    Terms Which Have Disappeared

    I haven't heard the word "telephone" in quite a while. Do folks still use the term "doorbell?" Haven't heard that one in a while either.

    Right now I'm watching "Cold Case" re-runs. I particularly like all the episodes with settings in the 1940s-1960s.

    Vintage Things That Have Disappeared In Your Lifetime?

    Sadly, all of the festive and ornate holiday (Christmas) revelry at schools and in the workplace have been snuffed out. Seasons greetings are just too offensive nowadays.

    Vintage Things That Have Disappeared In Your Lifetime?

    In education, great teaching has been replaced by common core techniques, strategies, and acronyms for the kids so they won't have to think too hard. All these measures just seem to confuse the kids more and make things far more difficult and time consuming for their teachers. Twenty years...

    What is your favorite aircraft of all time?

    My favorite right now is the A380, just because of its size and speed, kinda like a giant Cadillac.

    Terms Which Have Disappeared

    When I was a kid, my mother would go to the "butcher shop" weekly for fresh cutlets and whatnot. I hated it because of the smell. Nowadays, I find myself looking for a butcher shop just like the one my mom used to visit. Don't think I would mind the smell so much either.

    Is nothing sacred? Remaking Casablanca.

    Considering that so many people (even the younger generations) have had enough of the junk being released nowadays, Hollywood is ripe for some really good noir classic remakes.

    Folks you love to hate! Tell us your Favorite Film Villains!

    I have eagerly embraced many of the legendary villains. Some of them have gotten even better with time, compared to their current counterparts. AND there are those who I just can't stand! The following are to name a few: "Streetcar Named Desire" - Stanley Kowalski "Imitation of Life" (1959) -...

    I'm presently in the market for a black Main coon. I am in the Middle East right now and will be back in the States in June. I'd like to pick her/him up at that time.

    Lunch, Anybody?

    Is pulled pork sort of a new thing? I had never heard of it until about 7 or 8 years ago at, maybe, a Superbowl party. I don't eat pork, so I've never had such a sandwich as this. Am I missing anything?

    Vintage Things That Have Disappeared In Your Lifetime?

    Recess and PE class have been killed off. Now kids too often are obese, devoid of social and interpersonal skills, and suffering from ailments that only senior citizens used to have in the past.
