    Would anyone be able to tell what year this is from?

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Hamlet (1948) w/ Lawrence Olivier. I was prepared for a very boring movie (I was knitting, so...background noise is great), but I didn't get any knitting done. What an excellent film! I see why it, and Olivier, won an Academy Award. Speaking of Shakespeare in early-ish film. Probably my...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    wasn't feeling well today, so TCM was my best friend. The Essentials played one of my faves, "The Apartment" (they're right in that Shirley McClaine is totally underrated as an actress). Then it was "How to Succeed in Business..." I'd never seen it before...and it was...interesting. I LOVE...

    how did people back in the old days stay so thin and lean?

    I don't know if you forgot to mention it or not...but non-modified hierloom seeds are still available for a variety of vegetables, fruits, and flowers. you can find them online quite easily. I never knew that you could find so many varieties of tomatoes! I wish I had room to garden, so thank God...
