I love anything with the smell of Vanilla
I don't wear much perfume, but I love Vanilla Fields.
Love the smell of outside drying sm
Nothing better than sheets off the line, however, most newer people in the neighborhood frown on clotheslines so we go along to get along. If you live in a plat of newer homes this may be in your purchase and sales agreement - no clothes lines, etc. I sometimes will hang out seasonal items just for the day on my deck and get remarks like, "Haven't you heard of a dryer?" I really miss the smell of clean, air-drying but use the dryer with dryer sheets - not the same. Just the feel of fresh air sheets makes me sleepy, I miss that smell, nothing like it. Yes, the towels are a little rough on the line but you can use a soap with softener built in. Where I go to the beach in the summer, everyone hangs out their wash and it dries in an hour. Guess I'm old fashioned. Have to go by the current rules, some don't know what they're missing. We have a leash law so never let pets out loose, one got away one day and got hit by a car, so we are extra careful not to let our dog near the front door as you never know. Rules, rules, but things are not the same - the world is getting more and more crowded so we have to go with the flow. In the newer developments they are not even making sidewalks, so there's no place to walk, geez!
Me too..I love the smell...remember the "pearl" it used to have in it? (sm)
a looong time ago? but then I also remember a few of the sodas that had cork under the bottlecap. And I'm only 40. Things sure have changed a lot!
I love the smell of a gravel road...sm
I think foreigners/men with accents are sexy....
I was valedictorian and voted most likely to succeed...now I'm a SAHM who does transcription to supplement our income. I wouldn't trade a single moment with my kids for the most successful position in the world...
My favorite guilty pleasure is watching stupid movies with hot guys (like Spring Break Shark Attack).
My Grandson
xx
my 6-year-old grandson
There is nothing wrong with your son and he doesn't need anxiety medication. This is a normal part of his growing up, and I discussed this with my grandson's pediatrician. At this age they hear so much, especially when people talk, on the TV, mention of it even in commercials, and they love their family so much that they do not want anything to happen to them. They have a fear of something they don't understand, and want to know that the safety and security they know and love in their family will not be taken away from them. He may have overhead something that even you are not aware of, and their little minds can pick up on anything. I had a talk with my grandson and explained some things about dying that he could understand (he even worries about his teacher dying). We didn't make much of this, and were not serious about it, so he thought it was normal. We try to answer his questions about this seriously and reassure him. At this age they also have nightmares and are changing so much and taking in so much in their daily lives. They are transitioning from a little child into a more self-assured and somewhat independent young man or young lady. My grandson crept into bed each night with his Mom, and has had reassurance from that. The pediatrician says not to make too much of it and it will pass, and also not to expose them to too much on the TV, but replace that with healthy programs and reading books and playing games with them. Also some video games are inappropriate, as they have too much violence and fighting. Before he goes to bed at night just read something happy and have a quiet time with him. Play some soothing music in the room, or have a night light on, and talk to him before he goes to sleep. Also, ask him if there is anything bothering him that you could help him with. Since you mentioned Sunday School, have you ever mentioned that he is protected by his angels and is never alone?
Was out with 3 yo grandson at 6:30 a.m. playing!!
Not really a snow lover myself anymore, but it sure was fun to watch his excitement. He even got old ski poles out of the barn and was skiing the imaginary slopes, swooosh! Of course mamaw had to be right there along with him!
This happened to my grandson
First, I would talk with the parents of the young girl your son was kind enough to lend his game to. Obviously, this young girl will not divulge having the game for obvious reasons, and in this age group this happens often. I would also not point an accusing finger, but simply state what happened and perhaps the parent could help the daughter look through her room to find it. Nothing may come of this, but at least the child now knows you are aware of what happened.
This happened to my grandson also. My daughter drives a school bus and my grandson took his DS game on the bus and placed it in a safe place in the front by the driver's area on the bus, or so he thought. When they came home that afternoon my grandson looked for his game and it was not where he had placed it. Someone had gone into the area where my daughter places her purse and other things for safekeeping and the DS game was no longer there.
