    Elderly Parents At Home

    I have had a similar situation over the last year. My widowed mom who is 81 had a dramatic change in her health. She lived with me for a while until unfortunately I could no longer take care of her, she had periods where she would become delusional and I was afraid she would wander out of the...

    What Are You Reading

    I just finished "The Blonde in Lower Six plus 3 short novels" by Erle Stanley Gardner. I'm a huge Perry Mason fan, and never read any of his other non Mason novels before this one. I loved it, especially the descriptions of Olde San Francisco!

    Space saver bags?

    I bought a bunch of these bags a couple of years ago when I was trying to tidy up the linen closet, but they didn't work for me:( . The zipper broke on two of them, and no matter how I tried to align it back it just wouldn't work and they inflated again. I do think the idea is great though:)...

    the retro episodes of shows

    I don't know if this is the one you are thinking of, but I think in '87, there was an episode that was called "The Days Dwindle Down", that starred many of the original cast of a movie made in the late '40s called "Strange Bargain", about a man arrested and convicted of murdering his boss.

    Hi Ladies: So today I went to CVS determined to find something to perk up my fine, thin, flat hair. I like my short 'do, but hate when it falls flat. Anyway, I picked up Marc Anthony Instantly Thick for $7.99. It is great! It pumped up my hair so much. For anyone who has fine thin hair...

    Department Stores?

    When I was a kid, there was a store in Trumbull Ct., called Reads. I assume it was a chain, but what I remember most was the ladies room was called the "Ladies Lounge" and actually had a very pretty area where those who literally "shopped till they dropped" could relax in comfy chairs amidst...

    Brooklyn Bridge

    I LOVED Brooklyn Bridge!! This was one of the best shows on TV and I was so disappointed when it was taken off the air, I have never seen it in reruns anywhere and I wish they would release it on DVD.

    Vintage styles for short hair
