Re: How quickly something can take you back to another time

My mom always wore Shalimar when I was little.  Whenever I smell it, I can picture her sitting in her bedroom putting on her makeup and getting ready to go out.  She always wore the most beautiful dresses with matching shoes,  bag, and gloves. 

 

That bottle sat prominently on her dressing table.   So beautiful...

The smell of diesel fuel always reminds me of standing at the end of our driveway, waiting for the school bus.

Second hand SMOKE.......WEED

 

My past neighbor was a STONER...a POTHEAD.

He would get DOO DOO faced and go out to his drug dealer..

 

He always thought no one could SMELL the second hand WEED on him.

He would drown himself in the SAME after shave, he thought it "covered the smell"

 

I would call the COPS on his drugging and driving.

THERE answer to me.........MOVE :-(

 

whenever I smell that aftershave.....that WEED neighbor comes right back :-(
