After being nurtured inside a mason jar in a nest of burlap and white lace

If you look deep inside that rose (candied or otherwise), you'll see a tiiiiiny cursive letter "P" that would one day grow in to Pinterest.

my grandmother was decorating editor of this in the 50s— but had to quit when she got pregnant because they didn't have maternity leave (of course). We have some mock ups and sketches of different shoots she organized and spaces she designed and, while I am biased, they aren't as dated as you would imagine.

That's adorable.

The long time editor of the Ladie's Home Journal, Edward Bok, actually won a freakin' PULITZER for the quality of the work in his magazine. When I was in school we had to do book report on a biography or auto-biography and I oddly enough I found among my parent's books a copy of his auto biography 'The…

This is a running gag with myself and my six-year-old. I get him an orange to eat and peel it in a single piece of peel. I then carefully reassemble the peel into a very unconvincing hollow orange and tell him to give it to mommy. She plays along (oh, no, it's empty!) and he laughs his ass off every time. We've…

Also, how does a rose inside an orange peel announce an engagement? Why does the rose/orange peel only work with a yellow theme?

I wear the fancy shoes, and, strangely, hate flip-flops but MAN if I could live a life without shoes, I would in a HEARTBEAT!

Just think of it this way: hobbits could NEVER take their shoes off at the door because their feet ARE their shoes.

Some of this is surprisingly practical. That computer purchase one seems silly now, but if you were buying a PC in the 80s/90s, some of those questions were helpful (including the school computers.) People forget that a lot of formats weren't easily ported across systems in those days. God help the poor kid in the…

You know, if those goddamned trolls hadn't ruined it for everyone, I would be able to post the 1969 moon landing cross stitch/embroidery pattern from LHJ I found at an antique store this summer. It's amazing. Fucking trolls. And also fucking women's magazines for no longer having embroidery patterns.

Eeeeeeeek can you imagine their crunchy little feets?!?!?! I will never watch those movies the same way again.

Wait what? I need to know more about this. I demand that you return to the library and procure more information! How do you make it without destroying the peel? What color rose should I use? Can I eat the rose? It it candied? What if Nellie Oleson puts a frog inside mine?

This woman has been photoshopped. I can tell.

The most horrifying part of all this was the hardening of the feet. WHY WOULD YOU WANT YOUR HEELS TO BE ALL CRUNCHY-LIKE WHEN YOU ARE TRYING TO SLEEP ON YOUR NICE SHEETS?

I basically only fly transatlantic, and these screens are lifesavers. I pay more to go on slightly fancier airlines so that I am guaranteed a screen and a decent movie selection. I can't sleep on flights for some reason, so they're essential for me.

I guess I'd be okay if they phase out the screens if they provide us…

For short haul—whatever. For long haul? FFFFFFF....my laptop battery lasts 5hrs MAX...unless you're going to give us all plugs, airlines, please let me keep the screens. I once flew from Zurich to Beijing with no screens on the back of the seats...OMFG was it DULL. I got drunk on mini bottles of wine…

I'm sure they will pass the savings along to passengers by way lower fares! Always looking out for us, those Airlines...

NOOOOOOOOOO. Half the time airplane internet access doesn't work, and there's only so much I can download to my tablet/laptop before I get on the plane (I always forget to do it until the night before). Also sometimes you want to watch live TV sports or news and stuff. This is why I love Virgin America!

All things being equal, it would probably be cheaper to just give out an iPad to each passenger for use on the flight.
