    Have you flown in a vintage aeroplane?

    I flew just one time in a DC3. Never did land in one because I jumped out the door at 10,000 feet.

    Vintage candy that is still on the shelves

    Anyone remember "Bonomo's Turkish Taffy"? "Smack it and crack it" was the sales pitch. They came back 2 years ago after being gone for decades. You can buy them at Cracker Barrel restaurants and a few other places.

    Nothing but Seamed Stockings

    Please excuse my intrusion into the Ladies territory. My wife sells seamed stockings mostly on Ebay. She has many, many pairs. Anyways if you are looking for fairly heavy seamed stockings, look for "Supphose" brand support seamed stockings. They are semi-opaque and true fully fashioned...

    Spit and polish

    When I was required to have a "spit" shine I used Kiwi without a problem. Just polish your shoes normally, then use a cotton ball to apply additional polish. Dip the cotton ball with polish applied in ice water and rub it in a circular motion over the desired area until a "spit" shine appears...

    Song lyrics you messed up as a kid

    These eyes? I'm terrible about listening to the words when listening to my car radio. For the longest time I thought the song "These Eyes" was a Levi's commercial. I kept hearing "Levi's" instead of "These eyes".

    The best films no one has ever seen.

    Has anyone deen "Idiocracy"? Made in 2006 and only released to 125 theaters in the US. Very interesting concept. An Army experiment accidently puts a soldier into suspended animation for 500 years and when he wakes up he is tested and found to be the smartest man on earth because of the...

    Jeans

    Don't EVER shrink your denim jeans by wearing them in the bathtub!! A young woman was killed by her too tight jeans after wearing them in the tub! They just shrunk so much and were too tight to begin with and constricted her like an anaconda!! (Sorry, just an urban legend) LOL

    What Did You Drink Last Night?

    Aaaah! It was "Strega" for me. My Italian Grandpa gave me a taste of "Strega" when I was 5 years old and have loved it ever since. Strong, fiery with a hint of gasoline! Great straight or over ice. It'll make a man out of you.

    Watch band suggestions

    Deacon, are you sure your Seiko band is adjusted to its largest setting? Seiko's have an adjustment in the clasp to change the size a bit. It's very easy to do.

    Ladies watches

    Here's a lady's watch you might like. It's a Waltham from 1878. Probably older than you really want. It's an early watch, actually a converted pocket watch. Lady's watches from the 1900 to 1930 were often converted pocket watches. They are a bit larger and can be quite valuable. From 1940...

    Vintage Things That Have Disappeared In Your Lifetime?

    This is a fairly recent loss. Royal Lunch Milk Crackers in the purple box. they were discontinued by Nabisco about 2 years ago. They were around for about 90 years and a favorite when I was a kid. We would crunch them up and put them in weak coffee for breakfast. The mixture was mushy and...

    Ebay seller asking for more $ after I paid

    Personally I wouldn't volunteer to pay the extra shipping after the deal was made. You both agreed on the item price and shipping costs beforehand. This seller has over 500 feedbacks. They are not new to Ebay and shipping costs. I have on occasion underestimated shipping costs when selling on...

    Getting by during the Great Depression

    My Mom told about throwing rocks at the passing freight trains in hopes that the engineers and firemen would throw coal back at her. Then she would pick up the coal and bring it home for the stove. I suspect the engineers and firemen were onto the scam. My Dad told about buying broken pasta...
