    A Day in the Life

    I see many similarities here. We, too have lost our spirit; but ours was the fruit and vegetable industry that went under... and dragged many lives with it. I managed perfectly fine, like yourself, without boutiques, without galleries and malls... only thing I do miss is the lack of cinema (we...

    A Day in the Life

    St. Louis, you have also mentioned the non-giving up of the computer. It's a necessity.. and not only for my work (since I so often have to power-up my PC and continue work from home). The only way for me to reach out people with similar ideas and liking is by computer. Some things we can not...

    A Day in the Life

    True. :nod: I have spent my entire life (so far) over here. That's almost half of a human lifetime. Everything I can remember has a place in my home. No, I could not manage to come back and see others (non-family members).. :nono: That is what I'm most grateful for: my parents have decided to...

    What is your favorite red lipstick brand/shade?

    Black Dahlia, this looks amazing. I went a bit wild these days and ordered something new. It arrived yesterday, and I wore it to work today. Avon's lipstick in Tangerine Tango. I never had my lips in that color before - it's refreshing. :D

    A Day in the Life

    I believe I would act the same way - since I've never left this home of mine. What would it be like; leaving and then coming back to see Someone Else living im home that is no longer mine.. and does not look like it. Yup, I'd surely weep. :nod:

    A Day in the Life

    Ah, yes! Some folk like to joke around and say:2 don't worry about Zombies, we'll handle that". Some basic knowledge are not to be forgotten: making soap, preserving meat and fruit, building a shelter... Damn those! :rage: They tend to interrupt the nicest day.

    Classic ballpoint pens for everyday use

    To this day I swear by Parker. It's been around for ages, and I have a Parker Vector (both ballpen and rollerball).

    Long Lost Honeymoon Photos from 1939

    That is true. When I observe a black-and-white photography, it tends to appear "artistic" of "out there", but when I saw "WWII in colour" for the first time I was left speechless. Only then did I manage to gasp the full intensity of the war. Color gives life - and on occasion, it's scary...

    Long Lost Honeymoon Photos from 1939

    Amazing documentary. THAT precise one is what have finally taught me to understand that those years did, indeed, pass in color. My point, exactly. :nod:

    1950s Teenage Girl Etiquette in 2014

    All is said in a single quote: ''In order to be a success in the world, you have to be pretty as well as look pretty. How do you get to be pretty? By having a pleasant personality. You must be affable, considerate, generous, open hearted and polite.'' Thank you for sharing this. :thumb:

    You know you are getting old when:

    :rofl: Other way around is: when you think young men still *might* find you attractive (Cougar calling?) :doh:

    What's for Dinner?

    Pass that along, sir. :yo: Dinner yesterday: Soup (chicken, leftover from Sunday - even better the day later) Pork chops. Freshly made cherry juice.

    30s Secretaries Dressing Inspiration

    Here's the quote: "In 1931, as radio was growing in popularity, the inventor Thaddeus Cahill began experimenting with ways to capture the medium for individual listeners. He wanted to make radio not a communal experience, but a private one. His solution was a chair that integrated sound...

    You know you are getting old when:

    First sign of getting old(er): children passing by you and they put on the serious face while greeting you with "Good day". :nod:

    Long Lost Honeymoon Photos from 1939

    Indeed, it does. It's strange, when you look at it: we accept any modern photography in color, but once our eyes see the folks in the picture are from the 1930's and 1940's it tell us "something is not as it should be". [huh]

    A Day in the Life

    First off: wonderful post, DecoDame! :thumb: Mine also didn't manage to get electricity for quite some time after WWII, and TV was not needed. But, Grandpa loved the radio. I remember him turning up the volume so he can hear it outside, in the yard - he loved listening the football games...
