    Why does this look wrong to me? (Cary Grant Picture)

    He probably looks less wrong than he would have had he left the plane with that huge spill stain that occurred when one of the plane did one of those hiccups and the entire contents of his cup'a did a Picasso down the front of his suit.:D Too bad his friend's fedora didn't fit ;)

    Any Science Fiction Fans?

    I, too, favor the term speculative fiction. I do, however, find it is too general for that which expands and elaborates on scientific fact in the fictional format of "what if" or "what happens when." Therefore, authors such as Isaac Asimov write science fiction, but only some of Heinlein's...

    Has anyone read this book?

    I used to spend all my time at the Borders that was on Walnut near 18th. Actually, it was more like I lived there.:) When that location closed, I tried to transfer over to the one at Broad & Chestnut, but my experiences with assistance from the sales people were negative and the background...

    The Digital Age

    More than just a notion . . . *How to say this without ruffling feathers* On the basis of the quality and popularity of the threads you have started, I thought you were a Bartender. It seems odd that you are not. Too true. The neat thing about the Digital Age is that it is a self...

    "Rosie" is flying high!

    :eusa_clap Yippee! :eusa_clap :cheers1: What a fitting tribute to all the "dizzy broads" who contributed to our winning the war! Thanks, Captain! After all that those women went through to make their contribution to our wartime effort, it's really heartwarming to know they're getting...

    Care to join my no eating after 7 p.m. (EDIT) or 3 hours before bed thread?

    I have to agree with the four weeks. Even though I had learned that it took two weeks to break a habit or form a new one, my experience with the no eating after 7:00 has proved otherwise. Come to think of it, that's what happened when I actually stopped smoking too.:eusa_doh: After the...

    Welcome to your newest Hats Bartender

    Congratulations! I generally read the Hats thread even though my ignorance makes me shy about posting. I think they call it: learning by lurking. ;) Your posts are memorable for the willingness to experiment, sincerity, and thoughtfulness that they evidenced. That's why I think you will...

    Not at all important to you ... I found a new book store!

    Books, books, wonderful books :eusa_clap New reasons to love FL just keep coming! Hanging out with you guys is like being at some kind of continuous gala or soiree. Most of my favorite used book stores here in Philadelphia have disappeared. There were so many with that indescribable...

    mug shots!

    Anyone else look at mug shots and actively imagine the person smiling and chatting amiably maybe as they make their entrance into the neighborhood bar or pay for a purchase at the Five & Dime? I find it interesting how mug shots make people look dangerous, but were we to see them on the...

    Classic leading man or dame test

    Color me stunned! Your Score: Myrna Loy You scored 23% grit, 28% wit, 28% flair, and 42% class! You are class itself, the calm, confident "perfect woman." Men turn and look at you admiringly as you walk down the street, and even your rivals have a grudging respect for you. You always know...

    Oil Cleansing Method

    Wow! Cleaning with oil!?!! Like Dashiell, I used to use Dial antibacterial bar soap on my face. I addressed the continual presence of blackheads, whiteheads, etc with astringents (awful stuff for my combo skin) and acne products too numerous to name because none of them made a bit of...

    Doctor's Bags

    Or, we can continue this process of learning from each other about what defines vintage and co-create the necessary criteria. Imagine it: we could like a Vintage Police shining the spotlight of authority as a beacon for others seeking to embrace the quality, craftmanship, and style of true...

    Period Films in Period Times

    Interesting that you put this on the table now, happyfilmluvguy. Although it is a little later than the Golden Era, I just sent out an email with a reference to George Orwell's 1984. This after having read the Hats & Privacy thread. I remember thinking as I watched the B&W version that the...

    Activists or just followers?

    However did I miss this thread?! My signature is my signature because the exact words of that verbal exchange actually happen routinely in my life! It puzzles me why people are so willing to "go along to get along" not just in the minor matters of social interactions, but in the major ones...

    oily hair....

    [huh] Wow! I hadn't thought of that! Sounds very interesting. Please tell more details: what made you think to use only conditioner; what experiences were you having before; which conditioner are you using; how long have you been using only conditioner; etc

    An unexpected flea market find!

    You go TY! The hat box alone would be awesome for such a paltry sum, but to get it with a might as well call it new Akubra and a neat pin THAT'S JUST EXCEPTIONAL! :eusa_clap BTW: if the hat feels too snug or that box gets in your way, I will be happy to help you out with either or both. :D...

    A fast food rant

    Faster, farther, and fatter: a fable Once upon a time, in the land just like this one, an automobile was built. The people were very happy. "Look at us," said the people, "we can go and come from places faster." But that was not enough for the roads were rutted and empty of care when...
