I smell things no one else can smell. ESPECIALLY when I'm pregnant. The 10 years that Tim and I have been married, Tim has heard me utter the words AT LEAST every other day... "what is that smell?" Sometimes it escalates to "FIND THAT SMELL AND RID MY WORLD OF IT!" And so, playing the "find that smell game" is a regular part of our lives.So yesterday when a smell I had been smelling for a few days started getting stronger, so did my hunt for it. It was a strange smell... like plastic with urine on it, or like a burned vacuum belt (I used to smell that weekly until my life was made better by the DYSON.) Anyway, I narrowed it down to the rec/play room. I opened all the windows (even though it was 40 degrees out) and turned on the ceiling fan... that just made the smell worse. So, I

The State Russian MuseumInzhenernaya str., 4St. Petersburg, Russiawww.rusmuseum.ruWhere is it?Finding the entrance to this mammoth museum is much trickier than finding the toilet, believe it or not.First, to locate the building, head towards the Church of the Savior On Spilled Blood, a majestic onion-domed structure a few blocks from the nearby Hermitage Museum. The Russian Museum is located to the right of that church.To get a general idea of where the museum is (and it's funny that the entrance is this hard to locate because it's a massive building), look for the sprawling Mikhailovsky Gardens, which are across the street from the aforementioned church. The big yellow building at the far end of the gardens is the museum.However the entrance is not there. To get to that, you need to back

I am awakened, as is usual on a weekend, by a prod from Hazel. "Can you open your eyes and see what time it is?" she asks. "Aagh." I moan. "Why do I have to do it?" We are soon both wide awake. Stirring up at the ceiling. "How are you feeling today?" Hazel asks.I take a moment to reply. I make a decision and smile. "Good!" I say. "Today, I'm going to be positive!""Thank god for that" Hazel cries. "I thought you were going to be a moron again, like yesterday."I actually find this kind of comment really refreshing. Sometimes I take myself far too seriously and Hazel is great at knocking me down. So to speak. In fact, Hazel and I are opposites in so many ways. It is true that opposites attract. Hazel is an extrovert, lively in company, sociable and friendly. I'm introverted, quiet and prefer

A world first study of Vietnam veterans' sense of smell has revealed that an inability to identify smells indicates extreme symptoms of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Researchers from the University of Melbourne and Austin Health conducting smell tests on 31 male war veterans with PTSD, recruited from Austin Health's Veterans Psychiatry Unit. "The worse their ability to be able to name a smell, in a smell test of over 40 'scratch and sniff' odors, the harder it is to manage their emotions," said John Dileo of the University's School of Behavioral Science, who conducted the study. Dileo says that the difficulty Vietnam veterans suffering PTSD have in putting the name to a smell may be indicative of weakness in brain pathways related to emotional processing. He says the same areas in

No news is good news, so this press release I was emailed must be bad news.A new survey says most women in the UK do not believe they are seductive. And the rest probably drink too much.51% say they cannot remember the last time they felt in the mood.Well, maybe they don't remember because they are the ones who drink.It was a survey by Lenor Infusions (there's something that will put any women in the mood... a hint that she should do the laundry), and it found that UK women just don't think they have it.Let's look at some UK women...

Female mice can steer clear of inbred males on the basis of their scent alone, according to evidence presented online on April 17th in Current Biology.The researchers found that female mice chose to associate with males producing a greater diversity of major urinary proteins (MUPs), even when all else was held equal. An earlier study by the same team had shown that wild mice also rely on MUPs to recognize and avoid mating with their close relatives. “We conclude that female mice can identify more outbred males by the higher diversity of urinary proteins they produce,” said Michael Thom of the University of Liverpool. “In addition to the multiple signaling roles already identified for MUPs, these proteins may also act as a signal of inbreeding. More outbred animals produce a greater n

Pollutants from power plants and automobiles destroy may be destroying flowers' aromas. This could help explain why some pollinators, particularly bees, are one the decline in certain parts of the world.Researchers created a mathematical model of how the scents of flowers travel with the wind. The scent molecules produced by the flowers readily bond with pollutants such as ozone, which destroys the aromas they produce.According to the researchers, in the early 1800’s, when there was less pollution, the scent molecules produced by flower could travel 3,300 to 4,000 feet. Today, they may only travel 650 to 980 feet.Pollinators are therefore forced to search farther and longer to pick up the hint of a scent, making their work harder and raising the possibility of starvation.

Yesterday I was driving down the road, minding my own business, when suddenly I smelled Egypt! I knew it had to be an olfactory hallucination because there was nothing around to create such a smell. Lilacs, dogwoods, and grass don't smell that way.All of a sudden, I was like a heroin addict who gets a whiff of rubber and starts vividly remembering his last fix. Or a food addict who walks into a carnival who tries to resist the smell of frying elephant ears mingled with carnival sausage. It just makes you jones for the thing you love, you know?Actually, I catch the scent of Egypt about a couple times a year. Sometimes it's a real scent that just reminds me of being there- like being in a hookah bar can take me to the sidewalks of Cairo where old gallabeya dressed men are passing the afterno