They told the principal of the school about the incident, as it was a theft, and guess what, the principal refused to do anything about it, and none of the children on the bus were even asked if they had seen it seen. My daughter even asked the kids on the bus if they could help my grandson look for it, or maybe they had seen it, not accusing of course. Well, you can guess how that turned out. Of course, none of the children admitted to having it. There was $35 down the drain, so to speak, that I had given my grandson for the game he bought for his birthday.
She also gave him the same lecture about being more reponsible. These are also 4th graders were are talking about in my grandson's class.
My daughter also said the same thing that you did. She was upset because the principal did nothing about it either, since it was on school property.
I feel sorry for your son. He has a kind heart, but I guess he learned, as my grandson did, that sometimes people are not as honorable as they should be.
I lost a 12-day old grandson to this 3 years ago...
my daughter did not know she was infected, had no lesions, had a vaginal delivery and the baby became infected. A truly heart wrenching, horrible end for this sweet baby boy. He was fine for the first 8 days of life and then became suddenly ill. My daughter had to make the decision to end his life (she was only 22 at the time). I happened to be on a trip at the time going to the memorial service for my father who died from lung cancer. The worst month of my life. Thanks for sharing the story.
Grandson won't eat without ketchup, even on Thanksgiving dinner!
I know my cooking is lousy but he does this everywhere so I can't take it personally, grosses me out!
Grandson just skipped a grade last year (sm)
He started in kindergarten and promptly began acting out. Luckily the teacher and principal decided he was not just a rowdy child, but bored. He had somehow learned to read himself during the summer before kindergarten and we weren't really aware he could do it. They tested him out as reading third grade level as he was just beginning kindergarten. After much testing and conferences (against normal school board practices) they moved him up on a permanent basis. They also placed him in the gifted program in our school district. The counselor and teachers were careful to monitor his progress and social interactions. The only time we have noticed a big problem was in Cub Scouts. They put him in a group by grade level and he did seem a little more childish than some of his group. He adapted well, though.
This is my second grandchild to be in the gifted program here, both have tested out with very high IQs. Socially they both fit in well, perhaps the youngest one is a little too into computers, puzzles and games, but he fits human interaction in there too.
Their precious little minds need to be fed just as their bellies do. Good luck to you.
I can smell it now
 Food= Prune cake (tastes like a chocolate chip cake with pecans in it) My grandmother always made it for me I now make it for my kids and friends but it is now called ChocoChip cake.
Present= Still to this day I LOVE the coupons my daughter makes. Free baby sitter. Run your bath. Cook Supper. Clean the Kitchen. and my favorite my reusable unlimited hug coupon good for the next year. These presents are the ones that make me cry and she always seems to come up with a new coupon that has a special meaning for me.
 Christmas isn't all about the money to everyone. If you dont like the way things are then start by changing them at home and you'd be surprised how far reaching those changes can be. MERRY CHRISTMAS. 
I can smell those now but
which ones, if any, would I be able to have inside my home? Payday today and gonna head out later to get something sweet.
Tried it! Now they smell like cat poo.
Still, it is in improvement.
< just being silly >
Another way to get the smell out s/m
is using vinegar. My cats no longer have accidents in the house, but when they did, this worked wonders! I have one of those Bissell green machines and mix it with water. I have to make sure the litter box is cleaned daily and I also have 2 boxes. They aren't that picky on the type of litter that I get, so I'm lucky on that part.
I would definitely get some cat toys, maybe her own blanket rubbed with catnip to start with and hopefully she will start to give some respect. Maybe she wants her own bed? LOL
My son has a cat that will allow no one but him to touch her (except if she is hungry of course). She will come up and act nice, but when you pet her, she bites. We have all just learned not to mess with her as we cannot get rid of her as it would greatly upset my son.
If she is still doing it, go to the vet. The other poster is right about possible urinary tract infection, etc.
Actually, it really does not smell much at all. s/m
I also like to get the "mentholated" kind -- it makes my skin tingly!! And don't forget, the generic brands are much cheaper!!
It seems it would probably be less expensive SM
to just buy fabric and cut it out yourself. There are some great fabric stores with home dec fabrics. Anyway, should be easy, since just straight sewing.
Can anyone tell me just how expensive it is
to get a hearing aid, including the evaluation and the price of the device? My husband is driving me crazy. He can't seem to hear very well anymore and he is such a grump. We have insurance but I was wondering what to expect. I really have no idea if it is $250 or $2000. Thanks if you can help me. 
Why do that have to be expensive?? (nm)

