It's funny how you don't even notice the smells anymore.

It's not that you don't notice the smell anymore, it's that it doesn't register in your brain as a "bad" smell, like skunk, or rancid meat/veggies.
It will register in your brain if you smell that aroma somewhere else, and it will trigger a memory, probably of a very large fish!

Isn't the human brain a wonderful thing?

ohhh, i NOTICED, allright,,,,,,,,,,,i was just playing coy with her and my daughter and, truly, the brain IS amazingly and wonderfully made; isn't it ironic how smells link to memory and how one schnozz's idea of stench is another schnozz's idea of nirvana?

between man and nature shall not be broken."~~ Leo Tolstoy

Tight Lines, and
Happy Hunting to ALL!

very true

the olfactory sense is way way under rated

it's actually our keenest sense.

and can send you down memory lane faster than a time machine.

That's what I've always heard. Must be pretty cool. Unfortunately for me, my olfactory never opened for buisiness. Of all the senses to be without, I guess it's the best one. Beats being blind for sure...

Downside is, I got to change a LOT of dirty diapers when my kids were younger.
