    The Wifely Duties

    No, I dont have the same concerns regarding public/private schools. What I'm talking about is early childhood. I'm talking about the kids who are put in daycare starting at 6 weeks. Those first few years are very important to a childs development... I wouldnt want someone else taking care of my...

    The Wifely Duties

    :) Its ok, and I understand. I'm not trying to start an argument or tick anyone off. This is just a subject I feel very strongly about, and I understand that others might feel differently. Differences in opinions are quite alright. I understand that some women simply CANT stay home. However...

    Vintage Personae

    I wouldnt say that I'm a different person when I wear vintage... but its like a have a teeny bit more confidence and my normal personality gets amplified a little bit. However, I dont know if thats such a good thing. My normal personality is bright, cheerful, bubbly and I talk too much. :rolleyes:

    Spoolies

    The Dance Snob

    Gotta agree with you there, BV... I like wearing vintage, and I showed up to my first swing dance dressed up... but couldnt tell you a thing about what the Savoy was, or name many bands either. I would have been pretty put out if someone asked me "why are you here" if I wasnt a walking...

    The Wifely Duties

    Personally, I dont think it is possible to balance a career and raise children. It isnt emotionally or developmentally healthy for children to be thrown in daycare from infancy until age 5 because mom is unwilling to give up her career. The spread of liberalism has made women feel like they can...

    The Dance Snob

    You know what else burns my hiney? And, I think it goes directly with what Matt was just saying about dancing to your partners level. When I do get asked to dance by someone of greater experience, I always let them know what I can do as we're walking to the floor, that way they dont throw...

    Show Us Your Purchases!

    Ok, so I finally figured out this darn picture posting thing. These are my newest buys on ebay. I'm still trying to figure out how to date stuff, so I manage to get things from all over the place. I think my polka dot dress is maybe late 50's? Early 60's? I dont know. I need to get some books...

    Show Us Your Purchases!

    Lauren, once again I am utterly green with envy over another one of your glorious purchases! you are too cool. Now, if only I could find a vintage swimsuit for when my family drags me to the beach in a couple weeks... for slathering myself with 100spf sunscreen, wearing a hat and sitting...

    The Dance Snob

    Thank you!!! Thanks Matt! I'm a new dancer, and I hate it when the really good folks wont ask me to dance! :( I end up having to dance with someone equally as bad as me, then I dont learn anything! Occasionaly a nice fellow with dance experience such as yourself will ask me to dance and give me...

    The Wifely Duties

    As a rather staunch conservative.... especially when it comes to families and traditional gender roles, I thought that article was an interesting read. I have a few books that I would suggest reading if you're interested in such things: "There's no place like work: how business, government...

    Your Favorite Pastime As a Child...

    me too! I was really careful with my barbies and my dolls... they always were dressed and I always brushed their hair and kept them looking nice... it drove me NUTS when I went to a friends house and their dolls and barbies were thrown around half dressed with messy hair. Can we say OCD? My...

    Your Favorite Pastime As a Child...

    When I was little, I couldnt get enough of playing dress up and make believe. My sister and I didnt get along very well when we were little, so I played by myself most of the time. Mom said I would play in my room for hours by myself making tents and dressing up in her old clothes and shoes...

    Old fashioned names new again....

    I'm a Jessica Grace... named after my dad, Jesse and my great grandmother, Gracie Mae. (I'm from a southern family, cantcha tell?) when I was but 12, I decided on a girls name if I was ever blessed with children, and one happened to be a girl: Virginia Louise. I'm sure she will hate me for...

    Screen Names...

    When I signed up for the lounge I was sitting at my computer listening to music, as usual... I was listening to a mix of early punk and new wave music, and Blondies "Atomic" came on. So, it is a combination of the song "Atomic" and the fact that I am blonde. Fairly silly, but I'm bad at coming...

    Savannah, GA

    If you're into the Civil War at all, Ft. Pulaski is pretty neat. I went down there a few years ago for a reenactment. Its where the "Immortal 600" were kept and nearly starved to death after being used as literal human shields. http://www.nps.gov/fopu/index.htm
