    Myths of the Golden Era -- Exploded!

    Sad, but so true Lizzie. It is frightening how downright uninterested most people i know are (even well educated people) to talk about anything but the latest game and what they had for dinner last night!

    Films that left you with a sense of wonder and awe

    I have to add the Wizard of Oz, for me. Before DVD/VHS, they played Oz ONCE a year, so when it came on it was a real event, which i never missed. I still remember runnign into my mother's arms when i got so scared by seeing the evil Wicked Witch of the West! I would dance around on the run with...

    Government Girls

    Really enjoyed the article. I lived and worked in DC and spoke to several "government girls". What an exciting, exhilarating time to be in DC. It was really much more of a small, southern town than we can even imagine today. I know a woman who worked in DC for the WRAF encoding/translating and...

    Myths of the Golden Era -- Exploded!

    While this discrimination was not "de jure" is was definitely "de facto". Many women found their employment terminated when they wed or when the war ended. I have spoken to many women about these years and it was true. In addition, there was a strong social impetuos that married men...

    Harking for a simpler time.....

    I think there is good music all the time, if you look for it. Hopefully, the internet and sites like pandora, etc, and other free music sites (also youtube) can give people access to good music which will never, ever be played on commercial radio. Who, honestly, does not love Adele? Come on.

    Harking for a simpler time.....

    While i do appreciate that Welk truly was the last of his kind, i can't think of Welk without imaging a room full of blue haired nursing home residents listening to his weak renditions of swing hits and that guy with the phony leiderhosen and accordion. Too many girl groups and bad duets of...

    Lawrence Welk???? You are joking, I must assume, because LW WAS a joke, musically!

    WWII Reenacting Discussion Thread

    Not all reenactors are fat, 50 year old men. There are lots of non-combat roles that need to be better understood. As we always say, everyone played a part in the war effort. I do general (female) homefront civilian and civilian defense. There are many, many more ways to show how men of all...

    Time Marches On: Except in the Field of Cosmetic Surgery

    It's more than just plastic surgery. The airbrushing on mag covers has gotten totally outrageous! I saw a cover with Gabrielle Union, a truly beautiful young woman, and she had been brushed so much i could barely recognize her. We seem to be seeking perfection so much that we have reached...

    American History by British Authors ...

    Not WWII, but the American Revolution. A few years ago there was a series on PBS i think by a british historian about the Am. Rev. from the British point of view. Really quite fascinating to hear how the war was just one small part of a larger global war. Great perspective and i learned alot...

    I'm glad you don't work for me!

    how many years can a forum last? will you still be a active member in 10 - 15 years?

    It will last as long as some of our "heavy hitters" are able to stay up all night and pound on the keys. Our key group of posters don't seem to ever sleep or go to work!

    Sears might be going belly up

    Our Sears here in MD is just fine, but we do have probably the dirtiest, dingiest tired old Kmart in America. That store deserves to be closed! I hope Kmart does not drag the venerable old Sears with it! Mary

    Modern Male Identity Crisis

    Where is the ugliness? I really want to know. My statements were based on observations I have actually seen. The discussion about child support had a touch of venom in in\t, but noone objected to that. I smell hypocracy in your statements, sir.

    Modern Male Identity Crisis

    What is the difference between honesty and venom? Some of us study the past, but don't want to live there.

    Modern Male Identity Crisis

    As a lifelong feminist (not a dirty word), I am not rejoicing about men's downfall. Rather, I am sick and tired of being blamed for the fact the poor, sad white men are no longer king of the Jungle. It is not feminist's fault that so many men want desperately to marry their Mothers and can't...
