    Raising Children--Retro in a Modern World

    You ain't just whistling Dixie there Lincsong. Yep. How can a six year old reach such"conclusions" on their own. Gotta be careful though, arrogance of human nature is the deadliest and I mean DEADLIEST FOE we'll ever face. I doubt this following scenario will happen with your friend's son...

    Raising Children--Retro in a Modern World

    Shaping your child's soul with the loving standards of humility will protect him and guide him against the poison of arrogance, which sadly seems to eventually attack even the most kind of children. Yep, easier, MUCH easier when the majority of society is humble, the old days. When the...

    The Swimmer-spinoff from Weird and Forgotten Thread

    Correct there Senator , it is what it is, an allegory. I stated the meaning is obvious but the point of view is not. Since you grasped right away it 's an allegory that seemed to be enough to the point of not sparking your interest into how this is really happening. Remember at one point...

    I have noticed being automatically logged off if you type a long post, only then to log back on and have post summited anyway. Could this be what's causing double posts?

    Not just whistlin' Dixie there, Cousin Hepcat. A particular vinyl of which I am a proud owner of a copy as well. Herb Alpert? I myself prefer the jazz of Chuck Mangione and Maynard Ferguson as those who are similar to Herb Alpert. Growing up in the seventies they used SO MUCH of Mangione's...

    Fave radio crooner?

    Yeah. Nobody did their thing quite like Bing. A veritable cornucopia of talent, little did they know what a journey of fame that twas ahead for him. I would like to add at least an honorable mention to the very early Mel Torme and his Mel-Tones, who in fact did some work and recordings with...

    How-to: 1930s-40s party?

    Honestly for a party that "walks the walk" ,as you say, authentic, to make a person feel like they've achieved that step back through time effect, would be for you to tackle this as if you were creating a movieset. Which would require an ENTIRE re-interior decoration of your pad. Art Deco...
