I'm here trying to capture my lost adulthood.

I wish I could find a bar that was quiet enough for a conversation! As it is they are usually blaring music at jet-airplane decibel levels--it's like trying to talk in a flock of squawking parrots. It would also be nice to find a bar where people didn't dress in underwear. The whole...

The medicine that keeps me alive wasn't invented until relatively recently. Unless I took a lifetime supply with me, or a means of manufacturing it from raw ingredients, I'd quickly succumb and probably die within a few years. If I could bring the medicine...? I'm tempted by the thought of...

I am fishbelly white and burn easily, and I live in Florida, on the "Sun Coast"! I have found that the sunblock I like best is Coppertone's WaterBabies. (Here's a link: http://www.coppertone.com/detail_wb_50spectra.aspx ) I use this sunblock every day under my makeup, and have never had my...

The Hatter has one of those; it is really striking!

I can't dance or drive stick shift--I'm too uncoordinated. I like some hip-hop and rap, especially The Beastie Boys and Ta-Shma. I often use hip, geeky nerdcore expressions like "giinormous" and "It's got electrolytes!" My inclusivist social attitudes (like hanging around in racially...

I heard Babylon, too, and had this great mental image of a guy with a rocket zooming down the streets of ancient Babylon causing everybody to stare.

That's what seems logical to me, especially with brimless hats...I was always perturbed by the teacher telling me I wasn't allowed to wear a hat in class, cause that's supposed to be a rule for boys!

When I was a little girl in school in the 80's, the teachers had a hard-and-fast rule against wearing hats, any kind of hats, indoors. But it seems to me that ladies' hats would have to have been worn inside during the Golden Age, or the hairdos would have been ruined! Who's right on this bit of...

Among people with odd attractions to past decades? Not as infrequently as one might think; there are some weird correlations going on out there.

You can see about 6000 stars with the naked eye...

I think cads are overrated; I was married to one for a while, and behind all the wit and self-promotion was just a rather insecure, sad little man who deserted me at the moment I needed him most. Now I am with Walrus*, a true gentleman, who is loyal and romantic and believes in things like...

Mouthwash is another alcohol-containing product that ought to be kept out of toddlers' reach--especially since it tastes good!

(belated) Thank you all for the welcome! Soon after I found this enclave, everything became hectic for a while, but I'm back now (though no longer in Seattle).

Oh man...I wish I had a time machine; I can think of someone who'd like some good replica documents....
