    Wow.

    Thank you for your suggestion! I put some of the 5ml oil on order the other day so we'll see how that goes. If it works well I might have to consider the massage oil. I've always had insomnia and haven't found anything that works consistently and well. I don't like taking sleep pills. We put another order in (non-TKO) on 21/3 and the CnS's are already up to 20/3. Hooray! That means we'll get our 21/3 order and then our TKO order. LOL, it will be unusual to only have the 2 bottle order when TKO comes. I've been ordering a lot for us and friends I've enabled. As nice as the large orders are, it was nice to just go in and make an order without worrying if I checked with everyone, had their orders right, etc. Take care and thank you for stopping by, Alex

    Tattoist/Piercer in Trouble!

    I wonder if there would be a way to let Beth know about this, see if she'd be willing to consider doing a small donation like she does for the comic book fund? Or are they too stretched on donations already, with the ones they have? I'd buy a bottle just to be able to donate. Would it be too forward to drop an email to the Lab and mention it to them? I have a feeling this kind of injustice would be as close to Beth's heart as it is mine. I've got 3 (had 4) tats, got piercings too. (**Edited: I couldn't go to bed without emailing the Lab about it. I feel really silly doing that but I don't think it should have waited while I wrestled with my shyness). Here is the long version Linkie Thingie Here is a recent update Short version: a tattooist/piercer in UT is being harrassed because she refused to tattoo an under-age minor without a parent present. She even refused to sell the supplies so they couldn't pierce themselves. The minor has complained to the cops in this tiny po-dunk town saying that she and friends were able to view the shop's genital piercing book. Never mind that the "witness" story has changed several times. This book isn't left out for people to just view. Regardless, the cops have raided the parlor, taken a bunch of flash (come on, semi-nude fairies???) as well as the book. Unfortunate for the parlor, a couple of 17 year olds snuck in and got a tat. The receptionist didn't notice, the guys signed paperwork swearing they were over 18. The parents didn't really mind but did their 'civic duty' (this is UT remember) and reported it to the cops. This has been brought up in the recent charges against the tattooist. She has a 2 year old. Please spread the word. If you are able to, donate $1 or more to the legal defence fund. I've donated $15.00. It isn't much but hopefully every dollar will help.

    Troll

    I was frimped this in our recent order and I want to say a big Thank You to the person who did it! I find this to be an amazing blend. It is a nice balance between the clovey-spiceyness, the piney everygreen resins and the vague hint of either myrrh or frankincense. It is sharp wet, sharp like diamond-encrusted troll teeth. As it dries down it smells more like the fresh sapling (s)he's plucked from the ground to pick (her)his teeth with and slides into incensy goodness. It reminds me of Black Forest with a smidge of Lunar Eclipse, but more 'feral' than Black Forest, more spicey and incensy. I'm really curious to see how it ages. I had been thinking of putting a bottle of Black Forest on our next order. I think I'll put Troll on instead.

    Freeway's Improvement

    Freeway has been slowly gaining weight again. He's eating, not a ton but little bits here and there and that's what counts. He's sitting on the couch grooming himself. He had stopped grooming himself when he wasn't eating much so it gives me hope again. We've got a little digital scale & weigh me, then him & me. We've been doing it for about a week. Yesterday he was up to 4.7 kilos. He doesn't look like he's gained weight so I'm glad we are weighing him, so I tell he's doing better. I'm ok. It was a tough week last week. Work got pretty unbearable. And it's not fun when issues you are dealing with at home come up at work and vice versa. It felt like everywhere I turned I was being attacked. Just not fun. Checking the PO today, our 10/2 Lab order should be here, along with some decants I was expecting last week. And I hope Sharon's Possets order makes it this time. She's kindly reshipped since it should have been here by now and wasn't. Fingers crossed. We are seeing Sharon tomorrow and I can give them to her then. And we are seeing Joan so if the Lab's box is here that means I can give her the Muse she ordered. We put in an order yesterday, got Hexennacht 08 on it and I hope that works for me. Most of the order was for Carol this time. I put Ebisu Making Love on for me, the reviews sound intriguing. And I put an imp pack on for me. I chucked a GLowing Vulva on because my counsellor really liked it so I can give her a decant. I want to pull a few decants out then Carol can use it. She liked it, not as much as others, but I wanted to be able to decant some. Ah well, finish coffee then off to the shower. Busy today, PO then the pet store to look for some clumping litter, then the fruit/veg markets out in Massey for fruit for tomorrow. What else? Oh. Bills. I'm a week and a half behind doing them. Must Do Today. And gardening (lawn is up to my knees!) and housework. I'm glad this is a 4 day weekend!!

