One of my guilty pleasures is looking at pictures of time-capsule houses. Homes from previous eras that have been lovingly maintained and have retained their original character over the years.
Cool. Which period was it from?I stayed in a house, just like that.
A period house we call it.

Now that house was built to last. Did it mostly have period furniture?1700
It had the beams inside the house. The boys rooms door was really small we had to bend down to get in - perfect size for them.
Low ceiling.
It was beautiful.
It even had a bidet from the 1950s

Some of my favorites are more recent, from the 50s - 70s, but I'm fascinated with the really old ones too. They're kind of like a window, or door, through time. To see how people lived back then.
Low frames are common in very old buildings (and ships), as people were shorter then. Were they truly child-sized doors, or just slightly lower than average?
That reminds me of visiting my brother when he was stationed in Europe. He's just under 6'4", and I'm just under 6'2". Whenever we were in particularly old buildings, we'd have to watch our heads.No we furniture it ourself.
well it was lower than average. I had to bend down and i am 5ft 8, my ex partner is 6ft 2 ha ha ha there was a low beam connecting to the living room and he would have to watch he didn't smack his head across it
Maybe if Edison did quit after a thousand times, we'd all have free energy!I dunno, a thousand times is a lot. I might take a hint and quit
I’m glad you brought up Edison. A professor once told me that he (Edison) didn’t trust any invention that worked on the first try. I loved that. Basically he considered failure to be part of the creative process. I loved it so much I included it in a screenplay I wrote.Maybe if Edison did quit after a thousand times, we'd all have free energy!
I consider failure that way too. I fail daily, but I always intend to get back on the horse and try again!I’m glad you brought up Edison.

Tough times come and they go. You can fail 1,000 times and be rejected just as often, but if you have a dream and passion to see your dream succeed, you can become successful. No one gets it right on the first try. Or even the second or the third.
Good to know. I just assumed the 40 referred to how many uses they found for the stuff.It took forty attempts to create a water displacing compound. That's how WD-40 got its name.
Watching sound recordings of streets in New York during the late 1920s and early 1930s.. pretty eerie.
Especially seeing then current films from that area being advertised in the streets.. Seems like they also had a lot of movie theaters back then.
All that energy and commotion and those people are long dead.
Why is your mind mushed? Long hours, lack of sleep etc? I have a friend who is a nurse, and she only works part time because full time would wear her out.Mind is mushed right now...
Ugh
...and wore the mask wrong way...blue side should be out
