    "The Death of the Grown-up"

    The Wall Street Journal has an article on a new book called "The Death of the Grown-Up" by Diana West. Here is part of the article: Arrested Development Blame the '60s for America's perpetual adolescence? Nah, blame the '20s. BY JOHN LEO Tuesday, August 21, 2007 12:01 a.m. EDT In...

    How old is too old ?

    The other accoutrements might have had something to do with it. I rather doubt that red pumps with a navy suit or red loafers with jeans would have quite the same effect. BTW, the bus woman wasn't even wearing red shoes. They were black.

    I had never heard of the red shoe connotation.

    How old is too old ?

    Gentlemen of Downtown Denver I got off the bus at the same stop as the woman in the pleated skirt. I'm proud to say that while the men she passed stopped to look at her, none of them giggled or pointed or made snide remarks. A gentleman treats as woman as a lady because he is a gentleman.

    The Search For "That Song"

    There was an Acura ad several years ago in which someone sang a beautiful song about Key Largo. That was my introduction to Sarah Vaughn.

    How old is too old ?

    A woman on the bus this morning (7 a.m.) was wearing a red lace camisole, a pleated skirt that just covered her rear, black hose and high heels. She was 40 if she was a day. She had the figure for the outfit, but it just made her look older.

    Censorship rules.

    Since you ask, I saw the thread and knew it would be deleted. Why? It didn't have anything to do with the Golden Era. It had a level of crudeness that is out of step with the FL.

    How Does History Benefit You?

    First, that we are standing on a lot of shoulders. Second, it provides some perspective on the present, and something to compare it to. Third, it makes me feel a lot less like an odd duck for not fitting in with the Zietgeist.

    Children's Parties

    So that's what meatcake looks like. It looks like something from the Gallery of Regrettable Food.

    Five that are Seriously Overrated...

    We took out the Me, Myself and Irene DVD and put in the video Delirious: multi-millionaires having to wait for the cable guy and get their tires rotated at inconvenient times like the rest of us--now that was funny. Most of the time, though, I'm like Olive Bleu. I just don't think most of...

    Do you use one of those fancy solar dryers?

    I find that my line-dried clothes are stiff for only about 10 minutes after I put them on.

    Do you use one of those fancy solar dryers?

    Try one without sodium laurel sulfate.

    Five that are Seriously Overrated...

    A friend and I watched Me, Myself and Irene the other night. I should say, tried to watch. It was incredibly vulgar, and it wasn't even funny. [huh]

    As I watched this movie, I thought, Is this ever going to end? Blech!

    Appropriate Dress to Wear As Wedding Guest. Black? Red?

    I'd rent a costume when I got there.

    Cary Grant's Daughter Pens Book

    My mistake. He was married to actress Dyan Cannon. :o

    Names Of Love

    I tolerate "Darlin'" from my mother. (It makes me cringe to write the word.)

    Cary Grant's Daughter Pens Book

    It sounds like more of a tribute to her father. BTW, isn't Dianne Carrol (sp?) Cary Grant's daughter as well?

    Budgets

    I look at it this way. Cheap, faddish clothes are a false economy: they'll soon go out of style or fall apart. But timeless, well-made clothes are a good buy, even if they're rather expensive. Another false economy is buying someting just because it's on sale, regardless of whether it fits...

    I wll never understand my generation! Can someone please explain this to me

    Some people don't know any better. Maybe they are afraid to demand respect.
