    Fashion Advice Wanted (NO Peeking Guys!)

    I'd have the black suit skirt shortened and wear that.

    Swingin' on Nothin'

    I do solo dance moves on an aerobic step for a workout. Between that and my free weights, I don't need a gym membership. More savings!

    What shall I do? Need advice

    I think it's worth more than $60. What does it cost to rent a U-Haul?

    Don't hate her because her furniture is beautiful. :)

    Different decorating periods in one home...or room?

    I am about to redecorate my bathroom and will probably do it in an era different from the rest of the house (which was builtin 1910). The bathroom isn't authentic to begin with, since the house probably didn't have one in 1910. Bathrooms that did exist in that era tended to have an antisceptic...

    Face Shape?

    Oh, I didn't mean that you had a weak chin; I think it's just right. I was just making up an example. :)

    Face Shape?

    According to the above definitions, you have an oval face. I traced the outline on a piece of paper (yes, it is a slow day here) and that is what I came up with. I think your features make your face look wider than it is; maybe that's why you're having a hard time. In considering a new...

    Shades of Grey

    It isn't. In fact, it's getting darker.

    Lindy Hop, West coast, East coast swing

    Around the Denver area, there are lots of cheap and even free dance lessons out there, especially at clubs. Yet my dance teacher knows people who have paid $2,000 at Arthur Murray, and then lost interest after a few months. Crazy!

    Your mid-life crisis

    Enjoy Yourself! This reminds me of an old song: Enjoy yourself while you're still in the pink Enjoy yourself, enjoy yourself It's later than you think. You work and work for years and years You're always on the go Never take a minute off To busy makin' dough Some day, you say...

    We Pick Up Where They Left Off

    Someone on the Ken Burns series (at the end) said that there is a spiritual poverty today that there wasn't then.

    Love Children! Scam!

    I plan my charitable giving once a year and make monthly donations. If I don't need or want something, I don't buy it. Other than Girl Scouts selling cookies, I haven't seen much fundraising. We tend to do that around here with mill levies on property tax.

    Help me accessorise an Edwardian Walking Suit

    A marcasite necklace and a parasol. Actually, I think you could wear that outfit (without the parasol) and it would look a little old school, but still current.

    Your mid-life crisis

    A few years ago, I started saving a little money every month for a trip to Hawaii for my 40th birthday. I don't think I'll ever have a honeymoon, so this will be my big trip. It's less than a year and a half away! As for having a to-do list, if I feel like doing something, I just do it then...

    1943 Article: "Eleven Tips on Getting More Efficiency Out of Women Employees"

    I remember when my grandmother had one of those ringers. She did have indoor plumbing, though, so that made it easier. So did the electric iron. I'm thinking about how hard my grandmothers worked in and out of the home and thinking about that rule that says that women employees don't tend to...

    TCM in the gym

    I don't think you're doing anything unethical, but I think some of your comrades might find it annoying. Would you like it if someone turned the TV to a program you hated and then hid the remote? Don't you think you'd figure out what that person was doing? I think first come, first served is...

    1943 Article: "Eleven Tips on Getting More Efficiency Out of Women Employees"

    My mother's mother was a farmer's wife who did chores, did the housework, took care of her three kids, and baked pies to sell. She occasionally worked outside the home as well as a cook. She and my grandfather boarded teachers to make more money. Busy woman! My dad's mother came to Wyoming as...

    1943 Article: "Eleven Tips on Getting More Efficiency Out of Women Employees"

    On The War (the Ken Burns production), a couple of black women said they moved to Sacramento and found jobs right away. One was a typist who was looking for more opportunity; she was from Kansas and said she'd have probably ended up working in a white woman's kitchen if she'd stayed there. Her...

    I think the war just speeded things up. Keep in mind that single women had been homesteading out West for decades and had been making inroads elsewhere as well.
