    This "sucks"... the Hoover And Other Vintage Vacuum Cleaners

    Thanks, dhermann1. That sounds better than cleaning those filters that come on the vacs these days! It's so gross- you have to dig into the groves of the filter to get rid of the gunk. It defeats the whole purpose of the HIPAA filter if, in order to clean it, you look like Pig Pen after the...

    Why is the Bum Look Popular? (formally the unemployed look)

    "How do you know that she is poor?" I asked my eighth grade teacher. "Because she wears ironed clothing and is always very well put together. Rich people don't have to try so hard." I think of MK's examples as more of a Trust Fund look. For men this tends to be unkempt and disinterested. For...

    This "sucks"... the Hoover And Other Vintage Vacuum Cleaners

    I am in the market for a new vacuum after experiencing poor quality from newer models over the last few years. I am tinkering with the idea of vintage. I love the look of the gleaming canister models, but am wondering if anyone here like LizzieMaine is successfully using a vintage model? If so...

    How to incorporate high-tech items into your vintage lifestyle?

    I think what matters to me, ultimately, is that old-fashioned courtesies, considerations and common sense are brought to new technologies like a smartphone, such as don't text and drive and turn your phone to quiet when dining out.

    How to incorporate high-tech items into your vintage lifestyle?

    I got my BlackBerry Bold yesterday and am very happy with it! I have the real phone bell ring for incoming calls and an old bicycle bell for my email alerts. I tried out the iPhone in the store and didn't like the on-screen keyboard because my fingers kept touching the letter next to the one I...

    Happy Birthday Marines - Semper Fi!

    Oh, by the way, I have that "We never promised you a rose garden" poster and it's signed by Chuck Taliano welcoming me to the Marine Corps family when my husband was still in and he met him. :D

    How to incorporate high-tech items into your vintage lifestyle?

    It looks like I am definitely moving into this era of high tech doodaddery while maintaining my out-of-date charms, however there has been a last minute change of plan. I'm pretty sure I am not getting an iphone but a Blackberry Bold instead. My primary need for one is email, and after...

    How to incorporate high-tech items into your vintage lifestyle?

    Thank you, warbird. I have been very well and the house is as sealed as it can be. I'm ready. :)

    How to incorporate high-tech items into your vintage lifestyle?

    Exactly, and once I realized this I made my decision. Also, the way it is now, I am chained to my desktop. Soon I will have more freedom to not be chained so that I am available during business hours.

    How to incorporate high-tech items into your vintage lifestyle?

    I really think it will help me not feel chained to my desk so that I can answer business emails from, say, the beach (even in winter, best time to walk there). Also, as a yard saler, that GPS will really be a savior- I've gotten lost too many times while using printed directions from the...

    How to incorporate high-tech items into your vintage lifestyle?

    Yes, I am letting go of my grip on my obstinate refusal to get one because it's too newfangled. I'm getting an iphone.

    How to handle yard/estate sale thugs?

    Oh, I thought your example was funny! I was responding to Miss 1929: "Crying works really well on men! Even if they don't care, it makes it really obvious that they did something really bad to you, and everyone pays attention." (I should have quoted her with my post.)
