Orange blossoms have a unique smell,
A scent you will never forget-
Something that you will like so well;
A true and lasting scent!!

Come on, play along! In the comments section, type in where you figured it out at. (Which line!) What have you got to loose?


CLUES: 


I've often been known to make people cry,

And the truth is- I don't know why.

I shed my skin, and have a strong smell-

Some people don't like me, I can just tell!

Usually I'm white, but sometimes not,

And my skin is often brown, unless I rot.

I am a vegetable, and I grow under ground,

I can spice up your life, without a sound!

What am I?

An onion!

Review: Middleton's Black & Mild Wine Cigars (from a Non~Smoker)

 

Middleton's Black & Mild Wine Cigars: This Non-Smoker Loves the Smell, Not the Habit

My husband is a smoker. However, what he smokes is not cigarettes; he smokes cigars. His favorite was Middleton's gold and mild until recently. Now, Middleton has a new flavor in the black-and-mild line: wine.

 

 

When he lit it up, the scent was amazing. And for me to say that, is also amazing! I complain about smokers and smoking! I am not a smoker; however I have been known to enjoy a very rare cigar once in a while.

Since the odor peaked my interest, with what seemed to be grape-like to me, I asked my husband to hand it over and let me try it. I took it in, and tasted. It seemed OK, so I thought maybe I had better try another. I took another puff. What was very different about the whole experience, after you have stopped, inhaled and licked your lips, it was like you had just had a glass of wine! I am not kidding! The after taste, is just like it! Not a little, a lot! Not exaggeration here, I thought it was quite enjoyable. I was not expecting it, because my husband "likes" to smoke, I was certain he was just carrying on, because it was new and different. It is an acquired taste, and definitely different, and quite enjoyable, all wrapped up into one!

Unlike the gold and mild that my husband usually gets, that taste like crap when they are lit, and smell like it too, this was much better all the way around. I was impressed!

The unfortunate thing about this new cigar, is I almost had my husband to the point of quitting. He had slowed down to maybe a cigar a week. Then these came out, and he truly likes them. And to ask my husband why he smokes, his answer, is "Because I like it." He says, it's not that it's a habit; it's just that he truly enjoys smoking.

Now that these are out, he is back up to five cigars a day. And that's how these come, five to a pack.
The pricing for the cigars is different with most any location, but ranges to a little over two dollars a pack. These cigars are made by John Middleton, and the location of his company is in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania. On the package is no toll free number, or web site. The cigars are made of a fine blend of pipe tobacco. According to the AC Nielsen ratings, in 2004 Black and Mild were the top selling cigars in the US!

They come filtered or unfiltered, the choice is yours. The ones with the tip are plastic. They have several different flavors including: Apple, and Cherry. There are others, also. They even have another version, called Fast Break Black, which is half the size of a regular cigar.

Update:
Here is the web site for the products offered by John Middleton:

 John Middleton Cigars
 

They have four different surgeon general warnings that they have placed on their cigars. I have found and written down each warning, with each pack that we have bought. The warnings vary with each And every pack. Here they are for your viewing pleasure:

SURGEON GENERAL WARNING: Cigar Smoking Can Cause Cancers Of The Mouth And Throat, Even If You Do Not Inhale.

SURGEON GENERAL WARNING: Cigar Smoking Can Cause Lung Cancer And Heart Disease.

SURGEON GENERAL WARNING: Tobacco Use Increases The Risk Of Infertility, Stillbirth And Low Birth Weight.

SURGEON GENERAL WARNING: Cigars Are Not A Safe Alternative To Cigarettes.

SURGEON GENERAL WARNING: Tobacco Smoke Increases The Risk Of Lung Cancer And Heart Disease, Even In Nonsmokers.

I do not promote smoking, as I stated above, it is something that I dislike a great deal. But if you must smoke, or have to smell it-advise your smoking friend- to try these. Or even try them yourself. I think you will be impressed too! It is very appealing all the way around. I do hope that they get enough sales of this, to keep the product line up and running. I do know that companies discontinue things for low sales, and popularity.

On a scale of one to ten, I give this a nine. Why a nine? Because I don't truly promote smoking.

Sorry.

Advise: Air Fresheners for Diaper Odors

Air Fresheners for Diaper Odors

How embarrassing. But sadly, bodily functions cannot be avoided. However, eliminating the odor, is something we can control. Here today, a Mother to five- I am here to offer you my advise.

"Eeeewww, what is that smell?!"

 

 

For starters, as soon as the diaper is changed and ready to be thrown out, take it directly to the dumpster, out side trash can, anywhere but in the house. If you can't do it, perhaps you can have someone do it for you. And if you must keep that raunchy smelling diaper in the trash and in the house, you might want to turn the ceiling fan on. In the meantime, maybe light a few scented candles, out of reach of your child. Perhaps maybe even an in scent too. There are also sprays that they claim are now natural and better for our environment, and eliminate germs. However, some people prefer not using aerosols.

If the diaper you removed is soiled with poop, my advise if you are unable to get the diaper out of the house, go to your bathroom, and dip the diaper into the toilet and rinse the poop into it and flush. Not flushing the diaper!! With store bought diapers this is more difficult, because the diapers will continue absorbing the toilet water. This routine is best used with the cloth type diapers. To help out, you can use the handle of the toilet brush and scrape the soiled diaper into the potty. After-wards, please be sure to rinse thoroughly the toilet brush in the toilet too. Please remember NOT to flush any diapers period.

With cloth diapers, there are diaper hampers. In those diaper hampers, in the lid is where you put this scent thing, much like the scented items you hang on the inside of the toilet ring. If you cannot find these, toilet companies and hardware stores sell them, because they are often used in male urinals. These are harmful if swallowed and are eaten, please keep out of reach of children! Also, these diaper hampers are dangerous if your child attempts to climb inside, the could possibly drowned.
Another remedy for any annoying scent, is in the bottom of your trash can, or even trash bag, dump a small amount of pine-sol, into the bag or can to help fight odors.

There are air fresheners that you can now plug into outlets to help eliminate odors as well. They can't hurt. Another thing you might want to try is dumping a little bit of baking soda onto the poop inside the diaper, rolling the diaper up, making sure to thoroughly close it, and then toss it into the trash. Baking soda is supposed to absorb odors, and we all know, it works in the cat box!

An even simpler solution and less costly, open the window! If you do not get the diaper out of the house, the odor will linger, there is no way around it! Maybe you could consider putting a trash can right outside the back door, just for those nasty diapers that truly knock your socks off! LOL
The next thing to look forward to- potty training. You will be glad to be rid of those diapers, and their cost! Trust me! Good luck, diapers aren't one of my fondest memories! LOL
 
Please note: If ever you buy and use unsafe and harmful chemicals, and your child gets a hold of them, please call your local poison control center immediately. Upon transportation to the Hospital, please get in touch with your local pediatrician. You can never be too safe, all it takes is looking away once. Put all dangerous chemicals up and out of reach at all times. Any child age group, will check them out. Safety first!
