Newest Disney Wedding Dresses for 2012 {Shopping Articles Blog}

Feb 18th 2012 9:36AM Hmm...in the Disney movie, anyway, Cinderella was a long-suffering pliant drudge, sighing "oh, me!" until fate removed her from the kitchen and set up the handsome prince to sweep her off her feet. Rapunzel, in the classic tale, got knocked up by HER handsome prince....The dresses? Same old piles of fluff. Will that strapless thing NEVER go away??? 9 out of 10 brides in the Sunday paper are porky armed ladies stuffed into the strapless uniform. Very unflattering, and disrespectful to the church if that's where the wedding takes place.

Fashion Styles That Make You Look Older and What to Wear Instead {Shopping Articles Blog}

Nov 20th 2011 10:45AM OK, Joel. You have a point. I'll try to look and dress better for you. When I'm pushing a grocery cart through the slush into the grocery store, I'll put on some cute zippy heels instead of the aging big white mom sneakers. When I'm carting my elderly mom to yet another doctor's appointment and sit out in the office for an hour waiting, I'll stuff myself into a sleek dark pencil skirt, or maybe skinny jeans and knee high boots. When I'm out shovelling snow, that boring old turtleneck will be in the rag bag as I display my cleavage in a sparkly camisole. ... Joel, if you think *I* am going to do any of this, or even bother to change clothes three times a day so I don't look frumpy when I go elsewhee, you can bite me. And where is it YOU hang out looking at the frumps? Are you a Walmart greeter? A grocery store bag boy? Let's hear what keen outfits YOU dress up in, Joel! I do love a sharp-dressed man, but I seldom see one looking at caulking in Home Depot or getting a hot dog at the 7-11.

Photo Gallery: Abandoned Americana {Gadling}

Oct 26th 2011 12:21PM I don't know what that is all about, or why you are responding to my post... I DID live through the 60's and 70's, and I DO remember the good old days before the countryside was razed for McMansions and strip malls. Yes, life did seem better in the past in a way, but we were fairly well off and educated.. I see things like the old silos and it's like a glimpse of the past, gone and near forgotten. What is specially interesting to me is walking through any number of public parks and looking at the brick and stone walls and stairs built back in the 30's. I went to the zoo, was walking along a walkway made of lumber, through the park - looking down below were old, overgrown brick steps leading down a hillside. They were mysterious, and beautiful, like out of a fairy tale.

Oct 22nd 2011 9:56AM "When did the last customer leave?" Oh, he's still in there, my friend. He's still there. You can only see him at night....

These are wonderful pictures! I live out in the 'burbs and always notice abandoned houses, and there are still standing a few silos from old barns, surrounded by tiger lillies from a long-ago garden. There's an old, peeling silo in a patch of woods that looks a hundred years old - on either side, there's a Chinese restaurant and a Target.

Crock Pots Under $55 {Shopping Articles Blog}

Oct 8th 2011 9:46AM I have prepared hundreds, yes, hundreds, of meals in an old fashioned ceramic crockpot I bought at a thrift store 10 years ago. (Though it was like brand new at the time.) Should this crockpot expire, I'll be hunting for another one in the thrift store (there are always crockpots on the shelf), or taking one off the hands of my many friends and relatives who have an unused one (a wedding present) stashed away in the back of their cupboards.

Best Things to Buy in September {Shopping Articles Blog}

Sep 4th 2011 10:33AM That tired old denim jacket again? There are literally thousands of them hanging on every rack in every thrift store throughout the land, for about $7, and I think this is because they go in and out of fashion so often. I don't like them because the sleeves are always waaaaaaay too long. And what are you supposed to wear these jackets with? Certainly not jeans! Because I've been told that is a major, major, grievous error of judgment and if you wear matchy-matchy denim you might as well go live in a mini-van parked behind the high school....

Dog found at summit of Kilimanjaro {Gadling}

It Happened Last Night: Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen {Stylelist}

Jul 15th 2011 8:04AM Actually....that might be news. It must take a while for all those lattes and lettuce leaves (washed down with vodka and assorted mystery pills) to build up enough mass ...

Jul 14th 2011 10:56PM Yes! Yes, larry, I, too, share your thoughts. Yes, what a DIFFERENCE it would make. My day, my week, my whole world would be ever so much the better if only they showed their teef! If only, if only.....
