New scent

Sat, 05/05/2007 - 20:28
I started off years ago smelling ammonia, then it changed to marijuana, then to, dead mouse. As of last month I am now smelling gasoline. Has any one else had their olefactory stuff change over time? or does the aura always stay the same?

I recently woke up to a nocturnal seizure where I thought I smelled smoke in the house bad enough to call the fire department. Considering most of the firemen are close friends of the family, the response was very fast! (Bad joke) After about 15 minutes of checking the house inside and out, the 'odors' problem finally hit me. Needless to say, they were not happy.
