What's in Your Handbag?
The purse I carry is medium sized I think. I couldn't carry a little one because my wallet is big enough to knock someone out! No makeup in mine. I don't like the way the stuff feels on my face so I never wear it except on very special occasions. The aforementioned wallet, a wee little...- Dis

The Age of Profanity
Culture defines what is considered 'profane' just as it defines what 'well-dressed' is. In the highlands of Papua New Guinea there is a group where the well-dressed man wears a gourd secured by a string to cover the family jewels -and that's it. Would that fly in the US? You'd get picked up...- Dis

To Avoid Leads to A "Void"?
This forum is considerably freer in the discussion of politics and religion than the forum I administrate. It's a huge forum with 16 Admins and 22 moderators. We found even the mere mention of a politician or a religious statement can spark off a flame fest. Most of our members are teens or...- Dis

Sex in media boosts teen promiscuity-study
I was pretty young when my mom told me about the birds and the bees. It wasn't a 'sit down and let's have a talk" sort of thing. It was a nonchalant thing mentioned while doing household chores. My reaction was "eeew". Mom said it wasn't something I needed to worry about until I was married...- Dis

The Age of Profanity
When I hear someone swear constantly, it does not particularly offend me. It does affect how much respect I have for that person. They sound like a blithering idiot when they pepper their speech with expletives. Curse words are 'special situation' words in my eyes. There are situations when...- Dis

The Perfect Hat...
I was never the hat wearing type until recently. I really wanted to start dressing up and a hat just makes me feel much dressier. I took me a bit to get used to seeing my reflection with a hat. I do know that what type of hat you can wear depends on your face type. Wide brims look better...- Dis

Ladies with pipes
I like the smell of a pipe and I like the smell it leaves in clothes as opposed to cigarettes which smell ghastly. I've never smoked and I am unlikely to ever start but if I did it would probably be a pipe.- Dis

Where do FL readers stand on tattooing?
I wouldn't get one because of the way they look when they get old. They get 'fuzzy' with time. Some tatts can be tasteful or carry personal meaning for the wearer. They look fine with everyday wear. I think they should be in places where you can't see them when you get dressed up. Tattoos...- Dis

Raising Children--Retro in a Modern World
I had a lot of time to think about how I was going to raise my kids. Hubby and I met in college and did not marry until we both had our degrees. For hubby that was a three-year master's degree. Consequently, I was considerably older than most of my peers when I got married and when I had...- Dis

Naff today...
That explains why I'm seeing those giant plastic framed glasses at optical boutiques. You know the ones with the crooked temples that connected in the bottom corners of the frame and the lenses so large that your eyebrows were inside the frame. They were usually some ghastly shade of pink too...- Dis

Mystery: So true! I wish it were true of women too. :( Rebecca: He is good looking! I just hadn't seen him outside of those black glasses he wore. My man has those sharp features and full lips too -even though he's blond haired and blue-eyed. He has gorgeous cheekbones too.- Dis

Enjoying a cup of tea
Earl Grey is my absolute favourite tea. It has be flavoured with real oil of bergamot. There was one major brand I turned my nose up at recently because it was artificially flavoured. I think it was Twinnings which shocked me. I like Bigelow the best. For me making tea is a science. Like...- Dis

Time for another "what book are you reading?" thread...
Recently read: Great Expectations, Jane Eyre and Dracula. GE was new to me. I'd read the other two books before. I'm the sort who will reread a book if I really liked it. I'm currently reading Pride and Prejudice. I love Austen's books and have read them all a number of times. I also do semi...- Dis

That's where he has it. A nice patch on each temple. And he's starting to get a streak over his brow too. Yum! He has a very closely trimmed beard as well and it getting quite silver. The shade is very pure too, not yellowy. His poor head swells something else when I tell him how good he looks!- Dis

Brains are an absolute must. He's gotta be smart. That's sexier to me than anything. Same faith is vitally important. Other things that I like on a man are nice hair, fine and shiny. I find silver hair very sexy. I like broad shoulders and taller than me, artistic hands, sparkling eyes, nice...- Dis

Vintage Stoves
Stunning! I cooked on a vintage gas stove for ages and refused to buy a new one because I hated the dinky burners on them. My stove did have the disadvantage of having a very small oven and some mice got up in the wall of it and tore out the insulation so I had to get a new one. They do make...- Dis
