never heard of it. I haven't used deodorant in years. Working outside in the summer, I sweat all over, not just arm pits. Take a shower, all is well. LOL

Why would I want to smell like Hawaiian Punch?????? I guess it would be way better than AXE, that stuff can gag a maggot!
Maybe they changed the formula?
That is what DW uses. She also uses their Peppermint toothpaste, way WAY too minty for me and I like mint OK. We also use Tom's floss.

Lol, Hawaiian Punch is SOOO masculine now, I guess. My dad was probably using it because the antiperspirant bothers him and it seems to do a good job but not leave a scent trail behind him. My kids like it too much. I gave them their own tubes of it. Funny thing is that they still are happy to get into and shred mine to little pieces (but no more deodorant bathing, so I guess that's a win).
Axe is terrible. I'd forgotten about it. The scent kind of reminds me of bucks in rut now. I'm glad that trend seems to have puttered out. School was a dangerous place for a while scent-wise.
Who exactly did it appeal to?

Ummmmm……. My husband….. he wore it. He used to drench in colognes, after shave, scented everything. When I got this chemical sensitivity, he didn’t understand that I couldn’t breathe around him. It took awhile.

Aw man, I'm glad he likes it. I'm sorry he had to stop if he enjoyed it. I guess it's a love it or hate it thing. It's a very strong multifaceted scent. I guess it could be quite nice if you enjoy it.
...assuming he did stop and doesn't just still enjoy regularly taking your breath away.

Yes, I like Tom's of Maine deodorant, use the mint toothpaste and sometimes the one that is cinnamon flavored... don't know if they still make it. I like that it is flouride free. But sometimes I use the "store brand" if it is flouride free... the deodorant comes in several scents and unscented... can only get the unscented or the apricot at Walmarts which is where i first found it... other ones at the health food store but they are much higher priced....
They have come out with a man's line of deodorant also....

We're starting to change plans on the barn build today. Demo is probably going to be as expensive as the barn. Looking around at homes in the target area.

Are you hinting "moving" again????? With the a**hole neighbor I can't blame you but OMG.... 
. Of course, there might be a better place... maybe across a state line???? Don't go to NY state though.......
for whatever you decide....

We are planning our Tennessee move, sooner rather than later. The price for demo+building is not something we'd want to spend if we are not going to enjoy living here, and we do not. And I would really benefit from my family near by to help with emotional support and with the kids...
Unfortunately we need to find decent accommodations for the standard goats at our new place or I will not bring them. I will not have them under housed again if I can help it. Depending on what kind of housing we find it may be time to sell a lot of goats, which will make me and the kids very, very sad, but moving out of here, nearer to family, and getting into a more farm friendly, yet closer to city amenities my other half needs will be very good. Definitely checking the zoning of properties. My parents are using their network to help us find a home and other things. We are not in a hurry (but that tends to be when things move the fastest, oddly enough).
As kind of a depressing side note, I tried to bring in a second house dog from Barb, and maybe later test the waters for dog breeding. Dan fell in love with her. Unfortunately the night before last Dan went from troublesome pixie faced to blobby face as his face and ear began swelling up after cuddling little Ms Puppy and scratching his ear. And it's stayed swollen. After talking to some experts it's most likely Dan is probably very allergic to dog saliva that the dogs are putting on each other doing normal (happy) playing. If he isn't too sensitive, bathing the dogs frequently would help. Unfortunately Dan reacted on day 2 after I bathed the puppy...that would mean they'd probably require daily bathing assuming he doesn't get more allergic and that wouldn't be good for their skin. I don't want Dan to be allergic to something that lives in his own house or for the puppy and Moses to have dry skin their whole lives so rehoming both dogs is the best course of action (Dan admitted that Moses makes him itchy and sneeze too. Very much I wish he'd told me earlier). I am bummed. Dan is bummed. Dh is stressed out because he decided we should go ahead and relocate and giving Mass more of a "fair shake" didn't pay off...(Aiden and the baby avoided big feelings of their own here). Poo.
We will be alright. At least Dan isn't having breathing issues (knock on wood really, really hard). I can look carefully for homes. Ms Pepper puppy is smart and super quick with potty training she's making Moses look potato slow (I get the feeling he wouldn't care if I say this as long as we love him). She doesn't have a care in the world right now, but she deserves a stable home quickly. I'm still wondering if I can pull off Moses, but I don't think that would be fair to Dan or Moe. That's just what I want.
Hey, at least I still have Bailey. Hands off my mega pooch and giant lap dog, Dan! She's got a job for do. Also, he's never reacted to her. I guess she's not very spitty and she lives outside.
*Knock on wood really hard again for everything above*
(edit: still exploring options, maybe, maybe I can keep my house dogs, I like those guys!)

You should be somewhere where you are happy. As far as the goats go, you can put up cow panel hoop shelters for the interim between moving in and building a barn. Hoop shelters are better than you might realize and would work well until you got a proper barn built. I’d hate to see you reduce your herd after working so hard to have such a fine herd. Plus you would be taking fresh bloodlines to Tennessee, which I’m sure people would be glad to add to their own herds. Think on that. A temporary fix would be better than having to get rid of your very fine animals.
