i bought a shave soap called Glastonbury that is made to smell like a music festival. smells like patchouli, grass, earth. it's wonderful.
PATCHOULI is one of the worst smells in the history of smells - far worse than (most) ass.
i love patchouli! i think it gets a bad rep when used to cover up the odor of an unclean body. then it smells like ass because the vessel it is on smells like ass.
but generally if there is a candle or a shave soap or any other scenty shit that says it has patchouli in it, guaranteed i will love it and use that shit in my house.
Aw man. I know what you mean about it being mixed with body odor. That just makes it worse. But I think it's still pretty rank. Back in the mid 80's when I first had some hippie friends who wore it, it was one of the bottom 2 essential oils along with Lotus oil. I could stomach lotus if I had to, but Patchouli always smelled rank to me.
If I'm choosing scents (talking more incense than essential oils), Sandalwood and Vanilla are personal favorites. However, O.G. Johnson's Baby Lotion is my favorite smell. A close second was this liquid film (toxic?) stuff we used to make in art when I was a little kid. You dip a looped wire into it or whatever, and it dries as transparent film. Idkwtf that stuff was, but I always loved the smell of it.
And of course for the old Genesis fans, There's a smell of peach blossom and bitter almond

huge fan of vanilla and sandalwood. in fact my favorite shave soap from the same company as before is Vanilla Sandalwood.
My dad’s generation was all about shaving soap. When I first started shaving, I used his soap. It was always in a mug with a brush. But it’s got to have been like 35-40 years. Also, adding a tripping feature into patchouli and body odor amplifies it further. You see Phish enough to know what I’m saying. Haha
Vanilla and spiced (orange, cake, cinnamon) scents are my favorite for essential oils or incense, but for body soap I love clean soap smell like lever 2000. thejeremy rocks the old spice which is nice and not overwhelming, but due to allergies I can't use and don't like super strong scents so everything has to be mild. I tend not to burn incense or candles, I use those wax things that melt by heat or scentiers that burn oil and I never wear perfume or whatever.

Speaking of rank shit, someone microwaved fish today for lunch. Whole first floor smells.
This is a cardinal sin on so many levels.
YOU DO NOT MICROWAVE FISH AND IF YOU DO, I'LL SLAP YOU.
At least have the decency to enjoy your fish cold.
(People in the country have fundamental misunderstandings of what bacteria develops at what speed, etc; and we cook the shit out of everything in the US and in some other specific places).
Note: At family events that know that I only eat fish and eggs and no dairy; I'm often given a huge piece or two of cooked Jamaican style Snapper or Escovich.. I have had my mother ask if I wanted it microwaved to heat it up; I literally stared at her and paused.
My favorite shit show is NCIS and NCIS:New Orleans (for separate awesome reasons)
But I wanted to show a random thought, that just like how CSI dried up; NCIS wouldn't be a pertinent show if we weren't still at war. While they are shoot em up bang bang television, they constantly show casualty of action, which is still somehow palatable to a mainstream audience. I know also because of politics that Mark Harmon basically runs the show; like how on L&O:SVU Mariska took over a lot of the producing too. These shows wouldn't be if we weren't in forever war and if there was attention to assault cases because that's why they still run the numbers pretty damn well.
Except New Orleans... that shit jus'funny as fuck.
I haven't watched but Kyle loves it and thinks it is hilarious. One of my friends was an extra that got bumped up to a speaking role last week. They "blew-up" the Alero Center in Westwego. I wish I could have seen that. I don't watch any of those shows, they just don't do it for me personally, but I like the local stuff due to my new career in the production companies here.
It's true it is hilarious in it's own specific ways, which actually makes it like the new Miami Vice basically.
Also I can tell you know you can't contend with my NCIS analysis Mother of a soon to be active member of the military
And procedural shows are not for everyone, I realize that the quality of them does count a lot too, because there's so many terrible ones that it makes it easy to have distaste for all. Or if they pander (lol they used French Montana in the last episode; come on, come on noooow) - but when certain shows hit a type of stride for characters, people stop minding. It's just easier to be forgettable, and kind of hearkens back to the 80's and 90's type of 3 camera shooting which is dying off in many ways. It can be done pretty well or done so terribly that you want to laugh, in the bad way.
I watched every OG NCIS through the middle of last season. It's a reliable hour of TV.
I have to admit with both NCIS recently (last 5 years); and L&O with Mariska taking over writing after a bunch of people left -- they actually write episodes with some relevant attempt at emotion and of topics that actually matter. I'm actually surprised sometimes when I'm half ass watching, and all of a sudden I hear a conversation worth rewinding for some dumb reason. (Also it's perfect because other than my usual TYT, NCIS' I give a shit about end up on Tuesday without any against it worth watching) and Law & Order can be watched anytime all weekend if you don't get to it on Thursday. It's the perfect hole to watch a shitshow
I’m going to say that it depends on the cut and preparation. There are very acceptable cuts that can be served medium just as there are those that should be rare or medium rare. Again, it depends on the preparation and cut. If you’re doing anything past medium and your steak is beef, it’s probably had the flavor cooked out of it. I usually tell the waitperson to have it prepared as the chef would. Most of the time they’ll tell you chef does this medium-rare which isn’t going to be wrong very often. But some things are better rare and some better medium.
If you really care about the person, you can try and help fix them - right?
Some people have always just had it well done and don't know any better. It wasn't until my early 20s before I realized well done wasn't normal.
When my husband and I met, he told me he didn’t like steak, and I was confused. It turned out he’d just never had one that wasn’t well done.
Same exact thing happened with abrakapokus and I. When she told her mom she had a med rare steak, her mom got mad at me for trying to expose her to food poisoning.
Also, in regards to the original post, she said med rare to medium depending on the day, so everything is ok.

Fair point. I would also like to point out you're one of the few people in this life who can use biiiitch to call someone out and make it a term of endearment altogether.
I'm totally team low cook. Very few things are better burnt.
