I'm so old I Remember when:

Wasn't it determined a few years ago that that smell is actually bad for you because it's the result of chemicals in the fabrics and plastics outgassing?

I wouldn't know. I do know that the formaldehyde fumes in new trailers in the Arizona heat is definitely bad for you.

I have actually encountered people in desperate need of such products. They actually left a trail of odor and if you crossed it, the miasma would cling to you and your clothes and hair until you showered. Truthfully, these people did not need these products so much as they needed a lengthy shower, shampoo and to burn their clothes. And maybe some education about the importance of personal hygiene.

Still, I have to ask how much of our body cracks and crevices have we suddenly allowed others to access that requires the additional use of deodorant…..assuming soap and water has also been preciously employed.

A LOT of stuff is bad for you in the Arizona heat. Most manufactured products are not tested for safety in terms of baking in 90+ temps for months at a time. You have to be super careful in the desert. Safety standards and longevity conditions for the rest of the country just don't apply here.

It makes me laugh when I look at a seed packet and it says "full sun." They sure as heck don't mean our full sun.

Did you change your avatar or is this the first time I'm noticing my mom's candy dish?

And often, I don't see them until AFTER I have hit the Post button!

I can relate.

 

[jxp]

And that is exactly what they wanted you to do. Give them more free advertising.

Oh I give this company's delicious lemonade all the advertising I can.

Reversed letters, incorrect letters, etc.

Maybe you were reading Russian and didn't realize it.

Body Odor. My little brother is a good example of that.

My oldest had the worst smelling feet as a teenager. Mostly it was due to him constantly wearing the same sneakers every day, often without socks. It got to the point where I made him remove them before entering the house and leaving them outside. Teenage boys. Sheesh.

I can remember when the NCAA changed college basketball rules to make dunking the basketball against the rules. This was done because of one person, Lew Alcindor.

They had no idea what a favor they did him.

Because of the dunk ban, he was forced to develop his "sky hook" which was unstoppable.
