The Incredible Stinking Woman

There really is nothing quite like a minor bout with food poisoning to liven up an otherwise boring Friday afternoon.

On that note, a word of advice: Outback's shrimp-and-crab dip doesn't keep overnight, refrigerator or no.  This might be a good time to have some Courtesy Flush: http://www.justadrop.net/

If things work for a few weeks at a time, couldn't you go back into the drawer of sticks and start "recycling" them? Just a thought.

I have this same problem. Not as much in the winter -- perhaps because I sweat less? - but in the summer I have to switch deoderants every 3 weeks. Joe got this stuff called Lavilin http://www.zoomlavilin.com which you are supposed to use in lieu of deoderant to cut your stinkiness down. It does work, although the first day I sweat and I could smell myself too, and well I was skeptical, but by day two no more smellies only sweat. So I use it with deoderant and I am not stinky and I am not sweaty. Hope that helps.

Oooh, thank you! I'm gonna have to go get a pallet of it at Sam's Club! ;)

I don't have the deodorant situation quite as badly as you do, but I have had many battles with deodorants. at least you can put up the ones that don't work on freecycle or given them to a women's shelter. they always need that stuff--i love getting rid of all of the crappy lipstick samples from Clinique that way! (as a side note, why are ALL their lipsticks hideous on me??)

Ooh, thanks; I'd never even heard of that!! What a great idea!!
WRT Clinique, it's surprising that a company that bills itself so all-encompassing can't manage to get anything right for some skintones. I stick with some drugstore brands, and the occasional dip into whatever looks nice at Sephora.
