Health Science 101 Guidelines
Greetings! Welcome to Health Science.
Here's where we talk about the latest fad diets, the advantages of vegetarianism, the joy of exercise and good health. Like everywhere else at Tweb our decorum rules apply.
This is a place to exchange ideas and network with other health conscience folks, this isn't a forum for heated debate.

I recommend you do not try too hard and ...research as little as possible. Such weighty things give me a headache. - Shunyadragon, Baha'i apologist

That said, if he wasn't willing to mimic the character styles, he should have just turned down the offer to complete the series. For that matter, I can't pretend to understand why people feel a series needs to be finished after the author dies. It blows, but no one else can do what that author can do. Every one is unique.I'm not here anymore.

So, this is getting fun - in a weird kind of way. (not that anybody cares but this is a convenient way for me to document my digress)
I can smell nothing bad. Things that should smell bad have 'very nice' smells. Many things smell like warm chocolate.
I've been going to a clinic in Houston for the last few months, and the researchers seem quite interested. I'm learning a lot!
MOST of the time, I smell nothing. Smells, however, still seem to be associated with colors, even though I don't see many of the colors.
There is a very pleasant aroma when I smell coffee that smells nothing like the way I remember coffee smelling. The most important thing, however, bacon still smells like bacon.
The only concern seems to be that our nose is placed over our mouths to aid us in not eating things that have spoiled, and "spoiled milk" has - to me - a very pleasant smell. "Rotten meat" (they actually have vials of chemicals labeled with common food items and other items) smells like rain on a hot summer day. Very nice.
The most interesting thing is that when I'm just relaxing, and I think about my Church, I smell very pleasant relaxing fragrances - like no other smell I've ever smelled. I really enjoy that. I can almost 'force' that smell.
Besides the "can't detect spoiled meat or milk" factor - there seems to be no downside. It's weird. In a nice way.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

The smell of "Church" has a lot of those tones, but nicer. Kind of 'chemical', but clean, and no sense whatsoever of negative environmental impact. With shades of powder blue.
I remember when I was on mission trips to Haiti - there was a very distinct smell of charcoal fires, because everybody had their own little cook fires in their front yards (such as they were). I would often smell things in the States that "took me back to Haiti", and that very distinct smell. I haven't smelled "that smell" in a long time. Just realized that.

Originally posted by Cow Poke View PostExcellent question! No. That's one of the things that's really perplexing to the researchers. Drinking coffee right now, and it tastes like it has always tasted.
So if things taste the same but smell different that is odd.
You should try eating dog poop. You said it smelled like chocolate. See if it tastes like chocolate.
