    How many products do you use in a Day?

    I've pared down my list, because of complaints that I am too high maintenance. I still use more than most of you. I spend a small fortune too. Sigh. Soap Shower gel (I like l'Occitane in Provence) Pre-shampoo conditioner (Aveda Sap Moss) Shampoo (I switch between overpriced brands)...

    What do you keep your makeup in at home.

    I guess I have more stuff than everyone else. I have 2 bathroom cabinets full of stuff plus a cheapo old plastic salon cart in the other room. Much of this is hair products (I'm a junkie), hair styling equipment, vintage makeup (for reference), and makeup, makeup, makeup. Most of which I...

    Famous ancestors?

    We have the same story in my family. It is not true of course. Pocahontas did have children, so they are not impossible to trace. I've seen her family tree on genealogy sites. How famous do you want? I am a descendant of the Lady Godiva of Coventry.

    What is the difference between a visonary and a dreamer?

    Now I think that we are getting into hair splitting and angels dancing on the top of a pin. An architect can visualize a great cathedral and draw up plans that will fail utterly, because you can't engineer it--a dome that is too big, walls that will collapse, etc. Is the architect in my...

    Show Us Your Pedigree! The Heritage Thread.

    I might be melungeon. My maternal grandmother's family is in the melungeon DNA project. That family claims that they came to the US via England, but after fleeing the Spanish Inquisition and that they are converted Jews. I took a genetic test and came out 6% Sub-Saharan African, which kinda...

    What is the difference between a visonary and a dreamer?

    Thanks, furthermore I would think that if you dreamed something and then made it a reality, that you would be a creator (or artist etc) rather than a visionary. The architect doesn't build the house, he plans it, and leaves the work to the contractor and builders. I view visionaries as...

    What is the difference between a visonary and a dreamer?

    The difference is more subtle than that. A dreamer merely dreams, whereas a visionary has foresight. A visionary need not realize their dream in their lifetime, it is enough to see what can (and will) happen. The act of making something happen can belong to someone else.

    A real goodhousekeeping article from 1955

    Lysol ... where?!

    For those who feel they must try Lysol, I understand a 2% solution was used. Although my great-grandmother supposedly used a sea sponge for contraception. I for one would love to see that little booklet that they sent out, especially since ignorance about basic human anatomy was totally...

    Sewing Lessons & FAQ

    A coat lining would have a small pleat for wearing ease in the middle of the back. So, it is a little wider than the coat at the top. It shouldn't be wider at the bottom though. It is only smaller than the outside of the coat in that the coat has a facing, which isn't lined, otherwise it is...

    Who should be allowed to vote?

    Voting is mandatory in some countries: http://www.idea.int/vt/compulsory_voting.cfm I think that limiting who can vote by intelligence, literacy, property status etc. is dangerous. However, mandatory voting is dangerous too, but in a very different way!

    Long Vintage Hair

    You can just go to your local supermarket or drugstore and get hairpins or alligator clips. That is all that is required (well, setting lotion too) to do pin curls. See this thread for more info: http://www.thefedoralounge.com/showthread.php?t=4254&highlight=pin+curl+tutorial I've also...
