Lazy weekend poll ~ open thread, mid February 2022

Posted by Robin on 12 February 2022 204 Comments

Saturday is Darwin Day and Lincoln’s birthday; Sunday is World Radio Day.

We’re marking all the occasions with our standard open thread poll. Talk about anything you like — the fragrance you’re wearing today, the last fragrance that made you rethink your note preferences, whatever.

Or, ask a question about fragrance, then see if anyone else has asked a question that you can answer…

Posted by Robin on 1 January 2022 243 Comments

Rabbit, rabbit, rabbit, and Happy New Year! Welcome to January and welcome to 2022. It’s also the 8th day of Christmas (maids a-milking) and the last day of Kwanzaa (Imani: faith).

PSA: Donatella will be dropping by on Tuesday to clear out last year’s damage.

We’re marking the dawn of the New Year with our usual open thread poll. Talk about anything you like — the fragrance you’re wearing today, any resolutions you’re considering for 2022, whatever.

Happy Holidays (and if you’re reading this on Thursday, happy Festivus for the Rest of Us)! We’ll be back on Monday.