    Can it be better now?

    Still really down. I'm having a hard time with Freeway not eating much. I worry about him. He ate a bit more tonight because I put it on my finger and encouraged him. I'm exhausted. I'm worried. But it was nice to see him get a little playful when I put the catnip around. He even played a bit in the box with Morgan, a bit with the possum ball. So it's good to see him play but I think I'll still worry because he just isn't eating much and he's not in a position to loose much more weight. Tonight we did try to feed him first then pill him, in case pilling him was putting him off his food. Another day, another hill to get over.

    Can it be better now?

    Thank you Parrot_suspect. He's starting to eat again. He used to eat a lot, was quite a porker in his younger days. They charged extra baggage when they flew him from San Francisco to LA, prior to flying him here. I know it's age, but it is hard to see someone you love so much gradually shed weight, then get the diagnosis of renal failure was really hard. I went into denial for a little while. I'm out of that phase and am learning the ins and outs of Freeway when he is feeling sick and Freeway when he is feeling better. I've learned the CRF kitty tricks of mixing water in his wet food and heating it up, of separating him to eat, of feeding him whenever he looks halfway interested in food. When he stopped eating I spoon and finger fed him smoked roe and canned food for a day, right after writing this blog, and he's doing better now. We've picked up a digital bathroom scale and are daily weighing me, then Freeway (best 2 out of 3 kind of thing for accuracy as best we can). I know he'll have daily fluctuations but he's gone from 4.35 kilos on the 13th at the vet's to 4.55 on the 20th. Yesterday we made it up to 4.7! I think BPAL needs a range of 'pet' scents, especially a "white light/energy for pet" scent. Blessings and thank you for your thoughts and wishes, Alex

    Can it be better now?

    Thank you Anne. After I posted this I was able to entice him to eat. We've bought a digital bathroom scale. It isn't entirely accurate but I weigh myself, then me with Freeway. We've been doing it the last few days and he is a bit up from last week. The vet gave us a couple things to help with nausea but one is a mint flavored liquid and he foamed at the mouth when we gave it to him. Since I was holding him next to my ear when we did that I got loud foamy kitty spit flung about. We're giving him his pills for nausea but not the liquid, which is fine because he does seem to feel a bit better. It's been intense, stressful with Freeway and stressful at work. And stuff going on around here so it's not easy at times. I'll get through. Thank you for your good thoughts. *hugs* Blessings, Alex

    Hanami

    In the bottle: Pretty. Not a scent for me, too feminine. Yes, flowery in the bottle, I can almost smell jasmine but not a strong jasmine, just a touch. ? There isn't any jasmine in the description so this must be something else. I don't know what ume, sakura or wisteria smells like so I can't say which is stronger or what might be contributing to the vague reminder of jasmine. Hmm, does it makes sense if I say it's a 'sweet' scent like cherry blossoms mentioned in the description. Maybe it's a slight 'candy' or almost 'bubblegum' hint but balanced with the florals. I can understand where Mrs Black got the shampoo description from. It's a nice scent, "clean". On my wife: Immediately after application the cherry blossom/sweet smell is prominent. On drydown the cherry blossom seems to have faded and it's a nice floral. No "shampoo" or clean smells now, just flowers. Hanami is a nice scent. It's sweet but not foody (we aren't foody scented people). It's subtle but not shy. If you aren't a slatherer I think it wouldn't have a lot of throw. I'm glad we got her a bottle. I like other things on her a bit better but I do like this because it is a nice scent. If you like Spirit of the Komachi Cherry Tree you might like this. Spirit of Komachi is sweeter, more cherry than blossom where Hanami is more like a floral carpet under a cherry tree with some cherry blossoms mixed in.

