sorry, just have Marines. winter & the summer seersucker.

they seem not to acknowledge my silver plate pattern: Fair Oaks by Rockford Silver Plate.

Six Flags is filing for Chapter 11 if I'm not mistaken.

well, Zoo Atlanta is nice. If you like Pandas that is. If you're lucky, you might catch "Brew at the Zoo" where local microbreweries have beer booths set up at various spots in the zoo, so you drink with the wild creatures. Also, if you're one of those people who have never been to a Sonic...

oh, am i ever guilty of that... i will be looking at the clothing & hair, decor, etc and miss the plot (if there indeed is one) of any "period" movies. but, my sister will from time to time, ask me to put a particular "period" into terms she can relate to ("was this before or after Jane...

no kidding. thanks for the reminder...

If I weren't vintage, I'd probably be "geek chic." Comic books & skate board all the way!

it was just common sense; a virtue i think is quickly disappearing lately... as a side note.... i was shocked to visit my kin down in Georgia & ask where their recycling bin was. i got the "you're not from around here, are you?" reply. imagine if more people were more concerned with...

i grew up doing all that sort of stuff... turning off the water when you're brushing your teeth, using the Tupperware for lunches instead of plastic bags, turning off lights when you leave the room.... using a drying rack, all that good stuff. so, it's like any other day for me.

was the Spitfire a joint effort between Vickers & Supermarine?
