scent of sadness

of spraymount or have I just mentally conjured up the smell of spraymount
because I'm down. Either way I've got both. 270604blogupdate.

I did not find the word in my dictionary.
Hmmm, would have liked to put myself in your mocassins,
but can't even guess WHAT you smell.
The other thing, sadness, hmmm, yah, can guess how that
FEELS.
Is it better now? Hopefully it is.
Wish you all the best,

Spray Mount is a spray on glue used in pasting up artwork for presentations
and mock-ups.

I think what it brings forth in my mind is a kind of nostalgia - like the
smell of darkrooms and possibly even clay. I don't know what scent would
make you feel nostalgic. Something from your past that you miss or you
disliked?
Anyway, it's all gone away now. But it was weird that I could smell it
without it being in the air. And I wondered if I had brought it to mind
because I was sad or the other way around - I didn't think I was sad at the
time.
For the first time in my life (that I can recently recall) I actually smelt
something in my dream last night. I can't remember what it was but I
remember thinking to myself "hey, I've never smelt anything in a dream
before this is strange" whilst I was still dreaming.

one of "Uhu" glue I have used since my childhood.
Intense chemical but very typical smell ;-)
Yah, smells are among our most intense sensations.
Most of the time we just don't realize that mechanism,
but sometimes a smell is so strong that we are aware
of it. Hmmmm, even in our dreams ;-)
Hmmmmm, I have just come home from a cycling tour
along the river and we got into a rain shower.
Then decided for the right direction to flee the rain.
The smell of the wet asphalt was terrific :-)
And there were a few other smells in the air - wooden
logs that emitted a wonderful aroma, the flowers and grass
on the wayside....it was really beautiful and those
smells intensified or created by the rain made the trip
really special. Hehe, and now I'm smelly, must get a shower ;-)
Be fine then!

Actually, at the moment all I can smell... if you'll forgive me bringing
this up after such a poetic post... is the smell of cat poo wafting across
the room. At last! After three days and 18x3ml of lactulose, our cat
"Pickles" (Squirrelname: Furry Furryface) has gone to the toilet and we can
relax for another three days. I think we're all relieved. [she's not been
well as can be determined by the vets bills lately and if she can't keep
herself regular she's not going to get another op so we're now on stool
watch for the rest of her life].
Back to your post. I love it when it rains and I love the smell of mown
grass. Yummy. It's great you can be so active after your op.

Hmmm, leather, beer and cigarette smoke ..... a mix of scents that always
lead me to the wrong guys. Now I
avoid that strong cocktail of fragrances ;-) and prefer
a better one:
the smell of skin in the evening after having been exposed
to the sun and the weather all day ....... a wonderful
fragrance :-)
The former makes me sad, the latter should make me happy.
But recently I associate it with all the zeroes turning
up in my mailbox. Dunno why. I am a melancholic goat :-(

I'm about to go swimming... I don't like to do this so I'm having to gird my
whatnots. One thing that I _do_ like about the whole swimming experience is
the smell of my skin after I've dried off. All kind of bleachy and clean
smelling like some kind of surgically decontaminated specimen. It's probably
not good for me.

Zeroes in your mailbox? But isn't that better than spammy junk mail? Who's
not writing to you? If you want mail why not send mail - send off for all
kinds of things.
irl I tend to only get bills - and even they aren't for anything exciting
like "a life sized sculpture of your loved one in chocolate". Only gas,
phone, water... Oddly I haven't had to pay any electricity bills for what
seems like years - every time the bill comes in it tells me I'm about £150
in credit... I don't see how this can be the case 'cause I don't have a
direct debit with them, and I haven't sent them a check for, well, years.
And yet I'm using electricity all the time - even as I type this. I don't
think I'll move from this house it has a worm hole for electricity to enter
my mains from another dimension.

This topic came up once before (at least). I thought of just barging into
this thread with a two-word reply, "Horse Dung", but then I thought this
might be misinterpreted. So ....

Yeah, I used to like the smell of playdoh too - my mum wouldn't buy us the
stuff because it was too expensive and plastocene was cheaper...
But not much beats the smell of a newly laid carpet. As I said before. But
I'm happy to say it whenever anyone asks... in fact even when they don't
ask.
What's chorizo? and is it pronounced korizo or chorizo?
OB
> What's chorizo? and is it pronounced korizo or chorizo?
Hard reddish spicy sausage. Pronunciation in Castilian Spanish
"cho-ree-thoe", in all other dialects "cho-ree-so". The best chorizo
comes from Cantimpalos, a village in the province of Segovia. Spanish
has about as many "chorizo" jokes as Eng has elephant jokes. E.g.:
"What type of land are chorizo factories built on?"
"Chorizontal".
Well, I didn't say they were funny.
In colloquial Spanish the same word is also used for a thief, hence
vb. "chorizar", to steal, pinch.