    Really Down

    (Copied from my post in All Things Pet). Feeling really low. The picts have helped me not completely loose it, thank y'all for sharing. We took Freeway to the vet for his blood tests. He's a Chronic Renal Failure kitty. We haven't had the results yet (preliminaries tomorrow) but I've been worried about him. This will be the second set of tests since he was diagnosed. He's down to 4.35 kilos (just over 9 pounds), has lost 325 grams since Jan. He's cut down on his food, went off the Renal stuff and we are trying Fancy Feast to tempt him. I worry about him and it's starting to affect me at work and my sleep. I've been lurking over on a Yahoo CRF kitty group, reading stuff over there and trying to learn more. Up until now my BPAL has helped me stay up, feel better but tonight it's not. I don't know, maybe it's a couple of potentially lost packages (one from a forum person and a Possets package as well as no CnS/recent word on my 10/2 order although I thought Bill had said they were working on it when I emailed last week Edited to add that not even 5 minutes after I posted this I've had the CnS. Thank you Labbies. You are psychic and sent this exactly when I needed it) as well as Kitty, work and home stuff all getting to me. I've got my 'comfort scent' on now, Western Diamondback. Tomorrow is Friday. I have an appointment with my counsellor on Saturday and hold out hope that the MIA packages will be at the PO Saturday morning along with a couple of expected decants.

    Lunar Eclipse

    (I'm still developing my nose and learning to pick out the different notes so this will be light on substance if you are looking for a detailed breakdown.) I got my decant yesterday. I was worried that this would be a floral (especially with all the floral notes) or fruity scent. It isn't. I sniffed the imp and though "oh, well, ok. Gee, I've got a bottle of this on order?? Maybe I'll swap it". I know better than to make hasty in-the-imp decisions though. I brought it home, gave it another sniff. It's......unusual. It has a hint of spice, of medicine and herbs and something else. I don't really smell fruit strongly. There is a bit of a 'sharpness', could this be the tobacco or blackened fruit gums? On the skin and dry it is really nice! I can't put my finger on it but it's lovely. It's vaguely spicy but not in a head-shop kind of way. It's more sophisticated. It can be a good masculine scent or a good scent for a woman. I am glad I bought a bottle unsniffed before it came off sale. I'm debating if I need a backup bottle. I don't think it's my "Signature Scent" but it is very nice. If you like scents along the lines of Alone or Satyr this might be one for you to try.

    Bad BPAL Week.

