    Autumnal Thoughts........

    I'm still waiting for Autumn and have at least a month to go. For the most part I'm happy with the lack of seasons. I've shoveled snow exactly once in my life and I don't remember that fondly. I have a picnic on the beach on Christmas Day. My complaint right now is that it's so stiflingly hot in...

    Vintage Things That Have Disappeared In Your Lifetime?

    Seeing that story makes me add common decency to the list of vintage things that have disappeared in my lifetime. When my mother caught the Prince Albert prank we were punished immediately. None of the kids who pulled the pranks I was involved in would have thought to do something so malicious...

    Vintage Things That Have Disappeared In Your Lifetime?

    You're absolutely right when you say that was a crime and not a prank. The type of prank phone calls I'm referring to are the harmless ones my brothers and I made. We would call a random number and ask if their refrigerator was running. If they said yes we would tell them to go catch it. We...

    Vintage Things That Have Disappeared In Your Lifetime?

    I got curious enough to look and Found that Prince Albert is still made but it's no longer in a can. The tins are collectibles these days. Amazon is currently advertising Prince Albert in a can. I admit my brothers and I didn't know what it was when we were asking the question.

    Favorite Historic Buildings or Places

    I've have often referred to the Alamo as my Alamo. I know I don't really own it but my favorite joke is that I do. My all time favorite building is Denman House in Denman Estate Park. The house was built in 1937 and almost nothing has changed. My husband and I will renew our wedding vows next...

    Vintage Things That Have Disappeared In Your Lifetime?

    I might be the only one who remembers this fondly but prank phone calls have disappeared. The ones my brothers and I did were harmless such as calling to ask if someone's refrigerator was running or if they had Prince Albert in a can. It was also interesting to see what our friends came up with...

    My "Wonderful" Life

    Chiming in rather late here, but may I ask if you ever filed complaints with your state's labor board? It won't help you now but it might keep someone from walking in your shoes in the future. I'm truly sorry for the identity theft. I've been a victim and I've worked in the field and I think...

    DEATHS ; Notable Passings; The Thread to Pay Last Respects

    The movie scene I will always remember is of Michael Clarke Duncan in Armageddon. "I've been poked and prodded all day, now someone wants to ask me a lot of questions. Can't I just get a hug from one of you people?" and he's in tears when he asks this. Rest in peace Michael Clarke Duncan. You...

    What's In Your Bathroom Library?

    The WC is where I keep the fashion magazines I subscribe to. Harper's Bazarr, Vogue, Allure and Glaomour. My husband has often told me that's exactly where they belong.

    New Ladies and Gents Step Forward

    My name is Nikki and I live in San Antonio TX. I'm currently in Galveston TX for a month long vacation. I'm in love with the fashion and hairstyles of the 1940's and will one day get to the hair salon for a classic 1940's style. I'm not sure what else to say here besides I'm sorry for not seeing...

    What ever happened to station wagons?

    I've driven two station wagons in my life and loved both of them. The first was a 1984 Pontiac and the second was a 1999 Ford Taurus. The wagons did everything my dad used his Ford F150 for and without the cost of gas, insurance or maintenance. You can still find a Volvo that's new enough to...

    My favorite wool pin up sweater and my 1950's purse. They always give me a vintage feeling.
