...the air freshener aisle at the grocery store...

Worse than that: the dreaded laundry detergent aisle, when a spill of Spring Fresh powdered detergent hasn't been completely cleaned up.

As people go, the most overpowering are the ones who try to cover up BO with a lot of cheap cologne...the worst of both worlds.

I know a little bit about your Constitution, but I'm sure I've not seen anything about eating chicken!


Chicken is fine for me.
Talk to me about liver. There is not enough ketchup in the universe to make liver palatable.

The Walmart in Ogden puts the soap and the airfresheners on the same aisle. There are days I put my Tshirt neck up over my nose just to walk down it, especially when I am looking for something I am having trouble finding...

I am starting to stockpile masks a little. I am afraid if the bird flu scare hits, I won't be able to get any...and that means I will be in trouble.

Are these people for real?

Unfortunately the answer is a resounding YES.

Good. Eventually, they'll get around to banning all human behavior.

Then, we'll all be safe and live forever.

To what end and for what purpose, I just don't know.

I guess to work and generate the necessary revenue to police our every moment.

Yeah... I live four blocks away from it, and I can almost smell it from here!

Disabled? You’re kidding.

No, Jane, you ignorant journalist. I've watched it happen more than once. Mostly they just collapse. (Whether this requores banning scents is another question.) Perhaps a little medical research at an allergists office would have been helpful before having your name forever attached to this editorial.

I prepared for Y2k, and nothing happened. So, now I'm preparing for the avian flu... with my luck at disaster prediction you should be quite safe.

"Busy bodies.
They've always been around. It's just that they have never had this much power before, unless I was just not seeing it."


They're so brazen because they know they can get away with it without being rebuked in a very up-close-and-personal way. A hundred years ago people like this had a way of being shunned at the very least or being struck in a *very* sensitive spot at worst. Hundreds of years ago people like this didn't eat because those who fed them would tell them to f**k off. Hmmm, there's an idea...maybe a food boycott of the bluer-than-blue areas...

You are so right about that.

I have chemically triggered asthma. Not allergic to much, but have had off and on again problems with chemically triggered asthma. Lately it's been very bad. Since December, I haven't been able to go to church service on Sunday without an asthma attack unless I masked, mostly because the air circulation in our old building was bad, and everything seems to be scented or use those triggering chemicals any more - body wash. Hair products. Deoderants. Various scents.

I found if I wore two regular surgical masks and sat away from everybody else, I did ok.

Then we moved into a new building, and everything is still new...the floor finish. Latex paint. The upholstery on the pews. Probably even the finish on the wood.

I have to wear an R95 mask there. I can react to the slightest whiff of latex paint. And enamel is even worse. I've been using the 3M R95 Carbon Mask there, which works very well. But it's hot, and makes me feel like Darth Vader.

Our priest and I sort of laugh about it...He keeps telling me to put a smiley face on my mask. Thought about doing it!

But I don't go anywhere without my inhaler and my masks. for the last 2 weeks they had been resurfacing the roads near my house and in 10 days, I had about 8 triggers. Abuterol, and the extra coffee I drink when I get an attack hurt my tummy.

Ah life.

Chicken (turkey, goose, duck) livers, I enjoy, in fact it's wonderful. Beyond that, liver is gross. I will not eat it and I will not cook it. My husband loves beef liver, but only eats it when we are out. He is quite capable of cooking it himself, in fact he's an excellent cook. He doesn't cook it at home because he knows I won't clean up the dishes from it........I despise it that much.

Smart move.

Other than the 2 brothers that live directly across the road from me, our nearest neighbors are 170,000 chickens.
