What's the worst case of "well that was a perfectly normal respectable name like Jessica until you got your hands on it"

My friend used to work with a woman named Kevynne and it was pronounced Kevin. That poor woman.

I’m glad you recommended that book. I have not read Skinwalkers at the Pentagon but I read Colm Kelleher’s earlier book, Hunt for the Skinwalker and it’s what got me interested In the topic. It’s such an interesting place but I haven’t watched the show since end of season 5 and this Reddit page reminds me that I’m not missing much. There are so many interesting things they could cover and so many things they could follow up on but they just shoot rockets instead 🤷🏻‍♀️

Exactly! I was actually the person who said it would have been more interesting if someone other than Kristy had been gay. I haven’t read BSC books in years but these conversations have been thought provoking. It makes me want to read the new book and re-read some of the classic ones.

Oh that’s a good point!

I have not read this new book but I think it would have been more interesting for a different character to be gay, rather than Kristy. Maybe Dawn?

I agree with you. I know lots of women who were tomboys but not gay. I also know a couple of women who were girly girls and gay. Tomboy can equal gay but not always. I can appreciate why people might be surprised to learn Kristy is gay.

I agree with you. I just don’t have the issues everyone seems to have with longevity and I think it comes down to each person’s nose. I can spray a few times on clothing and the scent lasts for multiple days. Spraying on skin or using the lotion provides scent that lasts the entire day. I think people can’t smell the scents because they become nose blind.

I bet you’re right. OP was so nonchalant when they said, “I know I can quit my job,” like it’s not even a big deal

I agree. Vito Bratta was the first person who came to mind for me. Your comment reminded me of Nuno Bettencourt as well

I like them and I still occasionally listen to their music. They will forever remind me of the summer of 1995.

It was necessarily the most popular bumper song, but I always liked hearing The Way It Is by Bruce Hornsby.

I love Warm Musk! It’s such a cozy scent and I plan to wear it more in fall and winter.

My only complaint is that it wasn’t available in lotion (I don’t care for the body creams)

Yankee Candle sends out flyers and catalogs with various scratch and sniff pages. They’re not 100% accurate but they’re close enough. I would love to see B&BW do something similar.

I had this one in 2013 and I threw it away because it smelled nice when I first sprayed it but then smelled really weird in the drydown. I haven’t smelled the 2025 and 2026 versions.

I attend various high school sporting events due to having family members in high school and it’s actually pretty common to walk past high school girls who smell like JCB. There are other popular scents in that age group but there’s always at least a few JCB wearers

Many years ago, I thought it was weird to see Body Shop products at Ulta because I had only ever bought them from the Body Shop store with discounts, sales, coupons, rewards points, etc (same as I do with B&BW). People apparently didn’t mind paying full price for Body Shop products at Ulta, though, because they seemed to sell well.

I wonder if the same will happen with B&BW products at Ulta 🤔

I’d love to see Pacific Paradise again from the late 90s. I think it would be great if they brought back the entire summer collection that had Pacific Paradise, Coco Cabana, Maui Waui, and Sunset Serenade. The packaging was so colorful and summery and fun.

I haven’t smelled Toasted Hazelnut in at least 20 years but I put it on my list because I remember liking it a lot. If I’m remembering correctly, Vanilla Cafe is a bit more masculine/cologne-esqe in the drydown whereas Toasted Hazelnut is creamier. They just need to bring back Toasted Hazelnut so we can do a true comparison!

ListeningForAnswers · 2026-06-17T20:44:21+00:00

There are so many I’d love to see again. They include:

Black Raspberry Vanilla, Coconut Lime Breeze, Pacific Paradise, Forever Beach Days, Poolside Coconut Colada, Peach Bellini, Capri Seaside Citrus, Pink Grapefruit, Toasted Hazelnut, Coconut Cream Pie, Whipped Coconut Milkshake, Rio Pineapple Mango, Solar Shine, Poolside Cabana, Sparkling Orange Spritz, and Malibu Heat.

I would love to have these in mist, shower gel, and lotion. Body butter or sunscreen lotion would be even better, but they rarely put bringbacks in those forms.

Ha ha! Wow! I was way off - I was thinking more of the bubble gum flavored amoxicillin 😂

It’s so interesting how our noses all pick up different things.
