    Vintage televisions, anyone? Post pics here!

    If there's one thing I don't miss it's old black & white TVs. I remember as a child in the SF Bay Area we only got 4 state 2 KTVU (IND), 4 KRON (NBC), 5 KPIX (CBS) and 7 KGO (ABC) The channels went off the air late at night and you were always having to fiddle with the Horizontal and Vertical...

    Dr Martens

    My problem with Doc Martens is no half sizes, 10s are too tight in the toe area and 11 are too loose especially in the heel area. I refuse to wear thick or thin socks to make a pair of shoes fit properly. I should be able to buy a size that fits me feet, it's not like I have odd size feet I've...

    DE shaving issues

    DE razors went out of wide spread use due to marketing by Gillette for their new (more expensive) cartridge shaving system (Trac II) and the fact that they require a certain amount of skill to perform properly, I'm sorry your daddy didn't teach you how to shave properly. :lol: The DE razor...

    What Are You Reading

    Most Sociopaths aren't Axe Murderers. They could be the Man/Woman you get into a relationship with, who maxes out your credit cards then leaves you with the bills while they go find their next victim.

    Does Aero accept Paypal?

    What you do then is get a Pay Pal Mastercard debit card. I have a small internet based business and take most of my payments via Pay Pal, before I was having to withdraw the funds from Pay Pal to my bank account before I could spend the funds.

    Carpenter's pants

    I used to buy chambray shirts and carpenter jeans in the work clothes section of Penny's and Sears in the early 70s, I think they must date much earlier. You see the films of the making of the Hoover Dam and Golden Gate Bridge and the workers are wearing jeans.

    Loungers' Pets

    I had a vet who was like that, my Samantha would cry at the Vet's office until he came in. Then she'd sit there quietly while he examined her, without a peep or trying to get off the table. She's the same way at the groomers, quite and well behaved until Dad comes to pick her up. Once she...

    Loungers' Pets

I've known people who refuse to get another pet because the loss of a previous pet was too painful to...
