I too was weirded out by the email when I first ordered from “The Purple People”- then realizing it was some sort of template confirmation, but weirder than that -

I actually received a phone call from the “Sister” that works for the Reverend when an item I ordered was out of stock on a very recent order I had placed !!

I was just glad I used my office phone number and not my home or cell!!! I do suppose the strange greeting of “blessed be you today Miss Dee”, and the “Sister”repeatedly talking about herself in the third person was unsual; but not unusual enough to not return the call-

But to be honest, that was better customer service than any other place I order from online- usually you just get yr. order and they note that it was backordered on the invoice,

Just thought that it was funny the email weirded out other patrons of this shop as well!!

Between the Nigerians and the people offering me enhancement products, I would have just deleted this one. It would make it even easier if the Nigerians started selling enhancement products - but that's another story. I had to comment on a comment: "eau de catbox" gave me a good chuckle.

Michelle:

I love the smell of frankincense. It’s very earthy and sort of musky. In the past I’ve used either the fragrance or the essential oil. I put 3-4 drops mixed with about 20 drops of water and heat it in my oil warmer with tea light candles. Mmmn it’s great.

If you like the smell you may find that it’s relaxing. I used to burn it at night before going to bed. As a matter of fact, after reading this post I pulled out my accouterments and am now luxuriating in their fragrance.

If you don’t like the way your frankincense smells shoot me a line and I’ll give you my inside source for essential oils and everything aromatherapish. Chanya’s last blog post..Getting Links: Sniffing Out .Edu Comment links

Wow, talk about a freaky moment…until you read the rest of the email. As a matter of practice, I generally at least scroll through even those fake emails before deleting them for this very reason, you never know when something may be not a junk-mail message!

@Emma: I don’t know what it smells like either, but it could smell like eau de catbox and I wouldn’t care. As long as it creates that nice chill-out vibe…

That’s funny! I’m not sure what frankincense actually smells like, but when people around you ask what that smell is, just tell them it’s your cloak of wisdom. One time I almost ordered this stuff called Liquid Trust but I’m not sure if it would work or if I’d want it too.
