I love children.
As long as they are properly cooked.

I hate writing stuff for my sketch comedy group and getting little to no recognition for it, mostly because I'm a girl and mostly just useful for playing the bland girlfriend or the teenage daughter of the fun characters. It sounds like a bunch of SNL-type "boys club" whiny crap, but it SUCKS. (Also, my bag of impressions - including Rachel Maddow, Selena Gomez, Jane Krakowski, and Victoria Beckham - is largely useless within this group, which is made almost entirely up of super-conservative comic book geeks.) It's just depressing. There are only two other girls in the group (well, technically four, but the other two don't contribute ANYTHING and are really just dead weight) and neither of them get to do much, either. It irritates me in a serious way, because I KNOW I'm pretty funny but get no credit for what I write.
Lame.

I like children and don't mind people talking about them. But there's a HUGE difference between a nice discussion about kids, and an in-depth diatribe on the kids' fecal matter. I love my nephew, but I really REALLY don't want to hear about his most intimate health issues! I'm SQUEAMISH and I'm EATING DINNER! XP

To people who absolutely drown themselves in perfume or after-shave, I say, PLEASE SHUT IT OFF!
Recently, I've had the unfortunate experiences of being seated next to people in the theatre (stage and movie) who have absolutely drowned themselves in perfume. It makes the evening absolutely intolerable as I can barely breathe...
To make matters worse, I have a perfume sensitivity/allergy, and get headaches from many scents (most, sadly), and the experience becomes more than annoying for me. It becomes painful.
So, in a version of 'shut up': PLEASE SHUT IT OFF!
If you must wear perfume or after-shave, remember: Less is more!!

Spray the perfume into the air and walk through the mist.
Don't bathe in it. It leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
I join NYadgal in this 'Shutting Up/Off'!

Diva, that is so true! When it's too strong it feels like it's in my mouth, and not only am I getting headaches from it, I am literally tasting it.
Too bad there aren't 'no perfume' zones!

There should be.
Normally, cast and crew members are asked not to wear any, as folks could be allergic. The same should apply for the audience.

Posted: 11/30/08 at 8:35pmI have a student with severe cologne/perfume allergies - we were told at the start of the year not to wear any because of that. Where did all of these allergies suddenly come from?

On the perfume thing-I'm one of those super allergic people. I have to change my seat if I'm near someone with any scent. I know-I got big problems with that!
On the shut up thing-Shut up, Barbara Walters! Just shut up, period!

What I can't stand is when people wear so much perfume that the smell of it gets on everything they own. I wholeheartedly agree with the "less is more" sentiment.
And I may as well add a "shut up" vent while I'm here:
Shut up, idiotic perverted asshole who's trying get with me on Myspace. I'm not interested. I will never be interested. You digust me, which is why I've not answered ANY of your messages and ignored your friend request on Facebook. I don't owe you a damn thing. Never would I be so desparate for male companionship as to actually agree to 'hang out' with you.

Sorry.

Posted: 12/1/08 at 1:22pmI want to say shut up to the people who make the annoying ads on IMDB. The new bad one I found is for Wii. It just randomly pops up at the bottom of where you are looking, and just keeps following if you scroll down more. I did see a close button on it, but it's worthless if the ad just keeps moving down when you scroll. It does go away, but it takes too long.

NYadgal: Have you ever tried the perfumes from L'Occitane? Most of our ingredients are of natural origin, so there's less of a chance of irritation.

Posted: 12/1/08 at 2:56pmAfter a day back at work with the kids I might have to rescind my former comment about liking them. Sometimes they really can't just SHUT UP.

Oh, Addy, me TOO! There are only a select few I can wear. My mom says it's quite humorous to watch my head snap back as soon as I get a whiff of one of the many offending scents. My lab partner in high school biology wore so much Guess perfume that I would get headaches daily. I think she bathed in the stuff. Later I found out from her sister it was because she didn't like to bathe. Nice.
To the gala planning committee, SHUT UP! We are all here for the same reason... to plan a lovely gala. So what if the original space one person chose won't work? A simple one week date shift opens up many beautiful possibilities. Don't get your panties in a twist because it isn't exactly like previous years. Don't get your boxers in a bunch because we didn't think the original space worked. I didn't get pissy when you changed the damn theme after I put in hours of work. Stop calling me to bitch about each other. Stop sulking every time you don't get your way. Shut up and work together you bunch of damn dramatic babies!
Wow, that felt good. This thread kind of rocks.
Pretty pretty please don't you ever ever feel like you're less than f**ckin' perfect!

Yeah, if you wear too much perfume or cologne, that is gross. Especially if it is a bad scent. One spritz is sufficient for most.
Now in all fairness though, I totally understand if something makes you sick because I have those scents too. But, I get annoyed if someone tells me I am not allowed to burn a candle in my own bedroom or spray stuff in there, but they can let their stinky candles take over the entire house or wherever we are. And let me just add that pumpkin and vanilla are the worst offenders for me.

Posted: 12/1/08 at 4:02pmI have no sense of smell, however perfumes/colognes in large doses make my teeth hurt. It feels as though they are going coming loose at the gums. I also get an excruciating headache.

"I have no sense of smell"
SOMMS, can you taste food?
I'm so sensitive to scents that I can't wear or use any product that has a scent. When I saw Xanadu, we had to change our seats because of a woman next to us who was soaked and reeking from lousy perfume. When we were seated the furthest away we could get, in the top mezz, her perfume hit us up there! It was all over the theater!

Posted: 12/1/08 at 4:14pmI have diminished taste, Jane. I have to eat very strong foods to really have a sense of flavor -- curries, chili's, garlic, etc. Stong coffee and earthy red wines give me some taste.

Posted: 12/1/08 at 4:21pm
Now that is absolutely disgusting. I just put on some of my Mary Kay Velocity perfume, because that's my favorite perfume but I certainly did not drench myself in it. One spritz, as I mentioned, and I might rub it into my wrists and neck area. No more is needed.
I remember now actually on some bus trip in 7th grade, some girls were spraying some gross scented perfume on the bus, and some kid with asthma ended up opening his window and standing up to get fresh air in, and so he wouldn't get sick. Those girls got the perfume taken away.
