Colognes and perfumes should be discovered, not announced.

I'm of the opinion that cologne and perfume, both, should only be discovered by those in very close proximity, not announced to everyone in the room.

Not being a wearer of cologne, perhaps a celebratory cocktail of a never before tasted gin is in order.

BTW, Flashlight Enthusiasts has a much classier connotation than Flashaholic. It exudes all of the notoriety but none of the negativism associated with being a holic.

That wasn't where I originally saw it, but feel free to take credit for it. The sentiment stands.

No worries, PhotonWrangler. I don't remember where I first came across the idiom, but I know it didn't originate with me.

I do, however, remember asking our Head Pastor for his thoughts on having it included in the weekly church bulletin. He agreed to present it to our Board of Elders ...... They vetoed the idea.

Many years ago I sat next to a coworker who used so much Axe body spray that it made my eyes water. I never understood the reasoning behind that.

Same.
There was a sales rep that would come into the office and we would have to extinguish all the pilot lights in fear of catching her on fire.

That's why there are a few members on the board - the numbers provide each member plausible deniability.

My high school girlfriend and I had very 'complex' upbringings. As a result, our relationship was also quite complex and unusual. Surprisingly little conflict.
She worked with me on a lot of the issues which had come up from such an upbringing. She gave me this poster back then. I still have it today, hanging up on the back wall of my den:

"Find out what you're not good at. And then, don't do that thing."

I guess I'm a masochist at times. I'll find the things I'm not good at and dive head-first into them until I am good at them. When I was learning to fly, I had the choice of several different aircraft. I flew all of them and then chose the one I struggled with the most to train on and did so until I could fly it as seamlessly as someone with 100x my experience.

Years ago, late 1990's, I was sitting on the stairs of my apartment building one sunny afternoon when a *waft* of perfume assaulted me. The source was a group of teenage girls coming down the sidewalk, and they were half the block away from me.
