Wasn't there a daughter a while back who stole some money and ran away, and her parents, too, sent out a message like this? Had I stolen money from my Dad and ran away, he would have 1. written me off as a complete loss ("Nope, no children, never had any."), or 2. posted a classified like this...- Fading Fast

Alice does five years in stir for Mickey, Ma's son, and Ma via Frank gives Alice the name of a forger and Alice agrees that settles the obligation. That could be the single worst, single most unfair deal we've seen on all these news pages in all the years we've been doing Day-to-Days, including...- Fading Fast

Thank you, I now got it: It was closer to the friends and family game on the continuum. By the time I was 8, I was keeping track of my father's bets for him be it on ballgames or at the racetrack. It was a different time. I can still see the small spiral notebook I used like it was yesterday...- Fading Fast

Thank you for responding, but I'm still a bit confused Re the gambling games - are you saying they are just genuine friends and family games run by someone like your mom, or mini gambling parlors that took in strangers and was an full-on for-profit enterprise? I had a great uncle with ulcers...- Fading Fast

Mariana by Monica Dickens, originally published in 1940 Fiction can often seem trivial. After all, how important does the story of a middle-class girl growing up in 1930s England sound? Surely we have better things to do than to learn about a fictional character's minor trials, tribulations...- Fading Fast

Skippy from 1931 with Jackie Cooper, Robert Coogan, Willard Robertson and Enid Bennett Skippy is a family drama or really a kids' movie, 1931 style, where the Depression isn't tucked away from the public. It's entertaining enough if you want to get an idea of what being a kid in 1931 was like...- Fading Fast
