    Loungers' Pets

    I grew up with a twenty gallon tank in the hall, stocked with everything from guppies to angelfish, and two larger tanks (150 and 200 gallons) filled with koi in the back yard. Fish are pets. :) Lee ______________________ Not to mention the occasional won-at-the-carnival goldfish.

    I Haven't Seen It in a Long Time

    I'm watching Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid. It hasn't been years, but it's certainly been months. I like identifying the actors, actresses and movies from the golden era, and seeing how the old movies have been smoothly blended in. Since joining the Fedora Lounge, I can identify more of them. :D...

    Vintage Phones

    When I was growing up in La Puente, CA, our exchange was EDgewood 3-3658. The area code has changed a couple times, and the number was changed once. Exactly the phone we had when I was a kid. I wonder if my mother still has it. Hmm . . . Remind me to keep my sister away from you. She has...

    Show us your cigarette lighters and such!

    Me too, Nick! :D I'm don't remember where I got the one on the left, as I don't know anyone who smokes a pipe, and neither do I smoke. I found the black one in a rental truck. My father worked for Milwaukee tools. The stamped "Zippo" on the bottom is script, rather than block lettering...

    I Haven't Seen It in a Long Time

    My entry; NOW SHOWING: CROSS MY HEART I absolutely hated that movie! Two people spend an entire evening arguing and lying to each other. The ending, of course, was completely predictable. Back on topic: There are many, many movies I need to see again. And all of them are in my DVD...

    fatwoul, I also started with 35mm. (Thank goodness I never bought that disc camera I originally wanted! :D) My first one was a Pentax ME Super. I liked it a lot and was going to use Pentax exclusively, but then I got a Nikon FE2. I did a lot of studio work with both (I posted some earlier in...

    Thank you for the information on your photos. Quite helpful. :) I have a feeling I saw where the screwdriver needed to go when I was looking at it. But I may be wrong. :D I used an RB67 in college a few times, and I liked it. A very nice camera. I also once had a opportunity to use a...

    Thoughts on ....."My Space".

    Unless you've been in marching band, you don't know what it means to be uncool. Been there, done that . . . wore the tall, fuzzy hat. Lee ______________________ And still suffereing the consequences. lol

    Let's Retire these Cliches

    I agree. I hate when someone tells me to have a good day and I come back with, "You too." I grimmace inside. What I want to say is, "And a good day to you, too." But, I'm in the habit of saying the former. [huh] Lee ______________________ That's just one of many cliche's I'd like to...
