I love the smell of patchouli! My hippie sister (eldest) used to burn incense when I was a wee one and she was... a teenaged hippie burning incense. Because she liked the smell. Mmmmm-hmmmm.
Anyway, love patchouli.
And remember, if you hurt her, I will beat you to death with a shovel.

Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Patchouli equals instant asthma attack for me.

I know what never to send you in a gift exchange!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I like the smell of patchouli but yeah, I can't breathe in the actual incense smoke for long or my lungs go on strike.
How far from DC do you live, Zen?
JenP, about two hours, with normal traffic. The same as to Roanoke, where I go once a month for physical therapy. It's not a bad trip.
Just got off the phone with my BFF. Her mother is in the hospital; she had blurry vision in one eye, they did a MRI and discovered multiple brain aneurysms. In an old, overweight, hypertensive alcoholic, it's worrisome. She's been in the ER since last night waiting for a bed in ICU, which is, of course, full. This fucking year.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
sj, I hope your pain eases soon.

Health ~ma to your friend's mom, Zen. That's scary.

Ann, that's a ferret.
How far from DC do you live, Zen? There's some legal yet tomfooleryish way to get it in DC, I'm told
You can possess in DC, and you can give as a gift, but you can't sell. When Ex started using, he went to a place that would sell T-shirts for some insanely expensive price like $50 and include a free gift with purchase. (I don't know how much -- I stayed away because my employer frowns on using such things.)

Our wings are not tired.
Having dinner tonight with my DIL's mother. She is determined to fix the strain between my son and his wife and my husband. I enjoy her company, but don't think she can accomplish miracles.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I enjoy her company, but don't think she can accomplish miracles.
Maybe she's going to lace the five-layer dip with Ecstasy.

Our wings are not tired.
We are going to our favorite Sushi/Thai place. So at least I know a happy belly will happen. Nice day so we can eat outside too.
