sometimes i feel like venting in a (semi)civilized manner.

dear someone,

don't enter my house again while wearing ridiculous amounts of perfume. i can smell you through my door, even though it's been a while since you left. when i open the door i gag, because you felt like showering the place in perfume. don't ever do that again.

My older son has a friend that smells like a whore, according to my husband. Every time the kid leaves, our house stinks like cologne for a day or two.

Is that a female or male friend?

When I saw "whore," my first thoughts went somewhere else...not toward cologne...

Male. His female friends are more subdued.

Oh yes, gag, janine. It's like the sweet old ladies that insist on giving you a hug and then you reek of them the rest of the day.

I'm not a fan of cologne or perfume anyway. The best smell imo is clean, but if you're gonna do it, subtle is the way to go.

great, smelly person has returned.

How is smelly person getting into the residence? Who's letting smelly person in?

one of the roommates.

so tell the kid that perfume/cologne gives you a headache and that he needs to not wear it when visiting where you live. no offense, it's a health thing.

I bet you avoid the cosmetics section of department stores too: the ones where they keep spritzing you with enough scent for 4 people

There's an older woman at work that smells like she rolls in a wading pool of perfume then ladles more perfume over herself before getting out. Some people must not have a functioning sense of smell.

the worst is when someone like that steps into an elevator...

dear someone,

please stop watching over my shoulder. that makes me want to back up really hard and roll over your feet.

dear someone,

light switches not only turn lights on, you can also use them to turn them off. isn't that amazing?

dear someone, please bring me food. I'm really hungry.

actually, strong scents can indeed trigger migraines and some perfumes when worn in excess definitely trigger mine..Opium for one.

during the winter or rainy springs, please,please wipe your shoes off on the pavement or mat before coming into the house.

Dear smetchie,

Would you like some thick-cut bacon?

Dear Smetchie, would you like some crepes w/apple stuffing...i make it w/half whole wheat and half all purpose flour.

Dear Jammies and Michele, would you like to marry me?

Dear Michele, please get an avatar. I JUST CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!!!!

I am a hands on kind of learner. as soon as I find someone to come over to my house and show me how to add an avatar, I will add that avatar or a photo. I am going over to my sister's house for christmas and both her children are pretty good with a computer and maybe I can get them to show me how to do it.

Dear smetchie,

Are you Mormon?

Dear Jammies, I can be if it will help me get some think-cut bacon.

Nothing if not adaptable.

That's bacon cut via telekinesis.

A whore or a $25 whore? There is a difference, you know.

Bacon and telekinesis. Only in TC.

Perhaps the lad who smells like a cheap whore is gay? And why don't you tell him that his scent is heavy and makes him smell like a whore? Suggest he tries a more subtle perfume/aftershave, perhaps :o)

i have never smelt a whore so i have no idea what a whore smells like. i know where they practice their craft, so i could direct you to them, and i know what they look like, but i have no idea how they smell.

I never plan on getting that close to one either. Well not while they are working anyway. :P

Dear self,

Why did you think reading a zombie anthology at bedtime was a good idea?

A cheap one.

Dear dog,

You are not a houseplant. Therefore, the potting soil is not nutritious for you. Please stop eating it before I sic The Ficus on you.

Love,

Your housemate with dying geraniums

Boy I hope Janice Geranium doesn't read this and see that you are killing her relatives.

I'm not! I'm trying to keep them alive. It's the devil dog who keeps eating the potting soil who is killing the plants. :(

That's right, throw the poor computer illiterate dog under the bus because you know he can't defend himself Jammies! :-)

a devil dog and sock zombies, i wonder what your house looks like.

Do they still make Devil Dogs--I mean those chocolate Twinkie-like snack cakes?

Dear Janine,

If you would like to visit, I promise my house is an adorable mid-century ranch, and the sock zombies are unobtrusive.

I think opium would make my headache feel better.

pot works great on headaches. of course, that might be because the euphoria makes you forget you have a headache. unfortunately, pot is illegal. but so are opiates without a prescription. stadol works great.

dear someone---

Please do not tell intimate details over your cell phone in public! I am not interested--and niether is anyoneelse in the restuarant--or bus--or elevator or...

Dear Jammies - do you have a pic of your house? RA needs more info. I'd love to see it.

I love my little ranch house, built in the mid-century, but most definitely not what Wikipedia is talking about.

I think this may mean you are no longer in her will Jammies.

Dear dog,

Jammies is killing the geraniums. Bite her.

Geronimo.

Jammies, looks like you will have to choose between the dog or the geraniums. Is the dog still eating the potting soil?
