Correct Telephone Habits
That was fascinating reading. Shows how much things have changed. When exactly does that document date from? My guess is the 1920s.- Shangas

Help with silver cocktail shaker
Hot water (possibly with some soap) is a wonderful lubricant for loosening up stuck and jammed things. I heartily recommend its use. Hallmarks are not always stamped in obvious places. I'd search the entire surface of the shaker, inside and out, before deciding that it isn't silver.- Shangas

Show us your Thrift and/or yard sale finds
This is an eBay picture, but I bought one of these at a junk-shop a suburb away from where I live... it's a VELOS 24 "type-cleaner", for cleaning the slugs on your typewriter-bars. Basically, inside is a ball/bar of mouldable putty. You yank off a hunk, squeeze it into a sausage, and then...- Shangas

Privacy in Modern Times -- Is it being obsoleted too?
I'm generally a rather quiet person. I wouldn't say I'm introverted, but I prefer quiet gatherings of friends. I don't like noisy parties with dozens of people. A good feed, a nice drink and some witty conversation. That said, I do enjoy my privacy. There are some times where you just don't...- Shangas

Show us your Thrift and/or yard sale finds
In Australia at least, we sell stuff at such shops really cheap so that lots of people will buy them. And the money that's raised goes to fund homeless-shelters, food-kitchens, laundries, dental-care, housing, etc., etc...- Shangas

A Question about Typewriter Ribbons
Hi Everyone, I'd appreciate your advice/input on something I might want to purchase. Long Story Short: I have the opportunity to buy a Remington #2 Portable. One of these things: Not that *exact* one, of course, but one of almost identical style. That's just there for illustrative...- Shangas

What are you listening to?
Reflecting the impossible heatwave that we've got around here at this current moment in time, I am listening to the Rhythmic Eight, coming live from 1929, with... "Tain't No Sin" (To take off your skin, and dance around in your bones) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NY209IVtJmE -
Shave of the Day
...Do you shave the cat, too? I'll be honest. Those electric vibrating rotating swiveling "razors" scare the hell out of me. I would never let one anywhere near my face. I'll stick to my Rodgers straight razor, thank you very much.- Shangas

What pens are we carrying today?
I feel sorry that you had to experience that, David. For the most part, pen-collectors/users, and even pen-collectors/collectors are very nice people. it's not easy explaining our passions to those who don't understand, and so I personally wouldn't waste my time trying to explain, or justify...- Shangas

Boater faction!
This is the first time I've heard of a hat being referred to as 'crispy'. Is it a boater, or a loaf of bread? :D
