ATTENTION: http://www.livejournal.com/~username/friends?skip=### only goes as far back as 975. Guess how I've been spending my time at work today? :P

Also: I am quite happy about the space heater under my desk here. Yummy for cold mornings.

I have also begun to wean myself off of deoderant, on the recommendation of several hippie friends. For a week I noticed my own smelliness more than usual (the week BEFORE the hot weather, actually) but now my body is getting used to it. Hardly smelling at all. Whee!

Time to file things. Wheebop.

i forget where but a few years backi found soem info basically sayign that all the "don't use deodarant" stuff is merely panic, and it doesn't cause cancer, death or any other unpleasant side effects...

There was the Alzheimer's thing, too.

I'm pretty sure that was only related to anti-perspirants, not deodorants in general (deodorants don't stop you sweating, they just make the sweat less stinky).

Eh, they weren't warning me about cancer or death. Just basically that deoderant is a self-perpetuating cycle - it blocks your sweat glands and MAKES you stink. Anyway, I'm not really doing it for "health" reasons, more simply to remove something I have to pay for from my life. ;)

As long as you clean yourself properly on a regular basis, it is doubtful that you could really stink without some outside force (say moving heavy boxes or something similar). To my knowledge, no-one has ever complained that I am stinky...mayhap they don't want to tell me to my face...must ponder that further.

However, fifth graders don't know that cleaning bit. They don't necessarily clean themselves properly on a regular basis. And they don't know what deoderant is. I don't care which they start doing first...I just wish some of them would learn one or the other.
