    BWAAAAAHHAHAHAHA! I'm Jennifer Lynn as well.....did your mom see "Love Story" too often too? She swears she didn't name me after that film, but my dad says otherwise......

    Show us your critters

    Such beautiful animals! This is Oreo. Her nickname is Eo. She was a stray that wandered into our backyard about 3 years ago. A really wonderful dog who adores the kids and me....she's a bit shy of males....we think she was beaten by one before she found us. She's our little cutie pie mutt!!

    Vintage clothes - where do I find them?

    Check out their website before you go. I've found that when I do go into the store, I don't get quite as good of a bargain as I do online......they also have an outlet store out in Allen too.

    4x4 - The Debate

    LizzieMaine: As my husband always says, "Go ahead, hit my Ford truck with your brand new Hummer...." That Ford by the way, is a 4x4. I ranted at the time he bought it that he didn't need one. We're in a metro area in Texas for crying out loud. And the only 'offroading' he does is when he...

    sunburns

    ok, I bit off topic but I agree that Silvadene works wonders. When I was 16 I decided to get my mom's '60s self tanning lamp down and sun myself on a rainy afternoon. I was about 10 inches away from it for about 20 minutes. Needless to say I had severe second degree burns. It really was...

    non orangey self tanners

    Amen! I, however, turn yellow without a tan. Rather, I turn that sallowy sickly color that we half bred Hispanics tend to do. I've used all the self tanners on the market just about and cannot abide the smell they leave on the skin even after showering. I do go in the sun but in marked...

    Show Us Your Purchases!

    lol....thanks. I actually wore it today and I got so many compliments...loads of stares though as I usually do with my clothing. I think I've come to the conclusion that even if it isn't truly '40s, I'm ok with it since it's such a great fit. And the fabric is ultra slinky rayon. I can't...

    Depression Era Frugality

    Rosie~my mom still does the whole 'oil/grease' saving thing to this day. Remnants of her growing up poor. But I will say that it gives the food you cook in it much more flavor. Although I can only stand to eat her fried chicken in it....lol

    Decodoll~gorgeous! I think my favorite color is slowly becoming navy blue.....hence, I should be getting this one in the mail soon. Hopefully by Wednesday so I can wear it for our anniversary dinner. I've been watching it on eBay for about a month now. I tried to sleep last Saturday night...

    Old fashioned names new again....

    :offtopic: a bit ironic considering it's the male that determines the sex of the fetus......

    Old fashioned names new again....

    I'm sorry to hear you lost your daughter. India Belle was going to be our daughters' name if we'd had one. It's one of the most beautiful names I can think of.

    Depression Era Frugality

    I don't know if you'd call it a "Second Depression" or not but my husband and his family lived through the farm crisis years in the 80's. - His mother, to this day will wash plastic baggies and plastic utensils. - She absolutely will not throw out any leftovers (this is interesting...

    Department Stores?

    Don't fret.....it's alive and well with some of the larger department stores. My husband only goes to one salesman to buy his suits-won't deal with anyone else. And the guy knows his stuff.....

    Was Your Hometown Retro?

    I grew up in Fort Worth too (Haltom City but we were always in Northside). Fort Worth is the type of town that although you know crime happens, I've never felt uncomfortable walking around anywhere (strange that I felt that way about NYC too). Haltom City was a small town when I was growing...
