He stole some of her tips from her tip jar, too?!?!?

Ugh, I hate "partner." It's not a corporate merger, it's two human beings in a committed relationship. And now it gives a weird are-they-aren't-they sort of vibe to so many small businesses.

Eep, me too! *superstitious shiver*

Hahahaha! I had the same thought!

Buy a little tub of unscented lotion, and mix some of the perfume with it. Then you can just use the lotion. :-)

...it smells good on me... :-(

Have you ever tried Givenchy Pi? It's a men's cologne—I looooove it—but has that semi-androgynous thing too, at least for me, because it's got such a strong vanilla note to it.

Writing those down, thanks!

I had a boyfriend once who bought me a bottle of perfume for my birthday; Wings by Giorgio. I HATED it. It was so heavy on me, and it made my throat itch, but he loved it so I always had to wear it for him (I didn't wear it every time we were together or anything, it wasn't a control thing, just when we were doing…

I LOVE bay rum. My husband wears it now; he has a few different ones, but the best one was by Burt's Bees (they unfortunately stopped making it a few years back). Never had the guts to wear it myself, but I used to occasionally wear Aramis, and got complimented on it a lot by people who had no idea it was Aramis they…

Well, I guess that's one way to handle the cost of giving birth...make strangers pay for it.
