[stylist] Smell

[Atty Rose]

I have an incredibly sensative nose . Just before I read Chris's comments I 
was thinking about smell and how much I miss it, since I have a cold. A 
rather brutal one. I haven't had one for nearly two years and this one crept 
in and kicked me in the head after a stressful couple of incidence that 
compremised my amune system. I think I'm near the end of it, but I am so 
missing my smell! I inherited it from my grandmother I think. She had one 
amazing nose also.

Sometimes it is like being slapped in the face, certain smells, but I 
wouldn't trade it.

Though standing by someone with bad breath can really ruin a conversation. 
LOL
Health to us all,
Atty
