    The smell of greens cooking is not particularly refreshing. It's a good smell if you know what it is. Just like opening my lunch container of leftover brocolli, not a good smell but if you know what it is it's ok.

    The other dogs owners will appreciate this, but the rest of you will be totally grossed out:

    Years ago, my dog was licking her bum. All I could smell was something akin to rotting meat. In a panic, I called the vet and begged to get in right away as to me, the dog smelled as though she was rotting form the inside out. I figured she must have some horrible infection. Luckily, I had a very kind vet and they let me bring her in right away.

    The vet expressed her anal glands and oh yeah--that was the smell all right! The vet had a good laugh and explained that my dog was, indeed, fine, although she may need to have this done every few months. She was not, in fact, dying or even mildly ill.

    The vet couldn't believe that I had grown up around dogs and never been aware of this relatively common issue, but we had never had a dog with this problem so I was totally ignorant of it.

    I was a little embarrassed, but mainly relieved that my dog was OK. Still funny in hindsight though. And you never forget that smell--WOWZERS.

    I live in a small town in New England. As with most small towns, the tradition in town is that the departing high school seniors play a prank on the undergrads left behind.

    Well, a few years ago, the senior class announced that they were much more mature than that, and that they would rise above the tradition of pranks and actually make a gift to the high school so that their class would be remembered fondly. This news, of course, was welcomed in town.

    The day of the gifting came. With great ceremony the seniors presented the high school with a dozen or so gorgeous trees, the name of which I can't remember. They were planted with equal ceremony around the center patio that spilled from the dining hall and touched all the surrounding buildings. They were beautiful....

    ......until the next Spring....when they flowered. The stench was so bad that for 4 days, all the windows of the school had to remain closed and the patio could not be used.

    The kids now refer to them as "*kitten*-Crack Trees."

    That is indeed a nasty smell. Thank goodness the groomers do that so I don't have to.

    I also have a tree story....GINKOS. They line the streets of Washington, D.C. and they are pretty. But beware the fruit pods! If you step on them, you will have what smells like dog poop on your shoes. Totally gross.

    The stairwell at our gym (which our trainer makes us run up and down) reminds me of dissecting frogs in junior high...what is that, formaldehyde? (btw, only spelled that right because of spell check - you should have seen it before I corrected it!)

    The freezer above the fridge started smelling kinda funky. I took everything out and did a thorough cleaning, defrosting, and even put a new box of baking soda in it. Every time you opened it you would get hit with that smell! It got worse, and worse, and worse! I did another cleaning and tossed everything that was in the freezer. It was still there! I took everything out of the fridge part and had my guy take all the shelves and drawers out so I could clean it. Under the vegie drawer there was a bag of goo.

    My guy keeps a bag of batteries in the vegie drawer. About a week prior to the smell appearing he had been digging in the drawer for some batteries for his flashlight. He said he heard something roll and fall, and figured it was one of the batteries he had gotten out of the bag and put on the shelf. He didn't see anything, so he went on his way.... While digging in the drawer he had removed some bags of vegies to get at his batteries. The bag of goo was once a cucumber.... it had rolled off the shelf and under the drawer. Thank God it was still in the bag, I can't imagine how bad it would have been if it had not been in a bag!

    They might be Bradford Pear trees... They're gorgeous trees but the stench is awful. My college campus and the town I grew up in both were lined with them. Blech.
