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

    I had an older set I couldn't do that with, or maybe I just didn't know how. I didn't see a place to plug anything but the antenna into.

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

    I'd think it would be hard for a seller to get rid of an old TV--they'd have to junk it, repurpose it or store it for a long while. I don't think you can hook one up to a DVD player or even cable, can you? Aside from sports and news, you'd be watching Survivor or Grey's Anatomy on your vintage...

    Rosie the Riveter

    Quite by accident, I came across a quote that fit this thread. I have no idea to what extent it's true--I'm just repeating it here. Without waiting for the future, Dorothy Dix ventured a prediction in the Boston Globe, April 24, 1945, as to postwar marital manners: "The first war emancipated...

    Rosie the Riveter

    You might like Emerson's essay "Self Reliance." There is a time in every man's education when he arrives at the conviction that envy is ignorance; that imitation is suicide; that he must take himself for better, for worse, as his portion; that though the wide universe is full of good, no...

    Where to put things...

    There are some threads on storage and closets. A site search of those words in thread titles might turn something up.

    Rosie the Riveter

    This used to be called "women taking jobs away from men." This assumes that there are only so many jobs to go around. In reality, more people working creates more funds: earnings are spent or invested, and there is more demand for goods and services. Consider that Colorado's population almost...

    Dog help?

    A dog's individual personality is a big factor. My Australian shepherd mix likes to go to the dog park and run on the treadmill, but she's content to lie around indoors and stay out of the sun most of the time. She got on the treadmill while I was on it this morning--I should have called her...

    Clothing color combinations

    Paul, I think you're a summer. The pink lipstick suits you and you have grey-blue eyes (like me). Here's the cool summer palette (which suits my coloring): Here's a link to the cool summer makeup palette: http://trepanrr.tripod.com/color_analysis_test.htm#your_personal_makeup_palette

    The Lost Art of Manliness

    Manly men like flowers! At my house, flowers are allowed everywhere but in the lawn. The problem is weeds growing among the flowers. My front yard is full of flowers and sometimes mail carriers whine about having to walk through the "weeds." Not very manly, especially since I go along...

    Dog help?

    He's adorable! How about calling him Rex.

    The Lost Art of Manliness

    A manly man should know flowers from weeds so that he can save me from having to pull weeds--one of my least favorite chores. lol

    The Lost Art of Manliness

    If the winner's views about politics and feminism weren't mentioned on the site, that suggests that those views wouldn't have gone down well with readers. I doubt that readers researched every candidate just to vote in a contest for Old Spice products. I didn't read every post on the web...

    HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

    No. Family members who like each other so much they never get together at any other time stuff themselves with food that's so good they never fix it on any other occasion. Then they watch football and get ready to buy Christmas gifts that will be returned around New Year's.

    Dog help?

    How about a mixed-breed dog from the shelter? I could go on and on about my Australian shepherd-golden retriver mix, but let's just say that with patience and training, she's become a wonderful companion.

    The Lost Art of Manliness

    The author has a blog, http://artofmanliness.com/. Except for the parts about shaving, it seems like sensible lessons for life that anybody could apply.

    Bad Table Manners

    :confused: A background check just to go on a date? What about people with common names? And how in the world would records show someone has a boyfriend or girlfriend?

    Quirky things that people have done 'in the day' that people would gasp at today..

    Maybe in the 40s--my father was a bull rider, a dangerous sport that, for some reason, nobody gasps at today. It's funny how some parents and coaches nowadays will push kids so hard in sports that the kids get frequent injuries, yet they object to playground equipment and suit the kids up in...
