BellaOnline Forums Relationships Married No Kids One of the guys

I have one and I tried to use it to heat emboss some stamping...it didn't work--embossing crystals went everywhere and my cats looked at me like I was a total idiot!

...I now have a heat gun for the embossing

I had trouble w/the embossing as well, and I hated the shrink wrap on my gift baskets - I stopped using the hair dryer.

Back to the topic - I really enjoy being one of the guys!!!

What do you mean by "back to the topic?" Aren't mis-assigned hair dryers the topic? :p

Seriously, I think this group has turned thread-jacking into an art form. But I kind of like it. The conversations wind and change and branch out like a group of people talking in person. I think this is the only place on the net I've seen such normal, natural conversational progression in a large group. So does this speak well of our intelligence or our chattiness?

And I love it when you said your cat has hijacked the threads....
Your cat is gorgeous!

I'm a lot girlier than many of my female friends - some of them see no point in spending time with makeup, hairdressing, perfume or jewellery, and I love these things.

But I also don't see eye-to-eye with many of them in conversations, which tend to be about their children and families. Most of the people who I consider interesting and fun friends are male.

I do have a blowdryer. It was just a cheapie, but it's awesome. It hangs on a hook by my dressing table and is always there for me! :o)

I wouldn't hate perfume so much if people actually knew how to use it. Spritz, not BATHE IN IT! :: shakes a fist at those who assault my nose ::

I love all those things too. I have the time to make sure I look good so I take it. You never know when you're going to run into someone. Only difference is that I have a professional hairdryer. I kept burning out the cheap ones (I have long, thick hair).

My personality is what attracts me more to men and their conversations. I would love to find more strong, opinionated women that I could have a variety of intellectual conversations with, like philosophy, politics and religion. But I never have. My interactions with my female friends tend to revolve around relationships, family, careers, wine, food and fashion. Not that I don't like these conversations, I just sometimes want more.

Don't worry Grey, I wear just a touch of perfume. I don't think people should be able to smell me unless they hug me! I'm sensitive to a lot of different perfumes so I'm very careful there.

I hate, HATE, going to movies and someone around me smells so strong that I have to move. I have had to do that numerous times. And I've gotten off elevators for the same reason. That layering of scents technique that perfume makers try to push is really over the top.

See that's exactly it! Perfume should be alluring, it should make the person standing next to you want to lean in and sniff. (not obnoxiously sniffing like those moronic febreeze commercials though). Most of the time I feel like someone's performing chemical warfare on my nose and eyes.

LOL! I totally agree. I hate it when some yahoo leans into my personal space to get a whiff. Back off buddy, that is my personal space. When that happens, I won't wear perfume for a few days.

They really need to do away with scenting everything. As a woman, if I didn't buy unscented everything, imagine the scents I would be polluting the air with: shampoo, conditioner, body wash, moisturizer (body & face), anti-perspirant, hairspray. Whew, I'm high maintenance, aren't I?
