I’m moving all of my blogs to one central blog:
I have three blogs: gimmesalling, puckermanwinchesterteller, and thatvintagegirl.
Since I’m tired of having all my interests segmented into separate areas, I’m consolidating everything HERE. Now, I’ll be able to blog all my loves (1940s history, Mark Salling, old time radio, Puckleberry, Jensen Ackles, rainy days,...

Just an observation:
When I was a little kid, I used to get annoyed when all these “old guys” like Don Ameche, George Burns, and Bob Hope were on my TV. As a child, I was highly irritated by these people. They had no relevance to me and my life as a child in the early 1980s.
Fast forward to 2012 when Don Ameche and George Burns, particularly, are two of my absolute favorite actors due to their work on...

sweethermieharmony asked: I'm loving this blog! I was hunting for Fibber McGee and Molly and yours was the only other hit. Cool! I'll take a picture of some Lux soap, still available in Asia. :D

I'm presently obsessed with Lux Radio Theater.

You know you’ve immersed yourself in 1940s music when you can call out the name of every song they’re playing in “Land Girls” within the first five seconds.

I have the uncontrollable urge to join Sisters on the Fly, despite the fact that I do not yet own a vintage camper or the proper vehicle in which to pull it with, nor do I actually fly fish (or fish at all, for that matter)….
