That tribute dance is amazing and deserves to be widely seen.

That's a different Sting than I was expecting.

Soap Thoughts.
Grew up with Ivory because showers were unheard of and a soap that floats was pretty handy in a bathtub. Ultimately switched to Safeguard (white not beige), but nothing cleans better than a bar of Lava. I've never tried Dove and while it does smell nice; as someone who has had his mouth "washed out" with a bar of soap, I'm reasonably confident that Dove's chocolate tastes way better than their soap.

Happy Friday Miss C!

My parents insisted on using Zest because it did not leave a bathtub ring. After I left home, I bought Ivory, but now I splurge on Dove.

Happy Friday, gwdMaine!

You guys use SOAP ... on your SKIN ?
All those precious protective body oils you are soaping off go straight down the drain ... no wonder you get sick !

Meh. I only shower maybe once a week so it all works out.
