    Classic Hollywood Kiss

    The kiss in the cottage on "The Quiet Man" and "Gone with the Wind", of course. I apparently have a always had a thing for strong men.

    They Say Em' From the Golden Era - Slang & Memorable Phrases

    I use all kinds of slang and old terms for things. Record player covers my MP3, stereo, radio on my dad's satellite...anything that plays music. A refrigerator is an ice box, and always has been and always will be. Things are the bee's knees, I'm a city slicker, things are smooth, I've dated...

    Proper wearing of a belt?

    It's a square knot, darlin', everyone knows that!

    We're here because...

    I enjoy the sewing topics here better then most other places. I also feel I can be helpful, and I usually stick to just that unless something in the Observation Bar strikes my fancy. Commenting varies, mostly it depends on if I'm feeling particularly masochistic that day or not. I do read...

    Will jeans be going out of fashion?

    Sometimes I think people need to learn that covering up isn't a bad thing.

    COPA free week trial

    Yes, I got the last of the main ones I wanted this morning and then it stopped. Several people on other sewing sites I know are having the same issues, and some were having them yesterday.

    Best quotes - Merged thread - Keep it Clean! No dashes! No Symbols!

    LOL, I could, but sadly most men I know would be like this :eek: :eek: if I tried. And really, I can't imagine one having enough guts to use it on me.

    CONTEST #2: What date and time will the baby be born?

    Ha. I just watched a friend go through 79 hours of labor for her 5th kid. I have one kid and had 2 hours or labor, of which I slept through that and the birth. I woke up long enough to push. I hope you have my type of labor.

    the face of evil

    We ran across some of these the other day. I got my kid a black fedora from Wal-Mart, mis-priced at $3. I feel no shame for it, he'll wear it, enjoy it and I didn't give an arm and a leg and go into debt. He thinks he looks debonair (it's solid canvas admittedly). Granted, he'll probably...

    Lame and everyone knows it: "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn." Now if I only could find a real life Rhett.[huh]

    Vintage Things That Have Disappeared In Your Lifetime?

    French fries made with lard. Man I miss fries.

    CONTEST #2: What date and time will the baby be born?

    Sept. 2, 11:37 PM after a 2 day labor. :D (Had to throw that one at you!)

    Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage

    I had a little kid of 3-4 the other day run up to me and tugged on my skirt and asked me if I had candy. I was in a 30s styled outfit, nothing overly vintage, just slightly feminine and retro. His mother said his great grandmother used to dress like that and always had candy on her. And...

    Sword and Sorcery Movies from the 80's

    Highlander is one of my favorite films of all time, to the point my son yells at me "I know it's the Kurgan, mom!" when SpongeBob comes on, but it's not really sorcery with it IMO (no. 3 would qualify for both sword and sorcery and terrible 90s films). I gotta go with Excalibur. Not only...

    All things Sewing Machines!

    I got one from my grandma that I claim, and it's a 50s green bullet style Universal. While it works, I won't use it because I can't stand it. It sews well and everything, but a sewing machine is one of those not one size fits all.

    Sunday best?

    When I was small, I used to attend with a man who wore jeans, a ratty button down and shoes that were cracked but they were clean, and this was in a fairly affluent neighboorhood. Turned out, that happened to be the best clothing the man owned, and could afford because his wife was dying of...

    All things Sewing Machines!

    What I like, need and want isn't the same for you, and I'd expect LD, Casey, Lauren and everyone else will have different things they want too. My machine goes forwards and backwards in a straight stitch and I have a doo hickey to make it go backwards with different lengths. It was all I...

    the face of evil

    *moves to the far side of the room and has an escape ready* Uh...doesn't stuff like this start making it more mainstream, and therefore more available for y'all to have them, and to get good hat wearers in the future?
