I had friends growing up who I avoided going to their house (elementary school age) because I thought it smelled musty and moldy. Come to find out later it was patchouli that I associated with a musty moldy smell and it made sense considering their parents were hippies who had a VW bus and followed the Dead at some point.

I am sure it smells lovely to a lot of people, but I have met a lot of people who think it smells exactly the way I think it smells. I havea hyper sense of smell so that is likely also a factor.

I hate the smell of patchouli and I don't understand why people would want to smell like that. It kind of reminds me of a job I had when I was in 9th grade at the local VFW Post. I washed dishes for the Friday night fish fry during lent and smelled like a vat of frying grease by the time I got off shift.

All of this talk about locs and patchouli made me take the lazy route and wikipedia patchouli and locs. It was a very good reminder of the difference between the centuries-old "organic locs" that tend to be considered unkept even if oils and fragrances are used; and the "salon locs" that are considered more polished and are a more modern form of locs.

But seriously, I have no problem with teeth that maybe need some orthodontics. My husband has naturally perfect top teeth, but his bottoms are as crooked as a stone fence. No biggie! My opinion of bad teeth are ones that look like they haven't seen a toothbrush in years (let alone the inside of a dentists office), have major receeding gum lines OR obviously fake teeth. A full gold or silver tooth is a turnoff. Steve Buscemi teeth? No problem. Have a Modonna gap? It's cool. Have teeth that are stained from coffee? We have Crest white strips for that. But if you're teeth are rotting out for whatever reason.... bleck.

The husband of a good friend of mine has a genetic disease that predisposes him and 2 of their 3 kids to rotting teeth. No matter how often they see a dentist or bush, they still rot (she also lets them drink tons of pop and eat tons of junk though, so she's not exactly helping their condition). She admitted that even though she loves him, she couldn't kiss him. He decided enough was enough and got a full set of dentures 2 or 3 years ago at the ripe old age of 34. He looks amazing now, and you'd never guess they were false, and she's happy as a clam.

Guess you didn't know that I'm a geriatric counselor. I see drool-a-plenty. I tease that the doctor I mentioned is my back up plan for marrying money! He gets these little nasty bubbles in the side of his mouth. *shudder*

Those nasty pictures really do need to go! When I say nasty teeth, I'm thinking massively crooked, yellowed, chipped or even smell-able. They do NOT have to be that bad ( but I'd puke if I saw someone with those mouths!).

^^^ Damn you. Doesn't everyone see bush at the dentists office?

IrishLake · #13 11-09-2010, 05:16 PM

A man in bluorange Boise City Juco Donkey gear. Srsly, that is a huge turn off for many reasons, including the fact he probably lives in The City of Trees, is a bandwagon fan and not an alumnus, and if he does go to the school won't graduate.

(True story I met a graduate student who was interesting and we hit it off, then it came out he was a donkey and started insulting my school and education, while attending said school. If this place sucks so bad why are you going to school here, oh that's right, Boise doesn't offer your program and you couldn't get into other schools. WTF you are so dumb, forreal.)
