    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    Santa Claus, Indiana does a booming postal trade around Christmas time each year.

    Show us your Barometers

    I had one years ago. It disappeared along with my first marriage. I do still have one of these hygrometers around though. Not quite as classy, but interesting none the less.

    Terms Which Have Disappeared

    I believe that many of these terms have pretty well disappeared except among Lounge members and their ilk. A coffee shop gathering among a half dozen Loungers would be a trip in a conversational time machine.

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    Trenchfriend, I don't know about the Super-Bra, but I remember commercials for one called Wonderbra. No reports on whether it was Wonderful or just like the ones on the rack at JC Penney.

    DEATHS ; Notable Passings; The Thread to Pay Last Respects

    Sad. Beetle, Sarge, Otto and General Halftrack were highlights of my Sunday mornings for years. Miss Buxley wasn't bad either. :D

    Loungers' Pets

    V.C. Brunswick's picture reminds me of a dog we had when my sons were little. She was an Aussie/Chow rescue that liked to watch television. She would sit next to my son and watch whatever he had on. I've had quite a few dogs in my life, but most paid little attention to the TV unless there was a...

    Terms Which Have Disappeared

    I've done that myself a time or two, but as you said I'm not sure it is even doable now. The last time I heard that expression used was when a fellow repeatedly tried to steer a conversation back to a complaint that we thought had been settled. Another participant said "well, this is where we...

    Terms Which Have Disappeared

    I remember older people using the term molly coddled. Haven't heard it lately though. It is one of those terms whose meaning changed over time. It used to be used to indicate a feminine acting male, but then changed to meaning spoiled or overly protected.

    I don't know a lot about her beyond Don Draper being her ex boyfriend, but obnoxious self important twit is my first impression.

    This or That

    I've gotten through most of the Almanac episodes and I must admit, I don't think I've heard anything else like it. Variety show indeed.

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    I might be inclined to get arrested if Erin was the prosecutor. :)

    Deco Deliveries

    This thing fascinated me with the fifth wheel hitch, so I looked for it online. It's a Curtiss Aerocar from the '30s. $8500.00 would get you into one. Which would be quite a few times more than the Oldsmobubble coupe that's pulling it. Interesting.

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    I've never understood her appeal. I think if she hadn't been Mrs. Humphrey Bogart she would likely have been a moderately successful actress. I've also never thought she was one of the most beautiful women in the world either but I admit that to be purely subjective.

    Vintage neon signs

    ^^^ That appears to be a parapet. The roof is probably flat, or nearly so with either roof drains or scupper holes for water to escape. The parapet walls will be from a few inches to 30-36" above the roof. It's very attractive until the drains plug up with leaves or freeze. Then you have a...
