There's a perfume that is popular among young women in the area, not sure of name so won't hazard it. Every time I get around one who's wearing that perfume I start sneezing. Can't figure out why they like it, smells, to me, like a small animal died somewhere in their clothing. Sheesh, when I smoked nothing smelled bad and I never had sinus problems or allergies. Almost enough to make me go back to smoking. > >Liz >Who's had the AC on in the 90 degree weather >Proximal RNY May 7, 1998 >Surgeon: Dr. Charles Edwards Angel: UT Carol >St. Mark's Hospital, Salt Lake City, UT >Nordstrom's here I come. > I've been reading your sig line, you only have less than a week to go to your surgery?
