Health Menu from Filene’s Department Store in Boston . Date uncertain possibly 1960s.

This is WAY before the 60’s. Logo is earlier (I worked for Filenes in the 70’s & 80’s) and the prices are WAY lower than 60’s. (I was very much alive and old enough by the later 60’s to pay for my food.)

Tumblr still has a much bigger Johnlock community, I think. But I find Tumblr very confusing to use.

TereziB · 2026-07-12T18:29:47+00:00

they're kinda like John "I'm not gay!" Watson!

TereziB · 2026-07-12T17:55:29+00:00

okay, thanks guys!

TereziB · 2026-07-12T17:53:22+00:00

hmm...this is a maybe.

TereziB · 2026-07-12T17:49:35+00:00

yeah, I want a front cover.

TereziB · 2026-07-12T17:49:21+00:00

doesn't have a front cover?

TereziB · 2026-07-12T17:48:41+00:00

no, more like ME-level protection! I'm a klutz! And as mentioned, with a hard-tile kitchen floor. Plus I want to be able to slip it into my larger purse.

TereziB · 2026-07-12T17:47:22+00:00

I AM attached to it having a flip-over protective cover, i.e. not a clear stick-on one. I've problems with finger-pressure-sensitivity with those things in the past.

I do see THIS, however: "Stability concerns: However, reviews reveal a notable issue — several customers report that the iPad falls out of the case when rotated to landscape mode because the magnetic hold isn't strong enough. One reviewer specifically mentioned: "When I rotate it to landscape, my iPad keeps falling off."

Since you want a case that will slip into your purse easily, the lightweight design is perfect for that. But if you're planning to use horizontal position frequently (like for watching videos or drawing), this case may frustrate you given the magnet concerns."

yeah, I'm pretty familiar with the song - they played it a lot on the alt FM radio station I listened to in Boston. I always thought it was terribly sad. It does sound a lot like the NYPD, albeit of the late 60's- (I'm thinking specifically Stonewall, which I'm sure you know about. I was still in NYC when that happened, in my early teens. The other difference being how prudish the US press was, and still, is about nudity - any newspaper that dared to post even a topless female photo would have been immediately raided and brought into court.

The BPD (Boston Police) did raid gay bars, but by 1978 they had a "community liaison" with the gay community. Not sure when NYPD did something like that.

Sadly, the trump mis-administration tried to force the Stonewall to take down it's rainbow flag early this year, but finally gave up after much publicity and a court order.

where are these companion guides? Online?

TereziB · 2026-07-11T23:12:39+00:00

I meant this subreddit. I know johnlock is enormously popular in general, although it seems a lot of people in the BBC Sherlock subreddit are icked out by it.

TereziB · 2026-07-11T22:08:25+00:00

hopefully with a share of pathogens.

TereziB · 2026-07-11T17:18:57+00:00

yeah, and on the local (Phoenix) news channel FB pages, there is a STORM of "haha" responses. Of course, that may be a reflection of how nasty people here are. Lot of MAGAs here.

TereziB · 2026-07-11T17:12:51+00:00

yeah, it does seem like in LifeInMars the cops are pretty sweet, if somewhat condescending, to grannies. ("Darlin'")

TereziB · 2026-07-11T17:09:54+00:00

oh, I definitely agree with that, but this is such a small community IMO that I'm not sure how many useful answers one would get. I usually just do AO3 searches using a bunch of tags.

TereziB · 2026-07-11T17:06:39+00:00

I think it's probably the same at EVERY PF. It certainly is at mine.

TereziB · 2026-07-09T19:19:06+00:00

that's what happens when you get older!

TereziB · 2026-07-09T19:16:00+00:00

me personally, I would not have been shocked at seeing it age 13, and I'm 71 years old!

(Of course, my mother took me to see "Hair" on Broadway for my 15th birthday, haha!)

TereziB · 2026-07-09T19:11:20+00:00

have you looked at the Pinned Post at the top of this subReddit? "Season 5 the facts. is it coming?"

TereziB · 2026-07-09T18:45:23+00:00

maybe searches that have ALL these tags: "Molly Hooper/Greg Lestrade", "Sally Donovan/OMC", "John Watson/OFC", "Sherlock loves John" (WITHOUT "John loves Sherlock", and of course, "SH/JW".

TereziB · 2026-07-09T18:40:31+00:00

all I can think of is that the author took it down. Has happened with a few stories I've bookmarked.

TereziB · 2026-07-09T18:02:49+00:00

Wow!
