    What's your favorite candy?

    I got home tonight and found Soren's Red Cross Parcel in the mail. Now I need the Red Cross. lol As you can see only one packet is open. It's all I've tried in the fifteen minutes I've been home. What do I think? Well, I can see why these wouldn't be allowed in the US.: they are...

    Pencils

    Sorry About the Fuzz . . . . . . but the cat was sleeping on the computer desk. In fact, I'm typing around him now. :D Very nice, Lady Day. I like the wood handle. :) This one has been in the family for years. Lee

    Pencils

    Lietz sharpener (they're called "lead pointers"?) and Pickett lead holder. I took a semester of drafting in my freshman year in high school (1977). The instructor must have been in the market for a new set-up, because at the end of the semester he gave these to me. His name and SS# are etched...

    Show us your Thrift and/or yard sale finds

    Everything I found. :) Broken, dented and cracked, but the knob and the handle made it worth ten dollars to me. That's a pump in the handle. Maybe someone knows why it's there? Clayton and Lambert, Detriot Michigan. Five dollars each for everything else. A Minolta 7s 35mm rangefinder...

    Show us your Thrift and/or yard sale finds

    Found these at the swap meet, today. I hadn't intended to go, but my brother came back from there and gave me the film reel in this post. We went back and I found the rest. Thirty dollars for everything I bought. My brother wouldn't disclose what he'd paid for this reel of film. This is an...

    A contest of contests

    My pleasure, Miss VB. "If you ever have a 'Tell Your Best or Worst Cooking Stories' contest, I have a couple winners from when my father worked in the bakery of the downtown Los Angeles Newberry's back in the '50s. One involves lemon merinque pies without sugar and the other is a tragicomic...

    Pencils

    I saw these very pencils at an art shop in Huntington Beach, a few weeks ago. They're expensive in American dollars, too. :D But, they are very beautiful. I wanted them! Lee

    MEN of the LOUNGE

    Numbers add up again! Oh goodness! Here it goes again! I once knew seven people who all had their birthdays on those three days. :eek: One of them I still know, my younger brother, whose birthday is the fourteenth. Lee

    My Father's H.O. Scale Trains.

    DB. If those are diesel, and my father has some, then they'd be in the garage and haven't been sorted through, yet. Today's lot was less than half of my father's collection, but almost all of his brass locomotives. There are probably about fifty plastic model kits, most of them diesel, and a few...

    Scenes That Haven't Happened or A Rhetorical Thread.

    While at work a couple days ago, I got to thinking through a scene that has never happened, and who knows if it ever will. Actually, thinking through scenes that have never happened is something I do on a fairly regular basis. (I don't often have a very busy schedule at work.) This latest scene...

    My Father's H.O. Scale Trains.

    Thank you, Brad. I hadn't realized the 268 prototype was from that far back. Thank you for the article. That's one of the things I like about the Fedora Lounge: There's always someone with new information regardig just about any topic. :) My father was also self-taught, Dominic. Same with...

    My Father's H.O. Scale Trains.

    His seven children are dividing it amongst themselves. So, they're staying in the family. That's what we did today. We're all old enough to know their value and delicate nature, so we're choosing the ones we each want and keeping them in his memory. We have all agreed that, if one needs cash and...

    My Father's H.O. Scale Trains.

    Wow, Dominic! You're a veritable encyclopedia of locomotive information! You'd've given my father a run for the money, had you two been in a train spotting contest. :) Upon looking back, I see that I'd posted the one that gave you trouble (picture number two in the second post) a second...

    My Father's H.O. Scale Trains.

    Another CML. Note the push rods, universal joints and drive shafts just below the cabin. There's another one in an above post. Somehow, I'd missed that this was a second CML labeled locomotive. My father had four of these, all with different 2400 numbers, and pictures of three real ones...