    My BPAL week hasn't gone great. Maybe some planet is in retrograde or some Fate has been tempted? I lost out on 2 of the Lab's Ebay scents, one of them seconds before it closed. Ok, I can take that. Wasn't meant to be. Saw Three Witches for sale on the forum. ZOMG! I got an empty sniffie of this from Wren08 and it was lovely, now I want some. I PM'd but managed to miss it. Darn. Another one gone. Maybe it isn't meant that I buy BPAL this week. See a post on LJ about from someone with a CRF kitty, a sales post to raise funds. I see Alone! Maybe it is meant to be?? (see below for my spills, copied/pasted from the spills thread). Maybe I wasn't meant to buy the other things because I can get another Alone bottle and help a fellow CRF kitty owner. I've PM'd but no answer yet. Another one missed? Just when I think it can't get worse I got the CnS of d0000m. CnS's are usually "YAY" posts. But this one said it was going to Australia. Not that I don't mind enabling and sharing but a 9-bottle/2 imp pack order to Aussie? Nah, I'd rather it come here. I forwarded it to the Lab and Bill was able to track it down before it left the building. It's on it's way to me now. Whew. But it was a tense evening/day while I waited for an answer 'cause 2 of the 3 backordered bottles are on that one. Checked the PO today. Yay I got 2 of my decant packages, but none of the big Shunga/Lupercalias yet. And the one Ocicat mailed on 7/2 (imps) hasn't shown up. And the Possets I ordered for a coworker (with a bottle of Cadmium Orange) is late getting here. Hopefully it's due to bad weather in the US when it was sent. And the spills. Oh, the spills. The horror. Copy/pasted so if you've read this from the Spills thread you can ignore the below. Laugh. Please. Because I'm trying to.... Tuesday: In the Bathroom. Alone. And with Alone, my new favorite. Apply. Apply. Apply. Decide I need a bit more on my fingers so I can run it through my hair a bit more (my baseball caps smell nice!). I hold the bottle and run my fingers down the glass wand. When I set the bottle down and pulled my hand back the bottle stuck to a finger and dropped off, dumping Alone on the bathroom counter. I ran into the bedroom and grabbed a pipette (advice to Newbies: Invest in pipettes even if you don't plan to decant!!). I got most of it up. Bathroom = Alone. Thursday: In the livingroom, at the kitchen table (we don't have a dining room, tiny place). November. Not a favorite of mine or my wife. I was getting some imps together to send to a friend in the US to enable her. I decanted into a rollerbottle and thought "hmmm, maybe a bit more". Picked up the bottle, sucked up a bit more of November's flowers and leaves. Went to set bottle down. Same thing: bottle stuck to a finger and when I pulled my hand back I ended up with about 1/2 and imp's worth of November on the table. Sigh At least I had the pipette in my hand. I got most of it up, wiped the majority of it with a napkin and cleaned the rest with a Cancer Society bear. Carol remarked that as late as yesterday the table still smelled nice. This morning: (you can start laughing now, really....) Decided to decant some Satyr for same friend I'm enabling. She said she'd be interested in trying it. We were on a chat at the time so I asked her if she'd prefer a rollerbottle or regular imp. She said regular imp, she's a bit of a clutz. I laughed and told her I am too. Decanted Satyr into the rollerbottle and as I was pushing the rollertop bit on the bottle shattered into about 4 big pieces and some tiny bits. (Really, laugh now). It was 8am, I hadn't had a full cup of coffee. I know I'm a bit strong but really, not that strong! I sucked up a little bit of the oil but was worried about glass so didn't really suck up a lot. Wiped up the spill. Picked up the second rollerbottle. Sucked up more Satyr. As I was pushing the second roller top bit into the bottle base I hear a light crack and see a line run down the bottle. I gently pried the top bit out, a bit of the bottle broke but I was able to pour it into rollerbottle #3. Which mercifully didn't crack. Or shatter. Or do anything but sit and hold the oil. I've used these rollerbottles about a dozen times, this was the first incident. The table now smells like November and Satyr (not in the same places). Alone has faded from the bathroom. Laugh, really, go ahead.

    Forgiving Cats

    It was Mr Way's fluid night and it didn't go so well to start. My first attempt at sticking & he let out a little meow & hunkered down to try to get away from the needle. It was only half way in so I pulled it out, thinking I'd maybe gone in wrong. I pulled it out and tried again, same response. I decided to push it in all the way, start the fluids & see how it goes, knowing I could get them started and we could stop them if he seemed like he was in pain too much. He did well, settled down and purred while I scratched his chin. He got anxious towards the last 20 or 30 mls but he did well. As soon as he was done I took him in and gave him some jellymeat (wet food). Usually I give him some dry food but this time I thought he deserved something better (he does like the dry food). He ate. He came and settled on my lap, purred for a bit and was sooky. It's nice that he's come and settled. It helps me feel better. He was resting his head on my arm as I reached around him to type. PO this weekend. I got my Ebay Bed of Nails last weekend, the Etsy cases for Carol and Kelly and a couple decants (Smiling Spider & Spirit of the Komachi Cherry Tree). Smiling Spider did not like me and I was expecting something different. It's put me a bit in fear of the Mort De Cesar lunacy I bought, hopefully it's not quite that...strong. I really liked Bed of Nails. It is similar to Mechanical Phoenix but not quite as 'harsh' or metally. It's nice. I had that on today. And Ted went way out with the frimps, it was great! I really appreciated it all. I've got some goodies to send but want to get some mroe things.

