Today's Question:

Old friend and his Wife, Daughter, and Granddaughter.

Where they invited or did they just pop by

Popped by. Daughter and Granddaughter were in town and they knew I hadn't seen them for a while so they made the grueling 3 minute drive and we spent a few hours talking, laughing, and having a great time.

Baked beans and sauerkraut... Oh, you mean "scent" as in a GOOD scent. Then in that case Yankee Candles and whatever the DW finds that catches her fancy.

Oh, you have hit upon my pet peeve. We have about 7 million bottles of God-only-knows-what all over the shower. Personally I would have a bar of Ivory soap, and a SINGLE bottle of plain-ol' regular shampoo. I really don't need to smell like Passion Fruit infused with Huckleberries and Lotus blossoms when I go out to a job site or the woods.

Do you use the same kind as your spouse,SO,kids ?

I use whatever my hand lands on first. As long as the bottle says shampoo somewhere on the label I am good to go. My personal thought is that you can tell the stage of life a straight guy is in, by looking at his shower/tub area:
1) Cheapest bottle of shampoo there is on the shelf and nothing else = single;
2) 7 dozen different shampoos and then all their matching conditioners, body lotions, shower gels, spritzes, splashes, loofahs, & a dozen different skin products = newly married
3) 6 different shampoos and 3 different baby shampoos and conditioners with just a few different bath/shower products = Newer Fatherhood
4) One side has 3 dozen bottles of different shampoos, conditioners, & lotions; the other side has 1 bottle of the cheapest shampoo and a small body wash bottle = Settled in, comfortable in marriage and older kids; but willing to accept a bit of "domestication." (This is me right now)
5) Bottle of toilet bowl cleaner, small bottle of colored lamp oil, and a urinal cake = Widower ready for the nursing home and a new set of glasses.

I could really go for a nice Full nights sleep without interruption right about now.
