Now hold on, I'm gonna press the right pedal harder. I expect us to accelerate.

So....wine. My stomach doesn't like me this morning, despite judicious application of water and tonic alongside the wine. Uhg.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

OMG that woman!

I'm with Jesse. She's tactless.

I have to admit an odd fondness for the smell of Gold Bond powder. I like that whiff of menthol.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Right?? It's not like Sophia is wearing Crap Powder -- it's a smell people like!

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I now feel the need to market Crap Powder, for when you want to smell like crap!

I applied for a couple of new jobs yesterday. One application took me 2 hours. Exhausted. Also my house is a mess, but instead of going home and cleaning last night we went over to my parents'. Dad is in quite a bit of pain from the surgery.

I wish I had a CSA- it is too hard for me to pick one up and take it on the bus, plus most of the CSA's here want you to go work on the farm, which is also hard without a car.

I am really annoyed, but it is clear she thinks she is just being nice. And she is stuck in a car with someone, who, to her, smells awful. I have also heard her on the phone with her (mentally challenged) brother and she is always telling him to shower and put on deodorant because he smells.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Word. And even if someone dislikes that particular smell, its a "clean" smell for heaven's sake -- it doesn't smell like pits or socks or the like.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Sorry hurty msbelle dad.

I continue to be taken aback at that woman. Having a sensitivity to smells is something I'm way familiar with, but there's a clear distinction between saying someone smells bad and someone's wearing a smell you don't like.

The thing is I am also sensitive to smells. I can't deal with "scented" products, but things like Gold Bond I can do because it isn't an artificial smell, it is just what the thing smells like. But I also like the smell of Ben-Gay (in fact putting Ben-gay on my face gets rid of headsches for me)
