    What was your first job?

    During my senior year in high school, for the first time ever, the Illinois school system offered a program called Experienced Based Career Education. (Fortunately, similar programs are common place these days, because it's a great way to learn something about a career before heading off to...

    Screen Names...

    Happenstance One year I had been making sachet's as gifts. The first time I signed up to be online, as I was talking to the Sysop setting up the account, he asked me for a screen name. My gaze flew around the room and paused on a sachet. Voila!

    Memorial Day- Who will you remember?

    My dad, who was a medic in WWII and so proud to have served his country. I can smile now over the stories he used to tell of his "buddies". He was a master story teller.

    Fear of the feminine

    It can be! I have friends whom I love and adore, but they have gently harassed me for not opening a door for a man when we arrive at the same time. (!?!) And for suggesting that in some situations (say jury duty or a business appointment) that it might behoove them to wear a dress. They don't...

    OH MY GOODNESS... Did I hit the jackpot!

    Wow! What wonderful treasures for you!! I find the artwork on the letters to be especially delightful. Those would be quite the conversation piece if you could frame them in a shadowbox. Guests could admire your grandfather's talent and endearing sense of whimsy. :)

    Was Your Hometown Retro?

    Did he get some chocolate covered marshmallows? Hmmmmmmmmmmmm? [angel] You are so fortunate to have such a place, Scott! Has there always been a conscious effort to maintain the vintage atmosphere or was it mere happenstance and the owners at some point (fortuitously) realized it was a...

    A big loss for Daisy and HJ

    I'm glad that you have wonderful memories of Mina, but so sorry for your loss. Maybe this website will help soothe your heartache just a wee bit, as it did mine. I still miss my great dane, Banyan. http://www.indigo.org/rainbowbridge_ver2.html

    Superman Returns

    Well said, Twitch, very well said. You bring up valid points that I hadn't considered. It's an odd era in which we live, what with so many older films being redone. Sometimes I resent anyone trying to remake a "classic" that should be left untouched for a multitude of reasons. But, those reasons...

    Fear of the feminine

    I would totally agree. But! Primped and obviously pregnant. Yowzer! Men fall over themselves being respectful gentelmen. 'Twas highly entertaining. :p

    Fear of the feminine

    It's not a fear per se, but sometimes an awareness of not wanting others to feel uncomfortable because maybe they aren't as comfortable within their own femininity. It depends on the circumstances. Sometimes I dress according to my mood and personal preferences and other times I play the...

    May Day Boycott

    I am so encouraged by the level of intelligent and mutually respectful dialogue that has taken place concerning the illegal immigrants issue in the FL. The various posts here have been of a higher caliber than what I read in the April 10th issue of Newsweek. Yes, there have been a few slams and...

    The Wifely Duties

    I can offer a couple of perspectives from personal experience. When I was twenty I worked as a nanny for an affluent family in the suburbs of Chicago. He was in finance and she was an ER physician. While they were at work I ran their household and raised their adorable son from the time he was...

    Replacing Vanity Mirrors

    Hello OcNikki, I too, have an antique vanity mirror that is a bit foggy and splotchy in places. Personally, I enjoy the sense of time captured in the mirror that the signs of aging convey to me. But, those very same qualities can be extremely inconvenient when I am trying to see how a...

    my first sewing project!

    Nice job! See, you're smart to start with something easy. My first item was a skirt and it ended up too tight, but I still had to wear it in the school competition. I was mortified! I should have started with something non-wearable and more practical. I sure learned a lot though. You are...

    Time Magazine article re: Manners

    The February 20th issue of Time has an interesting article (page 52) on how many colleges are offering classes and some fraternities are requiring courses on manners, to help battle binge drinking and to promote healthy living and self-respect. * Oregon State has their Balanced Man Program...

I have posted merely a few (from the list) that Lounge members might find especially interesting and useful. There are many, many...
