Potion Master Posted January 30, 2012 Author Share Posted January 30, 2012 Lady V - you last redeemed at 1,000 posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyVictoria Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Mara I'm sorry I suck at math.. what does that mean. The last time I redeemed was when I had 1000 posts? or 1000 posts ago? I think maybe 1000 posts ago seems about right? What is the accurate amount of posts I have? Where can I find that? Sorry for all the questions Mara. I hope you had a nice nap!

Potion Master Posted January 31, 2012 Author Share Posted January 31, 2012 LOL! It's important that you guys know how much we value each of you as a member of the community and how helpful it is for us when you post reviews. A lot of potential customers who are not forum members read the reviews, and your opinions, both positive and negative, help them decide what to order. So we're just giving back a little for your help..like a sales commission. Plus, sharing your life and experiences with us in this forum? It makes life worth living. I'm madly in love with you all and feel extremely blessed to be a small part of your lives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ElizabethOSP Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Ooh can you make me some Thai food? Or some pot pie? Heeee! Mr. Matt could probably whip up some Thai. Either one of us could definitely do pot pie. I do meeeeean fresh pastas, and we both do great sauces. Plus, I am the heir to my Dad's martini recipe. Heh.

ElizabethOSP Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 (edited) You know, liz, I am a martini snob after growing up with my Dad. I just can't call anything a martini if it has fruit stuff in it. Well, aside from olives! I think Daddy's recipe is a WWII thing, because one of Mr. Matt's uncles made his martinis for us about 18 years ago, and it was the same recipe. Uncle Frank made his by the pitcher, and my Dad made his by the glass. I go by the glass. It's just a jigger (big) of your favorite gin, a half-cap (using a small bottle) of white vermouth (we usually use Martini & Rossi), 2 drops of spanish olive brine, and a spanish olive. With ice. Of course, if you want it DRY, the vermouth part has to be altered. You pick up the vermouth bottle, keep it *across the room* from the gin and all, and SHOW it to the martini. Heh. I do dry sometimes. Our friend Wayne, who is the same generation, uses onions instead of olives in his martinis, and I love his, too. The folks who are in their 80s-into-their-90s really knew how to party. They taught me well! Heeeeeee!!! P.S. So I call the family recipe the James M. Saulsbury Memorial Martini.

liz Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Fruit ? ABSOLUTELY NOT !! I like 'em dry, BUT Vodka is my choice, 3 olives (sometimes stuffed w/feta or bleu cheese) Cheers to Dad ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My old buddy Kevin McCarthy would always order a Martini with a packet of oyster crackers on the side, which I thought was hysterical because the bartenders always had to check..."Excuse me, did you say Oyster Crackers?!" Anyway, I tried a taste of one once and it was SOOO STRONG I couldn't swallow it. Yowza! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luna65 Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 It's important that you guys know how much we value each of you as a member of the community and how helpful it is for us when you post reviews. A lot of potential customers who are not forum members read the reviews, and your opinions, both positive and negative, help them decide what to order. I wanted to comment, as a member of the Team, on this aspect of posting. Very few communities will actually reward you for providing good quality content in regards to posting and I know we're all grateful to Mara for doing just that, but I cannot stress enough to everyone on the board how important it is to have those reviews, not only for new members, but anyone considering a particular scent, because it's difficult to consider such a purchase in a vacuum, as it were. So I encourage everyone to post reviews - even if you don't think you're any good at describing scents - because the more someone knows about a scent - even just knowing whether people like it or not - is so essential to the experience. Especially the guys who have joined, even if you don't post regularly, even if discussing a scent seems kind of strange to you, your feedback is valuable. Reviews should really be the heart of the community, because that's the reason we're all here, whether it's for the fragrances, the pheros, or both. And we want to support Mara in her endeavors so we can continue to enjoy her generosity and her genius. When you earn those credits with good quality content you fully absolutely deserve a reward!

Anyway, I tried a taste of one once and it was SOOO STRONG I couldn't swallow it. Yowza! Now, THAT'S what I'm TALKIN' about!!! Ladies, these martinis of which we speak are the REAL ones. I do not eschew fruits and alcohols--I certainly consume enough of them together--I just can't call 'em martinis. Martinis need to put HAIR on your CHEST!!! Or wait.

YEAH. What you said! It is seldom that I *don't* consult reviews when buying a bottle. All the experiences and conclusions of our community are utterly valuable. Think I'll go post a review, too.

Toronto Sol Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Ditto. At the very least I do compare/contrasts on potential purchases every time.

Princess Fiona Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 The forum is what led me to order from LP! I would have never placed my first order if it wasn't for reading the forum. now I'm a fellow addict. But also the freebies in the orders always lead me to new scents and more purchases.

A classic martini like I grew up with that my dad always drank. My dad had a friend who told the story of how he made the ultimate dry martini. Back in the days of above ground nuclear testing he attached a bottle of vermouth to the framework holding the device. After it detonated he waved the glass with the gin in it out in the air. BUT Vodka is my choice, Mine too. I keep a couple bottle in the freezer. Martinis need to put HAIR on your CHEST!!! Or wait. Spikes on our nipples, perhaps...? Whichever ...
