    WWII Victory Parade In Hawaii

    I hadn't seen it, and I really appreciate the link. Somehow color makes things look more "modern" if you will. I kept thinking how the guys look like my friends in the military. I kept having one thought though. You guys have made it through the war. If you fall off the hood of the car while...

    Do you think you're drawn here because of past life memories....

    I use to freak out my college friends, Whenever I'd visit them at their homes, I always wanted to go check out the cemetery-Kentucky is filled with nice old ones. Lexington has an especially beautiful one that I went to as a little girl after church with my folks. Feed the koi and the birds, and...

    Luxurious Demise

    I think there are probably a dozen or more definitions of luxury. I think of it as quality and scarcity, usually combined with a high price. Which is why I don't consider things like diamonds to necessarily be luxurious. If the scarcity is artificially controlled, then it's just a triumph of...

    Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage

    You can take the gal out of the vintage, but you can't take the vintage out of the gal. :)

    The Official Beauty Box thread

    That sweet little box. All pristine and untouched. Not knowing how anxiously we are awaiting awaiting our turns at pillaging it. :)

    Your Dream Job

    I still want to be an astronaut when I grow up:). Alas, even though I can now get eye surgery to correct my vision to what NASA demands, there is still that small problem I have- absolutely no competency in higher mathematics. For some reason all of the science and engineering fields consider...

    Vintage Manicures

    I had acrylic nails (once). I don't if it would work for others, but when I wanted them off, I used sewing thread to speed up things. Once I got a bit loose at the base of the nail, I "see-sawed" thread underneath until I got the nail off. Don't know if that will work with the shellacked nails...

    The general decline in standards today

    I have a VAGUE memory of the mid-eighties. :) We didn't call it the Walk of Shame, we just chalked it up being young. The main concern amongst "my set" was, would you rather tell him to wake up and get out, or would it be better to chew you arm off. But there was some semblance of decorum even...

    Hurricane Irene Safety Concerns

    Folks, I'm hoping that this will be a whole bunch o' fuss over nothing. But speaking as a former Florida gal, if it's a contest between you and Mother Nature (who really is a child of unmarried parents), you will lose. Please forget hurricane parties and other nonsense and get the hell out of...

    Weight loss options

    I've found that by eating more "good" food, and cutting way back on the Coke and candy bars, that when I do indulge it's never to the extent I used to. Reece Cups used to be big favorite, but now they taste gloppy. The Coke only tastes good when it's icy cold, so I never finish the bottle. I let...

    Besides English, What Languages Do You Speak?

    After a year of it, I can understand Chinese a bit. But I'm hard to understand I'm told. Not many people to practice on in Tennessee. :) My written Chinese is in the toilet. QQ does help though. I am proficient in Southern. :)

    How the Past Saw the Future

    At least some of "Eve's" clothing looked somewhat wearable. And I've seen plenty of heels with cutouts - but that poor man! Ouch! That was just plain hideous. Futuristic Assyrian? I've got a fun book, "The Future that Never Was". Plenty of oddball/amusing ideas (and a few on target). Maybe I've...

    Children's Vintage Adventure and Mystery Books

    There was a "Peggy" series that I loved as a kid. I only remember "Peggy Finds the Theater" but they were great. I still have mu favorite series- The Junior Classics set that had abbreviated tales divvied up by topic. The Tales from History was my favorite. Leonidas, WWII true stories- they are...

    Do ladies really have to dress old & frumpy after a certain age...?

    All I can think of is, how my grandmother dressed in Kentucky from the 60's to the 80's- and compare it to how she dressed in Florida from 1986 to 2003. Even in pictures, her look in Kentucky was "dowdy". Steel gray hair in a bun, a house dress, and very little, if any make-up. She did always...
