Hi Meryl, >Better Homes and Gardens magazines from the mid 50s through the early 70s. Lot's of 'em. Also, old books about pet care (any pet except tarantulas).
If all else fails, tarot cards. If that fails (and it usually does), plant yourself in front of a TV for 3 or 4 hours.< Never seen Better Homes and Gardens magazine but have some old pet care books for unusual pets (e.g. crocodiles, just bought the book but never found anywhere selling crocodiles :( ) published by TFH Publications I think,........ very cool. TV, well I've already done that...........not very inspiring though.......yesterday I even watched a re-run of Magnum PI (11.00am every weekday channel 5, for any UK fluxlisters currently working from home, unemployed etc. and wanting to relive Tom Selleck's moustache-based detective magic)...although I decided not to switch over for Quincy once it had finished....seems that whilst we're in 2002 TV land is circa 1981 and Glen A .Larson is king. Although having said that this is still way better than the drivel they make now. Interestingly there seems to be some transatlantic cross-pollenation drivel-wise as I saw a show called the Frontier House which apparently was made because the US fanbase for the 1900 house (back in time TV to middle class England with servants circa 1900, good reminder why we should still be interested in class struggle......anyway) was so huge. Tarot, well I have a set but they freaked me out a little about 14 years ago and I haven't used them since, just in case. cheers, Sol.
