OK. Please let me make this crystal clear! I do NOT mind any technician coming into my house with his natural male scent. I ONLY object to having ANYONE enter my house with ANY artificial scent. As you know, back in the day, perfume, so it was said, was manufactured with cat urine. To me, these days, modern-day perfume that these guys wear reminds me of worse things than cat urine. I would be willing to pay EXTRA to never have to smell that smell, ever again. There should be a RULE that waiters, also, should never don perfume. I do not care how expensive it might be. I love the fragrance of Moo Goo Gai Pan, for example, but not synthetic fragrances. I also never wear synthetic fibers. IN FACT, companies should be more cognizant of this problem. I think that, for example, guys in Sweden do not make house calls soaked in perfume... Or... Am I mistaken? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My doctor friend in the USA married a Thai lady who moved to the USA when she was 15... after raising a couple of kids, she went back to school to finish her degree in, I think it was Nuclear Physics. She was a great teacher for me as she was totally knowledgable in both Thai and Western cultures, language and sensibilities. She was amazing. And the only smell I remember in her house was noodle soup. I have a fairly sensitive nose and can't remember ever having a bad or perfume-smelling tech in my house.. Sorry for your bad luck. And the worst smell for me growing up was the locker room stench of Right Guard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, I just wonder if you can recite it from memory? Do tell. A gap in my education, please enlighten me. As a long-standing agnostic, it is hardly likely I would be swotting up on blessings.

How did you like that great lecture for free from Jared Diamond? That guy is a true wizard. I do not stand on ceremony when having a dump, apparently others do. I am reminded of the crocogator joke. I went further with Jared Diamond, his lecture on why societies fail was very interesting. Australia even got a mention. Thank you for the introduction.

I think I'll take a pass. Reducing a woman to a "degree from Harvard" is a bit silly. I don't buy into your thesis.
