A victory for decorum.
This sounds pretty reasonable. If clothing is distracting, or otherwise missing, it's inappropriate. In a world made of humans, certain subjective decisions will land on a human's shoulders, and I think it's safe to say a bailiff and judge can be trusted with said decisions. Besides, as long...- Undertow

Sure, if you have anywhere from $7k-$10k per acre. If your pocketbook is a little thin, you could always move to a small town adjoining some farm fields - 'course, you're going to have to fight off the meth addicted zombies and small town bigots. Or if you'd rather live in relative peace, you...- Undertow

Before I clicked the submit button, I had replaced "old vinyl" with vinyl. Wish I had left that in there! lol Modern artists never stopped printing on vinyl, I think it just took a nose dive for some time. I know there are a number of late-80's Nirvana SubPop vinyls in circulation that I...- Undertow

If anything this flux is bad news for the fans of those above mentioned media, except perhaps the beer. Prices for vinyl records and clothing are only going to increase with the demand - often pricing us eager collectors out of the market. However, once this trend (and it is nothing more than...- Undertow

Picnic food ideas
You are certainly giving this some thought. I can tell you are trying for period-correct. I applaud your efforts! Unfortunately, I don't have enough background in these things. I could only suggest something like cheese sandwiches, fruit, maybe biscuits. You could substitute cheese sandwiches...- Undertow

Huh? What'd you say? Just kidding, I was trying out my new fake hearing aids. How do I look?

What do they want? What did they want in the Golden era?
Hahaha, oh dear lord, that sounds terrifying! I would be a miserable failure in Sweden. If it weren't for the music and food...and climate...and people...and archit...Okay I love Sweden, but there's no way I'd do well in those situations. I'd get drunk, make a fool of myself, end up under a...- Undertow

Hats in the rain, do they bleed so to speak?
You, my friend, should try the search function. I only say that because there are at least two dozen threads on this very topic. Unfortunately, it would seem SOME modern Stetsons have this issue, and inexplicably others don't. I've had two Stetsons that did this, and a handful that haven't... -

I thought you had a woman in your avatar at one point. Of course, my memory is best served cold and runny, so I have no clue if it was yours or another. But I'd always thought you were a lady based on your avatar. Or wait...maybe that was someone else's... :(- Undertow

Is It More Difficult For You to Dress "Vintage" in the Summertime?
Oh to have cold, rainy days every day...my life would be whole. Iowa gets hot, humid and nasty. Vintage goes right out the window for me. Wool is not an option, aside from my wool cap (wool doesn't take on odors as easily, thus no sweat stink). I don't have AC, and I haven't used AC in...- Undertow

What do they want? What did they want in the Golden era?
I think that is a problem. I think older generations took it for granted that you were expected to tough out the hard stuff. Life expectancy was varied - it wasw common for women to die during childbirth and men to die of various work related illnesses. That's not to mention the perpetual wars...- Undertow

Hapsters ride bikes because it's cheaper than gas, not because "old people do it". Hapsters wear stylish hats to block the sun, not to emulate a picture they once saw in an advertisement for deodorant. Hapsters enjoy playing original Nintendo because it's more difficult than modern games, and...- Undertow

What do they want? What did they want in the Golden era?
I agree, and that's where this great human experiment gets fuzzy. In a natural world, relationships would be some of the most complex and difficult situations humans could hope to understand. In this world full of synthetic oil-slicked BS, you can never be sure if you're unhappy, or if you...- Undertow

What do they want? What did they want in the Golden era?
There are SO many choices, and one MUST exhaust one's appetite before "settling" on a final choice. Another factor is this idea that there is something wrong with anyone who is not at least trying to pursue happiness. In the era, people weren't obsessed with "being happy". Now, men and women...- Undertow

The Abbreviation “OMG” Is Way Older Than We Thought
Interesting article. I don't think it's too hard to imagine seeing OMG used prior to our modern times. It's a very simple acronym for a common expression. Now a strange one we use is OK (which has since taken the spelling "okay"). OK was an abbreviation for Oll Korrect, part of a fad for...- Undertow
