    Where is AtomicEraTom ?

    I think that there is already a thread on members that have gone missing, but I could not find it. I was wondering what is up with Tom, not seen anything from him for some time, is everything ok with him ? did I miss something ?

    Families of the Lounge

    Good point Big Man, taking on the role of the "senior" is just around the corner for me now. Scary indeed, but an honor as well in my family.

    Very short men's hair cuts in the golden years

    Hi Historyteach24, thanks for the link. Is that a firm pomade ? I have been using Murrys Hair Glo which has a nice shine, but is rather soft. I may need to try something that has more hold to it.

    Very short men's hair cuts in the golden years

    Thanks HBK, that might be an option. The wavey hair is not the only problem, it is that as I have gotten older it has also become a bit frizzy as well. The only way to really control it is with a good dose of pomade. The cut in your link looks like it gets by with just a little pomade which...

    Very short men's hair cuts in the golden years

    Hi everyone ! I am looking for a very short hair style that could have been found in the 1930's or 40's. Everything I have seen so far has been rather long on top. I have tried this style and since my hair is very wavey I have to put a great deal of pomade in it to get it to stay in place...

    What is this?

    I agree with HoosierDaddy as well. It is I think a collar bar. Were popular back in the 1980's as well if I rember correctly.

    What's something modern you won't miss when it becomes obsolete?

    I work for a large automotive parts supplier that does most of the electronic stuff you mention. You are absolutely correct, there will not be any antique vehicles in the future.

    I have a mechanical Seiko SKX009 Diver that is 17 years old and has seen a great deal wrist time without a single service. Currently running about 1 minute fast per week.

    Terms Which Have Disappeared

    The one about the car being a machine is something I have heard as well. When I was a teenager living in rural Indiana in the mid 1970's we had an old neighbor lady ( at this point in time I think that she was in her mid 80's ) who's discription of a car passing her house was " a green machine...

    I did just that on Thursday when I came home from work. My Wife just looked at me and said you are hopeless.

    Autumnal Thoughts........

    Same here in Germany as well, days are getting shorter and there is even a little chill in the air early in the morning when I go out with the Dogs. From the standpoint of the Meteorolgists Fall begins on the First of September. Not very far away.

    Ok, so some things in the golden era were not too cool...

    We lived in Northern California in the late 60's so I know what you are talking about. We then moved to a small Indiana town due to my Dad's work and it was total culture shock for my brother and I. We even had to get our hair cut before dtarting school as it did not meet the dress code !I think...
