    Splint Etiquette Question

    I recently started wearing a splint in my mouth as a result of an accident. I wear it when I am doing any sort of resistance exercise, including dancing. It's kind of hard for me to talk with the thing in, though. Some people say they cannot tell the difference, but others keep saying, "Huh?"...

    Vintage Turning Point

    This reminds me of a thread where someone wondered why older folks asked if he bought his car new. His car was older than he was. They just aren't doing the math before they ask, I guess.

    TCM Star of the Month: Rita Hayworth

    I thought Hayworth was great in "Gilda." She not only acts, but sings and plays guitar. Surely, they'll show this one. :)

    Required Music Collection

    For male and female singers, I'd substitute Sam Cooke for Frank Sinatra (I can hear Sinatra on the satellite radio anytime) and Anita O'Day for Holliday (I'm just not a fan of Holliday). But I love Ella, Sarah and big bands. As for classical music, I prefer Dvorak, Liszt and Debussy to the...

    Suit etiquette: What would you do?

    It may take him a minute to feel his collar and catch on. In real life, if I were to say anything, I'd just say, "Your collar is standing up."

    Planting from Seeds

    Did you start the tomatoes indoors, about 6 weeks before it was time to plant them outside? If so, did you use a fluorescent light a few inches above the seedlings?

    Suit etiquette: What would you do?

    I once told a coworker that her collar was up. She told me it was supposed to be that way (but she didn't take offense). I'd still say something, though. Maybe you could have complimented him on the interfacing: "That's a great jacket. I wish ladies' suits had such good interfacing on the...

    If it doesn't fit HERE...and HERE...it doesn't fit

    Very young airmen might not have been finished growing when they received their jackets. I saw this when I worked at the Air Force Academy: suit jackets fit the freshmen, but were rather snug on the seniors. Some of the other airmen might have lost some weight in the service.

    Whirlpool Fabric Freshener: Cleaning It

    It can't be a coffee maker. I don't drink coffee. :D BTW, it helps to clean out your iron with vinegar every now and then, too. (But since I've had the fabric freshener, I think I've only gotten out my iron once. Yea!)

    Planting from Seeds

    What happens to them? (I've grown a lot of tomatoes from seed, so I might be able to help.)

    Does your library have a web site? If so, you may be able to do your search online instead of waiting at the library.

    Planting from Seeds

    Yesterday I started seed trays of petunias, marigolds, coreopsis, salad greens, and some other plants. I'm also going to plant some other flowers and herbs directly into the ground. Does anyone else plant from seed?

    Strange questions about your town

    A lot of U.S. territories aren't even shown on U.S. maps. A friend of mine once asked, "What country does Puerto Rico belong to?" :o

    Does Anyone Have Lint Removal Tips??

    Whenever my dog sees me using the tape roller, he looks at me like, "Well, what about me?" (He likes having his hair combed, his teeth brushed, and getting a nice warm bath, too. Go figure.)

    Some folks will bet on anything

    I thought Heather Mills did a terrific mambo. She looked like she had a lot more confidence than she did the previous week.

    Looking for vintage-y new purses...

    I don't like lots of geegaws, either. How about this purse: You asked for simple! (From talbots.com) Maybe you'll like this: Also from talbots.com. (Just as pricey as the first one, though, but their stuff wears a long time. If you sign up on their e-mail list, they'll send word...

    Whirlpool Fabric Freshener: Cleaning It

    If you have a Whirlpool Fabric Freshener, you have to clean it about every six months with vinegar. But it stinks up the house! The first time I did this, the smell of the vinegar made my eyes water. My suggestion: take it outside, plug it in, pour the vinegar in the cup, zip it closed, and...

    Summer Camp- Help!!

    Just recently, I made plans to take a trip to the place where I went to art camp. I drew and painted, and still have some of my paintings. Right now, I'm looking at a wire letter holder I bought. Maybe the boys would enjoy working with wire and sautering.

    Yeah, what cell phone? (I do like my electronic ignition, though.)
