    Men in the PR -- Poll (WOMEN ONLY)

    Damn, now I really want to read that OB thread! ;) I lurk more than I post, and I'll say it's a sign that the Bartenders do such a great job of nixing nasty posts in a timely manner because I've never actually seen any of those types of posts in here myself. But I understand that they do...

    Did Phone Calls Ever Cost Only 2 Cents?

    Was he a real butcher, or a grocery store employee assigned to work in the meat department that day? ;)

    Downton Abbey - I'm hooked

    Poor Anna, indeed. In the real past, a housemaid would lose her position if this became known, no matter how horrific it is, the woman was still blamed in those days for "loose conduct". (Heck, women are still being blamed today but that's neither here nor there.) I'm interested to see how...

    Being called by your first name at work

    When my husband was a graduate student getting his master's degree, he taught some 101 classes and his students always called him Dr., especially in emails. He never corrected them though, because it amused him. I think that the formal Mr./Mrs./Ms./Miss in the workplace is seen, especially...

    CONNECTING CAR to 1942... my story in the past

    I'd attempt to visit the farmers, to ease into your new whereabouts in time, but you need to think up a really good cover story as to why you're stranded in the country and in need of assistance first.

    New Kind of Thread Idea: Your Vintage Life

    Lizze and plain old dave, Bravo! This is such a fun read.....can't wait to find out what happens next! Bartenders, someone a couple of pages ago suggested an area in the lounge to post fiction, and after this, I agree! Maybe as part of the Reading Room?

    New Kind of Thread Idea: Your Vintage Life

    May I respectfully request more, Lizzie? :) I love time travel-fish out of water stories. And do they locate her now-elderly daughter?

    Downton Abbey - I'm hooked

    After the end of last season, I had started to like Thomas and feel sympathy for him, and now it seems he's back up to his old tricks again. I hope they don't have him completely revert to type, his character needs to have more depth. The storyline about Carson being a former 'song and dance...

    Vintage Typefaces

    The first thing that came to mind when I saw the Cheltenham was old children's books of the era. Is this what was used in the Dick and Jane books?

    Downton Abbey - I'm hooked

    Who watched the two-hour premiere of season 4 last night? What did you think?

    Lovely Vintage Wrapping Paper!

    Those are adorable! Next time I'm in need of wrapping paper I'll keep them in mind. :)

    It is tough going vintage everyday.

    I'm glad the love of all things vintage is alive and well in England. Wish it were that way here! There may be enclaves of vintage-ness in large urban areas like New York and L.A, but elsewhere.....nada.

    Old Home Recipes

    I disliked pineapple all my life, until a couple of years ago when I decided to try it again as an adult. I was pleasantly surprised. I still have to force myself past the ingrained mental "ew" that crops up, but I can safely say that I'll eat pineapple now. I eased my way into it by making...

    Inspiration for the winter, Downton Abbey but not what you'd think

    Last year Ralph Lauren was doing Edwardian-themed outfits, you could do some searches on that for some inspiration. Lots of tweeds, vests. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-2201237/Ralph-Lauren-support-Downton-Abbey-fashion-house-signs-TV-sponsorship.html

    Terms Which Have Disappeared

    Kids today probably wouldn't know what you meant by the phrase "hang up the phone". With automatic windows being the standard norm in cars for decades now, do people still say "roll down the window?" What else would you say - put the window down? Buzz down the window? Open the window? Or...
