    The general decline in standards today

    It's impossible to do anything on a few dollars a day in this day and age. I still say it isn't all that more expensive to feed yourself properly (in fact, I find it much more expensive to eat junk) provided you have a general meal plan and shop smartly. But of course, I'm only feeding myself.

    The general decline in standards today

    That, and the incredible convenience of fast and junk foods. Why spend 45 minutes of your precious time preparing supper when you can just microwave it or go to the drive-thru? If I get peckish, I spend the extra minute to make cheese and crackers. This expansion of fast food markets is...

    Good point lol And ironically enough, I'm in one of the fattest parts of this fair country - The French influence is far east of me!

    The general decline in standards today

    It's pretty difficult to argue with that. I remember reading an article written by a former Japanese student in the US. During her 18 month stay, she put on 35 pounds, and as soon as she moved back to Japan, it melted off. She mentioned a few times that she couldn't believe the size of the...

    Sexy lingerie

    Candice DeVille's post today on Super Kawaii Mama is the first in a series for how to find the right hosiery. This one is about pantyhose, and next week will be stockings. Good coincidence! :)

    They're putting saltpeter in our food too, and not telling us ;)

    The general decline in standards today

    Sure, but you can still have a reasonably healthy diet on a low income. I may not be the poster woman for nutrition, but I'm healthy and I'm nowhere near rich. I just don't eat out much, and I take/make time to cook my own food. Everyone has a public library.

    Sexy lingerie

    Yes that's a thumbs down, with a passion. They are horrid. Why deal with red marks from the waistband, feeling the seat of them slip down, or trapping sweat in your bits when you can eliminate all those problems with stockings and garters? Besides, stockings are sexy, and pantyhose are not...

    What to do about freckles and blood vessels

    Bumpity-bump I wonder if any of you ladies can advise me. To preface, I'm a very pale redhead. This summer, I was a bit too lax with my sunscreen application, and I discovered the other day that I have prominent freckles all over my face. My mirrors in the house are either under soft...

    The general decline in standards today

    The same thing is happening in restaurants. I often go to a place, get my meal, and ask if its just me, or are the portions smaller than they were x years ago? Not only that, I'm usually paying more.

    What would it be, if you could own just one thing?

    Careful, I might take you up on that ;) I'd make you a nice Victoria Sponge to say thanks, of course! First I need to be a rich Bay Street banker lol

    Coming this fall: ABC's "Pan Am" -- "Mad Men" in the skies?

    Oh sure, but the average viewer will think it is authentic. :rolleyes: I'm going to keep watching, but I really hope they cut down on the background music - not the jazz songs, the original score. It reminded me a lot of a Disney movie, it was very distracting.

    Sexy lingerie

    As far as whether things have changed for better or worse... For function, definitely worse. Stockings, garters, and slips are made horribly in high street stores (where you can find them), because its clear they are made for one purpose. Most bras have little support and look awful under...

    Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage

    Whenever I get the village idiot making the clever comment of the day to me, I grin and say patronizingly "Aren't you hilarious! :D" That always wipes the smile off their face, and if there's an audience, the laughs are now on my side. Of course, if they're in any way inebriated, I just think...

    Coming this fall: ABC's "Pan Am" -- "Mad Men" in the skies?

    CTV put their "Premieres Sunday" posters up too early :mad: The girls weren't natural. You could tell that they were 2011 girls play-acting in the 60s. At the beginning when one of the stewardesses said "You will find a husband very quickly now!" I choked on my drink laughing. But to be...

    A question for the red heads...

    It came out great! :D (PS, I love English style bathrooms.)

    What would it be, if you could own just one thing?

    A gas 4-oven AGA cooker. If it comes with Joanne Massey's kitchen, that's even better (I like the vintage range, but the English ones are way too small.)

    Thanks rue... At least someone has some sensitivity in this thread!!! shakeshead But, that picture was found off Google. This is my kitty :) And before y'all think about eating him, you'd better think of the four families you're going to invite along to the feast with you, or else there will...
