    Hairspray That Smells Like Hairspray

    I love hairsprays that smell like hairspray. Back in the 70s and 80s, I used Adorn (white/pink can), White Rain (white/purple bottle), and L'Oreal Studio Mega Spritz (when it was in the white bottle). Now days all the hairspray seems to smell fruity and nothing like hairspray. The garbage...

    That the musky smell in colognes are from a deer's sex gland?

    There was an episode of Extreme Cheapskates where a woman made tuna salad out of cat food because it was cheaper than regular tuna fish. Her ex-husband ate a big sandwich of it and declared it delicious ~ he didn't know it was cat food. Egads!

    That the musky smell in colognes are from a deer's sex gland?

    I can't really answer your question, Tiki Tom, about the inner workings of the IFRA, nor can I list every banned substance. Here's an article that may help some: https://www.fragrantica.com/news/Forbidden-Smell-is-Sweet-IFRA-and-Fragrance-Safety-8073.html

    That the musky smell in colognes are from a deer's sex gland?

    Actually, the International Fragrance Association (IFRA) has banned the use of things like animal products, i.e. deer musk and civet oil, as well as a whole slew of other ingredients such as real oakmoss and bergamot, in perfumes. Perfumers are now required to use synthetic versions of these...

    Then and now

    What I'm not understanding, in addition to all the white, is the institutional gray that's so prevalent in the homes for sale in our area. I'd feel like I was living in a prison with all that dull gray surrounding me. The worst color I've seen to date was when my brother-in-law's ex painted...

    Bad things on TV, then and now.

    Actually, Donny was the long-time lead in Andrew Lloyd Webber's production of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. He and Marie just recently decided to quit their long running show in Las Vegas. He's done very well for himself.

    The "Annoying Phrase" Thread

    I'm also a suburbanite living in a "planned community" built from 1980 to 1981. By "planned community," I mean that there are different subdivisions for single family homes, townhouses, and condominiums that all share the community centers, tennis courts, basketball courts, and swimming pools...

    Your favorite toys as a kid?

    My two favorite toys were my musical Raggedy Ann doll and my Mrs. Beasley doll. Had I kept them, and in pristine condition, they'd be worth a small fortune now. But, no regrets, I had a great time playing with them.

    Bad things on TV, then and now.

    I happen to like The Masked Singer very much. Can't wait to watch tonight's finale. After listening to him for 49 years, I guessed from the first few notes out of the Peacock's mouth and I'm 99.999% sure that it's Donny Osmond. It's also been renewed for a second season. Update: I was...

    Have You Ever Met A Movie/TV Star or Celebrity?

    When I lived in Northern VA in the 1980s, I met some old Washington Redskin players - Art Monk, Brian Mitchell, Curtis Jordan (who almost ran me over in a parking lot), and Joe Jacoby (the man is the size of a tree!). Wasn't too thrilled to meet any of them, although Monk and Mitchell were very...

    You know you are getting old when:

    DH and I love Live PD, and having viewed every episode, I am of the opinion that most police officers don't get paid nearly enough money for the crap they have to take and the stupid people they have to deal with. Personally, I no longer have the patience to deal with stupid people, especially...

    Today in History

    Tears of a Clown, one of my favorite songs of all time.

    Happy Birthday...

    A Happy Belated Birthday to my favorite 70s singer, Donny Osmond. He turned 61 on the 9th.

    America Gets The Bird

    Trust me, you don't want the LG HE washer or the dryer either. I keep hoping my washer will die so I can get rid of it and the dryer. Our clothes, especially the whites, haven't been clean since we got that piece of junk!

    America Gets The Bird

    Don't even get me started on modern appliances. In a word - junk! Modern HE washers and dishwashers are nothing but stinking, mold-growing pieces of expensive, but cheaply made crap. About 10 years ago I bought a set of vintage Pyrex mixing bowls and two 1950s made glass pitchers and they are...

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    Just last night a friend of mine was complaining that while she can get a lot of temporary positions as an administrative assistant, she can't get a permanent position. She left her last permanent job to care for her mother who was suffering from dementia and old age and was out of the...

    Nutty Neighbors

    A couple of years ago, we were watching TV about 1 a.m. and someone tried to open our front door, which was thankfully locked. Called 911. Come to find out it was the drunk friend of a neighbor who'd come to the wrong house. This wasn't the first time this drunk guy had bothered one of his...

    You know you are getting old when:

    I remember those erasers, I hated them because they smudged or tore a hole in the paper. Of course, maybe I just didn't know how to properly use them. :oops: FYI, The Monkees' Mike Nesmith's mom, Bette Nesmith Graham, was the inventor of White Out.

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    I used to always make sure I put my shopping cart back where it belonged when I finished with it. It was just the way I was raised. Because of severe arthritis in both my knees, now I have to use the electric scooters to shop. Most of the stores I go to have a designated area in front of the...

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    With all of the TV reboots and movie remakes, it makes you wonder if Hollywood has run out of original ideas. I just read a couple of days ago that Bewitched is being rebooted with Samantha and Darren as an interracial couple - Samantha will initially be a single mom who then marries Darren.
