    How do you preserve your upolstery?

    Your grey dog is camoflaged--just like my brown dog on my brown wing chair. She was so well hidden that it took my neighbor a few minutes to find her.

    The Marx Brothers thread

    One of the lines that my best friend and I like to share was inspired by A Night at the Opera (I think): "5x5x5 crap in a 4x4x4 space." She was trying to fit all of her stuff in a small apartment at the time we coined this.

    WWII attitudes to conscription and going into the service

    I'm glad that Musial, Walker and Greenberg did everything they were able to do under the circumstances. There was another man who got the "Why aren't YOU in a uniform" remark from a complete stranger, and it bothered him. He couldn't tell her the reason: he was working on the Manhattan...

    WWII attitudes to conscription and going into the service

    The book The Great Starvation Experiment says that quite a few members of the Historical Peace Churches volunteered for military service, and the military in general didn't want conscientious objectors in their ranks. When James Stewart first tried to enlist, he was turned down. As I recall...

    (Re)Book-em Danno

    ^Do you get Streets of San Francisco with your cable? I think it's a really good detective show that you might like. It's on my parents' cable programming. If you have a high-speed Internet connection, you could watch the old Hawaii 5-0 on cbs.com. You might look into Netflix, too--they...

    Embarrassing Moments

    I once went out with a large, fresh sanitary pad stuck to the back of my sweater. I have no idea how it got there.

    Hey, what ever happened to....

    My mother is diabetic, and I can tell when she's been eating carbs. It's as if she's been drinking.

    Pumpkin

    Whatever you make, use a fresh pumpkin. Stab a few holes in it and bake it at around 300 or 350 until it's a little spongy (maybe an hour). Let cool, and scoop out the meat. It's way, way better than the canned goop. Take the seeds, rinse, soak them in salt water overnight, drain, rinse, and...

    Hey, what ever happened to....

    I heard once that America's Funniest Home Videos (TV show) received tons of videos showing people fainting during weddings. Hilarious, no?

    Hey, that's reason enough for me to watch it. :D

    Hey, what ever happened to....

    ^He'd have gotten yelled at where I went to basic. They told you, in no uncertain terms, not to lock your knees.

    Hey, what ever happened to....

    Speaking of cadets fainting, sometimes people fainted in formation when I was in basic training. They locked their knees, the blood went to their feet, and then *thump.*

    Hey, what ever happened to....

    I fainted several years ago when I gave blood and didn't take any time to sit and relax before leaving. I felt very ill for a few minutes before it happened and I wouldn't want to repeat the experience. ...unless Alex O'Laughlin were there to hold my hand while I recovered.

    Unpopular movie opinions...

    I had a sister who loved Tolkien, too. I tried to read Tolkien twice and just couldn't get into his books. I know others adore them, but they struck me as the silliest stuff I'd ever read. I like Night Court (the TV show), Dumb and Dumber and John Candy, so my tolerance for silliness is pretty high.

    Lindy Hop

    Maybe I'm just blessed with outstanding teachers (Tiff & Kenny, Joe & Nelle), but after eight years, I still learn things in their intermediate classes.

    Weight loss options

    What I like in place of potato chips is fried kelp. Cut dried kelp into chip-size pieces, melt ghee in a pan over slightly-over-medium heat, and gently press the kelp into the pan with tongs. (Wear an oven mitt for safety.) Cook a few seconds on each side. Serve with ranch dip (sour cream with...

    I think it was called the Rat Pack.

    do you have many friends?

    I can't stand Facebook. I cancelled my account a few months ago, and if I ever go back on to keep up with groups I like, I'll do it under an assumed name. My half-brother (whom I consider shirt-tail relation--we didn't grow up together and have never actually met) asked someone to ask my mom...
