  a question to my fellow united staters on the board, .

  do you find yourself using british expressions in your daily life because of being on this db so much?

  two that i've picked up - i occasionally will call a friend "mate" (they look at me kind of funny) .

  both sexes! what is your favorite scent-cologne/aftershave/perfume?

  by Ravyn in

  i have always loved perfumes and oils and i have quite a collection that i use as the mood strikes...but i am getting low on many of them and it is time to think about making that birthday gift list sooooooo... what do you wear and what do you like and why?.

  my all-time innocent favorite is muguet des bois(lily of the valley)--reminds me of my youth and a cousin who gave it to me as a gift who is passed now.... but i also love the scent of lilac, usually in an oil.. my favorite perfumes are: obsession, rare rubies(avon), coty wild musk, revlon's fire and ice, white shoulders, sand and sable, ck's truth, (and also mesmerize, odyssey, foxfire, jasmine, raining violets, honeysuckle, lemon velvet, hawaiian white ginger--all old classic avon you can only find at flea markets or once a year in the book.).

  but i need something new....i like the oriental/spicy blends, but not for all the time.

  In the early 90s I wore New West by Aramis for Her. The Perfume Store in the UK has started stocking it again - I might treat myself! In the mid 90s I started wearing l'Eau d'Issey by Issey Miyake, but although I still love the fragrance, I don't wear it anymore because it is too evocative of the sad times then.

  Now I wear J'Adore by Christian Dior, Laura by Laura Biagiotti or Clinique Happy. I like layering my fragrance, using body products.

  My husband wears YSL Live Jazz, but I really love it when he wears Clinique Happy for Men....swoon!!

  POTENTIAL NEW NIGERIA-STYLE EMAIL SCAM

  by mustang in

  last week i got two emails from "russian businessmen".

  they are complaining about the difficulty of doing business, due to the high taxes there.

  so, they suggest a "workaround": they need to find people to privately ship merchandise to them.

  I got this today, from a hotmail address:

  Dear,

  This letter might come as a surprise to you,espacilly since we have never

  met or discussed before.I know this story might sound strange to you,but it

  is factual in in reality.I should have notified you first through a more

  confidencial means,at least to respect your integrity.Please accept my

  humble apologies if i had caught you unaware, I frankly do not mean any harm

  or to embarass you.I only want to know if you can render an urgent

  assistance to me and my family.

  Though i do not know to what extent you are familier with events and

  disturbanses in my country Sierra Leone,but the pressure of war drove me and

  my mother out of my country Sierra Leone into exile to Senegal where we have

  been living under Political Asylum.

  In a nutshell,I am Godwin Mona the son of late Hon Dr. John Mona the

  Managing Director of Gold and Diamond Mining corporation (G.D.M.C)Sierra

  Leone,But he was killed during the longing civil war and all our properties

  was totally destroyed

  Following the cease fire agreement which was reach with the help of United

  Nation peace keeping troops,I and my mother and my two sisters used the

  oppoturnity to leave the country with a very important document of

  (US$5.500.000m)Five million five hundred thousands U.S Dollars deposited by

  my late father in Finance company in EUROPE under my name.

  Meanwhile,I contacted you to assist us transfer this money to your

  possession and help us secure a visa to meet with you.

  Furthermore,we only want this done this way because your country is

  politically stable for any profitable investment and only if you accept our

  proposal,I count on you for this urgent assistance because we are in a

  horrible situation here in senegal.

  For your efforts you will be entitled to 15% of the total sum after the

  transfer. I will let you have the contact information telephone and fax

  numbers of the Finance company in EUROPE. However I contacted you based on

  your capability and vast knowledge.

  You will understand that the lives and the future of my family depend on

  this fund, I will be very grateful if you can assist us. In view of this, I

  cannot invest this here in Africa because of the problems around africa

  continet.Waiting to hear from you.

  I remain with the regards.

  Yours Sincerely.

  Godwin Mona.

  how many of you, go to the occasional meeting?

  i no longer believe any of the things i was raised to believe... but for some reason i still go to the occasional meeting and i even went to the special assembly last weekend (even though i got there after lunch).

  i guess it will take a while to completely break away but i was wondering if anyone else is in this situation.

  Welcome to the forum GirlOnFence!!

  Just watch out for splinters while you are sitting there.

  I stopped all contact with the organisation dead, it was easier for me to do it that way. Have not been back in 9 years.

  I went shopping in two different supermarkets at the weekend. I wanted to buy some apples. English apples. Or Scottish or Welsh apples would do. Not a difficult task? WRONG.

  I could have had apples from France, Italy, New Zealand, USA or Chile. But not any apples grown in my own country. WTF?????

  So, I go to the meat counter, where I can actually buy meat from my own country, but if I choose to, I can have Australian beef, or New Zealand lamb.

  I have no objection to importing food that we can't grow in Britain, English bananas are a difficult crop to manage, but why is so much food imported which we could easily grow here?

  I would like to hear from people outside the UK - are your shelves filled with imported food?

  And you Brits - does this bother you at all?

  if you had the chance to 'come back' as a different person, who's voice would you most like to have?

  for me it would have to be either linda ronstadt or barbra streisand, failing that... shakira.

  ? for those who are anti-capital punishment

  by StinkyPantz in

  2. beliefs

  this question goes out to people who are against capital punishment under any circumstances.

  i'm talkin' like even if you saw the crime on video, you still believe that cp is wrong because all life is sacred; or because god judges everyone not man.. i was just looking over spice's thread "could you kill?".

  everyone so far has said that yes they would kill in order to protect family/friends.

  StinkyPantz, you ask -

  So since killing someone even if they have murdered is wrong, but killing someone to protect a life is okay shouldn't someone kill the executioner so that another is not murdered? Just wondering what you think.

  I don't see either scenario as "wrong" or "okay". I think both situations are terrible - either way, someone is dead.

  What do you mean by "the executioner" in this question? The government? The court system? The person that presses the button? Citizens who support the death penalty? I don't believe that killing any of these people would have the overall effect of saving lives. [:)]