I think they are expensive. Would rather have

You can use other primers that don't smell quite sm
as bad as Kilz. I only use Kilz in the summer when I can open the windows. It can make you pass out without good ventilation. Otherwise, I use a latex primer which works just as well although I sometimes have to use 2 coats. I agree, though, the oil-based Kilz is the best.
I had one and even descented, they smell.

Ferrets smell really bad!
You are so welcome!! I was also worried about the smell,
especially since I noticed it was also for horse manes, but it sure did help our hair. So glad it helped your little one!! :)
If you are not a smoker you will be able to smell - sm
it on him a mile away. Obviously if you smoke you won't be able to smell it, and also the odds are he will smoke too (that is if you do). If you don't smoke it is possible he is telling the truth, as for punishment for having them the obvious answer is to withhold something he loves for a couple of weeks, whether it is TV, or afterschool activities, or video games, or driving if he has a learner's permit. Good luck.
they smell chemical changes...
my friend had kept a retreiver that wandered up and when my friend got pregnant, Fancy would not part from her side until after the baby was born. My neighbor had trouble with her son and his "friends". Somehow, the bull got loose and was kept for 2 to 3 days in the front yard (we're in the country) until the fence was mended. That is when she found out he made a good watchdog; he would not let any of the "potheads" in. Anybody doing drugs was greeted with earflapping and then a charge!
vaginal smell
Has anyone had any bad smell after using K-Y jelly even after taking a shower after four hours, I mean a foul smell?
smell test
I can tell when the teacher has hugged my kid because she smells like the perfume the teacher wears.
A school day is long. Better the teacher is kind to your child than mean (and there are both kinds of teachers.)
Oh, I can just smell the aroma now
I have read this and thanks so much. I have been using the drip and fussing at hubs who is usually the one to "upgrade" things around the house. I told about having the Cuban coffee the other day and yummy! I thank you for this and will print off so I can contain the information you sent. Thanks!
Uniforms are NOT more expensive.
My kids have been in public school and in Catholic school. Buying uniforms is waaaay cheaper than buying back-to-school clothes. My boys are required to wear khaki pants and a polo shirt, and non-scuff type brown shoes. (I choose to buy Skechers.) Each started with two pairs of pants and three shirts, and I spent less than $300 the first year. The clothing lasted all years, and I found that one pair of Skechers per boy was a good investment. One pair made it through an entire school year. (Previously I bought cheap Pay Less shoes every couple of months.) As time goes on, the older son handed down uniforms to the younger brother. I replaced uniform shirts or pants as needed, and there was no big rush to go school shopping in the beginning of the year. Our school also offers uniform exchanges to keep costs down, and will provide uniforms for free through the Home and School Association to families with financial need.
As far as expressing their individuality through their clothing, they still have street clothes for life outside of school, and they can express their individuality then. Or, they can be individuals simply by being themselves, because that's how it's done. I think the "expressing individuality" issues is over-rated. What we need more of these days is people thinking about the team, about each other, and how their actions impact the entire community. We need less of it's-all-about-me attitude, in my opinion. If uniforms help in that regard, I'm very much for them!
Often several people will go in together to get a more expensive
jk,
Mine are not the expensive ones
like you probably had but at the same time offered 1 and then told I could sell myself for twice so just decided to keep and wear myself. The funny thing is to just look at those you would think just junky cheap plastic. I found at the antique place some old Jewell Tea dishes and such, my stepmom had plenty and they were selling for prices unbelievable to me being as I knew cheap years ago. I did find out that probably would have sold necklaces and bracelets for less than the dealer told me to sell for.
I thought they were expensive too

