    Vintage Things That Have Disappeared In Your Lifetime?

    Which makes you wary (and weary) of accepting his help, I bet. My brother is the king of this. He once filled up my car with gas when I was short of money; I hadn't asked him to, tried to pay him back, and in the end thanked him profusely. The other night, he asks to borrow my car for a...

    Excessive posting? ... Interesting.....

    Many congratulations! :D I had FB for three weeks when I was 16 - I deleted it for the social drama it caused in such a short time, and never went back. Since then, I have preached to many the benefits of being rid of the evil account, and though they scoffed, the converted have never been...

    The Wifely Duties

    How touching :) Thank-you very much for that, it helps renew my ever fading optimism. I think you're right - and thank-you. It frustrates me sometimes, because I really don't want to wait until I'm in my late thirties to find the right person and get married. But it seems my only choice...

    Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage

    Which is how you should feel - deeply, deeply sad. They're just two-bit punks in clothes that don't fit. I've had it before too, I just smiled and said "Well, you're certainly going far in life!" I think it's sweet that you made an elderly gentleman happy to see you. That far outshines the...

    Calling Toronto FLers!

    Sounds exciting! :) If enough Torontonians are around for a meet-up, I'm in. For fabric stores, you want to hit Queen West. All the good stores are right at Queen and Spadina , across from Alexandra Park. First, go to Leo's Textiles - This is *the* best fabric store in Toronto, bar none...

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

    That isn't fair, I mean that the girls complain about the clothing. I would be begging to take them home with me if I were an extra. As for the costume guy, I'm sure they threw an old magazine at him for "prep" before the show, and that's how he became the expert. :rolleyes: Good for you, I...

    Cuba ends ban on new cars

    Well, I mean traveling there without a visa, and that the possibility does exist. I'm not sure if it would be deemed unconstitutional, but you're probably right about it being challenged. I imagine that will happen at some point.

    The Wifely Duties

    It's lovely to know there are men out there like you two. I like to think I have the same sort of relationship with my boyfriend, but I know if I mention marriage he'll hit the road. Every single guy I know has that fear of marriage - To quote one of these guys, "the end of life as we know it."

    No way! :D He certainly looks the part. Can you tell us who he is?

    Cuba ends ban on new cars

    But because of the restrictions and trade embargo, you can't spend money (as you mentioned) and it's virtually impossible to leave the resort. The only US citizens who have looser restrictions are those with family members living there. Also, if you do travel there illegally and the US...

    Excessive posting? ... Interesting.....

    At my old firm, I would have been destroyed lol Actually, the man I work for part-time now is a very nice chap. He's every inch the old fashioned lawyer, with white hair and black suits, and he has a clear, unhurried speaking voice (which, if anyone here has ever taken dictation, you'll know...

    The 40s Man

    That's a nice house! :) And I'm pleased that he got a much more pleasant response than his female counterparts did.

    Excessive posting? ... Interesting.....

    With more responsibility comes more headache, right? I can't help but think about it though, especially since I'm the "kid" of the office that runs after the big lawyers with a notepad. It would be fun to have someone run after me with a notepad, but I'd probably end up feeling so guilty that...

    That sounds like a job for Paul Bunyan if I ever heard of one... My beau might have more money if he wasn't a Master's student. But he's kinda cute :p I feel a good 17 years younger looking at that.

    Oh no... Igniting propane is too much of a danger for someone as accident prone as I. Cauliflower is one of the few vegetables I like, especially with cheese :o It's building up my willpower, that's for sure. You have to become good at that when you're po' like me lol Your folks must have...
