I randomly chose 1943 and found out this could be really pleasant rainy day diversion. Thanks for posting this! :) A. Edited to add: I'll bet their discount wares weren't the same as our discount wares today, quality wise.

Hi MegamiOrchard, I am in the same boat as you. I have to wash my hair everyday too. Also the very straight, fine, flyaway hair too. I have spent years just braiding it and forgetting about it. I have a hairdresser appointment this Thursday, probably the third one in my entire life...

Pretty Pedestrian Really We met at work. Started dating after about two months, married and have been together almost 20 years now. We are growing closer all the time. :)

My Parents My mother would refer to a woman that in today's lingo would be a twit, as a Dumb Bunny. My father who became exasperated at his children .05 seconds after getting in the car with them would say, "I don't want to hear another peep out of you!" To which my sister and I would say...

My husband would make good use of this, but it is too small. Nice coat, good luck! A.

I am reading Cold Sassy Tree, by Olive Ann Burns. The story takes place at the beginning of the 20th century. The first person narrative is of a grandson who's grandfather has just buried his wife and elopes with another woman. Very scandalous. So far it is quite enjoyable, the southern...

This town even had an Opera House!

Here's the motel: See the tile mounted bottle opener?

For your perusal: My most recent trip out-of-town, working of course. But I thought you might enjoy a few photographs of Abbeville, South Carolina. A couple of pictures of my 50's era motel, not recommended, except for the brave at heart. Loved the tile work in the bathroom and the fact...
