    I don't understand it??? Is this "Temu" Outfit being run by (gasp) Aliens?

    I don't understand it??? Is this "Temu" Outfit being run by (gasp) Aliens?

    Temu can't be that illegitimate, they are an advertising mainstay of the FL site... I don't know if the FL admin. has any say, but if so, I'll assume they've done their due diligence.

    How Was Your Day?

    Half way through yesterday my water trickled down to nothing. Apparently pipes frozen (North Carolina mountains) so called a plumber, They came out this morning and opened up the concrete chamber in the yard that encloses my well head. An hour with a propane heater and they got it thawed. I've...

    The End of the Collector Mindset

    I did a search of the FL and didn't really see a thread that addressed the postage stamps (and first-day covers) I collected in my youth. Now 60+ years later I have stock albums loaded with old and newer unused US stamps. No self-sticks and they're in great condition.... and essentially...

    Vintage roadside

    A local tourist trap going back to the 30's - I visited it too many times as a kid in the 50's. Parson's Trading Post (Lake Delton, Wisconsin) a.k.a the Wisconsin Dells

    Vintage roadside

    LARRIMAH WAYSIDE INN CARAVAN PARK (NT, Australia) - A must stop on the road from Darwin south to Alice Springs. Good camper hook-ups and a first rate aussie bar. That's my camper backed-in on the right (I spent 2 weeks in the outback with it 2004 ). The inn's noted for the Pink Panther...

    Loungers' Pets

    You all remember Ruby... she's been hunting hidden rats in a AKC-sanctioned "Barn Hunting" competition. Basically, it's following a scent to where several rats are hidden in a pile of hay bales. She needs to find them all within a 2-minute time period. To up her game, she's practicing in...

    Let's See Your Home Bar!

    Not really off topic, the first post didn't mention alcohol. Here's the coffee bar I built for my daughter using all recycled wood. The top box is an old mold from a torn down foundry in Cincinnati. The frame and legs are from 100+ y.o. old growth timber from joists and the drawers are vintage...

    Show us your Thrift and/or yard sale finds

    Found this beauty at an Easter Seal resale shop in Cincinnati - like Habitat for Humanities. I saw an article in a home magazine with a very similar piece. Very inexpensive. I bought it, but we had no use for it in our house. I listed it on FB Marketplace and it was gone in no time at all...

    Out Your Back Door

    Barred Owl - fairly common across the Eastern US and Canada. This fellow was perched outside our kitchen window, about 2 ft. from my bird feeders. Seemed curious, but not aggressive. The local birds didn't seem to appreciate their neighbor.

    Nostalgic Memories of Long Gone Retailers

    K-mart.... I thought these guys were gone from the US (maybe one store-front remaining). My wife and I were lamenting the loss and really enjoyed shopping there back in the day. Then, I made the trip to New Zealand and stumbled on a K-mart in almost every mall (anchor stores, not...

    What Did You Drink Last Night?

    Drambuie, neat.... I picked up a large bottle at the duty free shop in Aukland. In the past, I was often included in groups that were hosted for dinners sponsored by deep-pocketed pharmaceutical companies. When all were ordering foofoo deserts, I, and some like thinking friends, would...

    Post New Hats Here!

    I've been wearing an inexpensive vented hat I picked up in Australia about ten years ago. Almost lost it when my waders took me down stream while fly fishing in New Zealand two weeks ago. My daughter bought me an original Hills Hats oilskin hat (Style 247) made in New Zealand for the holiday...

    (Don't know if this has been done before but) Movies so Traumatizing You Could Only Watch It Once.

    1Midnight Express (1978): This hit me square between the eyes, as several years prior, in my early 20's, I was living alone working in a government capacity in South Korea and was frequently exposed to situations similar to those events that landed the young man in the movie in a Turkish...

    Can't figure out what I'm seeing

    I have no idea what is being towed on the interstate in Tennessee. I've seen a lot of odd devices - carnival rides, etc. - but I'm stumped. I thought maybe a dunk tank from a fair, but no top opening or chair. It appears to be an observation chamber of some type, but for what? Google images...

    Loungers' Pets

    Well, we're in the midst of the AKC agility trials. Ruby had a rough winter and is not fully up to her A game. As she's temporarily apartment bound, training is a struggle. The link goes to her training regimen...

    Some of my old electric fans

    I posted this 1st time around - 11/2021. This is an 8" blade, 3-speed Emerson Trojan.(c. 1911). Its body, basket and blades are all brass. At one time it was shiny, but someone in my household preferred the dark patina. Nonetheless, I still have it and use it. I had it rewired and...

    1971 Fiat Spider - Raced at SCCA Solo Slaloms at old Miller Park parking lot in Milwaukee, WI. I was non-competitive because I kept knocking cones over. I sold it when too many pieces started falling off due to rust. I bought it for $1.00 from a surgeon who needed it gone from under his...
