If you have a sense of humor, and can poke fun at yourself:

At least I'm not alone in the castle now. ;-)

[Alice au Wonderland]

You're about to be. I'm off to bed. Catch you tomorrow.

[tuliptree76]

Good night, Alice.

Not really, everybody is considered a god in Japan.

[A CA Guy]

For sure.

[tuliptree76]

Are you staying or just stopping by briefly?

[A CA Guy]

I'll be back and forth.

I'm looking at various news stories and EBAY! :-)

I hear there is a deal on J-Lo perfume for $150 a bottle.
She's a goddess in Japan by the way.

[tuliptree76]

ROFLOL!

I don't think I could get $150 for my used bottle.

I've decided that I'll just ask around the college to see if anyone would want it. I'll have about 60 or more students next semester (about half girls). One of them might take it.

[A CA Guy]

Do you want to offer it where you still would have to be exposed to it?

[A CA Guy]

I'm reading we had a good sales year for Christmas at the store.
In CA I don't get that.
The lines in the stores looked consistent but small.
I don't get the sales reports.

[tuliptree76]

If it's in another department, I won't be exposed to it too much.

Or if it's a student who sits in the back of the lecture hall, I'll be okay. ;-)

The stores were packed here in IL. It was horrible at times. I went to Borders 3 times to try to buy a gift certificate. The first 2 times, the line was so long it wrapped around the store. I couldn't wait that long, so I just left. On the third attempt, it wasn't as bad, and I gave myself enough time to wait in line. - I only waited in line 15 minutes.

[A CA Guy]

I still think you should leave it in the Latin American Studies department.

It can help them relate to the culture by scent. :-) You never know!

[A CA Guy]

We have borders here as well all over.

I didn't check them out, but was at a few other retail stores.
They were busy, but didn't look off the hook with shopping at all.

[tuliptree76]

It really isn't a bad scent - It's just really powdery and strong. Any strong powdery scent would make me sneeze - even deoderants. So I have to stick with stuff like spring breeze or light floral scents.

[tuliptree76]

Walmart was a zoo. I didn't go into the mall because the parking lot was packed.

[A CA Guy]

Strong and powdery for the loud Latina woman who breaks out in sweat almost all the time.

[tuliptree76]

...breaks out in sweat almost all the time.

I use Secret. Strong enough for a man, but PH balanced for a woman.

[A CA Guy]

I drove a neighbor there Christmas Eve because they had no car and an aunt had arrived for Christmas who they had no gift for.

Lots of people walking around, but I wouldn't say THAT many things were selling their either.

[A CA Guy]

Good for you, but the gift was formulated for the loud Latina woman who thinks they have some great talent to act, sing and dance.
