The good vintage life = eco friendly!
I read once that in places where there was a refundable deposit on bottles, vagrants would dig through trash cans, making a mess, to look for bottles to return.- Paisley

Why Did my Mother Hate the 40s So Much?
I read somewhere that at the beginning of WWII, people questioned whether those skinny soda jerks would be capable of fighting and winning a war.- Paisley

I don't think it's ever revealed in the movie why the claws came out, and I don't think it's important. Their history as I see it: they were crazy about each other, but needs went unmet, illusions were shattered, and hearts got broken. If you've been through that ringer, you can understand why...- Paisley

The E-mail I Sent to Nancy Sinatra, Sirius DJ... ...went thus: First, let me say that I love Frank Sinatra. His music (especially "That's Life" and "My Way") has encouraged me during rough times. I have so many CDs of his that I've even given some away. However, I've reached Sinatra... -
Why Did my Mother Hate the 40s So Much?
Truckin' is one of the moves in the Trankey Doo (a swing line dance). Our teachers said that dancers from back then say that dancers today just don't get it quite right.- Paisley

Why Did my Mother Hate the 40s So Much?
My mother lost her second child c. 1949 due to, she says, negligence of the doctor. Then there was the time that she had an operation and the doctors put her intestines back in wrong. :eek: My dad took her out of the hospital bed and carried her out, and took her to a Catholic hospital. One...- Paisley

Why do I hate the 1970s so much?
It makes me think of those rust-colored wahing machines for sale now. The rust will just blend in. I guess that's a good thing. You might enjoy the book Interior Desecration by Jim Lilek. He also has a web site that shows some hideous 70s decor.- Paisley

It must be raining somewhere, right?!
It was raining hard here yesterday. I was surprised to see so many people with no hat or umbrella getting soaking wet. (This was first thing in the morning, presumably right after people had gone out the door.) :confused:- Paisley

Mission Impossible?: Finding reliable home appliances & electronics
I agree with the reliability of Sony--I've had my Sony boombox for over 10 years. I also like Kenmore appliances. My Kenmore microwave is over 20 years old. Another solution might be to go to a good used appliance store. I bought a portable dishwasher at such a store a few years ago for...- Paisley

I think one of the DJs where I dance has a bigger collection of music than their entire standards channel. So there's the Who channel, the Howard Stern Channel, the Elvis channel, the Martha Stewart Channel, et al., and now the Sinatra channel. One complaint I often hear about commercial... -

Siriusly Monotonous
If you subscribe to Sirius satellite radio, you probably know that there's a station that's gone from Swing Street to Standard Time to Siriusly Sinatra. I think it's gone downhill. I like Frank Sinatra, but I don't want to hear him five times an hour. If I did, I could just put on a CD. And a CD...