    Forgiving Cats

    Hi, thank you for the encouragement! I'm typing this around Freeway, who's curled up on my lap He says thank you too. Wow, sounds like it was intense with you trying to do your first set of fluids! I knwo how stressful it is for us humans, I think our kitties take it in stride (even when it does hurt them a bit). We do ok but have the odd problem. LOL, my wife and I switch off and take turns. One of us sticks him and the other stands on a chair and holds the bag up near the ceiling. It gives us a break so one of us isn't always stressed from poking Mr 'Way. I'm going to have to start warming the fluid bag. It's the end of summer here and going to start cooling down. I understand he'll be more sensitive to the cold (especially with as skinny as he is). With as hot and humid as it's been I haven't wanted to start doing the warming yet. Freeway gets food after his treatment. He expects it now. I trained him to expect treats after having his nails trimmed so it's applied to his fluids too. We aren't using anything in his food. ? I don't know if it's available here. He's become stubborn and now refuses to eat his kidney food. He's always been picky, goes off something after a few feeds. We offer him the kidney stuff but also have regular down for the other 3 boys. He's lost a lot of weight and at this point if he's eating I'm happy. I'll check the Yahoo group, thank you. I'm sorry to hear about Holly. I'm sure you made her life better and more comfortable. I love my 'Way. I brought him to NZ with me 7 years ago. I came first, he finished his tests and came over, went through a month of quarantine where I got to visit him. I take each day as it comes with him. Every day is a gift. They are all precious to us, each has their special place in our hearts. We used to say we had a deaf one, a 3-legged, a 1-eyed and Mr Way who was a foreigner (that was his difference). Now he's got his CRF. Thank you for your comment and encouragement. Blessings, Alex

    Relay for Life

    I'm doing the Relay for Life again this year. It's today and the weather absolutely sucks. It wouldn't be a big deal but the stadium is an outdoors stadium. We have a marquis-style tent thingie to shelter in but the 2 green couches they took from work are going to get soaked so we may not have them after all. Bummer They are soooo nice when you've been walking for 1/2 an hour or more. I'm taking Satyr in my 1 ml rollerbottle. The scent isn't going to give people headaches in the tight confines and I'll still smell good. The spice might keep me awake a bit more, although I do pretty well with that on my own, I'm a night owl! We are going to the PO in a bit I'm expecting packages!! My Ebay should be here, maybe some of my decants and a Snacksters package too. I havent' heard from the LJ/forum person about the sale I paid for on 23/1. I've tried emailing and commenting on the original post. I tried to PM but her inbox is full. I really don't want to just leave negative feedback but I'm going to have to. If the imps aren't in the post today I'll try one more email, leave it a week and then leave negative feedback. I think I can amend the feedback if things change later but the fact that she hasn't even replied to any of my comments or my email isn't a good sign. It's frustrating.

    What scents are masculine? Gender-neutral?

    I have De Sade but haven't taken time to get to know it very well. Black Forest is nice. When I first got it (it was in my first BPAL imp pack) I thought it smelled like cologne. I have had it a few months now and it smells more 'pine' but more like the sap or the needles distilled. I haven't smelled Calico Jack or Windward Passage. I have Satyr and really like it. It's kind of spicey with a light amber undercurrent so if you are looking for non-cologne that is an option. I also have Western Diamondback and really like that. It's snakey/leatherish with a tiny bit of vanilla. Again, a non-cologne scent. Good luck and I hope he likes them.

