I have a co-worker who typically wears way too much cologne. You can smell the cologne for at least 5 minutes after the guy has left the room. He leaves a cologne trail wherever he goes. Not only is it smelly, it makes my eyes burn and it makes me sneeze like crazy. That said, he's a _really nice_ guy, and I know it would embarrass him terribly if someone addressed him directly and asked him to tone down the cologne.
What is the proper way to handle it? I'm thinking of asking my friend in HR if there is a policy on scents in the office (i.e. no candles, no incense, etc.), and if so, asking her to send a polite email to employees just to reiterate the scent policy. We have more than this one person going a bit overboard with cologne/perfume/strong-smelling lotion/etc. I just notice this person because he's on my team and I work with him daily.
Any ideas?

My church (non-denominational) has started this new thing. On Sunday everyone who is tithing is asked to come up and be prayed for. After then the one's who are paying offerings are asked to come up and be prayed for. To me this is the most rediculus thing I have ever heard of. First off, what a public specticle. Look at me, I am tithing preacher, like me. Then offerings, same thing. So I have decided to take an empty envelope up there just to prove a point. I only pay tithes once a month cause I only get a check once a month.So since I don't have tithes to pay every sunday I guess I don't get prayed for but once a month. How rediculous. I am ready to leave this church. Some one in the church sugessted this since his uncle does this in his church and he has money. What do you think about this den of theives. The leaders of this congregation clains to be people of intregrety but now I am not sure any more. It seems everywhere you go preachers are not to be trusted. I'll just stay home.

log(base d)=6
I know that you have to change it to exponential form like this:
d^6=12
So what number to the 6th equals 12?

supposedly, before god flooded the earth, people lived to be in their 900's. but the skeletal remains of early cro-magnons and the FIRST humans indicate that people lived to be on average in their 20's when they died. you may think, "the remains of the humans that lived 900-1000 years were wiped out in the flood", but things like dinosaurs, etc. were here long before humans EVER existed. what am i missing???

I suck on ice from time to time and I went to take a cube out of the ice tray, and like an idiot, stuck it directly on my tounge. Well, I guess it was too cold because after that, it stuck to my tounge. Without thinking, I just grabbed the cube and pulled hard. Well you can only imagine the pain. It felt like parts of the skin on my tounge had came off along with the ice cube. It really hurts. I looked at my tounge and all I saw was a bit of blood but it feels like the worst tounge burn ever. I ran warm water on my tounge but don't know what else to do, since i've never had anything wrong with my tounge before. Any suggestions on what to try?

I see numerous anti-abortionists state that it is all about personal responsibility. Isn't it then the person who's pregnant person responsibility to make a decision directly affecting her person? When you make the decision for her it becomes group responsibility.
