Probably...heh!

I just stuffed a couple of bucks into an envelope and stuck it on my trash bin. My trash collection company upped their rates two bucks and I’d already paid for January.

They’re good folks and would’ve probably blown it off, but I know they get a kick out of my trash can notes...that’s how I used to pay them every month. (Now it’s a recurring automatic check from my bank.)

Another mundane nugget of info about my life.

You’re a trusting soul 2J. My cynical side thinks that those two bucks won’t ever see the inside of anything but the trashman’s pocket, but I hope I’m wrong.

Question for anyone on the thread:

So I’ve suddenly become way more sensitive to chemical fragrances (substances added to products to produce smell). Someone in the next pew with too much aftershave sends me on, basically, a nice little trip to loopy land, with a possible detour past I-can’t-breathe, and afterwards I get a hangover quality headache.

I’ve noticed that all the shampoos I have contain fragrances and I wonder if it’s part of why I have low grade headaches all the time. Does anyone use hippy shampoo with no added fragrances, etcetera, or have any bright suggestions?

In case you’re wondering, fragrances are usually the last ingredient or so on the label and are listed either as “fragrance” or something like “cinnamol oil” or “suchandsuch extract” and I’m probably not allergic to all of them but none of the allergists in the area test for this allergy so I haven’t determined which ones are a problem yet.
