    Vermont Country Store; Hard-to-find-items

    The store is about twenty minutes from me. Always a fun walk through - it's enormous, and truly surrounded by buggies when you go. Across the road is an Amish livestock auction barn, and there's an old store with a diner in the basement that's so cheap you look twice at the bill. Regarding VCS...

    How to post pictures!

    "if you take an iPhone picture with the device on its side make sure the volume button is down." ???????? Makes no sense. If you are taking a picture with an iPhone, using the down volume button will trip the shutter. And would have no effect or picture orientation. In any case, all of the...

    Mom is passing away today

    I'm very sorry for your loss, Cindy. When we are born, we come into the world surrounded by a group of people, our family. Our parents, grandparents, siblings, welcome us into a big new world.

    Chronic Illness

    This is a much better expression of what I was trying to say, Lizzie. Ohio has the highest overdose death rate in the United States, and my county is one of the worst in Ohio. A single county in Ohio has the highest death rate from opioid overdose in the United States. It's all anyone talks...

    Chronic Illness

    Such marketing to the end consumer makes no sense, but people must be showing up at their appointments saying, "I need some of that Exmoral I saw on the teevee that's supposed to cure what I've decided I have." Such advertising also drives up prescription costs, escalating an already out of...

    eBay hats outrageously priced

    I guess on the west coast USA, anyway, prices and supply for 20s-60s menswear are soft. Dealers and collectors are turning their attention and higher price demands toward 80s and 90s T-Shirts, where the money is. And as I remember us complaining here about Whippets skyrocketing to $40... these...

    To show shirts' cuffs or not to show...

    I prefer to show shirt cuffs. French cuffs more so than barrel or other finishes, because I want to show off my cufflinks. I would not fuss with measuring, as sitting, reaching, standing, etc., all constantly change the amount of cuff showing. I do not like to see a jacket (or even a sweater...

    The 80s, myth and reality?

    There were relentless commercials on TV to sign up at Control Data Institute to learn to use computers. "for the jobs of the future." My roommate in college got a degree in programming. He manages a Wendy's in Canton, Ohio. Also in college, the fallout from the Iranian Hostage Crisis continued...
