LOL! Wow, I came back and SO didn’t think you guys would still be talking about this =)
I agree. there is a time and a place for everything and some kids are downright disrespectful to the 10th power and they should be dealt with accordingly to a degree. But grown adults having a private conversation in a public atmosphere that have a little slip. Well, I think thats overreacting a little.
Got a busted Windstone?

In that situation, I would agree with you. I think parents should get to walk around with little dispensers of liquid soap and just wash out mouths whenever its appropriate. 😈
It didn’t work so much for us. We really didn’t mind the bar soap so much. Liquid, however, would have been NASTY! Glad my mom didn’t think of it.
Try ‘White Diamonds’ perfume being sprayed in the mouth. That tops soap ANY day. YUCK!!!!
*My mom wanted me to smell a perfume she was interested in (I was about 11 or 12). I had been turned around looking at something else and was like “What did you just ACK! COUGH GAG GASP GET IT OFF MY TONGUE YUCK! EWW!” She sprayed it without really paying attention and it sprayed directly in my mouth. Needless to say she was extra good to me the rest of the day and every once in a while she gets reminded of it. 🙄

Nope. No cursing. My mom just wasn’t paying attention while visiting the perfume counter one day when we were out at the mall. My dad kept picking on my mom on the drive home. When she goes to sniff something new, I just ask her if the perfume tastes any better than ‘White Diamonds’. 😉
Greater Basilisk wrote:😆 The birth of running joke. Does she still wear that perfume?
Not really. She’s generally grown tired of it, so only on random occasions. She mostly sticks to her tried and true favorite, Chantilly. This year she did find that she kinda likes Sarah Jessica Parker’s ‘Lovely’ (dad hates it though, so she won’t get it), and Donna Karan’s ‘Cashmere Mist’, which she will get tomorrow an hour after presents are opened (to throw her off guard, because she thinks my dad couldn’t get it). My dad and I are sneaky about gifts, and pretty good at guessing, at least where mom is involved. She on the other hand is not.
Veeeery sneaky! And yes, any kind of perfume or cologne is yucky! Bleh…I feel for you! At least your breath smelled good….

Sorry I just say this forum is specific to chat about our LOVE for Windstones and Melody and her staff.
It could be disasterous if it ever got out of handOf course we always end up off track anyway and discuss personal issues which helps us get to know eachohter better
One could easily say that this forum is a type of religion. For instance, it gives me that sense of belonging, well being, and freindship that I have often heard others describe about religion.
Sun, I really enjoy and appreciate your thoughts on sensitive topics. You are very well spoken and obviously really think about what you are saying so as to offend as few people as possible. I tend to stay out of discussions like this because the facts I try to present tend to get swallowed by the emotion that goes with it, or that I just don’t have the energy to sit down and think out a response that doesn’t make me sound like a jerk.
SPark, I like your comparison with the Grapefruit juice thing, to me that is a good way to look at it, and really can be taken to heart on so many different levels, not just religion. Renniasance Faires, life styles, politics, Windstones…..
And for a final note, my mother always said that there are three forbidden topics. Religion, Politics, and Sex. I very obviously don’t follow keeping my mouth shut on sex…..but that is because I like to believe myself rather knowledgable on the subject and have much experience with it. The other two I tend to give a wide berth because I haven’t had enough experience with them to feel comfortable discussing them. I will ask questions, and learn what I can, but I don’t feel that I can be safely oppinionated about either to talk about them in depth.

Thank you kindly, deary! ^_^ I do try my best to word my opinions as carefully as I can, especially when it’s a topic that is very emotionally-charged/emotionally-invested ^_^
I can definitely appreciate how some topics are very difficult to seperate the emotions they make you feel from the abstract/theorectical side and i think it’s very smart to be aware of when you aren’t able to do that to the point that it would hinder your ability to communicate to your liking. Sometimes it’s good to be passionate about certain topics, it can lend a certain kind of eloquence to one’s posts. But, as you say, it can be a fine line between passionate and blowing off steam heh heh.
Being patient with yourself and being willing to sit and analytically consider your own words does help with the process. Many people are in such a big rush to respond online that sometimes they don’t even really look at what they just wrote 😉
