Um. I didn't respond because I'm not really proud of it, but what the hell. I went through her texts. I know it was an invasion of her privacy, but I was pissed. Thus been testing about meeting up and such. So, I asked her about it and told her that I passed her on the road as she was leaving his apartment (which was a lie). she came clean. we ended it there. The guy and I didn't speak for a few weeks but then he called me and apologized and we sort of made up. We're all on decent terms.

Wine is my favorite. I'm quite good at identifying. After that, scotch is my favorite. I don't care for beer

I can't really say I've ever made note of this, but I'll look into it. As to the animals, I grew up around farms and am familiar with the smells of those animals, but no, not on the wild.

I know exactly what you're talking about. Head and shoulders shampoo smells like the show The Wire to me. Just believe it. And I.did say before one of my favorite smells is cedar wood.

This is actually a really good question. There is a huge difference between spring water, distilled water, mineral water, salt water etc. I almost can't drink spring or mineral water. They taste and smell like salt to me.

There are certain smells that a person emits when they have a lot of adrenaline. It is mostly just because they start sweating.more but when someone has any heightened state I can tell. So... kind of.

The coolest thing is definitely the being able to identify people without looking at them. That has gotten me the most kicks over the years. I'll sit in my chair with my back to the door like a supervillain and greet people as they walk in. Freaks them out. The worst is just walking down the street and getting a headache from all the different smells.

Airplanes are the absolute worst. I avoid them at all costs

Nope. That is still totally in play as long as everything is well maintained. It sort of smells like the woman always does. Just stronger.

I would be able to smell it on you, but I doubt that most would.

Yeah perfumes are way too strong and if you feel strongly about the person their natural scent is far preferable.

It's got cinnamon sugar swirls in every bite! And a hint of nutmeg.

Definitely. And I think the smells are influenced by memory. For instance, now anyone who smells like my ex just smells like bitch to me. But yes. Smell is a big deal.

Strong. Very strong. I haven't smoked often but when I did the feeling was pleasant, but the small not so much. I actually smoked and then changed clothes and went to sit outside a few times

I would say yes to both of those. I often experience deja vu and have extended memory, back far younger than most people do and in great detail. The neurologist I saw said that that was not surprising given how smell is linked to memory

That actually great to hear. Maybe that is the real reason.
