Capt. Sterling Posted February 16, 2007 Posted February 16, 2007 Jet fuel? Yer right, Cat, yer weird! Walking into a tack room and smelling leather and horse. Heaven! Leather aye, that I can agree to, but can you actually still smell the horse scent? I can't any more...just so used to it...

Red Cat Jenny Posted February 16, 2007 Posted February 16, 2007 Oh Jenny that reminds me of when I was dating an amateur race car driver. There is something about that petroleum fuel & rubber combo that smells good. There ya go!!!! Immersion!!!! Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help....

Patrick Hand Posted February 16, 2007 Posted February 16, 2007 This is not favorite smells..... but smells that are stinky, but bring back memorys..... can you actually still smell the horse scent? I can't any more...just so used to it... Not horses.... but when I got out of the Army, I worked at a feed store..... after a while.... you didn't notice the smell..... last time I visted the place, I was supprised at how badly it stank..... but the smell of bags of dog food, or feed will bring back memorys of the place........ My boss has/had ( well I don't have to deal with them sence I moved) some horses.... I didn't really notice thier smell.... (but don't get me wrong.... I am Not a horse person..... I just fead them, and caught them when they got loose..... )... I'd rather walk than have to mess with horses......
CrazyCholeBlack Posted February 16, 2007 Posted February 16, 2007 too true Mr. Hand. Certain things bring back memories even if they aren't "good" smells. For me it's pigs. Nasty & smelly, but there was 1 pig farm up the road & I could always tell when we were near home because of the smell. Very different from the cows & horses everyone else's place smelled like "If part of the goods be plundered by a pirate the proprietor or shipmaster is not entitled to any contribution."

jessie k. Posted February 16, 2007 Posted February 16, 2007 We used to feed our horses this supplement that have mixed grains and molasses in it...it smelled so good that I was tempted to try it myself! Our neighbors had a hog farm, and when the wind was right, we had to make sure there was no laundry on the line. Pungent.

Caraccioli Posted February 16, 2007 Posted February 16, 2007 But when I arrive at JFK the smell of aircraft burning fuel is like a rush of excitement and the whole process. Those who work at one understand. I don't work at one, but I completely understand. "You're supposed to be dead!" "Am I not?"
Ransom Posted February 16, 2007 Posted February 16, 2007 Jet fuel? Yer right, Cat, yer weird! Walking into a tack room and smelling leather and horse. Heaven! Leather aye, that I can agree to, but can you actually still smell the horse scent? I can't any more...just so used to it... Oh yeah, I can still smell the horses. I might clarify that our "tack room" is the one in our four-horse trailer, so maybe it concintrates the smell more than a regular room for tack. But, I also love the sweaty smell horses get after being ridden, or playing out in the paddock during the summer. Guess ya gotta be a horse person to like that sort of thing. ...schooners, islands, and maroons and buccaneers and buried gold...

Red Cat Jenny Posted February 17, 2007 Posted February 17, 2007 The leaves of tomato plants or mint in my garden. Ahhh summer on the brain.

blackjohn Posted February 17, 2007 Posted February 17, 2007 Whoa! Thanks! That conjures up memories! When I was a kid, I used to cut my grandfather's grass once a week. There was a spot along the fence where someone must've planted mint at one time, and some must've still grown there low in the grass, because whenever I ran over that spot, the air filled with the smell of spearmint. Amazing. My Home on the Web The Pirate Brethren Gallery Dreams are the glue that holds reality together.

Arthur Richards from Kent Posted February 21, 2007 Posted February 21, 2007 I didn't go back and read all the answers but it has to be the smell of your loved one when she wakes up in the morning.... Ahhhhhhhhhhhh Touch somebody you don't know today with a smile.

Caraccioli Posted February 25, 2007 Posted February 25, 2007 French triple milled soap...another scent reminicent of vacations.. Actually, that reminds me of the Frangipani-scented soap (made by Key West Aloe) they always had at in my favorite place to stay in Key West. Alas, the sold the place out and turned it into condos. I understand the urge, but I sort of miss the place... (I didn't actually use the soap because it was perfumed, but I'd unwrap it anyhow - mainly for the scent. It was a vacation smell...)

Jacky Tar Posted February 26, 2007 Posted February 26, 2007 ^ Very funny! Use t' make noises on the kids tummies, when they were little; always good fer a giggle. Love the smell o' peach pie bakin' in the oven.
blackjohn Posted February 26, 2007 Posted February 26, 2007 the smell of cinnabons... I could stand there in front of the cinnabon shop for hours just taking in that wonderful smell... My Home on the Web The Pirate Brethren Gallery Dreams are the glue that holds reality together.
Red Cat Jenny Posted February 26, 2007 Posted February 26, 2007 Love the smell o' peach pie bakin' in the oven. Aye they were fun! MM peach...save me a slice?

Jacky Tar Posted February 26, 2007 Posted February 26, 2007 the smell of cinnabons... I could stand there in front of the cinnabon shop for hours just taking in that wonderful smell... (Jacky turns blackjohn away from the Cinnabons store, and points t' a Bowflex store in the mall.) Cinnamon does smell great. I like the smell o' hot cider wit' a cinnamon stick in it.
blackjohn Posted February 26, 2007 Posted February 26, 2007 That's funny. I rewrote that at least twice, taking out the "they are like what, a million calories" part. C'mon over Jacky, and I'll make you a hot buttered rum with apple cider and a cinnamon stick. My Home on the Web The Pirate Brethren Gallery Dreams are the glue that holds reality together.
Lady Alyx Posted February 26, 2007 Posted February 26, 2007 Okay...I am taking a big stretch on this topic of scents and smells...to one of the garden and natural pesticides. I heard that peppermint oil keeps the rodent family away. Recently the cute and cuddly little squirrels that I adored so much have become horrible little mauraders. They dug up every single spring bulb I planted and ate them or destroyed them. They ate my cyclamen flowers and my last african daisy flower. Arrrrrh. I watched a bit of that informercial with the gent that has that book with 1001 natural pesticides and he mentioned the above. This weekend I bought 100% peppermint oil and doused a couple of peanuts in it for bait plus sprinkled some around my potted plants that they keep getting into. Has anyone ever tried it? Will let you know how my own experiment goes if you want to know. So sorry for straying from topic...but these little buggers must be vanquished! lol ~~~~Sailing Westward Bound~~~~ Lady Alyx
Caraccioli Posted February 27, 2007 Posted February 27, 2007 You have squirrel pirates! You should be proud. "Aye, lads. We'll take tha' garden amidships and fight to the last man if'n it be the last act we commit. Arrr." (Did I just write in movie pirate?) "You're supposed to be dead!" "Am I not?"
