Opinions re: Out of Yesteryear?
Comments (7)Mine is about five years old and has suffered setbacks since going in the ground. It didn't like being in a pot (pot ghetto) so I planted it in a holding area. Almost lost it, moved it to the side of the shop where I've decided to put roses I want to keep but don't fit in the landscape. It is currently less than 12 inches tall but is spreading out. It has done much better in this spot and bloomed a lot but frankly, I'm underwhelmed and this one may meet the shovel yet. When I look at the thorns on this dude I cringe at the thought of pruning a five foot speciman. I think there are better whites out there....See MoreToday's blooms; Zombie, Evergreen, Jingle Bells
Comments (4)Kristi, I have the same ones blooming, with the exemption that my Jungle Bells is still not fully open, Evergreen is wonderful, and Zombie is showing it's second scape, with three flowers, originally, my little angel, not the amaryllis, my two year old, Mateo, likes the first flower that open and decided to take it, so now I have two flowers on the last scape and one in a glass with water. What can I say??? things happened, you can't controlled everything. I also love my kid, LOL!!!! most of the time, :o)...See MoreSmaller Homes/Apts of Yesteryear
Comments (22)We had the tiniest house (the family homestead) that we moved into to be with grandma after grandpa died. So there were 5, then 6 of us in that little house. Dad added a little onto it to make the living area larger, but honestly, now I don't know how we did it. We certainly never felt cramped, although we must have been. There was always someone bustling around in the kitchen or the garden. We kids had the run of the neighborhood and township and mom and dad never worried about us as long as we were home for dinner. It seems that the whole neighborhood came to our yard to play and as cramped as we were, there was no end to the family and friends that somehow stayed overnight. I guess we just made do without comparison and judgement. Dad worked hard at his own business and tho we never wanted for anything, we weren't excessive in anything either. Homework was at the kitchen table or on the living room floor; one TV, one radio, etc. My grandfather had the telephone installed on the utility porch, because he wouldn't have it in the house. When he died, it was brought into the living room, but whenever I see people walking around with cell phones and ear bugs, and i pads, I think grandpa would be spinning around in his grave. Small spaces made for family time; we went to bed early (except on monday nights, when we went to bed after I Love Lucy) and got up early; ate a real breakfast and walked a mile to school. As small as our house was, tables were set up end to end in the living room for big family/friends holiday dinners (the kids' table in the kitchen). I've lived in a lot of houses since those childhood days and have always preferred smallish houses....See MoreWhat products from "yesteryear" do you miss?
Comments (71)My aunt gave me my first lipstick when I was about 12. I still have the tube. It's 'Pyxie Pink', in a white enamel tube with a pastel flower print, made by Milkmaid, Inc. (Patterson, NJ) I don't think there was much actual color to it, but it *smelled good*. Maid_o_Cliff -- I've used dishwasher cleaner to get rid of a hard water 'ring' in a toilet. (Drain water from bowl; sprinkle on the cleaner; keep damp with wet paper toweling; flush.) Something I don't miss, but do remember is Sen-Sen. (Did you ever taste THAT?) I think the slogan was, "Cover up your tell-tale breath with Sen-Sen." (Great, now you don't smell of tobacco, you stink from their product! Kind of a tip-off, eh?)...See More- 3 years ago
