    Someone sent this to me and I thought...

    I don't just remember reading Nancy Drew, I remember wanting to BE Nancy Drew. Or maybe Trixie Belden... I wanted so badly in elementary school to get the neighborhood kids together and have a mystery club. Not sure what mysteries we might have actually found, but that didn't matter. I...

    The Paradox of the Well-Dressed Man

    I agree that there is definitely a paradox--most of the well-dressed men I see are self-centered, self-important business types who are either trying to impress with their wealth/success or heaven forbid, sell you something. In other words, conceit and arrogance run amock. I remember as a...

    Surviving the '50s, '60s...

    Caution: Read at your own risk. Post was formulated in an ironic environment. Hmm... I'm a little surprised not to have seen, in all the exchange re: car safety, the idea that there are things that just might be more dangerous than not wearing a seatbelt. What about speed, reckless driving...

    Things to "ooh" and "ahh" over.

    Vintage Bathing Suits

    They don't just bite, they plot against us and carry out mass attacks. They are also suspected in the untimely demise of both a hydrangea and an azalea in my yard. Nasty little buggers, those fire ants. :rage:

    Kids COLOR Photos 1938-'53

    That's the kind of thing I wonder, too. Wouldn't it be cool to be able to track down a few (or their progeny) and find out?

    It's 80 degrees, the skies are a lovely shade of blue and the sunlight is extremely bright. But you won't envy us later this summer when we're dodging hurricanes, mosquitoes and fire ants. lol

    Cassablanca, greatest script ever...

    I agree that movies and scripts are very subjective. A good script needs good actors or at least good acting, but then again, if it's got a director everyone likes....or if it gets enough publicity.... It's hard for me to compare contemporary films to those from the 30's and 40's, and when I...