    Pending Sales

    I've counted and we have 10 pending sales plus the lab Ebay sale I won which is already on it's way thanks to the illustrious Ted. Plus I'm getting ready to put in our combined order. I wanted to put it in by tonight but haven't heard from Symone yet to confirm hers are all bottles and not imps given the price (approx $65NZ). I might just put the order in if I haven't heard from her by tomorrow 'cause I'm pretty sure that's what she wants and I know she doesn't check her mail/internet regularly. I vascillate, wanting to put more Lupercalias & Shungas on this order and telling myself I can wait until March. Just for us on this order I've got Her Voice Muse CHESHIRE MOON LUNAR ECLIPSE MEN RINGING BELL WITH PENISES Western Diamondback I am also debating slipping a couple imps on. One of our coworkers has 3 imps I'm debating adding 3. Hmm, Maybe I can chuck on a Snake Oil (to see what all the fuss is about/start aging), an Embalming Fluid for Carol, maybe Wolf Heart for both of us and/or a Defutata for me. Yummmm cinnamon notes..... Ok, that is more than 3. I will either need to narrow it down or to-hell-with-it-order-more-than-6. I can hold off on the Lupercalia/Shungas I guess because I do have imps coming of those. Maybe we can get a few imps each order or a pack each order. Since we've got 3 imps already on it's only natural to put another 3 on to make a full pack.... On non-order related BPAL stuffs: I put Western Diamondback on tonight. I'm depressed. Things are getting to me, just personal stuff I don't want to get into it all here. I like the smell of the WDb. It's comforting. Is it the subtle vanilla? I don't know why but it is. I love it and it is definitely staying on the order! Meh, gonna finish watching Pushing Daisies. Maybe some light humour would be good.

    One of Every Shunga?

    I did it. I broke down and ordered at least one decant of every Shunga Salon. At least one. I have 2 of Ebisu Making Love as Two Octopuses Look On, Glowing Vulva & Spell of Amorous Love. That's so I have a couple to give to Aunt Sher & Kelly. I'm putting an order in for this weekend (hey, I can do that tonight!) and will be putting Men Ringing Bells With Penises from the Shunga & Lunar Eclipse from the Lunar on this order for me, Her Voice from the Lupercalia & Cheshire Moon from the Lunar for her. The Lunars are gone after the 22nd. I should chuck a Lupercalia for each of us on this one too maybe since I'll be doing the Shungas more next time. I'll think about it. We've already got 12 bottles since Symone wants 3. Next order I might just do Carol and I and ask Elizabeth if she wants anything. *thinking* Editted for thought: I've got a ton of decants coming, maybe I should toss a Lupercalia for each of us on this one 'cause when Carol sees all the bits and bobs I've got on order she might have a small coronary & I'll be under orders to freeze my Paypal

    Bad day

    Not a good day. Feel like poo because I didn't do something yesterday and I got a bit of shit for it. I'm tired and down. Of all days not a good day for something like that, I feel worse for it. And I've been feeling nostalgic, missing my step mom. At least E called to say Happy Birthday. We got an order today, it was mostly for everyone else. There was a bottle of Rose Red for her & an imp of Coyote for me. That was nice. I expected it to smell a bit different but it's still nice. Going to bed now. end to a day

    Looking for SPYCE scents... Royall Spyce, that is!

    Hi again, I've stumbled across this scent and it reminded me of your question. Check out the reviews: Al-Shairan

    Ebay

    I thought I'd get my feet wet and put in for some Ebay BPAL from the Lab. LOL, I was outbid within minutes on Nuclear Winter (I was ready to go up to $20, it's almost $38 now). I've got a bid on Trick: Tp'd Tree. I'll see if I get it but it's close already. It would be nice but I don't HAVE to have it. I do see Bed of Nails which sounds intriguing. It's under my threshold right now but would it stay that way? And I feel bad, 'sneaking in' and putting a bid in to take it away from someone else. How bad is that? Did I just say that I don't want to outbid someone?? That's half the fun, the chess game that is bidding and getting something. But BPAL is different. I don't feel like I'm taking it from some anonymous individual, I feel like I'm taking it away from my best friend. I don't know, maybe I'd feel different if I really wanted a scent, maybe then I'd be more cut throat. Or maybe not. I am amazed at how high the prototypes have gotten, althought I shouldn't be. I've seen discontinued LEs go for close to $100 so non-released one of a kind prototypes bringing in $180 and $190 is nothing. But it's interesting, 4 prototypes and 2 are going for $50/$60 and 2 for $180/$190. Why? Is it the notes? The name? Or what? Makes me wonder.

    Looking for SPYCE scents... Royall Spyce, that is!

