    White pages may go the way of rotary phones in NY

    I think what Lizzie is speaking about is that we get both of our yellow and white pages in one book, and each telephone provider has their own version of it.

    White pages may go the way of rotary phones in NY

    I think this is the beginning of a trend we'll see in more places. I like the idea of opting in or out, but I wonder if they will charge for those book forms or discs. The problem I have with it is that we are now too reliant on digital. If you lose power and can't go online you wouldn't be...

    http://www.nytimes.com/2010/05/08/nyregion/08verizon.html?hp Do you still use the white pages?

    My smashing success

    I don't understand it. I've handled all kinds of old and fragile glassware successfully. Why must it happen to the most cherished pieces! Perhaps we get anxious and our hands tremble while handling them? Or is there something more sinister at play, like possessive ghosts (maybe former owners)...

    My smashing success

    Some people are unlucky in love. I'm unlucky with vintage 1950's tumblers. I've been looking for a set of six flamingo tumblers for years. I finally found the right set and I paid good money for them. Hand painted, frosted, all of that good stuff. They arrived safely. I was removing the...

    Home is where the Kitchen is

    I'm also a big fan of having a vintage kitchen. Nice. :)

    WOW! You're right! :eek:

    New L.L. Bean "Signature" Line

    I don't mind "ordinary." I was looking for it to be more tailored. For example, the knits & tees and Anthropologie and Kohl's. But I am glad you like what you see. Will you buy anything from the catalog? :)

    New L.L. Bean "Signature" Line

    I just noticed something: why are all of the models leaning to one side? Is this the pose of hipster youth?? :)

    New L.L. Bean "Signature" Line

    Actually, I don't like any of the women's clothing. Like this: http://www.llbean.com/llbeansignature/llb/shop/65382?subrnd=1&parentCategory=505954&feat=505954-sigtn&cat4=505953 I live in Maine and was looking forward to see what they would put out. Our local paper had been reporting on it...

    I am disappointed with the clothing for women. Here's an example: http://www.llbean.com/llbeansignature/llb/shop/505956?page=knits-tees&subrnd=1 It's very frumpy. :(

    http://www.llbean.com/llbeansignature/llb/shop/8?subrnd=1 What do you think?? It's supposed to be a more "hip" and youthful version of their traditional styles.

    Feedback Etiquette?

    Hi. I understand, and I am not arguing at all, either. :) I just wanted to further clarify why I would leave positive feedback in this case.

    Feedback Etiquette?

    If I receive an item on ebay that is as described, shipped promptly and safely at a reasonable cost, then I leave positive feedback. I don't buy or bid on something unless I think it's worth the price I am paying. I don't attach meaning to standard vague sales pitches. That's my rationale.

    Eat at Snack Bars?

    You might have a snack bar in your town hidden away out of sight. I'm on a hunt myself now, trying to find more. I just like the idea of these vintage places hidden away safely where I'm in no danger whatsoever of seeing hipsters there for ironic eating.

    Eat at Snack Bars?

    This is what I like. I had the best home fries at a snack bar this weekend, much better than I've had at any local restaurants!

    Feedback Etiquette?

    I want to add that I don't think the seller did anything wrong if the only issue was that you weren't happy about the fabric which wasn't misrepresented by them. I wouldn't read that standard sales pitch as indicative of any details about the item. If it was me, I'd leave a positive which I've...

    Feedback Etiquette?

    Yes, I think it would be wrong to not contact them first to give them a chance to see if they can make the transaction mutually satisfactory. I've been buying and selling on ebay since 2001 and it's the way I've always done it as a buyer, and appreciate it for buyers to do the same when I am...

    Eat at Snack Bars?

    Not quite the lunch counters tucked away in a drug store, but I'm discovering the pleasures of snack bars in long standing businesses. For example, the 1950's bowling alley in my town has a snack bar. Long standing Bingo and auction halls are some other places. Although usually greasy fare, I...

    Has cotton fabric changed over the years?

    Just found this site, and it brings up another thought I had: http://www.precisiontesting.com/textile_testing.html I know a lot of fabrics are treated with various coatings and it's possible that the coating could be affecting the wear as well.
