CHIT CHAT in VOLTVILLE

[JoAnnW]

Howdy everyone and Happy Friday!

I wish I knew how to do the reply to multiple posts but it just doesn't work for me. Still very cold here but at least it's sunny so I took Spanky for a nice outing which of course he loves.

Tail, I'm not familiar with the store that you mentioned but I'm going to check out Bath and Body Works to see if they carry the honeysuckle body wash and lotion. I do love that scent but for some reason, the actual flowering bush makes me sneeze.

Hi Raynes! Hope all is well with you. Please let Rave know that she and Blues are still very much in my thoughts and prayers.

Take care everyone and I'll be checking in later. A few more errands to run. Hopefully we will hear more from Officer too!

One of the reasons I like NAS is that it is one place where everything gets stored, photos, videos, application installs, registration numbers and so on. That keeps me from having to try to remember which machine I was on when I saved that all important data. Right now I have a 500gig drive in the desktop I'm using at the moment, that serves as that repository. I just want redundancy for the data so it doesn't get lost. My desktop is on 24/7/365 and my laptop is on, typically, 18 hours a day (I'm into Seti@home and Einstein@home).

Hey Officer! Great to see you back here again and can't wait for some of your "pithy" comments ROFL. No, I haven't been run out of here on a rail, yet, but have come close once in a while.

I started typing that MEN do not have bubble baths or strange soaps but then i remembered you are a woman LOL.

Not only that, but there's no law against men using soap that smells good, if they want to. I'm a woman, and I like nice-smelling soap, but if I put it in the shower, Bill uses it, too, and never complains. I don't think the scent of the soap stays on a person as much as you can smell it while bathing. As for masculine smells, I love the smell of bay rum on Bill. You have to be careful of what kind you get, though. We usually buy Royall, which smells great but is expensive. Recently I tried another one that's cheaper that got lots of good reviews, and it's not the same at all.

We don't have a World Market here, or I'd go get some of that honeysuckle soap! I remember fondly some lovely French hyacinth soap I got at Caswell-Massey when I lived in NYC. My favorite now is either peppermint or orange Dr. Bronner's soap. I go through soap phases, but I sure do like nice-smelling soaps. I was in an almond-scented soap phase a while ago, and another favorite is clove spice from 17th Century Suds.

Yes i do it too but i do it secretly

 

[marlou]

Just checking in to let you all know I'm still among the living.

Officer, good to see you're back! I've often wondered how you are doing.

I just ordered more nic and flavors from WL. They must be working like bees to catch up. As soon as SI gets in the mini T3s I'm going to order them. Also a couple more stick batts. My 65mm are all pretty old and some are starting to act a bit tired. I think of ecigs as a commodity so I'm stocking up. lol

You don't need to be ashamed of liking good smells. I think men shouldn't have so many hang-ups about having to be manly. Life would be easier on both sexes if everyone could just be what they want to be without having to adhere to some society's standards.

I looked at their online site and don't see it listed. I hope it has not been discontinued!

I've been busy writing to my state senator about SB648. I received a call to action from CASAA about it, so I wrote her a real letter, not just an email. I had to look up how to write a formal letter as it's been years and years since I wrote one! It will go out in the mail tomorrow.

Now I've got to get up and get the domestic chores done.

 

[SandySu]

I guess you can tell how much I love phlox, huh?

 

[StrangeShay]

Yay, don't have to be the first guy to admit to it! The best part is my girlfriend is constantly buying new bubble baths and soaps to try so we have at least a stores worth of choices at any given moment.

Another great scent is cucumber melon that comes in a bar, liquid body wash and lotion. It has a very light summery smell and I get a lot of compliments when I wear it. My hubby won't use that one because he says it's too girly but he loves it on me. There are a few that I have that he will use too.

Laugh a Little

It seems an attractive widow who lived on a ranch alone decided it was time to hire a ranch hand.
After some advertising, she had to choose between a drunken cowboy or a gay cowboy.

Thinking she might get more work and be safer around the gay cowboy she ended up hiring him.

This worked out great, as he worked very hard and never bothered the woman. After months of hard work 7 days a week, the woman told the cowboy that he needed to have some relaxation and urged him to go into town.

The gay cowboy went into town and it was about 3:00 AM when he finally returned to the ranch. The attractive widow was sitting seductively by the fire. As he came into the room, she ask him to remove her blouse, then she ask him to remove her skirt, and then her panties and bra.

She then told him that if he ever wore her clothes again, she would have to fire him.

Can you post the link to that store anyway? I'd like to see some of their other products too. Maybe the honeysuckle is out of stock...

That is so crazy that California is trying to ban ecigs! Hopefully something can be done to head that off. To even consider whether someone, mainly renters, can smoke/vape in their own homes is outrageous. These crazy ideas can very well spread to other states as well.

 

[cindycated]

JoAnn, maybe you know them as Cost Plus? There's one in Rockville and one in Washington DC. If they're close to you, maybe give the store a call?

www.worldmarket.com I've bought a bunch of stuff there. I love their stores and can spend a good deal of time looking at everything. Decent prices too.

Even if the stupid law passes, I doubt that anyone would pay it much attention. What people do in their own homes (rented or bought) should be up to them. Landlords would probably love vaping more because it doesn't yellow everything and make the entire house smell bad. A dropped ecig in bed wont burn the apartment complex down too!

They are World Market here, I go to the Rockville one at least every other week, unfortunately I think the Rockville one is the closest one to Baltimore, which depending on where in Balt JoAnn is could be 45min-1.5 hours drive each way...

Thanks Tail !! I'm going to look around.

Who thinks up these crazy laws? There will be a ton of lawbreakers everywhere if they insist on passing such stupid laws.

Thanks Cindy. I'm not familiar with that one either but will look around on the internet and check store locators too.

Hi Strange.

That's a lot of driving just to smell pretty

Nice to see Marlou, Raynes, Kico, 1st Officer, Q, Cindycated, Tail, SandySu, Awsum, Kon, The Wabbit and some new faces here today!

Missing Deb, Raven, Blues.

Oh yeah, Joanne and little Spanky are here today, too

 

[Tail11]

California has a lot of crazy stuff on the law books that rarely are enforced. There are a bunch of commercials on TV trying to get "A smoke free California". While I agree with that, picking on vapers and lumping us in with combustible users is ridiculous.

One in Rockville? Oh well, I think I'll take the internet route if they have one but this is good to know. Really though I don't think I'll drive 3 hours just to go shopping. I don't like driving that much. Internet shopping has made me very lazy.
