Why marketers are destined for the first bus to hell, reason #4,263:
Oh, where to begin! Where? There's just so much here. Aromazing? Seriously? AROMA-ZING?
First, is that a word? At all? Ever?
Second, if it is, isn't that just an advertiser's perverse, backward way of telling you that it will make your hair stink?
Third, "time to SPA?" Spa?! At what point did "spa" become a verb? Apparently, our marketing manager used to work in consulting, turning normal, everyday nouns into verbs, like "teaming."
Finally, "sharp" shower gel? Sharp is not an adjective that I would want or expect to be associated with a gel, showers, bathing and/or, nudity in general.
This really made me glad to be bald.

Hi Jimbo,
I saw an old post by you back in 2003 about your grand father passing and wanted to get in touch with you. Tuleo Lanna was my grandfather as well. I have had absolutelty no contact with anyone from this side of the family for near 32 years. My name is Victor Lanna and I am the son of Thomas Joseph Lanna. When my dad passed away, the Lanna side of the family disowned us. I am now nearing 40 yrs old and would like very much to have contact with some of my family. My brother Tom will be trying to contact you as well. I would love the oppotunity to talk with you and find out more of my heritage if you would consider this. I can be reached at vlanna@att.net or if you wish to call I live in Oregon now and my number is 503 799 4261.

First, yes "spa" is a verb. If you spa, then you know it is a verb. You being so metro should know that.
Second, hello to Victor above. Your Lanna side of the famly is split between Florida, Texas, California and New York. Most of the Lannas of our generation are here in Florida. Feel free to contact me as well...I am the third child in this family and, undoubtedly, was the closet to Tuleo Lanna of all of the grandchildren.
