I heard something on TV last night and I realized I’ve heard it over and over and it’s kind of annoying. (Imagine…ME thinking something is annoying!) When people refer to the SCENT of a candle as the FLAVOR of a candle. I know that Webster’s first definition of flavor is odor or fragrance but most of us associate the word flavor with the secondary meaning which is the quality of something that affects the sense of taste. I don’t consider the words scent and flavor interchangeable. I don’t ask what scent of ice cream you’re eating. Or worse when people sniff body sprays and ask what flavor it is. It’s not hurting anyone, it’s not Earth shattering, just an observation of something that makes people sound ignorant.
I made some mini pizzas last night and the first bite scorched the roof of my mouth even after having rested. Don’t you hate it when that happens and then you’re faced with two choices, playing with the injured, puffy mess with your tongue and wait for it to recede the next day or play with the injured, puffy mess with your tongue until the membrane peels off and then thoroughly grosses you out. I chose to go with the first option though I’m usually more guilty of the latter. Don’t know why I felt like sharing that with you but I did and I’m sorry.
We were looking for a family to adopt for Christmas and our local Red Cross said they were “full” and didn’t need any more donors but we could donate to the RC as a whole if we wanted. Um, no thanks. The point was to adopt a needy family not throw money into a pot where I have no real confirmation that it’s going where they say it’s going. (Refer to abuses of money after 9/11 and Katrina) So I keep looking up other organizations and it’s like pulling teeth to try and find what we’re looking for so we’re still on the search. Many say the “deadline” is already passed. Um, there’s still 9 days until Christmas so I don’t see how that’s possible. “Sorry Mr and Mrs Jones and children…I didn’t meet the deadline so no Christmas for you.” Why can’t there just be one central website that refers you to places based on your location? If you should happen to know of such a site, feel free to list it in the comments.
Well, suppose I’ll sign off for now. Have a good one!
