    Cute Vintage-y Shoes

    Yum...These remind me of the ballroom shoes I've just acquired: http://www.rayrose.com/shop/info_49.html

    "Accouterments" Spelling Discussions

    Would one pronounce the word then, "a-cooter-mahnts"? Think I'll plop onto my "chaise lounge" and try to figure this one out...:couch2:

    The Middy Thread

    I definitely will keep an eye on him; it's definitely those shorter bits frizzing up and away from the rest, like Gene Wilder on a bad day! - the long bits are smooth and shiny as silk. Cheers! Marylebone? Where? Much as I was happy with my cut (thinning excluded), if anyone can recommend...

    The Middy Thread

    Thank you so so much crwritt and Clabbergirl; I had a funny feeling that what he was doing was the culprit, as my hair is in pretty good shape and largely split-end free, but wanted someone else's opinion to verify! Your explanation makes perfect sense to me, Clabbergirl, exactly what I thought...

    The Middy Thread

    I've found a hairstylist who, whilst not exactly following the diagram to the letter, managed to get pretty much that U shape for me. The first time he cut it I was pretty happy with it, but the last two times not so much so as I can't seem to get that flat crown with the curl at the bottom...

    Don't text during a movie at the Alamo, or else...

    I've gotten so fed up of having to hear the minutiae of strangers' lives, as a captive audience on public transportation, I actually went so far as to investigate private cell phone signal blockers; unfortunately illegal, in my understanding...(and when it's not the cell phone users, it's the...

    What's your favorite Pie ?

    Sour cherry. Or an eggless Boston Cream. (Never figured out why that's a pie and not a cake but I'll scarf it either way.)

    Bad Table Manners

    Now there's an idea I can get behind! Maybe I'll start with something a little less punitive, like sneaking in some habanero puree whilst he's not looking. I'll go to the fridge to get a drink and just wait for the screams of pain as he sneakily tucks in...! :evil: Cheers, there - I was...

    Bad Table Manners

    Well, I've got 3 bad-mannered pooches and 1 greedy boyfriend, so in my house that's not so far from the truth! He shovels it in like nobody's business, so I have from time to time been reduced to growling like Belker in Hill Street Blues when he starts eyeballing my plate... I have a manners...

    Forbidden items in my home...

    I guess the jewelry crafted by Albert DeSalvo whilst incarcerated would be out...:) Speaking of serial killers, I would never have any kind of "trophy" that was once alive in my house - no heads, antlers, fur...

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

    Amen, Brother! Can I add over-paid, over-adulated, over media-exposed sports "personalities" to that?

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

    I wouldn't bother to go and see a 3-D film, unless they screened House of Wax or of that ilk somewhere, but I would have loved to be a part of the William Castle experience - Emergo, Percepto, Illusion-O...neat-o! Digimation or CGI. I won't miss that stuff, and hope against hope that both...

    Ingrid Bergman Dress Destroyed - Vogue shows it off

    And I can't quite understand why people that do this kind of thing are called designers. Sartorial scavengers seems more appropriate. Fair dos if those 11 dresses had say, 11 usable bits with the rest ready for the knackers yard, but otherwise...ugh!

    Modern Products with Vintage Style Packaging

    Thanks gentlemen - good to know that it wasn't all just a fancy of mine.

    Modern Products with Vintage Style Packaging

    Does anyone know why that is? Bevvies in glass always seem to taste better to me too. I always assumed it was psychological, for the same reason that I dislike drinking out of plastic glasses/cups.

    Current Day Distractions - Teens Suffer From "Facebook Depresssion"

    And then the honeymoon will be spent "sexting"...(sorry to be crude, but nothing would surprise me anymore). I keep my phone, a decidedly antediluvian model to be sure but who cares 'cause it functions, in my purse, on silent. I check it only if I'm alone and not otherwise engaged, usually on...

    to-night and to-morrow

    Cheers, Benzadmiral and LizzieMaine. I've always liked the look of these words hyphenated.

    to-night and to-morrow

    I hope I've put this into the correct forum, Bartenders. I've seen both these words frequently hyphenated in older books and magazines, and would like to know if anyone knows when this form of these words fell into disuse. Thanks!

    Is chivalry dead?

    You are so right; I wouldn't want to contribute to the ugliness in the world, there's enough of that. I just hope when I become a "Golden Girl" that there will be some courtesy left (if not, I'm sure my "Golden Girl" will morph into "Grumpy Old Woman" post haste!) By the way, welcome to the...

    Pale or Tan?

    I had no idea about that, but it does so make sense knowing how much the French adored her. And I imagine only in France could that have happened, as there was that acceptance of blacks at that time as actually worthy of being emulated.
