...I want to see what happened later when kitty decided he/she was bored of being stuck in that dude's crotch. A speedy kitty exit from a crotch??!! Oh, the tender parts that were never meant to experience claws! :lol:

...WolfM:http://youtu.be/61cY1ILv60kAm going to try to do that right nowP.S. If no update soon - so I'm stuck in a some slightly awkward positionSuch a sweet video at the beginning, before the sisters turned into spiders from outerspace. :lol:More innocence from that bygone era (my mom used to sing this chorus):http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=honSSKeXME8

...Oh, Kim Novak! Surely her naturally aged face would be better than that! Less creepy for sure! I was reminded of the facelift scene in "Brazil"!

...California would be lucky to have you. :)

...Cryptic:I have been doing some research into taking the California bar exam. :!:Oh my goodness!!!

...Cryptic: Andy Tauer has already gone on record saying that he may simply stop shipping his fragrances to EU countries if this legislation is passed, and he may only be the first of many. http://networkedblogs.com/UgCc6Wouldn't it be wild if the US became the epicenter of fine perfumery?

...Cryptic:This will either be popular or else nobody will respond:If you could bonk anybody in the world, who would it be?Pictures are optional.Well, I think you mean "boink," right? :lol:I would boink this guy named John. You guys don't know him.

...Digindirt:I have been trying to grown into my role as the Mommy of a pre-teen by loosening the reigns but it is soooooooo hard! I can only imagine the amount of worrying that goes on. Parents, I don't know how you people do it. Though you have to gradually loosen the reigns so that you'll end up with a 17-year old whose judgment you can trust, right? Look at it like an investment in your own future peace of mind! :lol:

...Journalists are obliged to check their facts, or have their facts checked by a second party, prior to publication.Having an opinion and blogging about it doesn't make us journalists.

...Negative reviews are indeed helpful, but usually only if I can identify a pattern of likemindedness with the reviewer. So many of my favorites have been panned by this person or that, but if someone whose taste I share pans it, it's more meaningful to me. I guess I'm just stating the obvious. 8)

...MiaTrost:So do I and also find them helpful more often than not. Researchers attempts to shed some light on consumer psychology apparently made clear that negative reviews are not only seen as more trustworthy but also perceived as being of greater use. However, a fragrance I do not like or find flat out poorly executed relatively seldom inspires me enough to write a review; I wonder why.My hypothesis is that you have limited time to dwell on these things, and you'd rather dwell on the ones you enjoy.

...The beasties love to drink from the faucet. :lol:

...PontNeuf:I have given up on buying vintages as I was often disappointed with what was left of the originally gorgeous scent.This is what I alluded to earlier, the fact that we can each judge for ourselves as to when purchasing vintage bottles makes sense or doesn't. If a person buys 10 vintage bottles and two have turned, that might be enough for that person to throw in the vintage towel, but for someone else it might not be.BTW, Elena's "article" is meaningless to me. And it is suspiciously wordy and full of questionable assertions, as though it's trying very, very hard to be convincing. "Don't believe everything you read" couldn't be a more pertinent concept in the internet age. Unlike in the days of yore, where an op-ed piece or major magazine article went through multiple filters before it was "published," this is just a glorified blog. That's the problem with the internet, almost anyone can commit their thoughts to cyber print and others will treat it like journalism. It isn't.Now, back to why PontNeuf has a point. Unfortunately, when a fragrance turns, it's not just about losing top notes, I wish it were. It's about middle and base notes that now smell like kerosene. I think maybe 5% of the vintage purchases I've made had sadly turned, and most of these were minis, all splash, which that, I can understand. But I've also purchased a couple of regular size spray bottles that had begun to turn and were about 30 years old, both from Ebay sellers who'd obtained them from estate sales, and both sellers assured me they still smelled "lovely." I won't be buying bottles this old from estate sale Ebayers anymore. For one thing, if a bottle that old is nearly full, it means the deceased lady probably didn't like it very much, and likely didn't take much care to keep it away from heat and light, not thinking ahead to when her children would one day sell off the contents of her home to the highest bidder. On the other hand, the 20-year old bottles of original formula Samsara that I've purchased are absolutely beautiful, with no signs whatsoever of even beginning to turn. And I have other examples. The asking prices for all of these was low enough to risk it, so I did. For the most part, I've not been disappointed by my vintage purchases . . . so far. So Elena can pontificate all she wants, I can make up my own mind.
