I never recognize the first woman, even though I’ve seen her over and over. The man is instantly familiar. I thought I’d say, “Oh of course!” when I saw his name. But no.
It turns out that….
She is Anne Francis, he is James Millhollin and I never found a name for the actress playing Anne Francis’ mannequin double.
Another solid southpaw here. I got pretty adept at using a regular circular saw that one time I held a left-handed saw, I found it so cumbersome that I immediately set it aside and went back to using a regular circular saw.
The difference in the saws is that the motor is mounted on the other side of the blade. There’s internal differences to make the motor turn in the correct direction.
An old friend who used to sew all the time is a lefty.
As a collectibles dealer, in the 80s, I got a great deal on a small batch of really good sewing shears, old stock from a long closed department store .
They’ve always been very expensive. I gave her the only left handed pair. She was excited to have a pair of Ghingers, which neither of us could afford new, and her first-ever left handed shears.
Last time she mentioned them, she still had them. She can’t bear to give them away, but in 40 years, she’s never been able to use them, having grown up with right handed scissors.
I get the joke… But honestly, I never thought of the fridge door as a right-handed, left-handed thing. I thought it had to do with kitchen placement.
Back in the late 70s I bought a beautiful refrigerator at a steep discount from a Montgomery Ward (remember them?) outlet store.
It was a returned item due to a dent in the door, which was hinged on the left. But that meant that in my kitchen, it opened towards the sink and counters, so it felt correct. Never occurred to me that it was left-handed, or backwards.
When I moved, I had to sell it. The woman who bought it said it was backwards. I just shook my head.
And when I landed in this place, the fridge (which I ended up having for many years) opened on the left… Strangely, it took a long time for that to feel correct to me.
Left, right, it doesn’t seem to matter, even though I’m quite right-handed. Maybe I bonked my head on something, and don’t remember.
Almost all over/under refrigerators can have the doors reversed. When i bought my new one the door was wrong so i had the delivery guys reverse it for me. Same can be done with many dryer doors.
Interesting, I’d have reversed the Left-hand right-hand alignment. Opening a door is very simple; easily done with your off hand. Finding what you want and removing it without spilling can be much more intricate. Anyway, our refrigerators opened in the direction that fit the kitchen lay-out. They all were actually what you call right-handed doors. Now we have a fancy double door one.
I tried to find an actual inventory, but it didn’t seem to be available in any of the articles. One comment included a few of the items. I believe that’s 3 dozen eggs in the center above the meat. The small round thing in the upper left near the celery is probably an onion. BTW, it was claimed that this included everything except milk.
In 2021, we had a water leak that tore up our kitchen, and the insurance company said that they’d pay the cost of meals while it was being repaired if I gave them the cost. Heck, I’m the cook, but I didn’t know what we were spending, so I broke down every item used in a variety of the meals that I normally prepared (including chili, salmon, steak, stew, and whatever) and put them into a spreadsheet with the then current prices. In some of the dinners, I even included a bottle of wine appropriate for that menu. I averaged them out, and a week came to $179.27. I had access to a refrigerator, a microwave and a barbecue on our patio, so most of the cooking was done there, with prep on a roll-about kitchen island that I’d built no more than a month before the leak. Once in awhile, we went out to a fast food restaurant, so I modified that week’s cost that I gave to the insurance company (with the receipts). I think they got away cheap on us, but that’s the way we lived.
Four packages of meat… But the third one is pretty large, and the last one could hold a big chunk of beef, or a whole chicken.
The war was over, but people were used to stretching a pot roast or a chicken for days, plus the girls were only four, and it wasn’t common to give small children much meat.
I’m thinking it looks like seven days of dinners, maybe no meat for breakfast or lunch.
I read it when I searched the picture… I didn’t see anything in it that’s different from what I said.
It says she limits dinner entries to “such things as hamburgers, meat loaf and chili.” Those are all made with ground beef… but it doesn’t mean she NEVER buys a chicken, or another inexpensive cut of beef or pork. They are similarly frugal if used sparingly.
Not buying meat for lunches means no bologna or olive loaf (popular then). It doesn’t mean that she might not EVER use a bit of leftovers for a lunch sandwich.
I’m sure she uses common sense.
Just look for yourself at the packages.They obviously don’t all contain the same thing!
The information I found in a search of this image didn’t make total sense to me…
I’m not going to use spoiler boxes, as I doubt anyone is guessing. (Sorry if you are)

