    The Fedora Lounge: The crash, The move and The Aftermath

    The only thing that's affecting me is the tiresome bellyaching.:( I don't get it. we have been told that we are returning to something closer to the original intent of this forum, yet we have been allowed to keep "some" of the non-vintage related threads.isn't that better than none at all?

    The Ration Book Diet

    I wondered.We drank powdered milk for much of my early years. but that was because We lived in an extremely remote area and sometimes it would be weeks before we could get fresh food again.But i have never thought to ask my mother what her family used.

    What is your favorite retro toy?

    The first thing that comes to mind is my etch-a-Sketch.Spent hours and hours on that baby. but i also had an Uncle who was actually just 3 years older and he had the most amazing G.I.Joe set.I was such a tomboy, but of course there's no way my mother would have ever let me own my own set.I used...

    The Fedora Lounge: The crash, The move and The Aftermath

    Since the crash, i have read a few posts from folks who are a bit sad to see some of the old threads go.And as I know that sometimes we only hear one side of things, i would like to add my 2 cents. for what it's worth.I enjoyed some of the old threads too that weren't exactly "vintage"...

    They Say Em' From the Golden Era - Slang & Memorable Phrases

    lol "what in tarnation!" was one my dad used alot. at least around us. I suspect outside of the house he might have used phrases that were a a tad less benign.I LOVE saying "Swell", and also use the word "dishy" alot...when i encounter someone that is "dishy" that is;)

    Trouble Connecting to the Lounge?

    I tried this,and it didn't work, but maybe i didn't really know what i was doing.;) I tried refreshing the page.nothing. I started trying about 2 hours ago and just got on now.
