    Smoking and hospitals

    How about discombuttinated: in a tizzy because one cannot avail oneself of cigarettes.

    Smoking and hospitals

    Maybe they were fuming while ruminating. Wouldn't that be "fuminating"? In defense of the haughty, barking matron, she doesn't make the rules, and if she had allowed an exception, she might have gotten herself in trouble.

    Skin Care tips/remedies

    While this advice probably won't hurt anyone's skin, different people and different skin conditions require different treatments. I don't think it would have done anything for the acne I had for much of my adult life. There's no way I could drink 2 liters of water in a day. I tried it once on...

    The Golden Era's *ugliest* clothes

    I don't see what's so awful about the dresses. I would get rid of the striped socks, hike up the slip under the blond girl's skirt and go down a size on the striped shirt, though.

    Vintage Desecration - Things Altered/Repurposed, and a Vintage Treasure Lost Forever.

    I have a cute handbag that's kind of like the purses above, BUT the pictures are printed on fabric. (It's better looking, too.) No vintage items were harmed. It's so easy to make a paper copy nowadays. [huh]

    Winter is Upon us - Especially in the Midwest.

    No pictures, but it has been cold enough in the glass highrise where I work to wear an extra layer of clothes.

    Who are your Role Models?

    :offtopic: Have you ever thought of becoming a lawyer?

    Who are your Role Models?

    Just so we're clear, I wasn't talking about every musician who has ever lived.

    Who are your Role Models?

    Yes, I admire people more for their character than their work, although people of good character generally produce good work. That doesn't necessarily go the other way. Musicians in particular might produce glorious work while leading lives that I, for one, cannot say I admire.

    Who are your Role Models?

    Me, neither. I live in Englewood, not Hollywood.

    Cold Weather Parka

    I used to have one of those when I was stationed at the Air Force Academy. The only time I ever got cold in it, the wind chill factor was 40 below zero F.

    The "Annoying Phrase" Thread

    It isn't twice as warm Sometimes radio DJs will say this time of year, "It's twice as warm as it was yesterday," e.g., it was five degrees yesterday and it's ten degrees today. Measuring from absolute zero (the temperature at which all motion in matter stops), it was 465 degrees Rankine...

    Vintage Desecration - Things Altered/Repurposed, and a Vintage Treasure Lost Forever.

    If you alter it as you are describing, it will still be the same waistcoat with the same character and basic appearance. Besides, it's always been common practice to have clothes altered. I don't see this as desecration.

    Class rings, onetime popular mementos, losing popularity

    My father gave me a watch for my 18th birthday. I still wear it sometimes.

    Class rings, onetime popular mementos, losing popularity

    These are all good reasons not to get a class ring, but I'm sure the reason kids don't get them anymore is that they're passe. I can't remember the last time I saw someone wearing one.

    Combination Skin Nightmare!

    Drying out your skin will also make it absorb anything oily.

    95 Year Italian Lady Birthday Present.

    So, if she's turning 95, she was born in 1914 and she'd have been 16 years old in 1930, right? :) Would Italian music from around 1930 be what you're looking for?

    95 Year Italian Lady Birthday Present.

    No old woman I know wants a man. Wait--we're talking Italian man. Ah, that's different.
