    Walking Into The Past...

    I understand the pain of dealing with someone else's stuff, especially from out of state. I imagine the family was doing the best they could. Given the ethos over the past few decades of letting mentally ill people fend for themselves, I'd be surprised if someone were declared incompetent...

    PBS Masterpiece Theatre - The Complete Jane Austen

    I watched Jane Austen Regrets last night. She was portrayed a little flintier than I pictured her.

    The Workplace...A Modern Tragedy?

    Exactly right. The tone comes from the top. I don't envy anyone who has to tell this to their superiors. I've worked at about 20 different places, and my current employer is the best I've had. Here are some factors: Great leadership. Our partner in charge hires competent people and lets...

    Walking Into The Past...

    If you thought this lady was being defrauded out of her money, why didn't you call the attorney general? I'm trying to follow the money, but a few things don't make sense. First, the money from the sale of a house goes to the owner, not the owner's relatives. Second, a nursing home or...

    Walking Into The Past...

    Actually, I can sympathize with the family wanting to get the house cleared out, especially if they live out of town. They probably have responsibilities and a houseful of stuff already. Also, an estate sale company won't deal with a mess: boxes of old chemicals, newspapers, etc. While some of...

    Am I being paranoid?

    I'd be afraid that someone would take the small lockbox and break it open elsewhere. [huh]

    Am I being paranoid?

    If you can't bring yourself to leave it at home, then mentally prepare yourself to accept the worst, should it happen. You won't be scarred for life if your clothes are stolen.

    What do the Men of the Lounge want for Valentine's Day?

    I gave my last boyfriend the same gift for Valentine's Day that he gave me a week earlier for my birthday: nothing.

    How to avoid looking like emo / rockabilly / scene ???

    I wasn't there, but that's probably how most women really looked in the 50s.

    My Fan Story!

    I'm not sure, but I think fans might have gone out of style by the 30s. If you're holding a cocktail, a handbag and maybe a cigarette, you can't maneuver a fan. But I agree that they're pretty.

    What women think of mens hairdo's?

    Somehow, it always comes back to Johnny Depp.

    Heading to California & need yer help!

    The Hearst Castle. It's halfway between LA and SF along Highway 1.

    I love this gown.... anyone got $3K?

    You may not have $3,000, but you have outstanding taste.

    What women think of mens hairdo's?

    IMHO, if a guy is going bald, he should just take what hair he has left and cut it short. We're not living in the days of Ben Franklin. I like short and trim best--if it suits the guy. If his ears stick out, a little extra hair can cover that up. Whitewalls give a man a military look, which I...

    The loss of occasion

    I did have a successful birthday party for a friend after I made that post. My guests were great--they even threw their napkins in the laundry basket and lined up to hand me their plates to put in the dishwasher.

    Throwaway History

    People wouldn't necessarily have turned out to a historical event if there weren't a sale going on. I myself avoid going anywhere in 100 degree heat...except to someplace air conditioned.

    The Dance Snob

    :arated: If I ever feel I'm too good to ask a newbie to dance, I hope someone will be a good enough friend to tell me I've gotten too big for my breeches.

    a lost camera

    My sister found a digital diary at a truck stop in Chicago and gave it to me. I called people in the address book until I found its owner, whereupon I mailed it to him. He said he'd given up all hope of finding it, and asked how it ended up in Colorado.

    bye bye television!

    Some of the cable channels are really good, but finding out obscure facts about Neanderthals or the solar system isn't worth $50 per month for me. As for movies, I pay $5.83 to Netflix. That and PBS, and a few network shows, suit my needs. I've done without a TV before, and it had nothing to...
