Compliant jellies: Stop whatever you're doing for a moment & sniff the air immediately around you, what is the dominant aroma?

I can only smell scented candles at the moment, the wife has so many about the place it’s turning into a shrine for wax.

There is none.

I have lasagna in the oven. I can smell that. I went pretty hard with the garlic.

Recently cut grass. (Neighbor just did his lawn.)

Wood smoke. I am in Northern California.

Coffee, delicious beautiful coffee.

Smoke from the fires to the North- faint but distinguishable.

@KNOWITALL Gorgeous, you’re making me high :D

@ucme Fun fact to make you giggle:

Kopi luwak is made from coffee beans plucked from civets’ feces. This is bad news for civets. It’s the world’s most expensive coffee, and it’s made from poop. Or rather, it’s made from coffee beans that are partially digested and then pooped out by the civet, a catlike creature.

Right out of The Bucket List @KNOWITALL!

@KNOWITALL You have to be shitting me :D

Morgan Freeman esplains

Why is it bad news for the civets @KNOWITALL? They don’t kill them to get to the poop.

I see why: ”Civet dung, studded with partially digested coffee beans, used to be collected from the wild. Increasingly, civets are instead kept in cramped, unsanitary cages on coffee plantations.” :(

@Dutchess_III And some of them only get a certain food, so the coffee is better. You know, kind of like puppy mills, someone’s going to abuse them. (sigh…I hate people)

Lavender, and beef ribs.

I hate greedy people too @KNOWITALL.

Smoke. :(

cat litter

A burnt grilled cheese sandwich.

It was still good.

I hate fragrances. There’s no smell that I’m aware of where I am, and that’s what I prefer!

A fart that nobody is taking responsibility for. The dog is not denying it.

The salmon I baked for dinner

Now it’s the incense I’m burning to cover up the smell of baked salmon

@KNOWITALL i have heard of that but thought it was a really bad joke

Cupcakes! I just brought some home from work for my sick son. He was craving sweets.

The smell of earth. It is raining heavily here.

@SEKA No, abuse of animals is rarely a joke in our world, wish it was. :(

In order to satisfy the global demand, “civet poop coffee” is rarely sourced from the wild; it has become an industrialized product. Wild civets are instead held captive and force-fed coffee cherries to produce an estimated 500 tons of this “farmed” product annually.

I cannot smell

@ARE_you_kidding_me Really? Why is that?

Lost most of my sense of smell after a bad sinus infection. Thankfully it was that and not cancer.

@ARE_you_kidding_me Interesting. I used to get sinus infections a lot but I didn’t know that was a possibility.

@ARE_you_kidding_me – Has that changed your ability to taste food?

Slightly but not as much as I would have thought.
It was right after the infection and it was so attenuated that I went to a specialist. They ruled out brain cancer first to be safe. He told me this is common, 2 or 3 out of a hundred bad sinus infections on average damage the nerves that relay smell and they cannot grow back.

That reminds me of one of James Herriot’s stories. There was this dog with a horrible, horrible farting problem. No one would keep him because he’d run them out of the house. Until this one guy. This one guy just loved the dog. The room would be filling up with foul, noxious gas. Everyone would be running out the door….except this one guy. He’d just carry on petting the dog, or whatever. He didn’t run.
Turns out he’d lost his sense of smell at some point. :D
There is someone for everyone.

Peanut butter. I just ate a PB sammich.

Well, since there is a hot cup of coffee right under my nose…................

DOG POOTS!!! :(
