If my Dad let his facial hair go for a couple days, he would call it whiskers. So therefore I thought that anything beyond stubble was a beard. Thanks for the scoop.

A jumper, at least here in NC, means a sleeveless dress that is generally worn with a blouse/turtleneck underneath.

I took mine off the minute I found out my husband was cheating. The divorce was a couple months later. I made a "divorce box" for my daughter. I contains my rings with original box and purchase paperwork, marriage license, wedding photos, and first Christmas ornaments,etc. I figure someday she and future generations might appreciate it.

Yep, my friends and I call it Dances with Aliens.

This is not new. Back in the old timey times (70's) when I was in school, they would turn off the soda machines during lunch hours. However, we did have a student smoking area at the school.....

Back before YouTube, we had a cat that didn't appreciate whistling. We would whistle the Andy Griffith theme and he would finish out the notes with his meow. Of course we had to trot him out to perform at parties, lol

Ooooo, a real life paperback book!! Yes, Please!!

At my local farmers markets its common to buy double-yolked eggs.

One of my parents friends lost his thumb in WWII. They used one of his middle toes to replace his thumb. I remember trying not to stare when watching him light a match and then his cigarette.

Very popular as mourning jewelry in the 19th century.

Gah, not good! White areas are too washed out, some of the hair and hat details are lost as well as the original after shot colorization. Its all fine and dandy that its preserved but the "life" of the original has been flattened out and lost.

Went with my then husband to his barber back in the 90's My ex needed a high and tight since he was in the reserves. The barber got out a straight razor, stropped it, grabbed my ex's ear, and quickly razored around it. Could have sworn he had sliced my ex's ear off!! lol Absolutely amazing.

I wish he and the rest of the cast of Blackadder would make cameos on House.

Just finished his book "Born Standing Up". Excellent read and for me brought back lots of good memories watching Steve become what he is today.

One of my Mom's friends who was a WWII vet had the same thing done after he lost his thumb in the war. I was always facinated watching him strike matches with is thumb/toe.
