    Are we LYING about our dresses???

    :eek: Cold feet, maybe? I've had success soaking sweat-stained, non-vintage white shirts in Biz for an hour and then using detergent. But I've never tried it on brown underarm stains.

    Facebook anybody?

    Overwhelming, and mostly inconsequential babbling. It wasn't even chit-chat--just a lot of "A likes B's status" and "B commented" and "Helped my neighbor plow his field today!" I never thought of running to the computer to announce that I'd shoveled my neighbor's sidewalk. Nor did I ever imagine...

    Retro=Frumpy?

    With every person, certain cuts and colors work better than others. Sometimes we move to a different stage of life, and the styles we've been wearing no longer represent us. It might be time to ignore what others say, or it might be time to redo your look.

    Facebook anybody?

    I'll keep the Hide button in mind if I ever decide to re-join. Or I'll re-join under a pseudonym.

    Learning to Dance

    All good points, Adamjaskie. If the follower is following, it doesn't make a difference whether she hears the beat or not. She steps when he steps. Remember the deaf actress on Dancing with the Stars? The mood of the song doesn't always match the beat. "Love me or Leave Me" is a sad song...

    Facebook anybody?

    I deactivated my Facebook account last night. I was tired of being bombarded by my friends' constant updates about the minutae of their lives. (By "friends," I mean relative I'm not in contact with because we have nothing in common.) Thank you, cousin, but the status of your goats doesn't...

    White pages may go the way of rotary phones in NY

    Not to belabor the point, but I don't think Yellow Book is associated with any provider, and they've been around since the 30s. The nickle-and-dime providers around here don't publish phone books (thank God).

    White pages may go the way of rotary phones in NY

    Well, Verizon isn't even a provider around here and I think Yellow Book is independent. I'm not the only one who's tired of all the phone books. The issue has gone to the state legislature: http://www.denverpost.com/pennyparker/ci_14361437?source=rss BTW, Verizon sent me some junk mail...

    White pages may go the way of rotary phones in NY

    Opting Out I was wrong: we get three sets of phone books: Verizon, Dex, and Yellow Book. For the Denver metro area, each company puts out two phone books three inches thick, and a local one that lists places that are across town, but not any places that are within the Denver city limits two...

    White pages may go the way of rotary phones in NY

    The phone book still lists my hairstylist's address as the place she moved from three years ago. The Internet has her current address. I'd love to be able to opt out of getting phone books. We get sets from two different companies about every six months here, and I throw them out without...

    Non-niffy hairspray?

    I use the hairstay maximum hold spray. It has a pink lid. I also use their gel--also with a pink lid. I can smell the gel when it's wet, but not dry, if that makes a difference.

    Retro Revolution

    I just laughed my head off. That's not an invitation for lurking zombies.

    Non-niffy hairspray?

    I use KMS hairspray. I don't know if it's available in England (it's sold only in salons here), but I can't smell it. It holds this horse's mane that grows out of my head pretty well.

    Toyota Retro Commercials

    Some so-called "foreign" cars are made in the U.S., some "domestic" cars are made in Mexico.

    Retro Revolution

    There was a TV show a few years ago about a vampire who served in WWII (before his wife turned him into one). It was a good show that some of us Loungers enjoyed--cancelled after one season, of course. Moonlight

    Black tie 1920's/1930's

    Nilo Menendez, 1929. Probably New York City.

    Retro Revolution

    I've noticed that the style in ladies' clothes has become more feminine, which I like. Is there going to be a mass reversion to women's traditional roles? For reasons that aren't germane to this thread, no.

    "The authenticity hoax"

    A prime example of an inauthentic life, from my perspective, is that of one of my cousins. She was married to a man for many years, despite knowing from her teens that she was a lesbian. Why did she get married and have kids? Because, she said, it was expected of her. They eventually divorced...

    MEAT in the Golden Era

    Here in the West, my parents (b. ca. 1930) ate a lot of trout--so much that my mother won't eat fish anymore. My father poached deer and antelope and hunted elk with a license (I think). He remembers overhearing a conversation between his father and another man when he was a kid: the other man...

    MEAT in the Golden Era

    In my mother's family, bread and potato part was unfortunately true. Potatoes, gravy, corn bread and beans--there was even a toaster on my grandparents' table. I say "unfortunately" because my mother has been obese much of her life and has had diabetes II for 20 years. Without going into a...
