Did the Rules of Etiquette Provide a Greater Sense of Safety For Women?
Your overall point about "your hometown" (which is my hometown, too) is pretty accurate, though the place is not totally dead-They still have Christmas parades that run long enough that you start thinking "ok, that's enough, lets get to Santa!" , still at night, and, believe or not recently have...- Obob

Tongue And Groove Floor
Keep Em' Comin'! Thanks folks; this is all really useful. The business about shrinkage; I was planning to have a local millshop cut the flooring; I'd better make sure they've got means to dry the wood, or else this is gonna be a much longer term venture (not that it isn't already; we've been...- Obob

Tongue And Groove Floor
Great Response! Thanks Straighteight, that's just the kind of response I'm hoping to get here. Lemme ask you this: What grit of sandpaper do you use when you sand the poly/varnish type coatings? I've known this is a good thing to do, but when I've refinished floors before, I've always been...- Obob

Tongue And Groove Floor
Has anyone here ever installed or helped install a tongue and groove hardwood floor? I'm planning to do one in an attic room in my mom's house; I want to do it the more old-fashioned way, where you have to use a nailer, and then you stain and varnish, and wax (love that Johnson's Wax shine!)...- Obob

Show us your Thrift and/or yard sale finds
Oh Yeah! Oh yeah! Except that my mom's actually less inclined to get rid of stuff than am I. I once and awhile get on a kick that some decluttering needs to be done; it falls on deaf ears! Since I've been hanging around message boards like this one, and I've seen that there are other...- Obob

Smart Move During the redo of my mom's downstairs bath, we had a similar mirror. I thought it should be replaced, because it wasn't "retro" enough. My mom thought otherwise, and we did it her way. The bath is what I'd call a 30's/40's style, kinda "modern" for the era. One of the websites...- Obob

Just 12 Hmmm...just 12...yeah, that is gonna be an issue (I guess it's not really as simple as picking a dozen vintage Chevy's). As for the playing card, deal me in! Edward, I guess you'll be the real "queen" in the deck...;) Obob- Obob

Canning and preserving...
More Canning Recollections Oh yeah, my mom, when she did substantial canning, used a pretty good sized, heavy duty pressure canner. Now, my paternal grandmother...heh. She'd can green beans using a washtub over an open fire; you could can a lot of produce that way, but it really is rather...- Obob

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
A Remake I just watched for the first time, A Star Is Born, from 1954, with Judy Garland, James Mason, Jack Carson, Charles Bickford and Tommy Noonan. Frankly, I liked the '37 version considerably better. It was much more succinct in it's storytelling. Whatever the first version could...- Obob

Canning and preserving...
Further Word From Mom Well, Real Swell Gal, I just asked my mom about this subject. What she recalls is that she only "thought out loud" about actually doing the canning in the dishwasher. She actually cooked the jelly on the stove, and washed the jars in the dishwasher. Hot jelly+ hot jars+...- Obob

Ebay shoppers and buyers survey.
Not Pollworthy Yet, But... I've only had one genuinely lousy experience on Ebay, as either a seller or buyer, and that was with one of those mega-booksellers who automatically mirrors whatever feedback you send them. You get less than positive feedback just because you gave it; the fact that...- Obob

Canning and preserving...
Jelly Grapes When my mom was a kid/teenager (50's) there was a community cannery; people brought in their produce, even meat, and, for a small fee per can, got it canned, literally in metal cans. When we moved into this place, 1990, there was a jelly grape arbor out back. My mom suggested...- Obob
