    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    Oh, my mom was a good kid basically but would do things....One time Grandma planned on strawberry shortcake for dessert and had some whipping cream chilling in the fridge. Mom drank it all and replaced it with milk. Grandma was whipping and whipping and it wouldn't whip when it finally dawned...

    What are you wearing today??

    Patrick, LOVE that suit! Suits today are boring.

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    My grandma had an old Singer kind of like that. One day she was using it and my mom was playing around underneath. Grandma ended up with the needle straight through her finger to the other side.

    Ladies, what are you doing this evening?

    I should do that, Lizzie, but I don't want to part with my money. I got home from church a while ago and just finished an email to most of my friends letting them know the store I work for needs help NOW. We are not ready for the holidays, no sir. I suspect I'm going to have to work my butt...

    Repairing greatcoat buttons and buttonholes

    Can you borrow a sewing machine? It really does do most of the work for you. You don't even have to use the buttonhole setting, just the zig zag stitch to finish the edges.

    I want the rotary phone.

    Recommendations for inexpensive wines

    Surprisingly, the Sutter Home pinot I bought the other day is better than I've had previously. It has bite.

    Ladies, what are you doing this evening?

    I'd like to crochet a snood, but I can't seem to get started.

    What are you wearing today??

    I had to work today, but my pants are sailors and I'm wearing a black knit scoop top and patent-toed flats with cut-outs. I guess it's a sort of beachy '40s thing, though my hair is early '30s today (finger waves and a low bun at nape). Jewelry: a silver bezel-set ring with 2 raspberry...

    Which Silver Screen Star Do You Resemble?

    I guess that is the silver screen era! I didn't think of cartoons....

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Three different people have uploaded Cold Turkey to youtube. Maybe I'll give it a try tomorrow night.

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Finished Male and Female a bit ago and it was FANTASTIC. Never knew how great the silent pictures were.

    Which Silver Screen Star Do You Resemble?

    I'm sure some of us have heard we remind someone of this or that person in the current media. But what about those stars of the Golden Era? Anyone who could be your long-lost cousin? I feel I have the unusual bone structure and eye shape/color similar to that of Gloria Swanson. Who do you...

    What's for Dinner?

    Had an "appetizer"--snack on way home because I was starving--of Havarti and almonds. Now it's time for a chik'n cutlet with gruyere and parm cheese baked in white wine, a simple salad with caesar dressing, and a glass of pinot grigio. Dessert might be a bit of chocolate ganache. I don't even...

    Ladies, what are you doing this evening?

    I got home half an hour ago. I'm not sure what I'm doing, but I need a late dinner and I need to fix the straps on the t-strap pumps I bought if I want to wear them to church tomorrow (too big and one is sewn a bit crooked). I bought two new tops and I may wear one tomorrow, so that'll have to...

    Ladies, what are you doing this evening?

    I guess wine's a bad idea. I wish I wasn't out of seltzer water.

    Ladies, what are you doing this evening?

    I want to go to bed but my tummy is rebelling. I was so hungry and tried to eat, but hiccups and acid. I don't know what's up. I'd go to bed right now if I felt better.

    How does a girl keep warm?

    I live in Wisconsin. A 3/4 length coat with a couple of layers (including leggings under my long skirt or fleece-lined tights under my shorter skirt*) works for mildly cold weather, down to the teens. Now, that's when I have a car. I sold mine and am taking the bus, so in a month or so I can...

    What are you wearing today??

    I audibly gasped reading that description. I sometimes lament the 4 car accidents I've been in, but OK--that's never happened to me! Thank God you're, you know, alive.
