(Fluff thread.)

I've taken a full-time job in retail sales and I notice a lot of women, especially older ladies, are wearing a fragrance that smells very much like bug spray. Can someone explain this to me? It's very unappealing. I don't get it. Are these women trying to attract a man, or repel mosquitos? Any help would be appreciated.

It's only unappealing to insects and rodents, twinsoft. Draw your own conclusions.

So glad you're back, KRS my brother!

BTW, quick English lesson:

it's (contraction, short for it is.)
its (possesive pronoun, as in, the dollar is losing its value.)

I know you do a lot of writing; hopefully this will help you avoid future embarassment.

Uh, does your bug spray induce blindness as well? Look again.

Hi krs and twinsoft!

Sometimes the more things change, the more they remain the same... ROFL.

Anyone for a group hug?

I just ran it through babblefish & it gave me this:

S'cool, Eventer. I'm not really into the geriatric thing, y'know? Draw your own conclusions.

twinsoft,

I don't care if krs & you want to duke it out. My post was strictly to point out that krs used the correct contraction.

As to your original question, I can't speak for your area of the country, but down here in the South, we've had West Nile virus show up. More people ARE wearing bug spray because of it.

Carry on...

Hey, I'm confused! Twinsoft, didn't you change your handle to gratefuldad? When did you change it back?

BTW, KRS did write it correctly.

ROFL @ you two....

About perfume (and cologne), I think most of it smells awful. Especially Cool Water and similar ones. Bleah! Bug spray indeed. Give me a spicy scent or give me nuthin'.

Gratefuldad is my eBay ID, and also my domain at www.gratefuldad.com. Looking for a new server now. Twinsoft was my handle a couple of years ago, but I never updated my ID on AW because the last time I did, there was such a fuss.

BTW, KRS' error was in ANOTHER thread *duh* and don't ask me for a link. 'Just trying to help KRS avoid looking like a complete jackass but some help is beyond even my powers.

Anyway, just a few hours left for you guys to get a few kicks in. Yo, Spazmo! 'Sup? (P.S., I never did like you. )