I looked up the movie, too…
Stewart is playing Glenn Miller, performing for troops in WWII.
Frances Langeford is doing a cameo as herself.
The part I still don’t know is whether it means, as I think, it’s a scene in the movie where they’re supposed to be rehearsing a Glenn Miller performance…. And Miss Langford surprises Mr. Miller…
Or… It’s a real life rehearsal of a scene in the movie, where Jimmy Stewart gets an unscripted kiss.
I always thought this song missed the point. If the whole Devil/God/Bible thing is true, then the Devil won. By making a deal with the Devil, Johnny forfeits his soul in the end anyway. The Devil just bought a soul for a cheap 10kt plated fiddle that sounds awful.
I’m pretty sure you’re wrong about the Devil getting his soul.
Either Johnny won the fiddle, or the Devil got his soul.
Johnny won the fiddle, therefore the Devil lost.
I recognized some of the illustrations from my copies of “The Patchwork Girl of Oz,” and “Glinda of Oz.”
Between my late sister and I we had most of the Oz books thanks to our favourite aunt. When we left Nicaragua we were allowed to pick one of our collection each to take with us (I think the rest were given to the local church / along with the Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew / but I really don’t remember).
I chose Scraps and my sister chose Glinda.
Aside from the covers, the illustrations are all in black and white though.
I consider it fortunate that I never knew until today that others had taken over writing the Oz books. Another author never gets the characters quite right.
I know he’s real but he looks like a sculpture.
Maybe slices of radishes for his chest?
His beak needs a little touch-up, after all the shells he’s been cracking.

Is the above supposed to say this?
I think you can figure that out.
I have faith.
nope

Can anybody guess where this photo was taken?
It’s in the Twilight Zone.
I never recognize the first woman, even though I’ve seen her over and over. The man is instantly familiar. I thought I’d say, “Oh of course!” when I saw his name. But no.
The episode is “The After Hours”
Ann Francis also starred in the 1956 classic, ‘Forbidden Planet’
Yes, and she was Honey West, a detective (I think) with a pet ocelot… and I still never recognize her.
She has a face that, to me, has that perfect mannequin look to it, so she kind of blends in to her roles.
That appears to be the freezer rather than the fridge.
See! They don’t even know the difference between the two (coming from a family with several southpaws). 🙂
Both of my sisters.
Yup! That’s how we do it with fridges — now imagine us trying to use power tools…
You’re not allowed to use power tools, just so I won’t have to imagine it.
Probably best you don’t…

I’ve never seen a left-handed circular saw, or I’d have one on my workbench!

I didn’t know that. I just looked at my dryer and sure enough, there are places to put the hinges.
They offered to switch them when I bought it, for an extra charge… I saw no reason.

True. I never considered it a right-hand/left-hand situation, but noted the change for the kitchen layout and ease of use.
Three pounds of butter, two pounds of salt five pounds of sugar and one egg?
one egg is un œuf
Boo! 😀
I didn’t even get that last night.🙄
I must have missed something…
No… you got the pun.
I missed it at first.
I tried to find an actual inventory, but it didn’t seem to be available in any of the articles. One comment included a few of the items. I believe that’s 3 dozen eggs in the center above the meat. The small round thing in the upper left near the celery is probably an onion. BTW, it was claimed that this included everything except milk.
There’s no way they need 2 pounds of salt for a week…. I certainly hope they don’t consume any significant fraction of that.
5 pounds of sugar is about 10 cups… almost a cup and a half a day. I hope not that either.
But where are their vegetables? Their fruit?
The large cans in front are beans… Maybe not all eight.
The three bigger ones look like tomatoes but who knows. Not a string bean in sight.
Two scrawny bunches of celery and one small head of lettuce for a whole week. I don’t know what that is to the left… maybe beets or radishes?
I think the potato and the onion (or possibly orange?) are placed in front of the brown bags to show their contents.
All in all, I wouldn’t call it enough food or a healthy diet for two adults and two growing children to get through a week.
$180.19 in today’s money according to an inflation calculator.

Lots of left overs and re imagining of leftovers.
If that is a whole chicken it’s a good chance what’s left ends up in a casserole 🙂

Wonder how much the British Empire Cancer Campaign got paid off for their findings?
Or possibly it was a campaign to promote cancer?

Hey, you’re the entomologist … You tell us!
While you’re at it… Are the rest fireflies?
May…bee…
I’m going to have to look at it tomorrow. All i can see tonight is the eyes.
Got ’em!
Found it.
I think.
Just below that, a creature like the rest…
But below that… still only a little way from the top… is the only creature I see with neither wings nor a yellow belly.
I’m thinking it’s the ant.
Yup!
…,
That’s not a mattress of any brand.
It looks like a deck chair cushion.
Especially on your rooftop pool deck.
Who says one-man-bands are dead (and this guy is good ! !)?
John Fogerty!
Here’s so good I thought at first he must be using a Credence tape or cd and faking it…. But his voice isn’t exactly the same.
And he may have learned it phonetically, and might not even speak English!
Can you ride a bike this well (I can’t)?
That is impressive. I can barely walk and chew gum.
A Darwin Awards Nominee!
Evil never lies (it really doesn’t have to given the human propensity for self-delusion) which means it must acknowledge the truth.

Either Johnny won the fiddle, or the Devil got his soul.
Johnny won the fiddle, therefore the Devil lost.
Johnny won the contest, but sinned by taking part. So he thinks he kept his soul but lost it the old fashioned way, sin.
This purely theoretical as I don’t believe in the devil, heaven, or hell.

He listened, but that was it. He’s not a howler.
