  both sexes! what is your favorite scent-cologne/aftershave/perfume?

  i have always loved perfumes and oils and i have quite a collection that i use as the mood strikes...but i am getting low on many of them and it is time to think about making that birthday gift list sooooooo... what do you wear and what do you like and why?.

  my all-time innocent favorite is muguet des bois(lily of the valley)--reminds me of my youth and a cousin who gave it to me as a gift who is passed now.... but i also love the scent of lilac, usually in an oil.. my favorite perfumes are: obsession, rare rubies(avon), coty wild musk, revlon's fire and ice, white shoulders, sand and sable, ck's truth, (and also mesmerize, odyssey, foxfire, jasmine, raining violets, honeysuckle, lemon velvet, hawaiian white ginger--all old classic avon you can only find at flea markets or once a year in the book.).

  but i need something new....i like the oriental/spicy blends, but not for all the time.

  Armageddon arrived just as predicted invisibly. Only those with eyes of faith can discern the thrilling events that have unfolded – Our job now is to preach the good news to those not aware of the significance of world events and the fulfillment of bible prophecy. Very soon now God will destroy the wicked and bring about the earthly paradise for those who heed the message of salvation.

  i had a discussion with an 'associate' i used to know back in my meeting days last night.

  he really did show what it means to be a brainwashed victim of the watchtower.

  i told him about false prophecies, and how the wt claims to be a true prophet of god.

  Girls Have Cow-Like Sex Drive According To Watchtower

  by AlanF in

  2. humour

  how can girls guard against temptation in this sex-crazy world?.

  when a girl reaches the age of puberty or physical maturity, her body has developed in the matter of sex more than in the mind.

  young folks like to be together, first in groups, later in twos.

  It's called "comparative advantage". It's always better to sell what you're really good at producing and buy the stuff that you're not so good at producing, even if you're okay at producing it. I always advise people, even my fellow Aussies, to buy NZ lamb if they can get it.

  I agree -

  I don’t agree with Governments that subsidize local but inefficient producers or build tariff walls that exclude other “Friendly” nations produce. If the local product is more expensive to produce it should be reflected in the price. It’s all very well waving the patriotic flag but fact of the mater is it is most people would not support the local economy if doing so hurt them in the pocket. It’s not as if New Zealand or Australia are third world countries producing shoddy goods. Often (but not always) imported product is superior to that produced locally.

  Remember New Zealand and Australia is on the opposite side of the world from the UK and half a world away from the USA but who set troops to defend the UK during WWII. Many thousands of New Zealand and Australian soldiers died defending the UK and USA and yet when it comes to “fair” trade Australia and New Zealand products are ridiculed as “Cheep Imports”.

  Who made the car you drive?
