My username is my other hobby since I was a teenager....sneakers. I grew up in the 90's when Michael Jordan was in his prime and been in love with sneakers in general since my Mom bought me my first pair of Jordan's. Since I quit smoking, I have more money at my disposal to buy more sneakers!!! Lol, just kidding....I'm 31 & my main focus is to continue saving for retirement. I have obtained 250+ pairs of all types of shoes since I was a late teenager (graduated in '99) and I have a lot pairs I keep unused just in case I want to sell my collection. It might be part of my retirement money as well lol. I would say if I sold all my pairs today in today's current market, I could possibly make at least $30,000 for my shoes alone.
In college, a friend told me he remembered my real name (Brandon), because his daughter always called her uncle (his brother) badanden. After that, the nickname stuck with me for years. That and Mr. B, which I hated.
I CAME to ECF to read informations and technological advancements in E-cigarettes. I SAW the truth from CASAA regarding the level of safetiness with ecigs compared to real smoking. I now vape. I did not intend to quit but so proud to be smoke-free for 4 months now. VENI VEDI VAPO.
makaluch [mock - uh - looch] . Translated from NYer-speak is 'Mark-a-Looch'
When I was a kid my Uncles would grab my face, pull their middle finger back, very far, and release....resulting in a stinging red mark right between my eyes. They called this torture technique a makaluch, and thought it was funny to call me that. It stuck well into my teens and my family back home still calls me that from time to time into my 40s.
They also use to hold me in the air by my ankles upside down, another would hold my hands down, and the third would quickly slap my bare belly 100,000 times really really fast; it's called a pink belly. I'm glad they chose to call me by the stinging red mark between my eyes instead...lol. And, I do not live in NY anymore...I miss my ...... Uncles sometimes...hehehe.

Jicky is a perfume from Guerlain, created in 1889 and it's still around and popular today.
Jicky Guerlain perfume - a fragrance for women 1889
It's a fabulous scent, not one of my favs but the name is catchier than "Mitsouko" and sounds more like a name than "La Nuit" or "Coromandel".
