    Did You Get An Allowance?

    I got a weekly allowance, but I can't even remember how much it was anymore. Definitely not $30 though. I remember it increased a little bit as I got older, and then it was kind of phased out at some point when I was a teen. I can't even remember that! I started working when I was 14, and...

    Learning a New Language Past Age 10

    What others have said about passion for and dedication to a language are very true. I took Spanish in high school and French in college, but I'm not really passionate about learning either language. With Spanish it was largely due to the fact that there were a lot of fluent Spanish speakers at...

    Why do I hate the 1970s so much?

    MASH is an excellent show. I just started watching it a few weeks ago, and I think I'm still laughing about it. The more I think about the 1970s, the more I realize I like the decade. I appreciate historical accuracy, but I think if you can produce a show with that much wit, you can be...

    Accents, whats your Favourite?????

    R is a funny letter. I think it's interesting how different accents insert or take away different letters. Before saying any place name here (in Britain), if at all possible I wait until I hear someone else say it first. For example, I would have definitely said Norwich, Norwhich, although I...

    Accents, whats your Favourite?????

    I like English English accents in general. I'm not really sure there is one particular English accent I like above all others. I think it's more bits and pieces of different accents that I like. I like the way norf/north sounds, but I'm not too big on the extra r tacked onto words (Ameriker)...

    the retro episodes of shows

    There's the X-Files episode Triangle - Mulder ends up on a ship trapped in the Bermuda triangle in the year 1939. I'd definitely say it was one of the better episodes in the show's later years.

    What's your least favorite chore?

    Laundry is my least favorite chore. I don't mind it so much when I live in a house with a washer and dryer, but I can't stand going to the laundromat. It's so time consuming and all sitting and waiting. I also don't like washing other people's dishes. I don't mind washing dishes when...

    Thought: Do we need to add a kitchen in here?

    That's so saccharine I think I got a few cavities just from reading it. I vote for a kitchen - although I do also think Feraud's suggestion to start a recipes thread is a good idea to test the waters.

    Happy Drunk/Mean Drunk

    I always wonder about that too. Same with the term "drunk." I've heard different people use it to describe different levels of intoxication. I'm a cheerful tipsy person, but I'm generally a cheerful sober person too. As I've gotten older, my silly outgoing side has retreated a bit in...

    Other vintage lifestyles

    That's exactly how I feel. There are things I like more, things I like less. But there's something in every decade that I really like. I'm mostly into 20th century now, although when I first got into history, it was the Victorian period that did it for me. I've never owned a corset or a...

    Nutrition and exercise!

    I would definitely drop dead if I stopped eating sugar! A couple years ago I bought this bellydance video. Sounds cheesy, is cheesy, but fun too. It's not a video to make you break out in a sweat or increase your heart rate, but if you can get it cheap it's worth it for the good stretch...

    WWII Photos (and Stories) of Our Loved Ones

    Luckily my grandparents were too young for WWII. My one grandpa served in the Air Force in Japan post-WWII, and my other grandpa was in the navy in the Philippines in the early 1950s. My grandma's older brother was in WWII, but I don't have any pictures. Grandpa on the right...

    First Initial, Middle Name

    I've never gone by my middle name, but I do sometimes have a laugh with my first and middle initials - M and R. When I get mail/documents that only list my last name and initials it looks like it's for a guy: MR LASTNAME. I'd like to publish something someday, if only so I could publish with...

    We're different

    "One desperate attempt after another to find something in common with someone else and then cling. “Hey, you have ten fingers, I have ten fingers, let's be friends. We'll make rules and slogans. Then if we find someone with nine fingers, we can beat the crap out of them.” - George, Dead...

    Why do I hate the 1970s so much?

    All this talk about hippies and drugs - but wasn't the 1970s also home to something of a conservative backlash against what had been developing in the late 1960s? What about the hard hat riot?

    Why do I hate the 1970s so much?

    I like the 70s. I also didn't live through the decade. I like the late 60s/early 70s folksy music. I like punk, rock, some funk and soul. Even some disco (I think there are some really fun classic disco songs. There's a high cheese level, but I think it's part of the fun.). I really like...
