    The passing of my Hero...

    DanielJones and Shopgirl, I am so sorry! That is an awful blow even when it is not surprising. My thoughts are with you both! :(

    dear new neighbor

    Not to be a spoilsport, but I would make sure Animal Control won't put the dog down if they take it. Around here they do, and that's why I never reported my meth-dealing neighbor's dog. Now the dealers themselves? I called about them day and night. ;) I concur--I think you're almost...

    dear new neighbor

    Here's the problem: when you're too passive/nice, people like this think they can do whatever they want and if you don't report them to keep the peace (or minimize your chances of getting your car or home vandalized,) then there's absolutely no incentive for them to move. After our...

    dear new neighbor

    Oh HK, I feel your pain. 2 years ago, a drug dealer and her children moved in next door. After calls to Code Enforcement (for the couches left on my property--why do all these people have surplus couches?), CPS (for the verbal abuse I heard daily) and the police for the never-ending parade...

    Long Island Iced Tea

    May, this is hilarious! I hadn't had a Long Island Iced tea in ages, but had 2 of them just last week at Happy Hour. I was toasted by 6 p.m. and my "date night" with the Mister ended shortly thereafter. I'm a cheap drunk, evidently.

    Inappropriate-ness

    Oh my goodness, that is the worst! I used to live in a small town where this one woman used to ask me every time I saw her, "Are you pregnant?" After being mortified the first 3 or so times, I finally started saying, "No! Are you?" She finally stopped. I always worried that she (and others like...

    Spontaneity

    I'll be the spoilsport--I am uncomfortable with drop-in guests, even if they are not overnight! I like plenty of warning to get everything tidy and not feel so pressured. I wouldn't be able to enjoy their company if I didn't have enough time to prepare. However, I am pretty high strung so maybe...

    Does anyone else have difficulty sharing a bed?

    I wish this were an option in my life! I'm jealous. I cannot sleep with my husband as the slightest shift of movement wakes me up (plus, the snoring! Oy vey!) I'm a mess most mornings, since I don't think I've had an uninterupted night's sleep since about 1995.

    shopping rant

    Ha! I recently worked in a (non-furniture)store with a linen display on a bed on top of which was a sign: "Please do not sit on the bed." As I made my rounds, cleaning up here and there, I saw a customer sitting on the bed so I said, "I'm sorry, there's no sitting on the bed. There's a chair...

    end of the month food

    My parents were Depression-era kids and they LOVE Spam to this day. My dad, however, still refuses to eat corn chowder (which, evidently, made more than a few weekly appearances on the dinner table.) The funny thing about growing up with Depression-era parents is that mine stash food all over...

    Bringing service back to Department Stores?

    As someone who has worked retail for close to 25 years, I can tell you that I have used "Are you finding everything all right?" because a) people who may just be browsing don't feel bugged/stalked and b) it enables them to open up and ask questions about the merchandise without feeling like...

    Gin Lovers Unite!

    Hey, I'm with you, Mr. K.L. Bowers. Scurvy be gone! Bring on the nightly gin & tonic. Hey, Mike in Seattle, that teeth-chatteringly cold martini sounds fantastic. Yummm.

    the Brooch and the Pin

    tinytot, how I LOVE that butterfly pin! Those are all fantastic. Lady Day, add me to the list of fans of your bird pins. They're great! I have several pins & brooches. I have reptiles, frogs, a peacock and two vintage owls (one is enamel) that I recently found for an embarassingly low...

    How Much Makeup?

    :::Raises hand!::: I wear BE, so it doesn't look like alot of makeup but I always wear concealor, powder foundation, blush, a skin-toned eye shadow that I would marry if I could (I love it), eye liner, mascara and a colored lip balm. If I'm going to wear lipstick, I have to skip much of the...

    Makeup remover-anyone make their own?

    I just use olive oil too. I don't use a pad or anything, I just massage it in until my mascara yells "Uncle!" Then I do a light wash with castile soap to remove the oiliness from my face and I'm good to go. I've noticed that this method works well for me because I'm not tugging or wiping at my...

    Oil Cleansing Method

    I don't know how or why the olive oil works for my skin, but it does. After a brief dalliance with cold cream (I was seduced! I swear!) I went back to oil and within a few days my skin was looking good again. I admit, I am shallow enough to miss cute product packaging and shopping for skin care...

    Lauren Bacall is 84 today!

    She's still fabulous after all these years! There aren't too many like her any more.

    "Vintage" foods that are still with us today.

    Kassia, that's funny because they had Cornish Pastry on the menu and I passed it up because it didn't sound pie-like enough for my craving. My odd little dish of chicken gravy with phyllo just made me sad. Miss Neecerie, thank you so much for the recommendation! My poor little freezer will be...