    I love Satyr. You won't see anything about spice in the description, Lab description: "Unleash the bawdy, unrestrained passion of the satyr! A ferociously masculine scent: sexual, vigorous, and truly wild." It smells like it's got cinnamon, maybe a touch of clove and a tiny smidge of amber or something sweet?? It was one of the first imps I got and I own a bottle of it now. It's a GC in the Ars Amatoria (formerly Love Potions) sextion I mean section. Reviews Here Give it a try. You can order just an imp so if it doesn't work you aren't out a lot. Good luck!

    We Got Our Order Yesterday

    Yay! Our 7/1 order was here at the PO yesterday. 7 bottles and 14 frimps, wow, Thank You Lab!!! Some of the frimps weren't quite our style but that's ok because I can use them as frimps/swaps/sales. I will need to pass frimpage onto my coworker who ordered one of the bottles. But in ack-ness, I'm getting sick. My nose is trying to congest & my throat hurts. I'm tired. Not sleeping doesn't help the tired bit. I hope I am ok for the Relay for Life. Mr Way, my CRF kitty, is asleep on my lap. I'm stretched around him in an awkward angle and he's got his head resting on my arm. He's a sweet boy. The fluids seem to be helping a bit. It isn't anything too obvious, he wasn't acting really sick before, but he's grooming himself more now. His coat is a lot softer tonight too. Yes, we give him brushes before and after his fluids but it's his whole coat nad it wouldn't make that much of a difference. I still haven't found the right "stick your cat with needles" scent yet. Maybe in the next order or one of the private sales I've got coming in. I've got the scent for doing my injections every 2 weeks. Hmm, I wonder if Western Diamondback would be appropriate for Mr Way's stickings? I'll have to try that. Going to finish watching the CSI Miniature Killer repeat. I don't remember seeing the end when it first aired. I'm exhausted but want to see the end.

    What is Chaos Theory?

    Thank you Honeycat. I'm glad I know now for next time!! And yeah, I think we'll need at least a bottle for each of us when that comes along next. Here's 2004: Chaos TheoryHere's 2005: Chaos Theory II: The Butterfly EffectHere's 2006: Chaos Theory III: Strange Attractors2007: No Chaos Theory for this yearThank you GypsyRoseRed They sound intriguing and heartbreaking at the same time. It is cool that each one is unique but I think about how I'd feel if my beloved Satyr was a once-only..... I'll have to get at least for my wife and I when it comes up next....at least. Should I run to the Talk Me Down thread now?????

    Our CnS, We Has IT!

    I was really hoping to get this today, really needed to get it after a bad day. Just about ready to go to bed and thought "I'll just refresh my inbox". Desperate times call for desperate measures, yes??? Didn't expect it with it being 11pm here, 1am in Calif. But We gots it My Precious!!! This will be our 3rd order from the Lab, mostly stuff for coworkers. I tacked an imp onto someone's 5-imp pack so they could get the reduced cost & I could get one of the many imps on my list, and we got Carol a bottle of Rose Red before it was pulled from the site. Look *proud* This ship notification is being sent to you by the U.S. Postal Service at the request of SHIPPING DEPARTMENT.

A package with a Click-N-Ship label created on usps.com containing the following information is scheduled to be shipped on 01/25/2008. From: Shipped to: SHIPPING DEPARTMENT BLACK PHOENIX ALCHEMY LAB 12120 SHERMAN WAY N HOLLYWOOD CA 91605-5501 Our 7/1 order should be at the PO tomorrow (fingers crossed). I've got several private sales going, mostly decants so I can make our minds up about some of the stuff coming down from the Lupercalia & Lunacy updates. I have some decant supplies coming too, hoping to decant into 1ml rollerballs and stash a scent or two at work for the really stressful days when I need a boost and my scent is wearing thin. Also would be nice to decant some of the coworkers bottles into the 1ml rollerballs for the same reason. Also looking at picking up some wand caps for the same reason. Just nice little gifts for them this time around. Bedie bye time. I've got our 3-legged right next to me purring, the deaf white one crashed out next to him and Freeway, our CRF kitty curled on his pillow on the coffee table. Eyeball (the one-eyed) is crashed out in a heap on the scratch post. Adorable little monsters.
