    Twitter?

    Yet you post to the Fedora Lounge. lol If Twitter et al has an imposition feature wherein when I update it blasts the messages to everyone at all hours without their ability to avoid me, please tell me about it. It sounds like some great mischief! Not to mention an opportunity for businesses...

    When does a gentleman fight back?

    My husband is a gentleman. And a (now a non-active duty) Marine. Not inconsistent.

    Gentlemen what is the ideal lady for you?

    And I'm offended by the use of "world." It's a planet named "Earth". Let's show some respect! lol

    Gentlemen what is the ideal lady for you?

    You'll have to ask the opposite sex human* you're speaking with her preference. But if you are asking me, you can call me gal. :) But I have no problem with female or woman. *me being facetious

    Gentlemen what is the ideal lady for you?

    Of course, no female/broad/dame/doll/gal/lady/woman/wyman/miss/add yours here can speak for all of us. "We" are individuals and any worthwhile potential suitor will take the time to get to know the preferences of the opposite sex human he is courting. Also, "woman" and "women" is an insult if...

    Much ado about "DOO-WOP"

    I love Doo-Wop but don't have any particular favorites! I have a box set and also listen online to a Doo-Wop station. Growing up my mother listened to Cousin Brucie on WCBS every Sunday night and he played Doo-Wop.

    Gentlemen what is the ideal lady for you?

    I like to be called "ma'am" but only when preceded by "yes." :D

    Dying (and burying) the old-fashioned way

    Marc, I like the simplicity and immediacy of that, very lovely. It doesn't sound rushed or lacking in respect. Just more like, here is his next stage and we will help him pass into it right now on his time table.

    Dying (and burying) the old-fashioned way

    I like that in Victorian Era New England people were buried besides their home. I also like that people were allowed to talk about death in polite society. It wasn't taboo like today! Oh, death is plastered everywhere, but our own mortality is a no-no!

    Dying (and burying) the old-fashioned way

    I find the concept intriguing. I know I would like to spend my dying days at home but I never thought about the funeral being there, too. What made them special? I'd like to learn more.

    Dying (and burying) the old-fashioned way

    I just came across this article: http://www.bangordailynews.com/detail/103602.html It's about do-it-yourself in-home funerals, and according to the article: "The last time having home funerals was a widespread custom was during the 1950s, but that is changing fast. “Home funerals...

    The birth of the ranch house.

    Lincsong, you had asked me what 50's ranches look like here in the NE, but I think it may have been in the 50's landscaping thread but I will answer here. I've been looking around on the MLS and as I drive by. The majority of the 50's ranches I see in the Portland, Maine area, except for a...

    The birth of the ranch house.

    Viola and fortworthgal: thanks. There are some shrubs out front that will need trimming but I will square off like my grandmother used to do. The land has lots of old growth trees so I won't be doing much more in the front. There are some flower pots on the windows of the enclosed porch so I...

    The Return of Mom & Pop?

    Now that you mention it, I know of at least one of those here that redid their menu and marketing to make it more downscale.

    The Return of Mom & Pop?

    WESLEY CHAPEL, FL--You don't have to travel far in Tampa Bay to see an empty parking lot and a closed down restaurant. But, in Wesley Chapel, we found one place where the orders are piling up, the seats are filling up, and business is sizzling. "I'm doing what I've done for 40 years," says...

    The birth of the ranch house.

    Same here- I will be the third owner of my 1950's ranch! The counters are original along with the cabinets I posted. I plan to visit the Habitat for Humanity store to find more original fixtures and what not.
