    Our own vintage town

    I'm the one who grew the thorn vines over the windows and who put the fear of God into the kids who tried to cut across my garden. I'll probably get a creepy dog that howls. The Cat Lady would be my sister! (She'd like that) and a haunted Victorian can support more than one crazy old lady.

    I'm glad you're okay with that option, james, because Option C was to own the town creepy Victorian house and be the lady all the neighborhood kids think is a witch! :)

    Our own vintage town

    Aw, all right. I'll just have an orchard and some beehives and print up those classic fruit-crate labels. Hey, who owns the printing press?

    Michael Jackson Dead at age 50

    Many people in Hollywood/the music industry could teach that lesson but I'm at a total loss for how Michael Jackson qualifies? [huh]

    Our own vintage town

    I still want a little farm with a roadside stand where I can sell fancy potted roses and plain homegrown pickled tomatoes side-by-side. And maybe if you drop by real polite, some homemade booze, too. lol

    Oysters

    Thank you, everyone! That question has plagued me for a long time. I knew they counted as soul food... it went with cornbread in my mind. And I definitely DO eat cornbread. Alas, it looks like the chitlins and I shall never be better acquainted. I have only seen them fried (up here in...

    Oysters

    Here's something off-topic but I must know: What exactly is a chitlin? Is it a pork product or a collard-like green? I don't eat pork AND I don't know what chitlins are but I don't know if those are connected except in my head. I don't eat oysters either, I should show myself out of this...

    Do you go Commando?

    Heh I always wear a bra out of the house and usually around the house, and sometimes to sleep in... just not the bottoms. That's... half-commando, I guess? Much more comfy than reversing halves, for me. Or not wearing a bra, which is rather awkward generally.

    "Here's looking at you, kid" and what might get you slapped

    A lot of old gentlemen (70+, often in fedoras) around here will casually call me upon meeting me on the street, things like babygirl. ("Babygirl, is this the stop for the 77?" etc.) Now, I don't mind being called babygirl by an old gentleman, but I still think its pretty funny. I think its a...

    Woodstock?

    My parents moved to Maine in the '70s and lived in a non-mobile schoolbus with 7 cats and a dog. Hippies, though as my dad clarified "I had a job!" That's why I was born in Maine, though I can't say I'm a local, as I moved away at a whole 6 mos. of age. My parents would still do the...

    What Did You Drink Last Night?

    No, I'm not, but I'm intrigued. An online community I take it? I'm just sort of a newbie and trying things out. Oh, word of, well, not warning really for anyone with a normal tolerance but I'm a lightweight: the Wild Blue is 8% alcohol which the buddy who gave it to me did not tell me until...

    What Did You Drink Last Night?

    It was sort of hoppy but in a light smooth way. It was not light tasting as in watery, it was just really summery and not thick-feeling. It was good with what I was eating, which was turkey and corn chips: the salt of the corn chips brought out the flavour of the beer which was sort of doing a...

    Maxi Dresses

    I may get one and have it hemmed. Or I may get a "tea-length" standard sundress in an empire cut and wear that, it will fall longer on me. I am five foot even so I suspect a regular off the rack unhemmed maxi will not look cute on me, more's the pity, because some of the designs are pretty.

    Question about the late 1960s-mid 1970s

    I think that might be regional, too, Lizzie: that Yankee frugality... or a more rural mindset... here people who spend their whole lives scratchin' can be running up astonishing costs on VITAL ISSUES OF SURVIVAL... like hair products. Things hipsters can revel in as "authentic" or...

    What Did You Drink Last Night?

    Tonight I had a Sam Adams summer lager, which is lemon and "grains of paradise" whatever those are, flavoured. A nice light taste and it went well with the turkey hoagie I had for dinner.

    bumpits

    Too funny, Blondie. My Australian fiance won't stop going "heh, heh, bumpit." Boys! I like the bumpit because with my coarse hair, I get a tremendous amount of volume with NO hairspray or product! None! I could probably do a beehive, if I knew how, with NO stickiness. I hate putting a hand to...
