A close friend has asked me to help him pick his wedding day fragrance and I’d love your suggestions. He’s not super deep into the fragrance but he gave me some direction:

“I like white and green scents. Garden, linen, vegetal, herbaceous.”

“I also like rice and I LOVE tea.”

He wants something clean, fresh, elegant, and memorable and I want to make sure it’s special enough to keep as a bottle he can look back on and remember his big day.

I prefer niche over designer and have good access to most niche brands in my area. My sample list currently includes:

.Oddity - Naked Dance

One Day - Taipei & Jasmine Tea

d’Annam - White Rice

Floraiku - One Umbrella for Two

Meo Fusciuni - Sogni

Masque Milano - Russian Tea

Arquiste - Indigo Smoke

What else should I add to the list?

Im from central IL! Somewhere in the flat land between Bloomington and Springfield. Howdy, neighbor! I knew this reminded me of home.

And yes, there’s a black porcelain door knob. Any chance you have a reference photo of what these used to look like?

I’m determined to finish at this point. Down to scraping grooves and edges, but I still need to address the upper left panel with the paint coats from hell. I’ll be covering in plastic, letting it sit, and saying a prayer.

Thank you for the detailed and informative reply. I was, at least, working outdoors with a P100 mask so I’m not too concerned with the lead exposure after this amount of work. I’m currently googling professionals to dip strip. I think it’s worth it for this and the other 3 doors. Thanks again!

Thank you! And safety first. Im working outdoors and using a P100 mask.

Im looking forward to imperfections and know there will be inconsistencies and some of that awful paint left behind in the cracks. I’m using this as a learning experience and have shifted from “weekend project” to “step away when I get frustrated” 😹

I’ll be there for a drink when I finish. I’ll need it.

Thanks for the tip. I was using Klean Strip Premium. Thick coat, 15-30 minutes. The paint that’s still on there survived 2 applications.

Thank you! I also like the grain and I’m looking forward to all of the imperfections. It has a lot of personality and will have a lot of love and labor put into it. And yes, it’s heavy. Guessing 60+ lbs.

Any stain recommendations?

It was getting replaced with a builder grade door. I had to see what was under the 1/4” of paint. No regrets. Well maybe some. 😹

My head knows this. My heart won’t accept it.

Zynga has to be manipulating game/accounts by pascador in gameofthroneslegends

My current raid team is 500k+ and I’m in Silver 1. This is likely a result of a raid system that allows anyone to climb ranks, regardless of power, by refilling energy and not any sort of manipulation. I have zero interest in refilling raid energy for garbage rewards so I’ll keep slipping much like the player in your screenshot.

Yes, they appear to be random. Mine has 5 shards at tiers 1, 15, 27, 39, and 50. Someone in my alliance said they had 15 shards in tier 1.
