It's often difficult to ascertain exactly who a message is directed at in here, so please forgive me if I'm being presumptuous in assuming your "More hypocrisy" message was directed at me. If it was not directed at me, I'm sure the following still applies:

I have no argument with you - but I have to assume you're an imposter as none of us here have been informed of your credentials, and your posts, although entertaining and often humourous, have shown neither evidence of insight nor professionalism in pyschoanalysis. But even imposters must keep up the pretense to the best of their ability - I assume you have some "ability" in this direction for you to have chosen this field in the first instance?

Therefore I will give you the benefit of the doubt if you would please elucidate with reason and logic your charge of "hypocrisy" - exactly where, how and when was this distinction earned? Perhaps you could quote from the guilty post and then show what invalidates this?

This is of course all in the interests of avoiding future misunderstandings, not to mention any further acts of blatant hypocrisy.

Bee, I'm certainly familiar with the "I-hit-my-head-against-a-brickwall-because-it-feels-so-good-when-I-stop" syndrome and I have in the past subscribed to that, but I've also learnt when the object is so way beyond reasoning that it's just not worth the time and effort, so please don't expect from me any response to your blabbering. You are not a factor in my particular equation and you are therefore non-existent for me.

After changing the flying profile to the close-up picture, it has become it bit scarier for little children to look at, but not for me, no sir, not for me. 8)
YdF- may be you can prescribe for me some drops of tinctura valeriane, so I would not die from fear, before the thunder and lightning of the flying witch strikes me?

Pheremones have a direct link to the mating process. The picking of one's mate as it were, is aided by these pheremones. Esp. in the animal kingdom, of which we are one, natch. There is a perfume called Pheremone. Quite costly to make - one day I'll buy myself a bottle - see if it works. :wink:

Linda.
Well... Linda... you're both right and wrong, IMHO.
Pheromones are very important when we think about insects mating process. However, as far as mammals are concerned, no-one has really proven the existence of pheromones.
You're right that we are part of the animal kingdom. But our brains are much, much bigger and complicated than those of insects. That's why insects have to rely on those chemical molecules - we don't have to. The process of evolution is responsible for this change.

Of course I am aware of the existence of the Pheromone perfume. Very nice marketing idea :lol:

I hope some day you'll buy a bottle of them and tell us whether it works or not. I hope it will - but I am pretty sure that would be an effect of your charm and wisdom - you could use plain water instead of those bloody expensive mixture of chemicals :)

All the best,

Mirek

Whoa! I'll take that as a compliment, Mirek, despite my rather incorrect interpretation of the whole pheromone process!

Thankin' ya!

Mirek- isn't there something taken from the organs of vales-called maskus(muskus?) or something like that, which is a base used for creating the best perfume? May be that is what Linda has mentioned as a pheremone?

You're welcome, Ma'am. See - your post is also the proof, although somewhat indirect. Compliments are not very well known in the insects' world.

Mirek,

You are so right. Compliments are not so common in the insect world, nor are posts.

So, feeling as snug as a bug in a rug, I go off and read my book.

See you,
Linda.

Pheromones wow we are off topic. But I must add my .02 here. Oh they do exist. I am amazed when a person wears cologne and perfume, why would you want to cover up your natural smell. Maybe it is not pheromones, but the way a human smells is thier signature. Mothers can tell the smell of their babies clothes from a pile of clothes. The olfactory function is very important in a babies development.........
I was dating a man from Sri Lanka. I liked him very much. At work one of the chefs was perparing curry, I was floating on air in another part of the kitchen, I knew that I was in more than like. To this day the smell brings me back to him. I love garlic, call it guylick, was at a movie with a man I was attracted to and smelled this wave of garlic coming off him, then I realized why I was so intrigued wth him.......pheromones? Why not, smell taste touch very feel.....the joys of life very nice. Our sense of smell is one of our most powerful senses, it can stir up emotions like nothing else can. I hate the smell of patchouli, maybe a hippie was rude to me when I was a child :lol:

I stand by what I wrote. Is it possible to see a copy of this 'suit' that is either quoted from or paraphrased in the articles concerning Leonard's tribulations? I would like to see a copy for myself. Everyone else seems to have one. I do not want to have snippets from it, I do not want to have interpretations of it - I want to see the actual 'suit'. What is wrong with taking a bubble bath - and was it at her house or his?

YdF ~

Don't quote me out of context to support a position, that you've conjured in your own mind, and attribute it to me, via the Quote function and the use of my name.

The scenario I described was in response to a complaining allegation made by someone here that Leonard did not shower Kelley with gifts.

Thank you.

Dear Jo,

People say they don't want to know the gossipy stuff...but they really do. It's human nature. The McLean's article is full of little tid-bits from the principals involved. Everbody on this forum read the entire article from beginning to end. No one stopped at the rather caddish revelation that Leonard "never spent the night" and said to themselves, "I can go no further." No--everyone went further--all the way to the end. And everyone is going to keep on going further and reading everything they can get their hands on.

Me...I'd like to know if the financial meetings in the bubble-bath were tax deductible.

Linda, forget about the pheromones gadget, you are likely to attract just more moskitos with that. Instead try to treat your darling with the aphrodisiac cocktail Le lait du dragon

Recipe :

- milk
- honey
- sesame seeds
- wheat germ
- brewers' yeats
- almonds
- ginseng in powder

You sprinkle the final mix with grinded nutmeg and serve.

They don't give the quantities, however. Strange. I guess that you have to figure by yourself which quantities of which would suit the darling better and also as the results would never be the same each time you do it, it is more aphrodisiac that way. I don't know.

Financial meetings in a bubble bath suggest that Leonard is more into sensual indulgence than in the harsh and boring realities of the world of finance. Another sign that he wasn't really paying attention, didn't take the whole thing seriously. Maybe the bubbles were deducted from the tax bill, but then they too had to break.

Someone mentioned to me that he did an interview years ago in the tub. After reading this I wondered if it were true that he conducted business in the tub. I don't believe what Ms Lynch says bcause I think she is out of touch with reality. She has been caught stealing, a person in her situation would say just about anything to save face.

I go back to what I said in another thread. Never balme the victim.
