I don't wear scented anything because I work in a scent-free workplace. (As are most places in Halifax.)

Wow, really?

I don't wear any scent because I'm lazy and don't care that much.

I think there's a difference between calling people "honey" or "sweetie" as a term of endearment versus using it as a marker of status, if that makes any sense. "Honey, get me a cup of coffee" just smacks of male entitlement to me, but in the south, people use endearments. It happens.

oh absolutely. There's definitely a difference.

Oh, and What Dana Said about the "endearments" thing. Calling a stranger something stupid is entirely different from referring to a co-worker as "the little gal." I have heard people in the 21st century refer to their assistant as "my girl" or whatever, and it's appalling.

I only use endearments with people I know. I think.

I'm kinda too lazy for perfume. But I'm a complete sucker for those lavender fabric softener sheets, so I probably smell like that. And dove products. If I manage anything, it's probably some lavender scented handcream from Bath&Body. It's a sharp scent, not sweet at all.

I wear a perfume almost everyday, but do not use scented soaps. I alternate btw 3-4 scents. I mostly put lilac oil dabbed in my hair in the summer.

I don't wear scent because I am sensitive to most women's perfumes, and to about half of the men's colognes I've smelled. (The cheaper the scent, the worse the reaction.)

However, I do use lightly scented lotion and soap from St. Ives. They don't kick off the reaction (unlike Bath & Body Works, hoo-boy).

So, if one had a lot of pictures to submit to Venus, should one perhaps put a zip file up somewhere and submit the location for download to Venus?

Or just email them one or five at a time?

I was really irritated a while back when a 20 something male bartender said "what can I get you, sweetheart"? ugh. or is that just me.

I call children "sweetie" all the time and have no objection to seeing it used as a friendly appellation among people who know one another well. But part of it is the older man/younger woman dynamic and my bristling at anything that smacks of unasked-for, gratingly jocular fake-paternalistic attitude and the implied condescention that goes along with it, *especially* when it's used at work place. It just makes me see red.

This is me. I have some rosewater that I might splash on if I think of it, but I hardly ever think of it.
