Old Folks Forums

Updated:   Published

When I was first seriously considering retirement, I found a website that I liked. Like allnurses, on Old Folks Forums there are a multitude of forum categories, including general discussion, crafts & hobbies, and humor, the ones I most often frequent.

Nursing is in my blood, so I often refer to it in my submissions. Like when one of my virtual friends who wanted to go on a hiatus, suggested that I take over his long running humorous thread series that takes place in a bar:

Is this the antique roadshow or American Pickers? Where do you live to collect and find these things they are so antique

We just buy at auctions or antique malls. Our posters in the green music room are of early recording artists (like 1890 - 1908).

We had a wind-up Victrola on which we played THICK records.

Thick records (about 1/4th inch thick) are made by Edison and must be played on Edison phonographs/players. Edison was late to the game and didn't want to pay for the patent Victor had on the thinner records.

I used to listen to Sarah Vaughn when I was a kid; wailed along w/ her two songs "Broken-Hearted Melody" and "I'm Caught in a Whirlpool (of Love"). Can you imagine a 10 or 11 year old girl singing these and trying to be soulful? ?
