I think we were all cutting up back then... My condolences for your loss🙏🏽

Those Dynasty shoulder pads give 80's vibes. Edited show name and the whole decade

Left me in the dumps the rest of the flight.

Like this scenario? starts at 1:25.

Heaven forbid you’re in the bathroom when the plane hits clear air turbulence encountered without warning. Don’t ask me how I know.

Was just one of a number of serious recent incidents around the planet. The thought of a baby flying off their parent’s lap and landing in someone else’s boggles.

I’m going to assume that it’s not the same one unless Florida has become home to charbroiled zombie iguanas.

When I joined the WAC in 1974, my recruiter gave me a booklet for female recruits with a list of clothing to bring and what clothing was acceptable for traveling to Ft McClellan for basic training by plane, bus or train.

As new representatives of the Women's Army Corps, we were expected to wear appropriate attire for public travel: a tastefully fitted pantsuit was acceptable, but more preferable were knee length skirts or dresses with pantyhose matching our skin tone, appropriate foundation garments (defined as "underpants, bra, slip and optional girdle"), absolutely no blue jeans, mini skirts, slacks, low cut tops showing cleavage, bare legs, sneakers or sandals. Purses with shoulder straps were encouraged as more practical than handbags for traveling (thank goodness).

To be fair, in those days people dressed up to travel, lol, we dressed carefully to go shopping downtown. And ironing our jeans to go dancing at the club was a thing. When starching and ironing our uniforms, we'd do our jeans too. When I got out ten years later, I promised myself I wouldn't buy a stitch of clothing that required ironing.

Throughout the 80s and 90's I relied on a work wardrobe of knit tops, dark wool gabardine skirts, and on black tights and flats instead of constantly worrying about running pantyhos. My poor feet were too shot by ten years of daily 2 mile runs in combat boots and unsuccessful surgeries for wearing heels.

Occasionally comments were made about my not wearing heels or hose at the white shoe law firm where I worked, but they weren't dress code violations and since I wasn't an attorney I had a bit more freedom anyway.

This Ted talk has concluded.🙄

1955 is an excellent vintage.

Loved that collar back then, still do now so much I still enjoy incorporating it in my sweater designs.

Surprise! 🤣🤣🤣

I think you are correct.

Pity the janitor who had to clean up afterwards. Worse than cleaning up vomit with that powder they used to throw on first.

The first season (show runner: Brian Fuller of Hannibal fame) of the now cancelled Starz series is a feast for the eyes and open minds) then he left and it became a bit bedraggled but do have a look.

Seconding KJV annotated for study editions. This is where the internet shines when you can key in a phrase and get explanations, and go back to reading.

BTW, I have a feeling you might also enjoy a romp through Neil Gaiman's 20th anniversary edition of American Gods (or the full cast audiobook) for a palate cleansing pagan roadtrip through the US.
