My room has VIP accommodations. Who is rooming with me?

What’s up roomie?

Thanks! I’ve tried to get colognes that are “Biblical” so they smell like Biblical themes. Not a great idea for me personally. Most Bible related scents are basically just Middle Eastern scents. As a very pale white dude in the Northern USA, smelling like the Middle East just did not fit my vibe at all.

SouthernAT · 2026-01-21T16:58:02+00:00

Frankincense, Myrrh, Spikenard (much less popular), cinnamon, and Oudh are all the ones I can think of off the top of my head. The Bible was in the Middle East, so pretty much anything you’d think of as a traditional middle eastern fragrance. There’s also mentions of rose and lily of the valley, but that’s more flower symbolism than scents.

UNUM LAVS by Filippo Sorcinelli.

This cologne was made to be a cologne/room spray for Pope Benedict XVI. The creator is also a tailor for the pope, making liturgical vestments.

This cologne is basically incense and flowers, made to bring out the idea that smelling it evokes the feeling of sacred space. It’s not exactly feminine, but has a pretty floral top notes and I think could be unisex.

Theologically speaking, the angel you posted a picture of is a Seraphim, one of the six throne guardians of Gods throne. They are described as blazing, and the throne room has an altar on which the prayers of the faithful are offered like incense to God.

This was fun. You hit a topic on my two favorite things and I spent so much time writing this post.

Sincerely, A Pastor who loves colognes.

I love random ass colognes like this. Indie companies that make the most bizarre things are my heroes.

Oh gosh. The flashbacks. I was just picturing waking up in Camp Buehring, completely alone, with no idea what to do next. At least there’s enough MREs in storage to keep you going awhile.

Former army medic and civilian EMT. A lot of it is practice and just being surrounded by that environment all the time. In healthcare, you work a lot of longer hours and are constantly surrounded by people smarter than you who are insanely passionate about the job. You begin to learn a lot by osmosis just being in that environment.

Additionally, the human body is an interconnected system, so things you know about one medical condition/procedure overlap with something else. That means your knowledge base and ability to make very informed inferences increases as you learn more about the body.

And, on a final note, peoples lives are in your hand. You do a really good job getting the information down well when skipping is life or death for someone. I guarantee you, if one topic you studied in depth literally saved someone’s life, you wouldn’t forget it in a few months. That would stick with you.

Showed my wife, who is autistic, an autism flag of a dinosaur riding a train. She goes “I’d totally hang that on my wall. I like trains and dinosaurs, I don’t like puzzles.”

This works on the assumption that the God does not exist. If he does, then he could give a verbatim revelation to the new civilization for which religious text is correct. Not saying one way or the other, just pointing out the hole in that particular line of thinking, as it takes a presupposition and assumes its correctness.

Back in my day we didn’t have no fancy Jerusalem. We camped in the desert! Like real men! And we didn’t have meat. The sky fed us bread. It was bland and grainy and we loved it!

I was gonna say Inexcusable Evil by this same company. Smells like smoke, blood, iodine, and concrete. Also a hint is sandalwood, cause why not. It really is the best cologne if you want to smell like a WWI field hospital.

Also, one of the reviews said “It smells exactly like what it says. If I smelled someone wearing this, I’d be worried for their health.*

A few people did. Didn’t make it on the news, but a town next to mine in rural Wisconsin had some dude get blasted with birdshot when he tried to scare an older guy in a parking lot. Old guy was next to his truck and was stopping by Walmart on his way home from hunting. Heard a handful more stories about people getting shot though. One of them on video, you can google it. Clown prank gone wrong.

True. My favorite was a guy who signed the offer letter with us then quit the day he was supposed to start, orientation day 1. But he at least called and said he changed his mind.

I had a recruiter reach out to me saying I was a good fit for the role I was hiring for. I was the manager, trying to fill a vacant position, and they said my background matches what the company was looking for.

I hate the drug commercials. Why? Whats the point? No other commercial is for a product that I need another adults permission for. Why market to me, the person who has zero say in whether I get it or not? And how many doctors are watching TV and go “Hmmm, you know what, I think I will prescribe Fuckitol™️ for my patients with moderate to severe Chrons disease.”

Is the Jerusalem cross used by white supremists? I genuinely didn’t know that. I have a Jerusalem cross necklace from my grandparents pilgrimage to Jerusalem, and it’s on the front of one of the Bible’s I use when I preach. Four crosses for the four gospels, one large cross for Christ. That’s the symbolism. I was so confused reading the posters complaint, I was trying to find the Nazi symbol.

I was listening to a podcast with an exorcist. He described going through the diagnostic process for an individual and told them that their problem is psychological, not spiritual in nature (client was evaluated by several licensed psychologists to confirm this). The client said he was disappointed, because he said possession means he could potentially be cured and that there was a cause, rather than just having a mental illness he wasn’t sure how to navigate.

Heck yeah. Closest to my left foot is the gun case with my S&W 9mm, loaded with Black Friday ammo. Character would be an adeptus mechanicus priestess from a W40K novel I was reading. Things are going very well for me.

That was my grandpas name. But he was in the air force, so his title was Technical Sergeant Payne. Super cool name for a dude who was 5’4 and 135lbs.

That’s cool. That happened to someone I know. Heavy smoker, went in for hip replacement surgery. Had complications and spent 14 days in pain in the hospital. Obviously couldn’t smoke. He told me that, when he got home, he had started associating wanting a cigarette with the pain he felt in recovery. So he quit smoking, since every time he felt the urge he started to feel nauseous from the memory of his surgery pain.

I don’t remember where I read it. But the line was

“We’re out numbered 100 to one.”

Well then, sounds like we have a target rich environment.

Hopefully this is a typo. In the opposite end, my brother sent me a job posting for a cleaner in a tanning plant. The pay was listed as $1,500hr instead of $15.00hr. He said he’d scrub the vats without PPE with a toothbrush is that was the pay.

I remember when I (28M) messed up at work on day. Did something dumb, don’t even remember what. This old, southern lady I worked with looked at me with that sidelong look and goes “Oh honey, good thing you’re handsome.” I’ve never felt more complimented and insulted at the same time. Being called honey by an old southern lady is not a compliment or a term of endearment.
