    Do Estate Sale Ghosts Ever Want Their Things Back?

    You don't like the attention? I find it flattering. :)

    Do Estate Sale Ghosts Ever Want Their Things Back?

    I once won a box of old hankies on ebay and when I washed them, black stains suddenly appeared on one of them. I shrugged it off to a chemical reaction with Woolite- or a ghost that didn't like me washing away her tears. Either is fine with me. :)

    Fire hazard?

    Good news. My friend can order replacement parts and is going to replace the caps for me!

    My new old radios - all bought in September

    I bought my first ever vintage radio today and just learned about all of the hazards with tube radios (http://www.thefedoralounge.com/showthread.php?t=23714). You obviously know what you are doing and can fix them up which is great! Your radios are all so beautiful.

    Fire hazard?

    Oh, sorry, I meant a 1953 radio! It's a small clock/radio. It sounded so nice, but I won't plug it in again until I get it checked out by my friend who restores radios.

    Fire hazard?

    Lizzie- I have a Philco from 1953. It does have tubes. It has a "UL" sticker on the back and is 115 volts. Will this still have the same hazard, do you know? I was just so excited to plug it in and have it work. Bleh.

    Fire hazard?

    If the cord of a pre-1960 appliance is in good order, can you see there being some sort of fire hazard because it is vintage? What about tube radios?

    Show Us Your Oldest Books

    I have one copy of Godey's- it's complete. Besides admiring the fashion plates I love to read the fiction and poems.

    Show Us Your Oldest Books

    Cool! I've found all kinds of things being used as bookmarks in my old books like ribbon, torn newspaper, folded notes and also I've found many dried flowers. :) (Is anyone else paranoid about some kind of latent vintage virus spore being in the pages? No? Oh. Well I'm weird like that!)

    Lolita Haze, I don't always agree with what you write, but I always admire your confidence, spunk and sense of humor. :)

    LADIES of the Lounge Calendar

    I cast the oy vey vote. Not everyone who posted their pictures intended to enter a beauty contest. Personally I think it's just bad form (forum, too) to start discussing openly about who is the best looking. It's all subjective, anyway.

    Wherein I make a spectacle of myself

    Thanks, Samsa. I've gone through what you described, and I realized over the years that I was unable to quit smoking and still drink (at all). *Any* loosening of my inhibitions and I was lighting up (and yes, bumming a smoke off of someone, anyone lol ).

    I'm used to men overlooking pearls and aprons. ;) Seriously though, I agree that making this a popularity contest isn't the greatest thing.

    Dishes Men Like (Food!)

    Cherry Red, that all looks delicious! Sorry I missed your post earlier for some reason. It's unlike me to overlook good food. Miss N, that looks very tasty, actually!
