    Andrew, you have some of my favorite scents (Sandpiper) from Stroylin. You have very good tastes!

    I’m not sure. I think it’s something to do with glaciers but don’t quote me on that.

    I don't know about Montreal on Monday,, but it is supposed to be in the single digits here, thus I would imagine frostier up there. Motivation for your Obsidian, perhaps?

    Weather lady says that we are waking up to 6 degrees on Monday. Sounds like a good time for the Island Man to breeze on through and thumb his nose at these wonderful temperatures.

    I don't like the attitude of one of the Boston station weathermen....doesn't take his job seriously at all unless the weather is terrible in some aspect. Thus he's either cynical or loves to talk about bad weather. Other stations have better weathermen....rergardless of the weather prediction, you get a calm, pleasant-mannered report. I'll take the latter, anytime.

    That sounds like horrible TV. The big 3 in Philadelphia do pretty well. Unfortunately NBC lost Sheena Parveen to DC. The other two Weather Women seem very nice and relatable. They remind people about animals and even talk about the homeless on dangerous nights. Who knows what they are like in person, but at least on air they seem to care.

    On another note, my college daughter just received her Stirling order, I don't mind admitting that I am very jealous! Lol

    That's wonderful the two you still have talk about animals. I contribute to a few organizations that provide various forms of assistance to them. And good for your daughter, getting the Stoylin. Maybe it'll encourage the males in that college to get some!!

    Oh yes Sir, she's getting the word out. Last year she had a male friend with terrible acne and was very ashamed. She asked my advice so I recommended the Tea Tree soap. From what I hear, he's completely cleared up and feeling like a new man. Stoylin is truly a game changer!

    My guess is that it is based on the typical color of obsidian glass (black) and that color's relationship with black licorice (even though licorice and anise - the identifying scent of the soap - are not technically the same thing). The good doctor can correct me if I am wrong (I won't be hurt :)).

    From Merriam-Webster Dictionary: Obsidian=a dark natural glass formed by the cooling of molten lava.
