"Baccala offended" <------ Great name for a rock band!

I think that is a big part of the problem...and not everyone understands that's what happens.

That 'special' bottle of perfume you received as a gift 10 years ago, is not wine...and has not become better with age.

There is a particular female fragrance (I don't know what it is and can't really describe it, but I can tell immediately when it's near)...that involuntarily makes me squinch my nose.

While I don't know what it is, I do know...that it seems to be fairly popular around here.

OOh my -- forgive me

I saw a t-shirt that said " That was not a F--t .... my a$$ just blew you a kiss."

Just remember that old saying..."flatulence is next to Godliness."


I think that's how it goes.

The word of the day is - "ignore". As in, add to the ignore list.

Back to wearing white socks now, but walking around in open-toed shoes will have to wait another few days. I can go in the pool, finally, but only as long as I bandage up again when I get ready to go back to the house.

On-topic: wearing too much of any scent is overwhelming to most people, but some folks are more sensitive than others, and some are especially sensitive to certain fragrances or natural essential oils. I have an old miniature bottle of Shalimar that belonged to my mom. She kept it on her dresser and I remember seeing it back in the 1960's. It could be even older than that but I was born in '61 so I wouldn't remember any further back The alcohol has completely evaporated, leaving just a brown smudge of perfume base at the bottom of the bottle. When I open it, it smells exactly as it did when it was full, over 50 years ago. I open it once in awhile when I'm feeling nostalgic. The smell brings back good memories.

You actually danced barefoot in the town square?

The next time you smell that "aroma," you need to ask that person what is the name of the perfume they are wearing.

That way, depending upon who your friends are or aren't, they can make a decision whether to wear it or not. It will be a silent clue for you.

Heh, heh!

This thread is starting to slide into a dark space. Can we just say it’s not appropriate to wear excessive perfume or cologne. If you notice someone has put on a bit too much, simply ignore or sit farther away. Lastly, this is unlikely due to mental illness, if it were every HS in America is filled with mentally ill children.

I find myself guilty of wearing too much. In my case it’s of matter of no longer smelling that scent. I alternate between two colognes, odd days, even days. The same two colognes for the last 20 yrs. When I get in a crew van and a person 4 rows back says, “who’s wearing abc?” I am sooo embarrassed. Is my lack of awareness a function of age, maybe, I’m 57 so no spring chicken.

Also, I agree with Grace. Not that I believe we should all be politically correct but we should be considerate. Many people suffer from memory disorders and it’s devastating. I have a cousin, 81 yo. Last year he was diagnosed with the big “A” and it’s progressing rapidly. What a horrible, horrible disease. Wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy. He suffers so much. Less than 20 years ago he was a 747 Captain flying all over the world, no he’s in assisted living and not permitted to drive.

Ms Midnight, you are a mischief! No misogyny gets by you. Or bad perfume either....

Nope, it will be about people wearing flip flops and sandles. You know... "those" people with stinky feet and bad pedicures.

On the bright side, if these are the biggest problems that people in TV can come up with, I can't wait to get there..

At the risk of sounding like a developer worshiper...it’s a pretty cool place.

I think when you encounter someone who has an "odor" or wears too much perfume or has their lipstick smeared on too thing, we should smile, wish them a nice day and say "There but for the Grace of God, go I"! Because we're all going to be there someday! Those ladies and gents have led a long life and are happy to still be able to get around. We should not look down on them for things they really can't help! You might have to wear a Diaper one day yourself. I'm sure it's not fun, but if it keeps them up and moving, I say go for it!

Be careful.