San Diego got way too expensive
Rent was about a grand a month eight years ago when I was 36 and had my precious baby I left there when he was eight months old. I stayed with my two of my best friends (gay couple) in Atlanta for over a year in their mansion-like home. I then came back here to MI, where it surely is cheap to live and he and I could be near my family. I bought a house last year for $13,000 (that's not a typo) and the cost of living is very reasonable here.
No, 27 is certainly not old and you're not having a mid-life crisis -- just wild oats. I used to call it "world of hate" when I would be ready to leave a city: Sick of traffic, sick of the people at the grocery store, sick of my neighbors. Then, I would plot out a journey and move on. Now, though, with my sweet child of school age, we can only wander off and travel in the summer months. So, do it while you can, girl!!
I know they are expensive. A pedicure alone
I wanted to get my grandma one but i just can't afford that!!!
Why are funerals so expensive?
After finding funeral home service for my grand mother. I think that funeral home is so expensive.
You agree with me?
Thanks! Bras are EXPENSIVE!! nm

At least you are smooth and smell nice. LOL.

Cats are very sensitive to gas smell
It wouldn't hurt to have it checked. They always have stories on the news of how animals(cats especially) save people from gas leaks when the people had no idea there was one.
Hold on, now - not all old folks have that smell
I have an aunt who is 89 and she always smells so good, likes her really nice perfume and never a stinky. She is in 80 group. I am quickly getting to that ole folks age but I also love smelling nice although I don’t do the perfume as I love those nice shower gels.
Loss of smell and taste
Thank you so much for responding. It is bothering me somewhat as when I mentioned this to my primary care doctor he didn't seem to think it was something to be concerned with, or at least that was my impression. I will be seeing the ENT doc on Friday and hopefully I can get some answers. I guess I will have to get used to eating food and not being able to enjoy the flavor. I also read on line about smells, spoiled foods, gas fumes, etc. Thanks again and I am glad you are doing well otherwise.
Loss of taste and smell (SM)
Hello all - I was wondering if anyone on this board has ever lost their sense of taste and smell due to an upper respiratory infection and/or chronic sinusitis. This happened to me about 3 months ago and I assumed I would regain my sense of taste and smell but I haven't yet. Any suggestions as to treatment would be greatly appreciated. BTW I will be visiting an ENT specialist soon. TIA
smell of giblets cooking
My husband got a tip from Food Network this week. Don't cook the liver with the rest of the giblets. The liver is what gives off the nasty odor and makes the broth bitter. Happy Thanksgiving!
JJ says stop and smell the roses...sm
and congrats to his "cousin" for the win!
the urine doesn't have a smell
I don't know she has urinated until...ugh...I "feel" it when I lay down
Is there a way to get smoker's smell out of a house?
I found this amazing place to live across from the beach (the only reason I moved to where I moved) that is affordable and totally decent. Two male roommates that are totally awesome, i have already been welcomed into their family (they are cousins). The problem is they have smoked inside the condo... I asked them about it and they said they had no problem smoking outside. Two questions: Is it wrong to ask them to? and second, is there even a point if I cannot get that smell to ever go away? I REALLY am trying to look into any possibility because ive been looking for months for something EXACTLY like this, i dont think it comes available often...
Thank you for any suggestions
Then I smell something fishy here, why would the g'mother
try to take bankruptcy with such an income like that? I would be willing to say someone is trying to scam some government agency such as welfare or the like.
oh yea don't forget the smegma smell
HAHAHAHA
Very very expensive and demanding blessings, yes.

Children are an expensive responsibility.
It's not fair to bring people into this world who will clearly be at a disadvantage from the get-go. They have no choice in the matter, you do.
