    Why!!!! Hipsters!!! Why!!!!!

    But I think she also is unable to grasp the working-class reality of most of America, which I don't lump into "economically challenged" although who isn't these days... Irony is a defense and toy that not everyone grasps when feeling insecure.

    Why!!!! Hipsters!!! Why!!!!!

    Where can we find other examples of nonironic living? What does it look like? Nonironic models include very young children, elderly people, deeply religious people, people with severe mental or physical disabilities, people who have suffered, and those from economically or politically challenged...

    One of the great scenes and lines: "Is It So Bad To Drift?" http://www.tcm.com/mediaroom/video/457810/Roman-Spring-Of-Mrs-Stone-The-Movie-Clip-Is-It-So-Bad-To-Drift-.html

    The Roman Spring of Mrs. Stone (1961) Chickenhawk vs Cougar

    Also, if you like to be confronted with fears about fading beauty in middle age, I recommend The Star with Bette Davis. The movie Mr. Skeffington, also with Davis, touches upon the "cougar" issue.

    The Roman Spring of Mrs. Stone (1961) Chickenhawk vs Cougar

    I watched the 1961 version of The Roman Spring of Mrs. Stone on TCM last night and hated it because it so brilliantly and tragically captured the fears many women of a certain age experience, although most of us aren't wealthy widows. The acting was sensitive and stupendous and the...

    Hi JonnyO, thanks for the information.

    Why older homes are safer from fires

    Unless of course: You have a newer product that catches fire, which happens quite frequently with the shoddy quality of today's appliances and electrical items. Don't believe it? Check products recalls for the US. By the way, note most if not all were made in China. You overload your circuits...

    Why older homes are safer from fires

    Interesting article: For generations, firefighters’ first priority on arriving at a burning home was to “ventilate” the house — opening the roof and smashing the upper windows to let smoke escape. They had, on average, 17 minutes to get anyone inside out of the building before they succumbed...

    tonyb, I've never read your posts before this thread despite that we've both been long term members of the FL. Maybe it's because you stick to the fedora et al posts where I never venture. I've really enjoyed not just what you have to say in this thread but in the way you present yourself: as...

    Pro and Cons of Mortgage Strategic Defaults.

    Yet when I tried to do the same with you in this thread, you sent me a patronizing private message. A "gentleman" wouldn't try to bully a gal behind the scenes. Be a gentleman and don't message me again.

    Pro and Cons of Mortgage Strategic Defaults.

    "Eventually" sold it for. He doesn't need to sell now. To answer your question, *I* don't want to have poor finances and am tired of bailing out people like him via taxes that bail out banks that bail out people that bail. I don't give a damn about his finances after reading about the...

    Pro and Cons of Mortgage Strategic Defaults.

    If one buys a house to live in, one doesn't plan to see the money "back." No money is lost until it's sold for less. If one isn't forced to move and has the means to pay, then there is no loss. I am judging his decision. :o
