We at Arlo & Janis do not think hitting a cat in the head with a door is funny. In our defense, this one just sort of slipped by quality control. In fact, we think physical humor is disgusting, and we are very excited to be present at the dawn of a glorious era, the digital production of comics. In the future, when every panel is a cut-and-paste copy of the initial panel, with only the dialog—and maybe an eyebrow—changing from start to finish, physical humor in the comics will become all but impossible and will disappear from our consciousness altogether. We live for that day.

This was the hot number in my HS and college years. I can directly credit it with me getting lucky once when I was visiting an out-of-town GF. Just after I arrived in town, we were sitting in the front seat of my car and she for some reason opened my toiletry kit; took out and opened my bottle of it; and proceeded to start dabbing it on herself and me.
Of course, alcohol may have been involved, too. 🙂

My fav. You can’t find it in the stores and I have to order it-Raw Vanilla.
Jackie, you’ve mentioned before your use of toasted sugar as an aroma. Intriguing, and I’d like to try it, but how do you get it onto your skin?
Ghost:
I used Canoe back in my younger and wilder days, too! I thought that I was the only one.
It worked for me, too, come to think of it. I can’t recall if alcohol or anything else was involved. Most likely was.
I have body wash, body lotion, body spray, exfoliating sugars, aromatherapy oils, and candles, all in toasted sugar.
Usually my hairdressers comment on it or facial techs, other women. They ask if I have been baking or eating cookies.
Last two men who mentioned last week was a young male cashier I have had check me out since he was a teenager. He is half my age. He asked what fragrance I wore because he said I always smell so good.
Went to hear one of my blue grass jazz friends band, same thing and leaned over and buried his face in my hair. Not band owner, young musician who has known me about 8 years.
Jackie:
Ever listen to Railroad Earth (I’ve mentioned them before; YouTube doesn’t do them proper service), Gipsy Moon, or Elephant Revival?
Rick: Found four albums by Railroad Earth on Amazon Music Unlimited. Just listened to “Take a Bow”. Wasn’t familiar with them but very listenable. Thanks.
I separate Bluegrass into “Twang” and “Not Twang”. They seem to be the latter.
Well, I’ll be darned, Jackie — I was barking up the wrong tree. Sophistication, I lack. Guess I will have to forgo the experience. Sounds great, though!
I will mail you a bottle or two. I love it.
Until Jerry brought up the natural vanilla I had not thought of adding that to bath water. It would be easy to get big bottles of Mexican vanilla.
I remember liking Canoe too. Seems like most of the old favorite scents were originally made by Dana and, fortunately for those who like them, the better ones are still being made by another company. Bob still uses English Leather. Best packaging had to go to Hawaiian Surf (smelled good too) – https://www.etsy.com/listing/196474449/vintage-1960s-rare-hawaiian-surf

Ghost:
I have every one of their CDs, I have seen them in concert three times, and I still cannot categorize them.
At different times, they are bluegrass, new grass, slightly country, slightly rock, slightly psychedelic, slightly electronic, and on and on. But they are always cerebral.
I have decided that the two words that best fit my interpretation of their music are cosmic and eclectic.
I think I WOULD like them. My friend with Captain Ledge is too cerebral. Local places won’t book. It was his guitarist who stuck his face in my hair and said he loved my hair texture and softness and sweet smell.
Bad thing : Good thing
The former was that our phone went dead from Tuesday evening to Thursday afternoon. It was an AT&T problem.
The latter was that, ever since Thursday’s fix, we have received NO calls; in particular, none of the spam trash! Maybe their system detected that this number was not in service and deleted it – I can hope. Before, we’d get 1-3 spammers per day.
Brut user here, and have been so for decades. I cut it 1:1 with 2-propanol to stretch it since it seems rather concentrated.
I was pleasantly surprised to find we have a pretty good cross-section of men’s cologne users here. I sort of suspected usage may have fallen off in recent years, as I don’t recall seeing as many ads for the product as in years past. Of course, I don’t watch the boob-tube as much now either.
The one exception would possibly be for something called Axe, which I would probably reject on the basis of its name alone, which I think is some type of body wash or spray, the ads for which seem to suggest it’s some sort of pheromone-based magic aphrodisiac that causes females to fall all over the user and/or into their beds.
I thought that’s what tequila was for.
Joe Nichols said it was for making clothes fall off:

I have violent allergy attacks from those who pour it over themselves .
Happy birthdayS. On 12 Feb. it’s hard to find something I can post here, but ran across this apropos ‘Rose is Rose.’

Peace,
That is funny emb. I love lavender
Speaking of birthdays, today’s Writer’s Almanac included a reminder that Abraham Lincoln and Charles Darwin were both born on February 12, 1809.
Ghost, I never knew Walken could dance…wow! I think one reason men’s fragrances are not advertised as much as they used to be is that they don’t need to be. A few decades back, men had to be convinced they could wear fragrance and still be manly. Now it is just considered a part of grooming. My Dad wore Old Spice, too. The scent makes me think of burying my face in his shirt while he hugged me.
Trucker, I really like Joe Nichols. “Gimmie That Girl” is a favorite. https://youtu.be/NmekzvbKrF8
I love country and westernot. Even when country wasn’t cool I was closet country.
Bought myself a Bob Mackie recently to remind me of my idol Cher. Never thought I’d see myself in a Mackie.
Bought most beautiful monochromatic Sandstone jacket hand embroidered in giant lighter ivory giant rose floral clusters. I can see Dwight Yoakum on stage in it and skinny jeans.
Next is a Nudie.
The fashion report is ended. My heroes have always been cowboys and still are it seems.
Here’s a song for all us fighting to stay young still and the ones who love beautiful women. Delivered by one of our Oklahoma native cowboys Toby Keith..this ain’t his first rodeo.

Jackie, what is this concept of “once” of which Toby speaks? 😀
A few drops of diesel fuel would take right care of that Lavender Cocoa Butter scent. Back in my cologne-using days, one of my all-female staff once commented that the man she could do anything with (her husband) always smelled like diesel fuel, while the man that was off-limits to her (me) always smelled wonderful.
