We're having extremely nice weather here, it's almost too hot.

It's also nice enough for a giant black ant to be checking out the house exterior . . . and nice enough for a little lizard to come sit in the sun, and on noticing an ant crawl towards it, run in the opposite direction.

So, baby lizard wasn't secretly stalking, and is scared of things that move, even if the thing moving is three times smaller. I was surprised.

Well, there are also some things that you're better off not smelling :tonguewink:


That's a question I have. Can stinky people smell themselves and how much they stink? Lol.

I hear about people not taking showers.. so I wonder if only the smell effects other people.

I am sorry to hear that as well, Squeakers. It seems that ill fortune has had it out for you quite a bit as of late. :(

But know that all of us here have your back. :)

Yeah...story of my life. Any time I seem to be real happy with life, something else breaks down or goes wrong. I'm getting sick and tired of it....

Depends if they naturally have an odor coming from them or if they stink because they haven't washed I think. Sometimes a person's diet will cause them to stink more than others, sometimes genetics. If it's in their genetics to have strong b.o. all the time they are more likely not to notice, or if it's their diet.

When I don't wash or put on deoderant for even a day I stink and notice it. But if I eat, say, onions I will stink of onions and not notice it.

That's so strange.

So the food you eat reeks all day? How far away can you smell people?

Only certain foods. There's not many. Foods like onion, garlic, curry. I don't know if they actually come out of your sweat glands or not, I think so though. In either case the smell definately stays with you.

If you get in a car with someone they can typically know if you ate 1 of those 3 things.

I've been following this Manchester news too long, need to go watch some funny videos or something.

Yeah pretty heavy stuff.

I didn't even hear about it until I got in bed and started browsing Reddit before I sleep.

Depends on the person and their cologne/hygiene preferences lol.

Oh. So cologne is used to mask smells?

Sometimes I worry that I never use cologne. Lol.. Just see no point in buying something that I can't even smell myself. You'd think people would evolve to respond better to natural body odors or something.. lol.

Not sure if I'm even making any sense, lol.

One time at work I ripped open a garbage bag and dumped the beer cans into the can counting machine. It actually smelled like cologne. If it was cologne, then that would have to be a rather expensive way to mask the odor.

Yeah, I've heard about onion and garlic.

I remember one time in science class we had a bowl full of pick juice or something and people were daring each other to sniff it. Everyone could only sniff it for like half a second then screamed in pain or whatever bad smells do to you. I just went up and kept on sniffing it for like 20 seconds and everyone was like "whoa".

Maybe it was good smelling Axe or Old Spice?

Lol well I got in bed at about 01:30 but I'm still awake listening to baseball and browsing Reddit.

Ah, makes sense considering you are still on CF as well. What are you listening to, I guess the Reds game?

It's almost here.

It can't come soon enough. I'm lost without it lol.

I should sleep soon though so I'm awake to hear the courier tomorrow. They have a habit of leaving things outside of you don't answer the door or throwing it over the fence. If they leave my headphones outside I'm going to lose my mind.
