I'm sitting here watching the LSU and Auburn game from 1988 but the smells are still the same. The dressing, the cherry pie, and the ham finishing up in the oven. The rolls sitting on the cabinet. The scented candle w/it's red glow and sweet smell. Ever since I was a young boy those are my favorite smells. I'm so glad we live in a country that celebrates Thanksgiving because we truly do have a lot to be thankful for. powdr

I remember my first whiff of a full on yeast infection in gal's snatch, fall of '84. I'm still scarred.

I thank you for the kind words.
Funny, almost 50 years ago now, and it still never goes away.
Vivid nightmares, smells that bring back memory's, alarms setting off as I go through metal detectors, ect., ect.. At 71, now I kind of doubt things are change much in the time I have.
The boys I feel sorry for are our soldiers fighting the irregulars in the Mts. of Afghanistan. They just have no way of knowing who is who.
Respects,
Richard

The smell of the springtime prairie when you're laying in the grass with the first girl you've ever kissed.
