Thank you Sir..
Glad to hear - I sampled the Tom Ford once in a department store. I liked it better than Guerlain ( although Guerlain isn’t bad, just not prominent enough for me as a scentGood stuff it and the Tom Ford Grey Vetiver
)... Tom Ford is too Rich for my blood, so whenever I get back to a Sephora or Ulta, AND if they are even giving out samples now, I’lol have to grab some more samples from Ol’ Tommy Boy.Dave in KY

I got it in a BST or wouldn't be enjoying it like I am. Did I get the Guerlain from you?!?! I forget who I bought it from.....Glad to hear - I sampled the Tom Ford once in a department store. I liked it better than Guerlain ( although Guerlain isn’t bad, just not prominent enough for me as a scent

Not true, I just have that bad a memoryYes! That’s exactly why I asked
It’s all good - I remember 10 years ago.... 10 months ago, not so well.... although I know all the kids bdays and anniversaries with the wife ... she is constantly asking me those dates thoughNot true, I just have that bad a memory
Oh, Also gave A*Men a proper wearing today ... as the wife was as work 
since this is my first gourmand, it was a little different. Didn’t help that it was thunderstorms and the temp ranged from 65-85. Still, smelled pretty good. I get cocoa and a little toffee and woodsy scent from the patchouli. I can’t say it’s for everyone, but if you have gourmand experience, it’s a safe blind buy. Nothing too funky about it. Just different to me. I’m glad I bought it; will be a great fall and winter scent, for sure even had a 30+ min workout with it on and the scent did well with the sweat (I don’t recommend it for summer wear, but you could get away with it without smelling too “strong”)

I had the same problem with wirey hair (redheaded Scottish) as well as sensitive skin. If you haven't yet tried them, the Personna Comfort Blades have been phenomenal for me. Prior to that, I've used BIC Chrome and Gillette 7 o'clock black.
Welcome to the Journals. Awesome first entry!

(....and now you're thinking "there goes the neighborhood!....)Flushing, huh? Not that far North of Flint it appears. We are basically neighbors
Thank you for your comment. I’ve tried Personna, they were unremarkable, but it’s been awhile, so worth a retry at this point. Bic were a no go; Gillette 7 o clock black are on my radar
thanks!
Ha! I’m in Howell city, we recently had one of those crazy protests ...right where I get Dairy Queen with my kids ...

Good luck. I can't think of anything that might even remotely work for both.

I could tell you stories about Howell, but you've probably already heard 'em.Ha! I’m in Howell city, we recently had one of those crazy protests ...right where I get Dairy Queen with my kids ...
One time in Nursing Skool a female student of a darker hue got lost, headed to one of the Flint hospitals, going to one of our clinical rotations. Somehow got herself turned around on I-69. Ended up in Howell, asked for directions at a gas station. Hours later she was still shaking in fear.
This was 20ish years ago, so it's probably not as big an issue anymore. One can pray!

Do this! Prepare for a treat.
Oh I couldn’t imagine that today! Soccer moms and baked goods is all I see downtown! There was a rumor years back but Ended up having to do with a neighboring township. But still, not here... that was the reason for protest...misinformation
Will do! Those have been on my radar!!! Thank you kind Sir!!!!!!!

Praise the Lord. As you can see from my detailed memory, it left a HUGE impact on me. And I truly should not have said anything about it today, but this kind of stuff is ugly to me. Sorry. Us Michiganders tend to think racism don't start on I-75 North until you hit somewhere in Kentucky.Oh I couldn’t imagine that today! Soccer moms and baked goods is all I see downtown!
