    I don't have a Nielson box. :)

    That's why they don't call me PrettyFairGal ;)

    How do you stay inspired during uninspiring times?

    My issue is that these mainstream women's magazines didn't used to contain porn on the covers (and the article titles are absurd). I have no problem with consenting adults buying porn, but I do take issue with it becoming deemed acceptable for the check-out aisles. I like this parody...

    Shhhhhhhhhhh! :o Pardon me while I remove this pencil holding my hair up in a bun...;)

    How do you stay inspired during uninspiring times?

    We just got it, too! I hope you're wrong about them going the way of TV-Land that not only added awful 90s sit-coms but created their own reality shows, but you're probably right! The only reason I have cable is for a handful of channels so I'm with you on a la carte. Mister Rogers isn't...

    If I ever become a naughty girl I'll have to have mine changed for sure.

    Interesting comment about fire. I'm not into gardening because I hate dirt and bugs. :o But I do get outside a lot. I also love to sit in my sunroom and listen to my a.m. portable radio.

    How do you stay inspired during uninspiring times?

    I'm certain that most contemporary TV has given me wrinkles and headaches! I need to do parental controls for myself, I think, so I have only the channels I like!

    How do you stay inspired during uninspiring times?

    I do love ME-TV so I can watch The Brady Bunch, That Girl, Family Affair, Bob Newhart and other sitcoms. I need to stop rubbernecking when I flip through the channels; sometimes I stop on a "reality" show with my mouth agape and eyes crossed trying to take it all in because they're so...

    How do you stay inspired during uninspiring times?

    I think it's important to respect that we all have our own "buttons." Those magazines don't get me "bent out of shape" so much as annoy me when I can't avoid seeing them which means they ARE in the world in which I live. There's only so much "la la la my little world" can drown out... But I get...

    How do you stay inspired during uninspiring times?

    Thanks for the input everyone, and please keep it coming. I have built my life around my vintage values. I live in a mid-century time capsule house that I spend time furnishing and decorating with vintage finds. My career is vintage-related. I spend a lot of time reading vintage magazines...

    How do you stay inspired during uninspiring times?

    This is directed at those of you who find contemporary culture to be reprehensible due to many things already discussed on the FL such as decline of manners, shoddy merchandise, crummy customer service, bad economy, lack of style, pajamas in public, "reality TV", etc etc. What keeps you...

    Do you think there could be a second Great Depression?

    YES YES YES! I am soooo tired of people saying "Why you hating?" or "Hater!" when I point out a perceived injustice or affront. We're not supposed to have "negative" opinions or be sad lest we get medicated. Make sure you have a duck lipped perma smile! "Sophisticated" and "evolved" people...

    Do you think there could be a second Great Depression?

    Great quote, sad and scary that we reached that point some time ago.

    Do you think there could be a second Great Depression?

    Yes, but so should the corporation farming out the work. It's up to them to oversee and enforce the terms of their contracts with these sweatshops.

    Do you think there could be a second Great Depression?

    I agree that many people (and businesses!) living on the dole/in heavy debt brought it upon themselves by viewing absurd luxuries as necessities whether it's a McMansion or cable TV (which IS a luxury). However, there is a large segment of Americans who do NOT fall into this category, and that...
