I had not gotten wind yet of that change with Lifesavers candies. I don't buy them very often (much as I love them, I try to really limit the amount of sugar I eat in general, so I don't indulge in candy too frequently), but will definitely be checking the next time I'm at a grocery store or Walmart to see if we still have them in rolls in the candy racks here. <br /><br />♥ Jessica Witchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-16956407521643517742012-11-29T04:16:33.604-08:002012-11-29T04:16:33.604-08:00Very interesting and thorough post about a very in...Very interesting and thorough post about a very interesting era! As for Life-savers, I understand they are now only available in rolls at holiday time--gift packaged. The rest of the year, individually wrapped and bagged--such bad news! My favorite image has got to be the diagram of the zipper! That is marvelous! Looking forward to the next round.Ann B.

I have always been a huge Tarzan fan and at one point we had a kennel that we named Greystoke after the Earl Greystoke himself. (Which gives me an idea to name my new kitty) And I have also been a collector of Raggedy Ann for years but this past summer sold off most of my collection, only keeping a few pieces that were dear to my heart, like the Ann and Andy dolls that my mother made for me.<br /><br />And who knew that about crossword puzzles! I can't wait for the next decade!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00545023539161418817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-78147400852437885352012-11-26T06:55:09.135-08:002012-11-26T06:55:09.135-08:00I had no idea when they were invented prior to sta...I had no idea when they were invented prior to starting my research for this post either.

I began brain storming possible topics to include a few months ago, narrowed down the list (I wanted a good sense of variety, and for the topics to be ones that interested me personally, as I find that usually helps make whatever you're writing about more enjoyable) over time, and worked on the post itself over the course of a few days.<br /><br />♥ Jessica Witchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-82397435154090291952012-11-26T06:35:48.145-08:002012-11-26T06:35:48.145-08:00Thank you very much for your lovely comment, Jamie...Thank you very much for your lovely comment, Jamie.

It's my favorite art movement and I just love Franz Marc. I had the opportunity once to visit Munich and I was able to see some of his work there. Ahh, Raggedy Ann, when I was a little girl she was my favorite doll. I remember only being able to have garage sale Raggedy Ann's but I still loved them:)<br /><br />http://dividingmoments.blogspot.com/Joannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16439393534029787165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-18884625376606080832012-11-25T13:15:14.921-08:002012-11-25T13:15:14.921-08:00Oh Jess I loved this post.

(I've done a few history posts on my blog but narrowed to a single subject, like fashion; your multi-subject approach is exponentially more demanding.)<br /><br />The best thing about learning history is when it changes our perspective; too often we rely on faulty impressions from unreliable sources (e.g., common myths; old movies).Shybikerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15263331247319768989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-46419051600210978792012-11-25T08:25:49.984-08:002012-11-25T08:25:49.984-08:00Really interesting and informative post, Jessica. ...Really interesting and informative post, Jessica.
