    A Dying Breed During a Terribly Sad Time

    Sorry to take a detour, but personally I am always--and feel I have every right to be--exceptionally offended by the casual use of the "N" word these days. There's a reason why I usually end up changing the channel when Dave Chappelle is on. There's a definite context within that word and it...

    Dressing for dinner?

    I'm glad that I read that--even if a few parts made me cringe out of embarrassment. Last December I was invited by my grandmother to see the Radio City Christmas Spectacular at the Fox Theatre (the theatre and show each look splendid by the way) and arrived at her house in a dress and...

    Happy Birthday...

    Call me shameless but now I want to read whatever it is you read darling. Where did this lovely information come from--and strangely enough it doesn't even revolt me. Maybe it's because it's Mr. Grant and I seem to instantly forgive him his tresspasses every time. L_H

    Happy Birthday...

    Wow, I can't believe I missed this thread. Happy Belated Birthday dear Sir! *reads the scintillating stuff above* Oh my. L_H

    Comcast Swing Music Channel

    We have Dish network which broadcasts Sirius radio. I'm pretty satisfied with their song selections myself as well as the channel options. L_H

    Vintage mens Bathing Suits and Swim Trunks

    Does anyone know a good proprietor of classic/vintage bathing suits, particularly those of the 30s/early 40s persuasion for either sex? While I have been able to locate at least one classic women's suit (I don't know about the quality) I have never been able to find any belted men's trunks or...

    The decline of good parenting...

    I essentially love everything Senator Jack had to say. Humorous, worrisome but dead on. Oh, and this is coming from a nineteen year old who feels the exact same way. L_H

    Historic Homes in Toledo

    I was searching for New Year's Cards when I stumbled upon this collection. A lot of these pictures are from the twenties or so and they are absolutely stunning. It's also nice to see an apartment house without a giant parking lot running up to it. And actual grass as well. I suppose my...

    Paris Hilton: The Death of America

    A friend of mine and I were actually having just this kind of conversation some months ago (sometime over the summer) and around that time I found that when Mr. Hilton died, who ironically went by the same nickname as his future great-niece, Nicky, he refused to leave his family a dime. They of...

    Historians: Past Eras Were Worse Than Now

    Headlines posted in street corner window of newspaper office, Brockton, Massachusetts, December 1940 Boy building model plane, Robstown, Texas, January 1942 Stores near corner of Broome St. and Baruch Place, Lower East Side. New York City, September 27, 1941 L_H

    Historians: Past Eras Were Worse Than Now

    To aid with pictures of daily life that are somewhat unimaginable now I'll post these, they are from the Charles Cushman collection at the Indiana University internet archives and others are from the Library of Congress online collection, hope I'm not stepping on any government toes and others...

    1930s comic strips

    Now you've made me wonder what happens to Scorchy and the guys' planes... And I like that nickname... "Fat." Good stuff. Plain, simple and a funny aside with the guys. L_H

    The Third Man on TCM

    I started watching it but because I had a hard time figuring out what was going on I just went in and finished my potato pancakes and watched something else but I don't remember what... I'm a little ashamed to read that now but I was really lost. L_H

    Illinois education board goes crazy ...

    I guess I understand where the milk problem comes in as a half glass of whole milk has the equivalent of fat found in twelve strips of bacon. But I don't think it should be banned, that's ridiculous. Kids aren't getting enough calcium as it is. They should be promoting orange juice and milk...

    Underwoods and other fun!

    They sell great, old, mint--though not as cheap--typewriters at mytypewriter. I want the Corona featured in the Workhorse feature myself. They even have ribbons and other necessities. L_H

    Classic Holiday Foods

    That's how my grandmother does it, so it's also funny that now that I think of it, I never knew it was a vintage act. I never saw anything funny about it. I personally love cranberry sauce and dressing, but at this time in my life I'm a vegetarian so I won't be able to have any for a few...

    Old vs New

    I've delved pretty deeply into photographs of my city in it's bygone glory and then bitterly complained to myself about how much of it has been abandoned and/or torn down... Ech. L_H

    Mobster in the trunk

    I too got a little laugh and am now thinking "With a name like Smuckers it has to be good." L_H

    Old vs New

    That reminds me of that very funny commercial asking "What ever happened to customer service?" I always get a good laugh when it's on. L_H

    Old vs New

    Oh my gosh that's so perfectly how I feel. That's the second time that's happened tonight. Especially with your sentiments about family life. If a woman actually wants to stay home she's ungrateful for everything that the feminists of the late sixties and seventies fought for. But in...
