I hope you will continue to come along with my on my next voyage, for sure it shall be all our voyage if you like. <br />I also love Doris Day (and have often listened to her music this year, she has become an old friend crooning in the background as I go about my day and as I have grown in my skills.)<br />I hope we can help to change that 'image' of modern woman. We certainly can be a pretty face, but so much more. And there is plenty of beauty to be had in our appearence in how we dress and carry ourselves, we don't need bikinis and liposuction.

Hope you had a wonderful Christmas. <br /><br />Thanks for all of those tips...I just got a dot of red lipstick onto a favourite sweater and am going to see if it can yet be salvaged! <br /><br />You are dead on about the way women are seen and used today; it's ridiculous. If you ask me, we WERE better off in the 50s when there was some respect for women and their roles, instead of the way we're seen as nothing but pieces of meat (or not) today. If there's anything I've learned in my life, it is that in today's world, a woman is worth ONLY how she looks. And that's not the way it's supposed to be! Sad state of affairs.<br /><br />Have a happy new year!Jen Bhttp://libertyimages.etsy.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6960946442922071473.post-13490265527521681932009-12-31T09:52:43.943-08:002009-12-31T09:52:43.943-08:00Wow, long post :).

Congratulations on ending the year so successfully!<br /><br />You wrote, "I guess it is all really a result of having so much of our world be visual and controlled by advertising. How does one make an older intelligent woman who doesn’t care if she is hot, but cares to look nice and dress for herself sell cars, toothpaste, or be on a reality show. The very visual instant pleasure seeking world in which we dwell seems to have no place for older intelligent women who care more about what is in their head or coming out of their mouths than if they have the ‘coolest tattoo’."<br /><br />I know you have not seen any or little advertising while visiting 1955 this year. But I have noticed a trend towards older models, and non-perfect bodies. A nod to the aging Baby Boomers perhaps? The slackening abs, the wrinkled hands and the age spots have a grace in these commericals that have not been highlighted before now. For that I applaude those companies.<br /><br />Looking forward to the new venture,<br />Your friend on the Farm.Kayhttp://prairie-quilts-and-kolaches.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6960946442922071473.post-39175282117766730092009-12-30T19:14:27.125-08:002009-12-30T19:14:27.125-08:00Ohhhhhh, a big virtual hug to you, 50sgal!Ohhhhhh, a big virtual hug to you, 50sgal!Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05549190997375771361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6960946442922071473.post-82715700944305142342009-12-30T17:29:25.460-08:002009-12-30T17:29:25.460-08:00Yes, I remember you, PL.

After our move, getting the kids started at their new schools, finding new doctors/dentist, etc., getting into a new routine in our new house, and the holidays that were looming ahead of me, I decided to keep my head down and remain a lurker until now. I'm still getting my new routine ironed out, but we're doing good now and I feel like we are in a place where things are starting to feel normal again.<br /><br />50sgal, I wanted to pop in before your year officially ended and congratulate you on doing such a wonderful job! I sat in the background, as an "official" lurker and continued to be amazed and inspired by you. I was hoping, like everyone else, that the journey would not end at the end of the year. Now that I feel like I have my bearings in our new surroundings, and the holidays are behind me as well, I intend to participate on a regular basis in whatever it is you decide to do next. I'm just so glad to hear that you are planning to do "something". I'm excited for the reveal!<br /><br />Merry (belated) Christmas and Happy New Year!PoppyLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06007494773180914306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6960946442922071473.post-11142966885809235262009-12-30T12:58:25.632-08:002009-12-30T12:58:25.632-08:00In case there are any who care, and didn't alr...In case there are any who care, and didn't already know: having dropped hot cooking oil on my new suede boots while making donuts two years ago, I learned how to fix it. rub a little cornstarch on the oil stain with a toothbrush (a circular motion works best). It will absorb the oil eventually. be sure to re-apply your scotchguard though as it will no longer be waterproof (if it was originally, that is).Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01692874116005248999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6960946442922071473.post-53804231713636616842009-12-30T10:03:34.073-08:002009-12-30T10:03:34.073-08:00Thank you again, all of you.

I have just finished some last minute catching up chores (finally getting back to my schedule since being ill, but thank goodness for the fortitude and drive of the 1950's to look forward to, hold myself up to and strive towards, thank you again 1955!)and shall spend the rest of today (until dinner time of course!) plugging away on my 'website'. I do hope you will be kind with my little 'baby' as I am doing it completely alone and with only the help of a few 'how to' videos on youtube so I can understand Dreamweaver. I think, much like my blog, it will grow and evolve with the help and aid of all of you. It shall, indeed, be OUR website. Thank you again, I do sound a broken record, for all your input comments and love this year. We can all be proud of ourselves. I was able, at least digitally, to feel that element of 1955 that was so important to the homemaker-community of other women. Though I could not look over the fence to see any of you, you were there none the less with the cup of sugar able to pop in for a quick cuppa and a bit of chat or gossip. I am excited to continue and grow this level of 'neighborliness' we have fostered here.

I guess that since they weren’t labled Playboy, they were safe to be out in the public. Porn-man was a customer who apparently thought it exciting to display and leave said contents out in the open for all, including children, to walk by and view.<br /><br />Michele,<br /><br />What a neat insight you had from reading posts from the beginning of the year until now and the change in speech pattern you observed. I have always loved the way people from earlier times spoke, and I have never known whether it was real or just in the movies. I especially notice it in 1930s and 1940s films. For instance, if you saw the second Night of the Museum movie, the girl that played Amelia Erhart had a wonderful intonation and period slang. Then, when she came into real life at the end of the show, she spoke like we do today—not nearly as enchanting.Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05549190997375771361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6960946442922071473.post-84852401453251186422009-12-30T01:21:51.809-08:002009-12-30T01:21:51.809-08:00I have not tried the amonia in the oven (but am go...I have not tried the amonia in the oven (but am going to now that you mentioned it!). But, I have tried pouring it in a garbage bag, inserting my burner trays, and sitting it out in the sun for a few hours—think I left it overnight. All they needed was a quick wipe and rinse—no scraping or toiling!<br /><br />And, yes to the fat! My mother taught me to save my fat. I use bacon fat for frying my breaded meat before I stew it among other things. My SIL cooked a wonderful pot roast on Christmas Day and was going to throw the fat and broth. “NO!”, I exclaimed, “I’ll take it to make gravy with.”<br /><br />Another thing I always save are bones. My grandma made a Turkey for Christmas and asked if my dog would like the carcass. “NO!”, I exclaimed, “I’ll take it to make soup with.” And, tonight, we had neffla soup.
