There is however, a can of spray stink in my bathroom just in case. <br /><br />My only issue is the idea that there's anything natural or healthful about the stuff. I still use it, but it makes me crazy when I read the claims made by the manufacturers and retailers of it.Paul Anaterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05777487147630173644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2143843667296816868.post-59486879286795089942009-10-16T12:40:36.657-04:002009-10-16T12:40:36.657-04:00Thanks Paul.

This can be most difficult to achieve! <br /><br />One exception: I do feel that an artificial scent in the powder room (for dinner parties)is reassuring for the guests.

I was in line at Michael's a couple of weeks ago and two people ahead of me bought >$25 worth of resin pumpkin figurines and varying assortments of holiday "decor" that reeked of chemicals. You know, that sickening chemical/spice smell that assaults visitors at craft stores? I will never understand the affinity for schlock like that.Melodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05124636214096825169noreply@blogger.com
