The Kitchen Table

Dont look if you are are easily offended....

16 years ago

I dont know if we can show brand names on here so I turned it around.

I bought this yesterday and everyone I have mentioned it to thinks it is blatantly "suggestive"...I wonder who thought up that design, a man or a woman? Im tempted to call the company and ask. Im not sure if I think its stupid and comical or if Im disgusted,,,maybe a bit of both?( Its anti perspirant, by the way)

It doesn't suggest anything to me. ?? It's odd - looks like it would be top-heavy, but I certainly don't think it resembles any "thing" I've ever seen...if that's what you're suggesting.

It is odd looking but nothing else, in my eyes.
I guess it could be offensive if someone was looking to be offended.

Maybe it's a double duty antipersperent?
Did you read the label.

*snort*

Okay.

Bad BAD Lori.
Go sit in the corner and THINK about what you just said...and try not to laugh too loud...

Lori who is 'on one' today so you might want to ignore her or alert Tamara....*G*

By their definition I'm a red neck in a number of ways. But I'm an uppity red neck. My claw foot bath tub planted with flowers) sits on slabs of Alexandrite that I scrounged from the local marble and granite shop! My satellite dish is the roof of my gazebo that has wrought iron furniture in it. My tan is a farmer's tan. I didn't make anything out of beer cans but have LOTS of things made from bottles. My fountain is made from galvanized tubs. I'm proud to be a redneck if that is how you define it!!! ~~Mimi

Trees that don't break so easily in ice storms

Hi Jessaka, The answer is kinda, sorta yes, but nothing is absolutely guaranteed because even the sturdiest and toughest trees can only handle so much weight before they collapse or snap in half or lose limbs. I remember that The Oklahoman had a news article either late in 2007 or early in 2008 after the December 2007 ice storm and it talked about all the damage around OKC, especially around the Myriad Gardens area. The newspaper reporter did mention a mere handful of tree types that survived the storm and one that stuck in my mind is the Gingko, which surely has to be one of the slowest-growing trees in the entire world. (So, if you choose to plant a Ginko, be willing to spend a lot of bucks to get a bigger one because its' growth will be painfally slow, so you want to start out with a larger one.) If your tree trunks are still standing, you probably will get some regrowth on those trunks more quickly than you think, by the way. Just as important as the handful (I think it was only 3 or 4 or 5) of tree types that survived the storm would be the list of those that showed the most damage, which I think included willows and pines, which is not surprising. I think most oaks took a lot of damage too, but probably because they are hardwood and would have "snapped" instead of "bending" under the load of the ice. Of course, the willows and pines "bent" until they "snapped", so I don't know what difference it made. I'll see if I can find and link the article. There may have been other news articles too, and you might want to google and find the Oklahoma Forest Service website and look there too. I suspect they'll have publications on ice storm damage, saving damaged trees, etc. that you can read or download and print. How is the dear little apricot tree? Still standing? Dawn Here is a link that might be useful: The Oklahoman's Article on Trees/2007 Ice Storm

OA, pretty cool, the only thing to change is the size of the cells. If you go to the top, and put your curser on one of the lines at the edge of the cell, and drag the curser, it will enlarge the cell so the words don't overflow into the next cell, plus if you have a more wordy description it will now fit. I am glad you knew how to do an attachment of the excel like this, I could not figure out how to "show" it to you all. thanks! PS, the excel in the example that I use is just a guide line for me, you can adjust it to your own personal needs.

Now you know doggoned well they knew exactly what they were doing LOL. It has been a part of marketing for a loooong time, including the CocaCola bottle. We had a soft drink bottle that was much more graphic than this roll-on. Was and exact replica w/ texture around the top and everything. I think it was sold for about a month before public outcry made them change the bottle design.

Yep, Mallory. I agree,,,the old saying "sex sells" ,,But I still want to know who designed it ! LOL! And, NO, I wasnt looking to see that. Maybe my whole family and all my friends are perverted,,,as we all think its meant to be suggestive.And it is more so in person!

If they wanted it to look more like the real thing, I could have done a much better job. The top is too flat. Of course I haven't seen that many.

My vote is it was designed by a man, too. I'm betting women know our turn-ons aren't normally visual. Imagine me trying to drink from that bottle I described earlier. Couldn't do it. I tried though. LOL

I think it's a dorky design in a dorky color but I don't see anything suggestive about it. I just showed it to my husband and he didn't see anything either.

I don't think it was designed by a male. I think it was designed by a woman -- to be more comfortably held in one hand, to apply deodorant to the underarms.

'Cause otherwise, that's the ugliest one I've ever seen!
