we loved connie when we were kids, back in the '50s.
still do, for that matter!.
watch the kids in the audience.
Thanks, Heartsafire and Nancy, for your comments, including memories. Remember the Paris Sisters and that beautiful tune!
Yes, a simpler time. We were poor but managed to collect dimes and nickels, with the occasional "2-bits" from Grandpa, and buy those wonderful 45-rpm records. Family and I still have scads of the hit parade records. My fave by Connie was "Who's Sorry Now?"
"Stupid Cupid" -- another hit by Connie Francis:
a recent comment in another thread inspired this one.. the comment concerned a family who owned a bakery and got counsel on the icing and cake decorations.. the cakes reflected the theme of worldly holidays of that time.. the family was told to sell the bakery.. then, we have the case of jalessa castillo, a young u.s. journalist who happens to also be a pioneer in a congregation.
she was covering religious topics (among other topics) and it seems that got stopped?.
at least when you look online now it is very hard to find her name in the byline of anything religious in nature.
A dear friend and former JW -- a real go-getter -- sold home-cooked fare at various venues during holiday time. She was warned by elders to stop. She fired back with her own threats, those of legal action, and they let her be.
She is a preeminent purveyor of fine foods and is firmly established in the community. She is loved and respected and is one hell of a businesswomen, thank you very much!
now that the org.
has gone 90% digital, it would seem most people now would rather read a good old fashioned book than a tablet!.
way to show insight oh fearless leaders!.
Have and am reading old JFR books: Salvation, Enemies, etc.
The storytelling is actually quite spellbinding and the color illustrations are beautiful and, frankly, erotic.
Subtle?

When I was a proofreader, Bethel, Brooklyn, I remember one of our senior members, Ann Rose, noting textual errors, found in recently published books, on the back fly leaf. That's what we called "errata data."
I don't recall on how wide a scale it was done, but we would take a separate "signature" (folded sheets of paper) with printed corrections and manually glue it into the back of the book.
"Errata data tipped in" means that corrections have been inserted.
We've come a long way, Baby!

Good morning, smiddy, zeb, and HappyDad:
Great replies and experiences -- THANKS! Yeah, the '50s and '60s. We were poor, but we had our phonographs and 45 rpm records. Family and I still have Richie Valens, Everly Brothers, etc.

i am getting new appliances.
i have decided on black stainless for the finish.
the house is stubbed for gas and electric for the range.
I remember that scene with Jim Carrey.
Thanks, OUTLAW!
I work for lots of people who have fancy, upscale kitchens. I clean their fridges, stoves, etc., even when it's not my assigned duty. Love cleaning kitchens, and used to do commercial kitchens -- AAAAARGH!!!

Just returned from cleaning this lovely F. Bertazzon Italia, 5-burner gas range. Easy peasy:
are you in a muddle over domestic chores?
ask happy homemaker for practical and up-to-the-minute advice.
you won't be disappointed!.
Thanks, just fine!
I hope your all-singing, all-dancing cucina moderna is coming along as planned. Yes, that recommended cleaner does work, and very well. Me, I try the basics, particularly when the client does not have what you described. I should know by now, but I keep experimenting and . . .
My biggest gripe is when someone -- owner OR house cleaner -- uses abrasive pads and such.
NO!!!
