    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    I watched No Down Payment this afternoon on YouTube. I agree it has innumerable flaws and isn't a very good movie, but it's a scathing indictment of the mindset portrayed and the people who tirelessly attempt to manipulate us into thinking we deserve this, that or the other and will be happy...

    Show us your vintage home!

    I am the keeper of those old stories in my family. I can tell many stories about people who were gone long before my time. It makes me sad sometimes that most of my kin has little interest in keeping them alive. There are a few exceptions, and I do what I can with what I have. Most of that...

    Bad Movie Descriptions of the Golden Era

    It was bad. By describing them all so poorly they camouflaged the really bad ones. You had to tune in to all of them and sort them as you went. Or something.

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    There needs to be enforced rules posted at checkout counters everywhere. 1.Have your payment method ready 2. Get your loyalty card out now. 3. If you have coupons have them sorted and ready to present to the checker. 4. If your coupon is rejected get over it and move out of the way. 5. Don't be...

    DEATHS ; Notable Passings; The Thread to Pay Last Respects

    Joan Collins was beautiful. My favorite comment about her came from Joan herself. When asked what others most common comment about her was she replied "Oh Joan, Shocking girl!" It bothered her not at all, so she and Ellison had that in common.

    The "Great Race" 2018 (Pic Heavy)

    The race passed through/stopped here a few years ago. It is a lot of fun to watch. Eclectic is not enough to describe the vehicles you will see.

    The little man in the Esso uniform was probably proud as he could be. :D

    Can a vintage car still be driven as a daily driver?

    Unfortunately, the number of mechanics in dealer service who have ever seen a breaker point ignition and an intake manifold with a carburetor on it is approaching zero very quickly. It is becoming a lost art.

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    Stores that force you to enter on the left. Here at least, we were trained from kindergarten on to walk down the hallway on the right, enter or exit double doors on the right, etc. A few years ago I noticed new stores were reversing that ingrained system and setting up traffic flow to enter/exit...

    Old gas stations

    I agree with your buddy, but I think that was only one element in the slow motion train wreck that Sears has been in. Now the vultures are no longer circling, but have landed and began eating the carcass while it was gasping its last.

    Show us your vintage home!

    We have a few of those here that came with the house. The labels are in decent shape on a couple. Lizzie advised me to attach the loose parts of the label with mucilage which worked perfectly. I did find that mucilage is not as easily found as it once was, but I did find a bottle. As far as...

    Vintage neon signs

    I don't really want to think about how I can remember street scenes like this with a little newer cars parked along the curb. It doesn't seem like that long ago.

    Old gas stations

    I'd like to think that when they're all gone people will be sorry, but I really don't believe it. New, shiny, high tech, state of the art short life cycle crap is obviously the desire of the majority. They can have it.

    My father's generic name for any motorized vehicle was Bessie.

    Vintage neon signs

    The American pool hall is an institution that should have been preserved. Where else is a young man supposed to learn most of life's important lessons?

    Russian Sailor Shirts

    Why does this sound like a Monty Python skit idea?

    Vintage neon signs

    I didn't know frappes existed then. I'm still not sure exactly what they are. Interpretations seem to vary.

    The Fedora Lounge 4.0

    I have been getting a fake Google ad claiming my phone is infested with 7 viruses. All I need do is click and they will fix them for me. Only happens on this site so far.
