, by the Church of the United Brethren in Christ. Copyright 1943. My father, when I knew him, was not a formally religious man...

    Your first job

    My first job was cleaning the dog crap in the morning twice a week at a boarding kennel I could get to by bike at 16. I think I made about $1.50 an hour. The big dogs were fine. The little ones shredded my pant leg.

    What Podcasts Grab Ya?

    I dug up a thread from 2005 suggesting there should be a Fedora Lounge podcast, which surprised me that we were talking about them so early. The comments there are funny, in hindsight. My wife is very much into true crime stories (and is starting work on her Masters in abnormal psych to back...

    if a non white person tried to order a meal back in 1850 would they serve him?

    In my area is the densest population of indigenous Guatemalan people in the United States. I've written numerous articles for local publications sharing their story, why they're here, why they've chosen this specific place on the map, how they got here, what they've escaped, why they don't speak...

    if a non white person tried to order a meal back in 1850 would they serve him?

    I read an interesting story recently that predicted mass migrations in the coming centuries due to climate change, and a resulting natural selection process favoring darker skinned individuals. In other words, given time, we'll pretty much all even out.

    Levi's 501 1955 vs modern 501 fit/differences?

    I got a pair of 501s in the eighties and wore them until they literally fell apart--the entire seat from back to zipper just shredded. It took 20 years for that to happen. I loved the button fly but that was the only pair of the 501s I had. So I bought another pair about four years ago and they...

    Summertime And The Front Porch

    We've moved to a place with no porch out front but a large patio in the back with a magnificent view. That's where we are every evening. I miss my porch swing.

    Eleanor Roosevelt, Daycare Pioneer

    By Scott Daniels A Young boy naps at the Swan Island Daycare Center, Portland, Oregon First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt is rightfully credited with many accomplishments. She may in fact be the most hardworking, perhaps the most important presidential wife ever to occupy the White House. Other...

    Coach Glasses Case ($10); NEW 1960s-style glasses frames ($20).

    Outermost edges across, and from the bottom to the top of the frame where the lens goes in. I have a big head, and glasses aren't one size fits all. ;)
