    I, too, am very sorry for your loss. Pets keep us whole sometimes, I think. Please accept my sympathy. Justaktty

    Cloth Diapers?

    On my youngest, who just turned 25 (yrs old), I did cloth diapers. I didn't necessarily like it, as it was sometimes inconvenient, but the child just could not wear the disposables of the day. For her, paper diapers equalled horrific diaper rash. Clothies ...no problem. So, I got diaper...

    Top 5 WW2 movies

    It would be hard to narrow it down to five, but, I love The Great Escape The Longest Day (may be slightly inaccurate, but can't beat John Wayne) Since You've Been Gone SPR BOB and the list goes on and on from there. I just counted, and I have about thirty WWII movies in my personal...

    the Brooch and the Pin

    Add me to the list of..."what IS the difference tween a pin and a brooch?" I've checked around on google a bit, and can't seem to find a clear answer. I hope someone here, perhaps an owner of one of these fabulous pieces, knows the answer. Justaktty

    Pampering

    Ohhh...absolutely right about haircuts! I would give up a lot of other stuff to keep getting good haircuts, and decent coloring. I am of an age now where both of those things are crucial to being able to walk out the door in the morning! Justaktty

    The fall of the phone

    The people who are cutting me off on the road, while babbling on cell phones, drive me nutty. I hate the fact that their self absorption is endangering me. I also wonder what on earth is that important. Soon, that will be illegal in this state, so I'm happy about that. And yes...

    The Ration Book Diet

    Well, thank you again for doing the figuring. I had printed out the various government brochures, and was trying to mathmatically arrive at some "golden mean". Since I'm not a math person, I wasn't really getting anywhere, so you rescued me from sitting around with piles of stuff trying to...

    The Ration Book Diet

    Anyone doing this? Is anyone still doing this? I'm curious about updated results, Lizzie Maine? Is this something you can continue indefinitely? Ok, I mean I know that it was continued in various forms throughout the War, which no doubt *seemed* indefinite back then, but...how IS it going...

    The fall of the phone

    I hate the cell phone era for its insistence on instant accessibility. I'm old enough to remember non cell phone times, and I deeply appreciate being unreachable when I don't wish to be found. Yes, I own a cell phone, so that my adult kids can find me when they need me and I'm in the car or...

    Pampering

    pampering? It's interesting you should start this thread. I've just been thinking over my New Year's promises to me, and that's one of them...to find some way to pamper myself at least once a day. That's been sorely lacking for me in the last few years. I think I'm headed in the direction...
