    Anyone else interested in trying out ration dieting?

    This is such an interesting thread. I'm curious, too, what folks are doing with this.

    Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage

    I was at an estate sale, and an elderly gentleman came up next to me and said, "I'm not getting fresh, but you look really lovely." I told him he made my day, and he laughed and moved on. A few days after that, I was standing in a grocery store aisle, and a middle-aged man was walking past...

    Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage

    My boss told me the other day that I have a "collegiate style." I tend to wear skirts, tights, and cardigans. Classic with vintage overtones. Not sure when that became collegiate. Having taught college, I'm positive I haven't seen a college girl dressed in anything other than jeans, pajamas or...

    Things You Learn as an Old Car Driver

    Great list, Lizzie. I drive a 1973 VW bug, which looks like almost every other year of bug to the casual observer. I "get" to hear about every bug anyone or their friends and family ever owned! Since there's no air conditioner, you also quickly learn why women used to wear head scarves! And...

    How to store a 1920s ostrich boa?

    I would caution against putting it in an airtight box. Sometimes moisture can build up and then you'll get something yucky. Pad the boa with some tissue paper and coil it loosely up inside a hatbox, if you have one. Preferably line it with some acid free paper (pretty scrapbook paper does the...

    Found Letters--German--1940s

    I live in a German-heritage town, so in the early part of the 20th century, there would have been a lot of relatives in Germany and a very common occurrence for local folks sending all kinds of things back to Germany right after the war. I work with a lady who was a young teenager still in...

    I think it's a compliment in that he noticed you, probably because you stood out in looking nice. Probably meant to be chivalrous rather than an indication he thought you weak.

    Favorite comfort food . . .

    Banana pudding from scratch with bananas, Nilla wafers, and custard, like my mom made.

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Just watched Night Fighters with Robert Mitchum and Richard Harris. Accents are a bit dodgy, but overall really excellent and nuanced look at the IRA's relationship with Nazi Germany.

    Golden Age Actors/Actresses Who Aged Gracefully

    Another vote for Cary Grant and Lauren Bacall. I'll add another favorite of mine: Robert Young. Sorry for no photos, but look at him back in West Point of the Air, then in Father Knows Best, then in Marcus Welby. Lovely man.
