While this is true, would you rather be kissing sandpaper? Because that's what you'd get with me if I don't use lotion!

We've discovered Suave Advanced Therapy Body Lotion - not greasy, no smell, no taste (according to the cats) - and it works! When it's this cold, the skin on my face becomes "lizard scale" in texture - I slather this lotion on 2-3 times a day - and no more "scales".

Scaley chicken... and not just the legs...
The scientists have been saying all along that there was a direct decendancy from lizard amphibian to chicken. This must be conclusive proof!

I can't even begin to imagine putting something like that on my face. I had enough trouble with Aqua Velva!

Hmmm .... A friend of mine has Abyssinian sibs - boy & girl - been together all their lives. Every now and then, the girl cat will suddenly act as if the boy cat is a total stranger menacing her - and will relentlessly growl & hiss at him. Lasts a couple of hours ... then everything's fine again. We could never figure out what the trigger was ....

Maybe it's a feline complex!

I've been told numerous times that my skin is wonderful and why am I putting on"xyz3° product? I've always used a lot of lotions or moisturizers (relatively few other beauty products), and I gotta tell ya' and trying not to be too arrogant about it, I really really don't look my age. I was carded until just a few years ago, and typically that is a "if you look under thirty five" policy. When I WAS thirty five I was wiring the American shook in Frankfurt, I was discovered standing on a ladder in the hallway during passing period and sent to the principals office

Well I think this is coming up on year three this spring, and this is certainly a first! Weis cat games!

I think you got what I meant: while nothing's wrong with protection of sensitive skin - fortunately a problem I don't have - all this "smells like this or that" (because of the correlation of smell and taste) can be a showstopper, esp. when, what was meant as a subtle enrichment of body scent turns into a multi-layered olfactory armor. (can happen easily if multiple products for different skin regions are required)
the sandpaper question: assumed I admire what's deeper - yes anytime without hesitation.

nice I hope you enjoy the difference in judgement. I'm sometimes estimated up to 10 y younger (presumably because I never didn't mind going out a lot) was sometimes funny, sometimes annoying when I was 20 something...

Damnit! They're at it again.

Have you noticed how much BIGGER the cardboard roll on which your toilet paper comes has gotten!!!!!

I don't care if it's double/triple roll packs when it's all empty air!

We need comparison photos and statistical analysis please.

Do you think we're just going to take your word for it on such an important issue?

Do you use the term "gouging" there? Sort of make you cringe when you think of toilet paper gouging.

Interesting trivia. In 1970 after cyclone Tracey devastated Darwin, many supplies ran out. Toilet paper was one of them.

^Actually right now I think the sun is up all the time in Antarctica. I think you should try the Arctic.

I hereby demand that your request be - if fulfilled - done so via PM As I certainly don't feel any need to see kenny analising his toilet paper.

It happens here every time there's a longshoreman's strike!
