    Nutty Neighbors

    The two women who live in the house next to mine are blind. The other day, one of them mowed the bushes--yes, bushes, with 1/2" limbs--on my property, several feet over the line. Their yard? Nothing but weeds. It used to look like a park a few owners ago.shakeshead This weekend, the line will...

    Is there something you really want to wear but are chicken?

    Here's the thread for you (start looking at it around p. 5) http://www.thefedoralounge.com/showthread.php?t=1797

    Vintage Exercise Techniques

    If your numbers are correct, this is really unhealthy. Your body's ability to recover from exercise is limited--and it needs calories from good foods (including protein-rich foods) to do so. Regardless of how well the endorphins are making you feel, you're burning the candle at both ends. There...

    Vintage Exercise Techniques

    Mrs. Merl, I've referred to two books. Rome 1960 is about the 1960 Olympics in Rome, when women athletes weren't taken very seriously. Wilma Rudolph (the Black Gazelle) and the rest of the Tigerbelles helped change that. Some of the men in track and field started lifting weights as part of their...

    My Search for a Mate is Confined to my Sock Drawer

    Humor? Saying things that can be taken a couple of different ways? Or is that being too subtle? And what's wrong with going at a glacial pace? There's this guy on the bus. Over the past four months, we've exchanged glances. Within the next year, we might say hello. If you want to find someone...

    My Search for a Mate is Confined to my Sock Drawer

    I think a person needs to advance or retreat. Starting out with a friendship is great, but after a while, just hanging around waiting for something to happen is a waste of time, IME.

    My Search for a Mate is Confined to my Sock Drawer

    At times, my best friends have been men. If the attraction isn't there, it just isn't. Of course, they didn't announce they wanted to be just friends.

    Vintage Exercise Techniques

    Steroids help women who want to bulk up, too. lol When I first started lifting weights and doing cardiovascular exercises, along with eating a balance of carbs, protein and vegetables, some people said, "You're wasting away to nothing." Not really--I was just losing a lot of fat. :)

    Comfortable Mary Janes or low heels

    Clarks is a great brand. I had a pair of Clarks sandals that lasted for five years--and was the most comfortable pair of shoes I ever owned.

    Vintage Exercise Techniques

    I recently read in the book Rome 1960 that weightlifting was around at the time, but it was barely respectable. But it is a good way to increase bone density, increase metabolism, and build up those areas that shrink with fat loss. I do weight training three days a week. I think the key is to...

    Lindy will also tone up the outside of your thighs and your rear. In fact, most dances will to some extent, I think. Ever see a dancer with a flat butt?

    Vintage Exercise Techniques

    I think losing the saddlebags (fat) is as important, if not more so, than increasing the muscle mass they're sitting on. Fat burning exercises are those that get your heart rate and breathing rate up. You can dance, run, swim, ride a stationary bike, jog up and down stairs, skip rope, shadow...

    Clotheslines

    A balance is nice. In my neighborhood, you can pretty much do what you want to with your landscaping, house color, etc. There are codes that the city enforces, though, like trash collection. But our code enforcement officers seem utterly blind to junk cars and Barcaloungers on the porch. They're...

    Clotheslines

    ^ I like the term "little tin gods." But I guess if you don't like covenants, don't move to a neighborhood that has them.

    Clothing color combinations

    Laura Chase, why don't you PM Paddy and Lauren? I'm sure one of them know whether black is a classic ladies' trenchcoat color. Sometimes, though, the message that a color conveys is more important than whether it goes with the owner's skin tone. I'm a summer and I wear a beige trench coat. It's...

    how do i do it irritate so many so fast.

    When you were an active member of the church, did you often call people who stopped attending? You probably didn't, not because you were uncaring, but because you weren't close to them. As Foofoogal said, most "friendships" are out of convenience. If you want a more active social life...

    Golden Era Building Materials...

    For 13 years, I've owned and lived in a house built in 1910. My advice: take advantage of modern materials. My new metal garage door is way better than the old sagging, rotting, wooden ones were. The new cement board behind and beneath the bathroom tile won't rot. The asphalt shingles won't...

    I'll be that in the 70s, there were guys who'd been in the rockabilly scene since the 50s who had the same complaints. ;)
