    Death of a Newspaper

    Our town is very small but we are under 10k in circulation. Worked for the state newspaper giant daily once and their business has suffered. The once massive Sunday edition of the mega news giant now takes a mere few minutes to read because it's dwindled down in content and size. But for our...

    Death of a Newspaper

    I am actually the managing editor of our community newspaper, and our paper is doing fine. Keep in mind, we are a Southern rural community but we are doing well in our circulation numbers and ad copy. The big dailies of neighboring larger cities are suffering though. There are some challenges...

    What's for Dinner?

    I do prefer a sweeter taste. Totally forgot about adding some honey to the sauce. Good idea. Will have leftovers tonight. Might add a few kicks to the sauce for a repeat.

    What's for Dinner?

    Thanks Babydoll! I will try that next because the family said they wanted to keep it in the meal rotation. This suggestion will jazz it up next time.

    What's for Dinner?

    Ran into the common problem of missing one ingredient to make a recipe. So...I took what I had and ran with my own creation. Beef and cabbage Stir Fry: Browned ground beef with garlic and oil. Added about half a head of cabbage and peppers. Cooked until veggies were tender and beef cooked...

    What Are You Reading

    I am currently reading The Life and Death of Pretty Boy Floyd by Jeffery S. King. I am very interested in this piece so far. I am only in the third chapter but the opening selection goes into great detail of Floyd's funeral. I didn't realize how much the general public responded to his services...

    What's for Dinner?

    I suggest that others try this next time on their burger. We topped our with sauted onions with bacon and blue cheese. All the flavors made for a fantastic supper this evening.

    Palm Beach Neckties

    Looking over this advertisement from 1950, I really like the third one from the left. It makes me smile :) Perhaps a great Father's Day present? I am sure the hubby could use one :)

    Post War Blues, Soul & Rock. 1945 - 1975

    I am a huge fan of Lead Belly's music. Although he passed in 1949, many of his later recordings are some of my favorites. His version of The Pines (or Where Did You Sleep Last Night) is one that I really like to listen to during a night on the porch with friends. The song made more a appearance...

    Annette Funicello RIP

    For some reason when I was a little girl, I loved to watch the VHS my mother had of "The Monkey's Uncle." I would watch it over and over again. I always thought she was such a beautiful, wholesome person, even in my young, child mind. From watching reruns of the Mickey Mouse Club to the beach...

    Q for ladies who shampoo less than daily

    I use to shampoo my every day because it was so thick and would look dry if I didn't. However, I have started vintage-styling my hair just about everyday now (not counting my lazy days when I stick it in a ponytail). I have found that using a setting lotion on a wet set works well for about...

    Hats in Jackson Mississippi?

    Off topic...but welcome to the Lounge! I am near the Jackson area as well! It's harder for me to find more of the vintage "wants" in such a rural area but good luck with your hat purchase! The Lounge has many members who are very helpful.

    What gives you that vintage feeling?

    Great thread!! Wearing my vintage apron while I make a dish from a vintage cookbook and pausing for a moment to yell out the kitchen door for the hubby and kids to come inside for dinner. relaxing in the evening with no television, hopefully open windows, reading a vintage magazine. Love the...

    Guests of the Third Reich

    My husband took me to the museum for our anniversary. I highly recommend that anyone check the place out. We spent all day there, complete with the 4D movie presentation beforehand. Can't wait to return! Its worth a visit from anywhere.

    MOB CITY / L A Noir [TNT]

    I read where they were doing six episodes of it, but forgive me if I missed an airing date. Is that released yet?

    Show us your hair do's....

    Thanks for the comments! Now that I am starting to get a little more use to the setting lotion, I am excited about the different styles I can attempt. I admit, it still is a work in progress with every set, but I am slowly learning. Judging by some posts from other ladies, setting your hair...

    Ken Burn's the Dust Bowl

    I love his documentaries, and I am fascinated by this subject matter. I can remember reading about the Dust Bowl in school but never really getting a firm grasp of it. Watching and reading a few other works on it, things were put into perspective. I am looking forward to Burns' take on it since...

    Show us your hair do's....

    I finally went out and purchased my first thing of Lottabody, and I love it!! Setting lotion was the key thing I was leaving out with my styles. The first night I set my hair in a wet set with sponge rollers and slept on it overnight. I admit, I was scared the next morning when I did my...

    What Did You Drink Last Night?

    After some grilled venison for supper, the hubby and I settled in on the porch to watch a rolling thunderstorm come in with a glass of Jack and Coke. Nothing special but still a special evening. :)

    What's for Dinner?

    The kids had hectic schedules last night so it was a quick supper in our home. Bacon sandwiches. I know it doesn't sound like too much but sometimes a pan of hot bacon layered over some fresh bread is just the ticket.
