Jackie's saying that if you rename this thread the perfume thread, she won't have a Right Now I'm... thread where she can post.

OOHHH, yeah - Ralph Lauren's Polo and also Aramis both gross me out.

Jackie, I don't understand you. Reword, please."

Sorry, Sally. I guess that was too jargony. I have these Japanese comic-book style stories, that come out in series, that are called manga. They can have 20 or 30 books in the series, by the time they're done.

So, one library in my library system didn't have enough space in their shelves for some of these manga, and they sent them to me to deal with.
If they're in okay shape, I pick a different library for them to live at. And that's what I'm doing right now, deciding what library these books should be sent to.

Yes, that! Thanks, Heidi!

Jackie "the Librarian" wrote: "Yes, that! Thanks, Heidi!"

Anytime. :)

[Sally, la reina]

You guys :P

Jackie, the manga should go in the "hip" section, near the art books and the crime fighting biographies.

Heidi, this thread has been hijacked for longer on weirder topics. I feel like this was a general good smells convo that has momentarily sidetracked into perfume smells, but might just as suddenly veer into cut grass and freshly broiled steaks directions.

Who likes blue cheese on their steaks? (I do! I do!)

[Sally, la reina]

under the log near the stream below the forest glen?

[Heidi]

I've never tried bleu cheese on my steaks. I love steak in general! And I like bleu cheese. Marrying the flavors? Is it good? Tell me more. I take my steaks very seriously.

[RandomAnthony]

I love blue cheese on veggie burgers.

[Sally, la reina]

Mmmm, marrying the flavors indeed. The tang of the cheese nicely balances the uumph of the steak. Better still is to wash it down with a nice full red cab.


Don't mind me, I'm just going to go on planning my first post-pregnancy meal.

[Heidi]

You can't eat steak or bleu cheese right now?

[Sally, la reina]

No bleu cheese or red wine.

[Heidi]

Ahhh. I've never been pregnant, so I don't know these things. I do know the no wine/alcohol thing, though.

[Lori]

No steak?

I didn't know about bleu cheese, yikes, I wonder if that's why Jake is so crazy, can't remember if I had it while pregnant.

I just remember the loss of clams, one of my favorite meals.

[Heidi]

No clams, either?!!

[Heidi]

I have a newfound appreciation for women who go through pregnancy.

I mean, I already appreciated them, but I had nooo idea!

[Félix]

Ah, but the sacrifice has only begun ....

[Mary]

Word. I can't imagine going 9 minutes, much less 9 months, without coffee.

[Heidi]

NO COFFEE, either?!!

[Charlie]

I'm wondering why my book has to be shipped from NC to Seattle just so I can ship it back to IN. It would save so much time if the printing press could just ship it directly to the warehouse. I'm a bit jealous, my writing is doing more traveling than me at the moment. So....I keep staring at the computer screen and clicking buttons hoping to find some way to make this happen, but it's not and I'm frustrated. Time is money, time is money...I'll say it again, time is money! Bah!

[Lori]

Oh posh, I had coffee, my ob said it was just fine. I only drink one mugga in the morning anyway, I think the coffee rule is not to have lots.

You know, women have been having babies for thousands of years, and drinking coffee for centuries.

Shellfish, especially with the state of the oceans, I can understand. Booze I can understand. Except did ya know that beer is recommended to bring on labor if you are running late?

[Mary]

My sister Carrie was a fanatic while she was PG, both times. She practically limited herself to bread and water. Were I ever to get knocked up, please god NO, I suspect I would be a bit more lax. Hell, my mother smoked while she was preggers with me, and I'm fine.


*lights another ciggie from burning end of previous ciggie*

*coughs up smallish blob of black gunk*

[Félix]

Oh, Mary.

[Lori]

Yes an occasional glass of wine is fine. The booze rule came around because of the fetal alcohol syndrome that many babies born especially in the 50s suffered from, when drinking during lunch and throughout the day was pretty norm.

As Bun says, it's all about moderation. Hysteria abounds in the last decade.

[Félix]

I used to live in Hysteria Abounds. It's right near Desolation Gulch.

[Kevin]

as for my scent, my bouquet is generally something to be described as a combo of chainsaw fuel, testosterone and lime verbena

[Sally, la reina]

meh. you smell like Zest and deodorant.

[Kevin]

correct. with hot sauce on my breath

[Félix]

I used to date Josie. Actually.

[Jackie "the Librarian"]

Right now I smell like laundry detergent. At least, my clothes do. Eau de Tide.

[Félix]

Jackie, is it low tide or high tide?

[Jackie "the Librarian"]

It's High Efficiency Tide, for front-loading washers, Larry.
I don't think low tide scented detergent would sell all that well...

[Félix]

Uh ... yup.

[Heidi]

I'm wearing Silver Mountain Water by Creed today.

[Félix]

But Heidi ....

[Heidi]

What?

[Kevin]

Beckham for me, cause i bend it like....

[Félix]

Heidi wrote: "What?"

Nothin'. :)

[Heidi]

This is exactly why I wanted to start a perfume thread, Sally - I want to keep talking about it! And everyone else seems to have moved on. :(

[Félix]

sniff sniff

[Heidi]

>:F

[Félix]

So ... start a thread.

[Cosmic Sher]

"Beckham for me, cause i bend it like...."

Hmmm.... I really, really want to ask what it is you bend like Beckham, but that's prolly going too far.

I have to say that when a guy wears Halston Z-14 I am putty. I luuuuuuuuuuuurve that stuff!

Sally's still conducting the poll. :|

[Félix]

Oh.

[smetchie]

My rules of thumb for toxins while impregnated:
have a beer, not a 6-pack.
have coffe, not a whole pot.
if it's summer and someone brings you crabs. eat em.

[Félix]

Heidi wrote: "Sally's still conducting the poll. :|"

Wow. You really are anal retentive.

Just kidding, Heidi.

[Cosmic Sher]

I remember sharing a margarita with my dh when we went out to a nice place while preggos. It was the best margarita I think I've ever had!

Gretchen, I really like your rules of thumb. :)

[Félix]

Mmmmmmmmmm ... crabs. And a six pack.

I was just being polite. I don't want to usurp Sally's poll. So, I'll wait for at least a day until I start a new thread, maybe more depending on the answers. :)
