    Ladies, what are you doing this evening?

    Great! I'm going to sneak it in somehow this week, before any spoilage occurs. Tonight I'm about to kilz and paint the interior of a salvaged cabinet and a dresser that we are going to attach to each other/stack (instant "antique" china cabinet!) for our front porch to hold some dishes etc that...

    Ladies, what are you doing this evening?

    Ouch. I hate nausea. I prefer out right pain, of nearly any degree, to nausea. For future reference, everyone: ginger tea can help sooth a flippy stomach (if you can keep anything down!).

    102 year old dancer sees herself on film

    The first link wouldn't embed properly and neither does this one. [huh] But here's the link to go directly to YT - hopefully that will work for you: Excuse our technical difficulties.

    102 year old dancer sees herself on film

    "Alice Barker was a chorus line dancer during the Harlem Renaissance of the the 1930s and 40s. She danced at clubs such as The Apollo, Cotton Club, and Zanzibar Club, with legends including Frank Sinatra, Gene Kelly, and Bill "Bojangles" Robinson." https://youtu.be/bktozJWbLQg Amazing. I wish...

    Harbingers of Spring

    Forsythia in bloom, daffodils up, grass actually growing not just greening (sadly, first lawn mower motor heard today too), lilac and bridal wreath and rose bushes etc all budding their leaves. *sigh* I'm going back outside and work in the garden as much as I can this sunny weekend.

    Time travel shopping trip

    It's funny, even though you didn't limit location, I find myself wanting to stick to the area and see the known sites when they were in their prime: Take a train out of the Cincinnati Union Terminal. Shop downtown Lazarus department store in Columbus; eat at their diner (mac n cheese sounds...

    Ladies, what are you doing this evening?

    Ah, if only I could give my 27 year old self a good talking to... Silly girl. (Happy bday to your friend, Lizzie)

    Ladies, what are you doing this evening?

    :nod: Yes, please! I'm gearing myself up to face the madding crowd and go grocery shopping tonight. We just baked and ate nearly the last bit of produce in the fridge (gold and red beets - yum), and we need more supplies! And tomorrow is supposed to be near 70 (!) and I don't want to spend...

    When the mud ratio is finally higher than the ice? (I'll still take it)

    Toiletries of the Golden Era

    Glad to help. The tallow has also gotten raves for helping with eczema or baby rashes - though I've no direct experience there.

    Toiletries of the Golden Era

    http://www.vintagetradition.com/ I recommend using the scented varieties. The unscented does have a slight, vaguely "beefy" smell to it otherwise (But hey, natural!). The essential oils easily mask it and are quite pleasant (unless you're super sensitive to even those of course, and need to...

    Toiletries of the Golden Era

    I've no experience with Merle Norman, but have used Thayer's Witch Hazel for several years to help clean my face before bedtime. I noticed that Thayer's ingredients list can get more complicated depending on the scent/variety it is, so have stuck with Original or Lavender. Even so, it was drying...

    Favorite Era Photograph

    I'm curious, what are your favorite photographs from the era? And why? Why do you keep returning to it again and again? Why do you perhaps have a dog-eared copy of it pinned to your board or on your fridge? What does it mean to you? I couldn't just pick one. The first is here, to put it...

    Offering Free Candid Photos of WW2 Japan

    We’ve inherited some candid photos from my In-laws of post-surrender Japan. We’ve culled out the one of my Father-in-Law to keep, but that leaves a good deal left over. I absolutely hate throwing away old photos, so I refuse to do that – but figure there might be a WW2 aficionado who might...

    If you could solve just one mystery....

    What the Hell?!?! :eek: That's extremely weird and disturbing. WHY did he pick that house? I still want to know! How did your Grandma's spidey sense kick in when it did? Yes, I have to say, that's really creeping me out right now. Sounds like a Man in Black. ;) Too bad we have many...

    The general decline in standards today

    Lizzie publicly addressed a public action on your part, DY. Anyway, now I'm late for work, karma in action? I trust civilization will survive our differences here...

    The general decline in standards today

    If you were brave enough to go back through this thread to my first statement about this, I acknowledged my own problems with hippie culture and its aftereffects. If the 60s movement was referenced without all the scum sucking rhetoric, like adult people trying to share a pov and not just grind...

    Standards are not censorship. And they have the right to have them. We're all guests here.

    The general decline in standards today

    Cliff notes: I'm looking for some civility and respect between members (which can require compromise). And I'm hoping that gleefully trashing groups of real human people (yes, despite the rhetoric otherwise) in the ruse of making some profound point about society is not actually the cultural...
