Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Amy, I might have a couple of those, actually. Was there one called something like "Pocahontas: Brave Girl"? It's ringing a bell, but I have no idea where it is in the pile of boxes in my garage.
Zenkitty, I'm in DC. But if you have pretty vintage things I am always interested.
There's more to life than financial stability, right???
I always said so. But now that I have it, I'm terrified to give it up.

Clothes and dolls?
Dolls, probably not. (They creep me out a little.) But definitely clothes! I love mid-century in particular (40s, 50s, early 60s) but I'm always happy to find older stuff and I'm willing to be convinced about newer stuff if it's really fabulous.

Shoot, that's why I'm getting rid of them.
The clothes I have are 60s era, I think. My sister has a trunk full of 1920s clothes we don't know what to do with.

I know what to do with them! I know!
What sort of condition are they in?
My boss is not nearly as competent as she thinks she is. She insists on being Kept In The Loop on everything, which results in everything being harder than it needs to be, because she inserts herself into every situation and complicates it by "helping facilitate".
MY BOSS TOO. Awesome.
We can't get people here to retire. The university tries to bribe you to retire. If you retire at 65, they will keep paying your salary for five more years, even though you are retired and have no reponsibilities.
Most faculty don't take the deal. They don't want to lose their lab or their influence or the next big thing they are thinking of working on.
At this rate, the univerisity is going to be a very old place.
a 50s Alice in Wonderland, a Milne collection, [...] The Velveteen Rabbit, an Aesop's Fables from the 40s,[...], the Secret Garden
WAAAAAAAAAANT.
Hi Holli! Glad you're having fun and it's good to see your pixels.
Rick,
we have someone here in my School who I SWEAR is 80-85 years old. Still on the faculty. Still teaching. We could hire like 3 assistant professors for what he is getting paid.