The title of this post could be taken two ways. I was temped to simply write BAD in big black letters, but April fools is long gone (thankfully), and fish don't really smell that bad.The sense of smell is extremely important to a fish. It gives them ability to smell out food and in some cases return to the correct breeding location years after leaving "home." The salmonoid family of fishes can detect a certain amino acid in quantities as little as 1 part per 8 billion, which is quite amazing really. This ability means that fish are just as easily put off by smells they are unfamiliar with. The can include the following sunscreen, motor oil and petrol.How do fish smellFish don't have nostrils like mammals, but have a very similar set of holes called nares which lead into a chamber full of s

So I am knocking out this post as I eat a sandwich at my desk and dream of holding these Ninja Bills at bay!Neat report on Yahoo today about new cars that lose their value the quickest. Nothing is a better feeling then driving home in that new car, neighbors saying, "Hey Bob...Nice Car!" no spilled Cheerios in the back...or dog hair (we don't even have a dog either). But all of this is balanced out by one little personal finance fact: Buying a new car is a horrible financial decision!You take 10%+ of the value of the car and flush it for just driving off the lot. And to make it worse, most people finance them...and not great rates. So you are spending current dollars

More intriguing, it could sh

However just because you remove the stains and the cat urine smell, it doesn't get to the heart of the problem. If you don't find out why it is doing it your cat will probably continue with this behaviour Before we get to the clean-up lets try to find out why your cat is doing this. There could be many different reasons why your cat is not using its litter box, and urinating in different places around the house. It may simply be marking its territory, or it may be more serious and be caused by a medical problem. If you suspect the latter then you should take it to a vet for a urinalysis, and an overall

Researchers have recently discovered an olfactory nerve that may be the route through which pheromones are processed. Nerve “O” has endings in the nasal cavity, but the fibers go directly to the sexual regions of the brain, entirely bypassing the olfactory cortex -- Nerve “O” does not register a conscious smell, but identifies chemical sexual cues. The unconscious cues processed by Nerve “O” can make or break a relationship. You are more likely to be attracted to people whose scent is dissimilar to your own. Couples who have high levels of chemicals in common are more likely to encounter fertility issues, miscarriage and infidelity. However, pregnant women are drawn to people with similar chemical makeup. This means that if you are taking a hormonal contraceptive, you might be

Have you experience mildew odor of air that’s coming out from your vehicle A/C vent? If so, then your vehicle A/C system has a drain pan problem, your evaporator drain pan is probably not draining due to a clog somewhere on the drain pan. Evaporator is the main component of the A/C system that makes the air blows cold from you’re A/C vent, the process is that when the A/C is turned on, an air is blown from the blower and passes through the fins of you’re A/C evaporator which then comes out thru you’re A/C vent as cold air. During the process especially on hot and humid days, moisture is formed on the evaporator and drips down to the evaporator drain pan, which then pass through a hose all the way to the streets. When the drain pan does not drain due to clog, the moisture will ge

The smell of fish is something that lingers in the fishing boat, in the kitchen, the pots and pans, in your car, on your hands, in your clothes and anywhere else that is touched by the fish. It is not a pleasant smell for most people. I know there are those that say they grew up thinking that fish was supposed to smell like fish, but most find the lingering odor after the fish is long eaten to be unpleasant. There are many home type remedies that are professed to work. Let me list some here for you to try. 1.) Wash or clean with a solution of vinegar and water. 2.) Wash or clean with a solution of bleach and water. 3.) If it is your refrigerator or freezer, empty it and turn it off. Place a container of boiling hot water with a sliced lemon in it.

Is this Wednesday Wordless?  Well.  Not really.  But at least it will have photos in it…  Back on Monday, March 10th, the always awesome Sweetney showed us her real, first thing in the morning self. That’s right.  Just after waking, no make-up, no hair primpin’ - no nothin’ extra. Can I just say I LOVE a woman who’s not [...]

Getting by on less sleep is something of a badge of honor. I’ve heard people state and sometimes brag about the fact that they only need 4-5 hours of sleep a night. For all of those hardworking people who are holding down two jobs, or are single parents, a lack of sleep is just the [...]

It seems strange to me that I remember so much of my time at my elementary school, and so very little about junior high. We did not call it middle school where I lived. I do not remember that we took a bus for example, though surely we were entitled to, being in excess of one mile, more like two I would think. I do remember a lot of parental driving, both by my father and Patty's mother or father, though I no longer remember which.I cannot recall when Kathy and I parted ways in favor of Patty, a girl my own age. Patty was a blond girl, of normal stature and looks, albeit she had a deformity that was appalling to her throughout her younger years. She was born with one leg longer than the other.

Welcome to Tuesday's Question! And congratulations to the new award recipients of the You Cheer Me Up Award winners underneath this post. What is difficult about using blogger is when you want to do three important posts at once. One covers another, so I'm going to leave Tuesday's Question first for the beginning of the day, and this afternoon I have a few special friends to thank with another award to post. Moving on, I have a nostalgic Tuesday's Question today, but it should be a fun one. What Sound, Smell, Song, Etc, Reminds You of A Happy Moment Or Person? You know when you're driving along the road and hear a song on the radio that reminds you of someone or something that made you happy? Or when you smell a certain perfume or go to a particular place, it evokes a happy memory ?
