    The little toe pads of my two pugs used to smell more like popcorn than Fritos....my daughters pointed this out to me originally. "Mommy, mommy!! Kinky and Sukey's paws smell like popcorn, check it out!" It was true.

    Kipling wrote some great poems and one line from one of his poems really stands out and screams to heard in this thread.

    "Smells are surer than sight or sound to make the heart-strings crack"

    So true


    Courage does not always roar. Sometimes, it is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying,
    "I will try again tomorrow".

    Very good quote and so true. I was thinking about this thread yesterday. Our receptionist at work is an older woman (late 50's or early 60's) and a heavy smoker, she wears too much Beautiful by Estee Lauder perfume. My Nanny switched to Beautiful when I was in 4th or 5th grade and is a heavy smoker. I don't smell the smoke on her, but she has a distinct smell from the combination of her perfume and smoke. Yesterday, after talking to our receptionist, I was fondly reminded of my Nanny and made a note to call her after work. It is funny how our receptionist's habit I hate combines with her perfume in the same way and makes her smell so comforting. I think it is probably overwhelming for most of our co-workers, but it makes me feel good.
