What frag to wear for annual physical?

Well, gals, this morning I went for that annual pap smear , and I gave a little thought as to what kind of fragrance statement I wanted to make. Being sensitive to others' sensitivities, I didn't want to radiate sillage, yet I wanted some identity and odor confidence. Opted for a light application of Highland Lilac from a sample vial and feel pretty good about that choice. Do you give this scenerio special frag consideration?

By the by, BP is 116/70. Pretty good for age 50 and weighing 2-many pounds! Next thing to think about--what's the perfect frag for one's first cologne-oscopy??? :

Congratulations on the blood pressure. 50 years old. That is, like, twice my age. Just think of all the things you experienced firsthand in your half of a century - The Rolling Stones on Ed Sullivan, the 1967 Pontiac Firebird, Neil Armstrong on the moon... Â* Things that I can only read about in history books.

Do you get discounts on frags with your AARP card?

Being sensitive to your sensibilities, I was going outside the box to suggest Passage d'Enfer although I have never smelled it - and it could be misconstrued as bad taste - your 'cologne' is not a 'passage of hell'. Â*I meant it as a metaphor for enduring an unpleasant experience - like a driver's exam when you are 16 or taking your young nephews to see Harry Potter movies.

Just kidding about being twice my age. I'll be looking forward to my cologne - oscopy in 22 years which would make you approximately, well, Hey - here's an idea....

Honest to goodness, my first car WAS a '67 Firebird (3-speed on the column). What's really mind-blowing, perspective-wise, is my dad was born in 1894 (that's not a typo). He knew guys who were in the Civil War.

V, you had, as I would expect, a great answer to the cologne-oscopy question. Now, I've got a mammogram scheduled for next Monday, what do I wear ... ?

I can't believe my fingers are typing this. OK, this is for Monday: :-[ :-[ :-[ http://www.basenotes.net/ID26124399.html

And seriously, whatever makes you feel comfortable, something sitting pretty and close to the skin. Guerlains?

Wow - those are some really good ones.

That is a co-inky dink about Firebirds. Mine was a red / white 1967 convertible with an automatic on the column (rare, but not as rare as a 3-speed on the column) and BENCH SEATS! I love 1967 and 1968, but especially 1967 - wing windows. It smelled like a CdG Series 6 Synthetic. Â*

Mammogram?Â*I'm afraid I haven't tested the fragrance I'm recommending from Princess Jelisaveta Karadjordjevic. Everyone knows that princesses work very hard, except for

Anyhoo, the exam room is usually kept at a comfortable 38 degrees F (and Â*don't forget the thermally-uninsulated paper gown with the open-back feature). The person conducting the test will caution, "Now this may pinch a little bit." Like hell - it will definitely pinch. A lot.

So I recommend E. I am uncertain but I believe it is pronounced EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!

This thread is hilarious!!! ;D ...And say, speaking of doctors and wangs...

I went to see my doctor -- you know -- Doctor Wang. ;D
I said, "Doc -- I've got a problem."
He says, "Don't say another word. I know what's Wong with Chu."
I said, "What is it, Doctor?"
Wang says, "You got Zachary Disease."
I said, "What on earth is that?"
He says, "Your breath smell Zachary like a fart!"
:-X

You're starting to freak me out, Veronica The Mystical. WING windows!--my father invented the wing window, but in an ugly court battle with GM, they claimed to have legal rights to the patent, and we went on to live in abject poverty. It was the biggest sour spot in his career as an inventor, and he didn't like it at all when his daughter fell for that sleek, blue GM Firebird. By the way, you know you can spot at '67 'bird or Camara cuz they don't have a reflector on the side near the taillight (added in '68).

Since you're proving psychic, why don't you go ahead and predict the next trend in fragrances?

I knew you were going to ask.

Veronica says, "Everyone close their eyes so I can conduct the seance."

OK, now open them up. Â*I didn't say Veronica says!

1. You will have to wait until the movie comes out. Â*http://www.basenotes.net/community/Y...1135746358/0#0 Â*(Towards Â* Â* Â* Â*the bottom of the page.) All that I can say is that Veronica!TheFragrance! and Veronica!TheMovie! will be boffo at the perfume counter and the box office.

2. Sales of Chanel No. 5 football jerseys will plummet as consumers realize Chanel only has one 'N'.

3. The news team at WCVB-TV Boston, the ABC affiliate, will be sporting new togs on the evening broadcast.

Veronica has spoken. [twilight zone theme] Do do do do Do do do do [/twilight zone theme]

LOL. This kind of reminds me- there's a local OB/GYN whose name is, get this, Dr. Soon Torn! He advertised the opening of his office in the paper. i got a good laugh out of it for sure.

Who would want to get examined by Dr. Soon Torn?
