    Would you spend a few days in the rural 1930s?

    Ah, sorry I let this drop. Will talk to Carmen about this tonite...

    If you could solve just one mystery....

    Yes, but I do understand how hard it would be to not conjecture or speculate with something so sensational and...morbid, happening in your own back yard. It's human nature to try and make sense of it, understand how it happened, and try and make yourself feel safe again can be part of it, not...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    See. Something we definitely agree on. On both counts.

    The general decline in standards today

    You're still ignoring the fact that it's not just contained here, where it couldn't in the least stretch be considered topical. But thanks for your response. Mr. JamesPowers would you like to give me the courtesy of a response?

    Very little chance, I increasingly fear.

    The general decline in standards today

    Yes, I registered your beliefs the first time. I'm looking for a consensus on civility, is it important to you or not. Hippie/Woodstock is universally understood to be a liberal influence on society. I'm "jumping on the use of hippie" because that's what's being used by you, in lieu of...

    Then I ask you directly too, mr. powers: So to be clear, you are more invested in a subject that is not even topical to this forum than making this forum more enjoyable for everyone here with very little sacrifice on your part? Even for a finite, set time? That's really the position you want to...

    Come now. You just posted about idyllic Mayberry and why can't we get along like that? I'm just asking for a little effort on your part to make a fascimile happen here. We all know very well that Hippie bashing skirts the political ban already in place. The rules of the forum are being bent if...

    If you could solve just one mystery....

    And they say small town life is quiet... (For the little it's worth, it doesn't strike me that the Dr's wife was involved, from reading that article. I've no insight into poor Pauline's head. Except *shudder*)

    Nope. From me, too. And all I saw was HH recapping events as they actually occurred. Point A to Point B etc. But let's set that well aside for a moment. Here's an idea. Let's call it an experiment. I'll even call it a challenge. If civil conversations are a real concern for all members...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    I have very fond memories of Drive-Ins as a kid. Going in our pajamas (yes, we're to blame for that trend! I just realized!); Mom would pop an entire grocery bag of popcorn for us to take - the butter staining the bottom of the bag; trying to look smaller and slightly younger as we drove in for...

    I’d say that if your fervent wish is that you could weed out and round up all those Undesirables you’ve personally identified as an insidious wrecker of good society, you may want to better identify which traditional Era values you’re actually reenacting. The variations of the Golden Rule...

    The general decline in standards today

    I’m not a fan of the hippie aesthetic or the often casual relationship to drug use that came in their wake in any way, but something that frightens me far more than the occasional whiff of patchouli or weed and the sound of some culturally appropriated prayer beads is enthusiastic de-humanizing...

    Agent Carter

    *sigh* Ratings very much need to be overhauled to reflect newer media. I don't even have cable anymore I watch on-line or with Netflix. So many kids don't even own a TV. I was chosen to be a Nielson family just a few years ago, and the questionaire was so outdated, even I laughed (no spring...

    That's not even the infamous Anonymous Internet at work. Their ugly mugs are proudly posted right along side the vile words and apparently within the same twitter feed that they use for work and/or school? That's not even vaguely a "Hey, no one will know, I can get away with it" thing. They're...

    DEATHS ; Notable Passings; The Thread to Pay Last Respects

    I expect most of you know the Jewish/religious origins of the hand gesture that went with "Live Long and Prosper" - but if not, it is on the second video on that NYT obit. I love to hear him tell that story...

    Golden Era Women's Names

    Sheeplady - maybe you should look at ebay and such for those custom items. Since "Lousie" was common back in the day, finding older items with her name might be more successful! (Tho your woodburner idea is pretty damned sweet)

    Would you spend a few days in the rural 1930s?

    St. Louis, you may have figured this out on your own by now, but a bastible pot was a big cast iron, covered pot that hung from a metal swinging arm in front of the open hearth. You'd swing it over the fire to cook (obviously) and could swing it back away from it to stir etc. I associate it with...
