I nominate “venomous harridan” (and, while I’m at it, “slavering virago”) as pet names for the shrieking harpy.

Two good sales days in a row. Sprint required me to buy a new Bluetooth headset, which had not budgeted for this month, but I got some help covering the cost, so my budgeted use of my tax refund remains intact.

My office manager has a old booklet, an original from the 30’s or 40’s, on how a secretary should act in an office. It was all about minding the men and being pretty. lol

There are some hilarious books out there about ‘proper feminine behaviour’ from the 50’s. I’ll see if I can dig one up for you.
re: #24 Dark_Falcon

I actually understand what you mean, but I can’t keed the government from withholding, so my planning for winter reflects a influx of cash in the form of that refund.

re: #27 sattv4u2
That concept is probably why the withholding was instituted. Plus If one had to pay all at once the yearly income tax there would be a huge uproar.

THE CORRECT WAY TO HAVE DINNER WITH YOUR FAMILY
[Video]
Looks like a revanchists dream!
A Date with Your Family is a 1950 10-minute social engineering short film presented by Simmel-Meservey, directed by Edward G. Simmel, and written by Arthur V. Jones to primarily show youth how to act and behave with parents during dinner to have a pleasant time. The subject family consists of a father, mother and their offspring, the sister, older brother and the younger junior. The narrator tells what happens with the family; what should happen during the meal, what types of manners and socializing should be exhibited to not sour the time with your family and what should not happen. There are many stereotypical views of each person to coincide with the preferred image of a nuclear family in the post-war era of the 1950s.

re: #33 Dark_Falcon
Work didn’t help, it was my family that helped me.
Though my manager did help by discounting the headset an extra percentage for his employees. He’s a good sort and I’m lucky to have him. Right now the people in my life are the best group I’ve ever had, at work at my gaming group and here at LGF (family has always been good).

re: #35 Gus 802
These are the kinds of movies they showed us in health or social studies class and gym. We also had poise and how to address adults. Other than the fact that they’re dated as you noted, the role of women particularly, they aren’t such a bad idea. I mean, teaching kids that family time is important and how to act in social situations, circa 2010.

Enjoy and appreciate it! You won’t always have such a “luxury” and it’s nice to remember that you enjoyed it when it was happening. Not, just in retrospect!

Looked like it would have been something show in a home economics class. There’s some popular cook today that wants to make it a requirement that all high school students should be able to cook meals.
I think a video like this today would cause an uproar and/or a lot of “outrageous outrage” depending on who’s doing the complaining. Also because there is no one standard or homogeneous society as there was in the 1950s.

I don’t know if people are aware of this, but there’s a little subset of ‘mommybloggers’ out there who are, uh, superoldfashioned. Apart from using the internet, that is.
Lots of posts wittering away about the proper role of women. There’s some extremely creepy stuff out there. Including a bunch of Christian BDSM blogs. They make the connection between ‘obedience’ to one’s husband and punishment. Like physical punishment. There’s some specific Bible verses they cite about it.
Sometimes the mommyblogger contingent gets into fights over which of them is a better Christian, and then a vicious blogwar ensues in which many unChristian things are said and done.
A few of the feminist blogs have documented some of this, hence my knowledge of it. I wouldn’t be surprised if some of these folks were connected to the Homemakers for America people, or Concerned Women for America. (HfA was at the tea party convention, people might recall).

ROPMA.
Investigative teams from New Delhi were flying to Pune, and the authorities had not linked the probable attack to any terrorist organizations or publicly identified any suspects or motive. But the timing is certain to complicate the recent overture by India to resume the high-level talks with Pakistan that broke off after the November 2008 attacks on Mumbai by Pakistani militants. India has demanded that Pakistan confront domestic terrorist groups as a condition of resuming diplomatic talks.
The Indian home secretary, G. K. Pillai, speaking to reporters on Saturday night, said the apparent bomb blast occurred in a Pune neighborhood visited by David Headley, the son of a former Pakistani diplomat who has been charged with helping to plot the Mumbai attacks. Mr. Headley is accused of doing reconnaissance for the attacks for a Pakistan-based terrorist group called Lashkar-e-Taiba.

There’s a few “Christian” sites selling um, equipment and costumes for that specific market.
Which reminds me— have people seen the KKK pajamas for kids? Don’t know if that site is still around.
There’s also a documentary about a woman who makes KKK robes.
(The segue here is that the “Christian” clothing sites I mention also sell kid’s clothing and ‘modest’ clothing. Think Amish or Mormon splinter group clothing.)

Cooking now, is not such a bad thing. Especially for men. My friends who have boys make sure they know how to do laundry, cook and basic home care. Kids aren’t getting married in their 20’s anymore.

Yeah, things changed when my mom started working in 1969. Eventually she started going to school so my dad had to make his own dinner. Of course that usually meant a can of soup or canned foods. I was cooking by then. Simple meals like chicken with chopped vegetables. Before that we did have to “learn” how to do laundry. Was never anything too difficult. I think the frayed nerves was the worst of it.
We were the loud family to a certain extent. Dinner time in later years turned into some rather uncomfortable situations sometimes involving political or religious arguments. We also had the bad habit of watching TV while eating.

One of the British gifts to the world was the refinement of ballroom dancing in the early to middle parts of the 20th century (through the adoption of modern dance techniques to partner dancing.)
Perhaps the most famous of the Brits to be a teacher in this vein was Alex Moore. In explaining partner dancing, in one of his many books, he made a statement to the effect that “the women should not have a mind of her own.”
Misogyny at its most erudite.

This song is remarkable in that it features vocal harmonies of perfect 5ths.
That is extremely unusual in this genre.

Not sure..I’ll post times in an hour
I just wonder if those tracks are exactly all the same length or what…maybe time has no bearing other than at that particular race, like snow skiing

I think each luge track has it’s own records, like auto racing tracks.

There’s no standard track length. And like auto racing, but to an even greater extent, the track condition varies a lot based on weather conditions, elevation, etc.

Exactly. There are no Olympic record for luge as well as downhill skiing and other similar sports.

re: #42 sattv4u2
There are some hilarious books out there about ‘proper feminine behaviour’ from the 50’s. I’ll see if I can dig one up for you
not limited to ‘feminine”, although the ‘reguiremenst” were much more rigid
watch some old footage of live TV show audiences or sporting events. Suit jackets,,, ties ,,, no vulgar or off color signs
A simpler time perhaps!?!?! I kinda miss it!
Wearing a jacket and tie and refraining from vulgarity is nice.
Being told that you should never ‘insist on having your way’, because your husband is the head of the house, less so.
Some of these guidebooks are surreal. One doesn’t wonder that the second wave of feminism happened, only that there was so little bloodshed involved.
