    what if you could travel back in time but could never return?

    Not all women succumbed to societal pressures, as you obviously understand. I'd much rather risk social stigma and challenges- those can be overcome with the right attitude, grit and grace. Finances and inflation, well, a good attitude won't fix that one.

    what if you could travel back in time but could never return?

    But is it really an option to stay at home if you can't quit your job? That was my earlier point. :(

    After one more post I will have 1,000 total. I just want you to know that nothing special will happen to me or will be done for you at that time. ;)

    what if you could travel back in time but could never return?

    Gotcha. Well, my family is Jewish, and they are and were American, as were millions of other Jewish American families. So I don't think that statement applies to all people during that time.

    Yes, I think you turned out quite ok. :)

    what if you could travel back in time but could never return?

    Thanks for clarifying and sharing your experiences. They are all true and excellent points. It's just that many of those things still occur today, and where some things have been eradicated, there are new problems yet to be solved. So again, I'm not saying you are wrong, it's just a matter of...

    what if you could travel back in time but could never return?

    The same could be said of people preferring the present day. It would be nice to be able to voice a personal preference without it being judged as naive or lacking in perceptiveness because it differs from your own. I'm not interested in proving anyone else wrong, or defending what I think...

    What time period are you describing?

    what if you could travel back in time but could never return?

    I would go back to the 40's and 50's and never return to the present. I think in many ways women are more oppressed today than before. There is legislature (although thr ERA never passed), and then there is culture. We look at the housewives of the era and most think that pearls and aprons were...

    What exactly can one ultimately control other than one's outlook, opinions and actions? :icon_smil

    Hemingway Jones Is Back From The Hospital :-)

    I have to agree with this. You really are a wonderful friend. My thoughts are with both of you.

    Special Delivery

    Dreadful.

    Special Delivery

    A romantic way of saying express mail. Or maybe there was more to it! Anyone?

    Special Delivery

    I overheard a post office worker explain to an elderly lady at the counter that "special delivery" no longer exists. How sad. Also of note in the post office is a mural painted during the depression. I learned that the goverment paid unemployed artists to decorate the lobbies.

    Chime in

    That's an interesting idea, thanks. However, I wouldn't have time or the skills to put one of those together.

    Chime in

    I am in the market for a mantle clock that chimes.Vintage clocks are running high, so I looked into a new Seth Thomas. You can listen to the "chime" online: http://seththomas.com/Catalog3.cfm?product_id=MOK-7003 This is an outrage. That is not a chime. That is a clock with a cell phone...

    The Elephant Man (1980)

    I have no vested interest in trying to convince you to see it. I simply offered my opinion based on having seen the film. Regarding film or any art form being a mere replica of reality, I disagree. When it's well done, I find it makes my life richer and I gain more insights. However, that's...

    The Elephant Man (1980)

    I agree that this is a masterpiece. I'm a big Lynch fan. I sobbed when I watched it years ago. Thanks for the reminder that it should be experienced more than once. There's a lot to extract from it.

    The Elephant Man (1980)

    I respect your view, but if you watch it you'll find that the point of the film isn't to witness a freak show about Merrick, but rather an emphasis on the hypocrisy of some of the Victorians and "normal" people. If anything, society comes out looking like a freak show.
