    1940's Barkcloth Drapes

    While on vacation on Kauai I found this set of drapes. Two smallish-sized panels but they will be a good start to setting up a new home in Melbourne soon. They were part of a larger hoard that I could not hope to afford, though I would have bought the lot if I could...

    New book claims Hitler and Eva Braun fled Berlin and died (divorced) of old age in Ar

    I saw him the other day. I think he got thrown out of a nearby bar when they got sick of him demanding that they give him beer. As far as the OP goes, how do the R-Tards who run the publishing houses get the money to burn to publish this crap-ola? Or is there just a lot of money in B.S...

    TRYING to spend my money locally!

    Craigslist is an option. Or the local classifieds. I had a yard sale the other day - didn't sell anything but met some nice peeps. I was blowing on my sax and that drew a few. The only serious buy offer was for my Conn 30M. Offer denied.

    "The Girls In The Band"

    I Saw this wonderful documentary and met the film maker Judy Chaikin. Anybody who has a love for jazz and jazz history should make it a priority to see this film. It tells the story of female jazz artists, their troubles and triumphs, their achievements and obstacles. Chaikin has woven a...

    Article: "Should A Kindergartner Really Be Listening To Nicki Minaj?"

    Some years ago, when my kid brother was in his pre-teen and early teen years, he used to chum around with a kid whose parents were swingers. Full-on wife-swappers; my bro actually walked in on an orgy in their living room once. The daughter of the family was about 14 or so when he (my brother)...

    First Dates

    Well, if it's a really crappy movie and she starts mocking it 10 minutes in, she will most definitely be asked for a second date. Clearly audible snorts of derisive laughter aimed at ridiculous plot lines, bad acting and screenwriting, followed by a suggestion to ditch the movie and go catch a...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Nicholas Ray's On Dangerous Ground. What can I say? Wow. Ida Lupino was fantastic - rumor persists that she directed part of it, which she vehemently denied. A woman far, far ahead of her time. If she was around nowadays, she'd be hoisting Oscars for directing, probably. What a shame.

    Back to topic. I think a movie is a bad idea. Conversation nearly impossible.

    First Dates

    ^ and ^^ Like that line from "Wild At Heart": "Are you going to provide me with an opportunity to prove my love to my girl, or are you gonna save yourself some trouble, step up like a gentleman, and apologize to her?" If I don't know the girl, I'm sorry, but I'm not jumping in - I've seen a...

    "Sweet & Hot"

    Today's podcast is entitled "From Honolulu To Havana" - an all-Hawaiian and Cuban show. An odd pairing, perhaps, but I think it worked. October 27th will be the broadcasting finale of "Sweet & Hot" as yours truly is moving to Melbourne, Australia. So if you're a fan of the show, I strongly...

    Your personality traits~ best and worst

    has anybody here ever played the strategy games from the "Total War" series? The characters/historical personages have "virtues and vices" which appear on their information menu. I would posit that my "virtues and vices" would probably read (almost as if I was a 'Rome: Total War' character)...
