    Sears might be going belly up

    Apology accepted for using word that is only a bit harsh. ;)

    Sears might be going belly up

    In Maine there was a vacation spot/restaurant called The Cascades, and it had been around for a very long time. It was sold and demolished to build something New and Current, I don't know what, but it's been a vacant lot since the mid 2000's.

    Sears might be going belly up

    Sears only exists in name but the Sears of 25 plus years ago is long gone, as others have commented. The one near me is terrible. In the summer they barely have an air conditioning (and the temp is controlled out of state) so that I had to leave it was so hot and muggy in there. It's dirty...

    The general decline in standards today

    I don't think eating s'mores under starlight, scary stories told by a camp fire, friendship, team-building, character development and cool uniforms will ever go out of style.

    Vindication for the lady in an apron hand-washing dishes

    They'd think: "He wasn't so clean. You couldn't, after all, eat off of his kitchen floors evidenced by the fact that he had to use dishes."

    Vindication for the lady in an apron hand-washing dishes

    I'm so old-fashioned that when I read the headline Dishwashers harbour killer bugs I thought they tested the hands of those who wash by hand and that perhaps I, a dishwasher, was a carrier of murderous insects as a result!

    The Good Wife - 1955

    Lizzie and I do see eye to (black) eye on many issues, so I know what you mean! :cool::D

    Vindication for the lady in an apron hand-washing dishes

    Dishwashers harbour 'killer bugs' For many householders, it is most sparkling area of the kitchen. But the inside of people's dishwashers could be harbouring potentially lethal bugs, according to scientists...

    When can you call your style vintage and when not to?

    People will always judge you no matter what, and to try to avoid that will necessarily limit your authenticity and spontaneity since consistency isn't a human trait, nor does anyone lay claim to THE guide on what constitutes perfection. Be comfortable in your own skin first. What others think...

    HELP!!! Is this a great deal? The horror!

    Sadly that won't do it. Here's a thread on it: http://www.thefedoralounge.com/showthread.php?50029-Bed-Bugs-and-Safe-Collecting LizzieMaine describes how she de-cootified a couch: http://www.thefedoralounge.com/showthread.php?50029-Bed-Bugs-and-Safe-Collecting&p=1067541&viewfull=1#post1067541

    HELP!!! Is this a great deal? The horror!

    I won't buy vintage couches, upholstered things, beds, etc due to bedbug concerns. Be very careful.

    When can you call your style vintage and when not to?

    I wear very little vintage (I love vintage jewelry, coats, some of this and that) but am 100% retro in spirit and lifestyle, as much as I am able. I don't dress the part, I guess you can say! I don't bother myself with worrying about whether or not I fit into a scripted mold with unwritten rules...

    if a person graduates from Army basic or USMC boot camp but gets discharged?

    Medical or any other honorable discharge I would consider him a Marine. Dishonorable, I don't know.

    Crazy things that happen to you

    When I was in summer camp as a kid, the swimming instructor walked up to me and started talking very slowly and LOUDLY, using his hands, asking me DO YOU WANT *does the breast stroke in the air* TO GO SWIMMING? I looked at him, confused. I didn't understand why he singled me out to yell at me...

    This generation of kids...

    The real world is filled with nice people doing compassionate things for one another alongside others who are doing nefarious and destructive acts. One isn't more real than the other.

    Like, You know

    THANK YOU for starting this thread! YES! I, too, am trying to rid myself of improper and excessive use of "like" and "you know." I recently was at a legal proceeding and it was transcribed. There in the transcript: "Is this, like..." :mad: Seriously, I am working hard on this. Thanks for...

    Are you modest on the beach or will you wear a bikini?

    Will you wear a bikini to the beach or poolside this year? (Or to mow your lawn? I had a neighbor that used to do that!) Or do you prefer a more modest and vintage approach to swimsuits? Do you think that women over a certain age should start to cover up more and if so, what age is that? For...
