    Missing posters

    I have also heard this, Sheeplady. Sadly, some very knowledgable posters have left that way. Kind of why I brought it up.

    Beauty Bargains

    Bumping this up to revive it, perhaps. If you have a CVS near you they have the AirSpun powder on 75% off clearance in MD.

    Missing posters

    I know there was a thread on this somewhere else that turned into a horrible slug-fest, but I really have noticed that some of the most loyal and helpful posters here have just totally disappeared. What gives? Are they being driven away or just losing interest in the hobby? They are not going to...

    Are Classy Restaurants Lowering Dress Code Standards in Your Area?

    Babygirl - How do you "know" HE had long hair and a beard? I don't believe we have any reliable photographic evidence of what "HE" looked like. However, I feel confident that he would dress according to the location, situation and social setting appropriate at the time. I don't favor the toga...

    What Does The FL Think of So-called Black Friday?

    There is no product on the face of the earth that would entice me into stores on Thanksgiving OR the Friday after. Sadly, the market will decide if stores remain open on Thanksgiving or not. Lots of people may SAY they won't shop that day, but we'll see who does show up. Those of us who do care...

    Carryon Luggage

    Wheels, absolutely! They are lifesavers considering how many lines you have to stand in lines, etc. Get one with good sturdy wheels, esp. ones that revolve all the way! It has become dog eat dog in the overhead bins so don't get the cheapest one, but if you aren't going to travel much don't...

    Would you attend an event or dinner alone?

    There seems to be a false assumption that EVERYONE is part of a couple or pair. Not so. And not being in one does not mean that life comes to a halt. While I would hesitate to eat alone in a really fancy rest. I would definitely not hesitate to go everywhere else alone.

    Abandoned: Mark Twain Branch Detroit Public Library

    I'm rather amazed Detroit even has a single library at all, in light of their dismal economic condition. On another note, I heard something about a town wanting to change the name of their Ernie Pyle High School as nobody remembers who Ernie Pyle was !

    What is your favorite red lipstick brand/shade?

    Besame just announced a new red lippy called American Beauty. Looks good, but I don't like their new samplers. The previous one had little pots with lots of sample! Mary

    Are FLers opimistic about the future?

    I must agree with Dr. Strange. Both the past and the future must always be a combination of good and bad, warts and all. Many people are struggling to hold back the huge negative changes coming due to the causes he mentions. All said, I for one, am glad I won't be around when the oil starts to...

    Living a Ration Book Life

    True, but in WWII there WAS a huge black market problem all over the US. Rationing in America was done largely to maintain some control of distribution of material shortages. It never reached the level of desperation found in British wartime rationing (and postwar rationing, too). I pray we...

    Etiquette of attending WWII events in vintage?

    Go, and have a ball! I also do civilian and there is not a single event I go to where they are not delighted to have a civilian, esp. a woman, show up. Even at military events it is really critical to have the civilian/homefront experienced represented. Modern girls are esp. interested in the...

    Looking for London shops stocking Bettie Page, Trashy Diva and Stop Staring

    Sorry to hijack this topic, but i am considering a trip to the UK this year and would love to go to a big WWII reenactor event over there. Can anyone direct me to the biggest and best events (esp for civilians/arp) or a site which gives info on the events. You over there have so many wonderful...
