Comments: Oh my God, we're old!

I know that "old house smell" very well. I think it seeps into the plaster. I've also wondered its source. It triggers memories in me too. Funny how smells match memories with feelings attached. The feelings pull burried memories to the surface. Is that why I have such a sensitive nose? Lots of feelings burried down deep ready for examination? Are airborne allergies something to be grateful for? (Do they help me clean out old junky memories?)

Well, if we believe that we should be grateful for both the good, and the bad, I guess we should. :-)

Actually, someone once told me that those of us who do have an exceptionally strong sence of smell are like the canaries which miners would let lose in the mines to check the air. Maybe people aught to pay close attention to us.

Of course, there is the posibility that our sense of smell is just screwed up! :-/

I think for me it is just another signal to get rid of the clutter ... and maybe the carpet!
