    Does your given name fit you?

    My name Erin is a derivative of the Gaelic word for Ireland. Most of my family is Polish, with a British grandfather and Irish great grandmother added to the mix. I've been told that I'm the spitting image of my Irish great grandmother, so I guess it's fitting. Also, my last name is one of...

    LADIES of the LOUNGE

    Thanks for the kind words everyone. I always feel self conscious and uncomfortable when people give me compliments, I need to learn to say thank you and leave it at that. I'd better watch it though - if my head gets any bigger than it's current size 23 from reading these posts, I won't be...

    Oh Dear Me...

    Red - It's like you just described me to a T. Right down to people thinking I'm an extrovert because they see me with my close friends with whom I am comfortable and then thinking I am mean because I clam up and am very introverted around people with whom I am not familiar with. I think...

    What is it you want more than anything...?

    There seems to be quite a few of us with rose-coloured glasses. I have dreams of a similar house, except that I am sitting underneath a arbor in the garden at night. The moon is full and bright and I'm watching the moonflowers and angel's trumpets open and can smell their heady jasmine-esque...

    Where are the Great Steak Houses??????

    There is an old steak house that we went to in Las Vegas that I cannot remember the name of. It's outside of Vegas proper in the mountains surrounding (there were a lot of horse farms near). It's an old converted ranch and the decor is vintage western/ranch. The place has been there forever...

    Random craft suggestions and instructions.

    Somewhere, I have an original sock monkey pattern. I'll have to try and locate it to scan. I love sock monkeys!

    Show us your vintage home!

    On a totally un-related note - my husband's father was a boilermaker in the Philadelphia and Southern NJ area. You're probably in the same union he was in and work on some of the same jobs he did. I have a copy of the Metropolitan Cookbook as well! :) I am jeaous of your chandelier...

    Ladies, what scents do you like on your men?

    I buy my husband Burberry Touch. I love the Burberry scents - they're very complex without being overwhelming or cloying.

    The Village

    M. Knight's past 2 movies have been disappointing to me for some reason. He seems to have fallen into that "the movies have to have a twist" trap and I think his writing has started to suffer because of it. **SPOILER ALERT*** The Village was ruined for me because my husband guessed the...

    Boxing films

    I'm partial to when Bugs Bunny went into the boxing ring. Did Herman Munster ever box? I know he wrestled once. lol I actually thought of this thread the other day when I was watching the episode of the Simpsons when Homer became a boxer because he couldn't be knocked out. There's black...

    What is the Big Holiday Blockbuster Film For 2007?

    I'm looking forward to Sweeney Todd and Walk Hard: the Dewey Cox Story. I'm hoping that Tim Burton doesn't fall into the style over substance trap that he seems to be stuck in lately. Walk Hard looks like a no brainer that will be good for a laugh. But what I really want to see is the new...

    The Golden Compass

    Thank you Mr. Turner for a well written and thought out post, I especially agree with your points above. The thoughts that pass through my mind are how is this any different than the Narnia books that were written to teach children about christianity? Is the Golden Compass' agenda thought...

    Vintage eyebrow shapes

    My eyebrows are thin and sparse so I don't pluck them. Even removing one hair makes them look like a section is missing. If I try to pencil them, I tend to look like I have eyebrows drawn on with a sharpie because they are so thin. Usually I just leave them alone. These are my natural...

    Loungers' Pets

    Mary - I'm sorry to hear about the passing of your kitty friend. I once had a diabetic cat who went into insulin shock had violent seizures before he passed. I know how scary they can be and how helpless they can make you feel. *Sends big hugs Mary's way*
