    Help! Where do you buy work clothes?

    I'm petite and not skinny. I have the best luck at Palais Royal or other Stage Stores (Beall's etc.) Beall's Florida (which is separate) has a very good online store as well. I can also usually find some cute little sweaters and shrugs at Wal-Mart for layering in cool weather. Best of luck in...

    TV shows you are ashamed to admit you watch

    I watch True Tori as well. I'm glad I'm not the only one brave enough to make this admission. I'm also an In the Kitchen with David fan, even though he makes my husband physically ill. I also used to enjoy Teen Mom and Catfish until our cable company dropped MTV.

    When, Where and Why

    It was 1965 and I was ten. We had moved to Huntington, West Virginia and flew back to Dallas for Christmas to see my Granny. Flew on a prop plane (Piedmont airlines) and it was very exciting. We did have some turbulence, and the coffee in my mother's cup went straight up in the air and right...

    What were you doing ?

    JFK-I was in third grade in Huntsville, TX. Our teacher told us the news and then our parents came to pick us up. My parents were huge JFK fans and we thought he was so handsome and smart--it was just unbelievable. My mother held her composure for us but I know she was especially horrified...

    What is the worst thing you ever did at School/College?

    I got sent to detention hall just once, in junior high. We were reading To Kill A Mockingbird in English class, and then the bell rang and we went to Math. I just couldn't put it down and so continued reading it in Math, while listening to the Math teacher at the same time. She noticed and asked...

    Did you keep you wedding dress?

    Mine is a Gunny Sax hippie gown from 1976. It's been hanging in my closet all this time although I did wear it to a Hallowe'en dance one year. I made a net veil, painted my face white, wore vampire teeth and went as Bride of Dracula. My husband wasn't impressed but hey, I needed a costume!

    The Middle TV show

    This is our favorite show too! Our very own "Axl" is 30 now but we lived through it all. The sick/not sick bit was a classic! :happytv: Does anyone else notice that the show comes to a grinding halt every time Chris Kattan is on? I don't know why they bother with him--he isn't funny!

    Ever Watch one of those Hoarder Shows

    Me too. I have to watch it in the bedroom because hubby is always watching football in the living room. Our bedroom has bookcases with plenty of junk in them so I sort through while I watch. It helps that he's not there to say "keep that, we might need it!" ;) Do you remember the show "Clean...
