    The general decline in standards today

    Not quite... You can draw some very unfavourable comparisons between the rock 'n' rollers of the 50s to hippies of the late 60s. Rock 'n' roll was shocking to the older generation because it was so different - It advanced music by leaps and bounds. Hippies believed in "free love" and smoked a...

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

    My brother made me do that a few weeks ago after we changed my fuel filtre. To give the engine some exercise, he told me to speed hard down a stretch of road and rev the engine to 6000 rpms! I shift gears at 2500! When I'm feeling outrageous!! He had to slam his fist down on my knee, and I...

    Childhood, Today's Kids...and The Goonies

    My mother used to say she'd give me a quarter if I stopped talking for 5 minutes... But I'm told it didn't work.

    I do have a fond appreciation for the Griswold Mobile. One of my uncles had one, and he used to ride around in it blasting Trooper. My other uncle, his brother, is in his 60s and drives a very cool red Shelby. That was more embarrassing than the station wagon, though: You know those guys in...

    I'm BACK!! :D I don't have the kind of intimidating car that people move aside for (like my brother's truck...) but I do have a wicked sounding horn. One blast of that baby and everybody runs screaming. :D I use it often, and with gusto.

    Telephone advice:

    I used this trick to unscrew bakelite handles off a metal base on an old dresser, and it worked like a charm. If I kept trying to muscle it, I would probably have stripped the screws, or worse, cracked the handles.

    The cheese does melt, and gets real stringy. It's a delight! New York Fries will also add bacon to your poutine if you ask. It's my personal favourite :o

    The Pencil Skirt

    Firstly: It depends on how tall you are. That measurement, as I'm sure you know, is from the waist downward, so try it out and see. On me, 27" would hit perfectly below the knee, but I'm 5'4". In larger sizes, that measurement may extend. Secondly: It depends entirely on the style. Skirts...

    The general decline in standards today

    Every interview I go on, I show up in a formal business suit. I went on one this morning, and I had to wear flat shoes because I twisted my ankle last night, and I felt so casual. I wouldn't dream of wearing that outfit for a job interview (I probably wouldn't wear it at all), but you should...

    You're not the only one lol These are Timbits (bit sized round doughnuts from Tim Hortons): And this masterpiece of Québécois cuisine is a Poutine (fries in gravy with cheese curds): This is the reason why I ask for gravy on my fries when I go to the States, and the same reason why y'all...

    What makeup are you wearing today?

    I know! I want them to have a Labrador shadow. :p It's not cream, it's such an intensely packed powder that it has a satiny, almost creamy finish. Pure heaven!

    Another question about hair--taming the mane.

    Pomade, pomade, pomade. And then some more pomade. Then, when you're done, pomade some more. :)

    Fine hair vs heated rollers

    It's not the fact that your hair is fine that is the problem, its the length. When your hair gets long enough to wrap around the rollers once, they will stay in no problem, because they will hold the weight. Until then, I would use the velcro rollers. You're lucky that your poker straight...

    hair quandary poll

    Agreed - It will set off the colour of your eyes, and in a deeper hue, will make your skin appear alabaster. :)

    Dita Von Teese

    My mother used to jab at me all the time for my make-up, but then I became a make-up artist lol Now she wears a little here and there when she goes out, and even asks me for advice. As for my dad, I don't honestly think he notices!

    The Pencil Skirt

    Thanks Lina! :D I'd like my hips to be a bit wider to even out my bum, but it all works out. I think curvy girls look fantastic in pencil skirts, and I bet you do too!
