How often do you burn Incense?

HOLY CARP!!!
snip from dictionary.com

Incense, perfume diffused by the burning of aromatic gums or spices.
Incense was used in ancient Egypt, Greece, and Rome and is mentioned in the Old and the New Testaments.
It is also found in the major religions of Asia.
The Babylonians used it while praying in the 6th and 5th cent. B.C. and the Greeks used it as protection against demons during the 8th cent. B.C.
The earliest clear record of its use in public worship in the Roman Catholic Church is c.500.

Sometimes I like a little in the background when practicing piano.
But I'll burn in in the next room so it's not too strong.

Here are my two favorites, from India and China.

We used to burn it all the time.

Hmmm, maybe I will go get some.

I like it.

It sort of puts you in a slowed down state of mind, like a small glass of wine.
I can understand why it is used in religions.

(Just watch, now someone is going to interpret that as religion hating.) :doh:

4 or 5 days a week, so I said weekly.

I have two packs of that Nag, kenny. I also have some samples of the SuperHit Nag.

Maybe I'll burn some right now.
And how are you today?

I've got some really nice lavender stuff, from Japan. I burn it about once a month... I've also got some iris scented tea lights that smell really really good. :thumb:
