Today, I could smell the peaches everytime I walked through the work room of the library. But the two ladies working at the checkout desk came back once, laughing because the one said that even with her stuffed up nose she could smell the perfume on one lady. The other said she had to get up and walk away while she was checking out her books. Do you suppose the lady could not smell the amount of perfune that she was wearing? At the Mayer library there is a man who comes for movies. When he comes into the library the other patrons get up and leave. It is not perfume that is causing the smell there. The man needs a shower in the worst way. Does he not know it? Sometimes I would like to tell people but I hold back the words. Would that all aromas were as good as those peaches smelled. Dooley
Oh if only Dooley!! Thank goodness we have the scent of flowers and fruits to counteract the 'other' smells.
When I was in school we had a teacher who wore a phenomenal amount of perfume. Everytime she passed by you it was like chemical warfare Dooley obviously you have not stood beside a gnome then. Have you? I think you'd remember if you did
I wonder that too Dooley. I work in the public and sometimes I just have to walk away when some people are looking at the meat when I am filling the counter. How can they not know, whether the smell is perfume or body odor. Simply amazing.
Working in any public building, one comes across many unpleasant aromas. We have several who come into city hall either with too much perfume or too little bathing. We keep a can of air freshener under the counter and start spraying when they leave. If it were from plainhonest days hard work, I wouldn't mind but poor hygiene is something else.
My art teacher used to REEK of coffee and cigarettes. Then she would come and hang over your shoulder.It was all I could do not to retch. :-| To this day I brush my teeth right after coffee. Thank heaven for scented plants- the best aromatherapy there is. 8)
When Amanda was in elementary school, I volunteered in the school library one day a week. There is not much more smelly than a large library filled with 4th and 5th grade boys who have just been outside for recess on a hot late summer or late spring afternoon. Julia (the librarian) and I had cans of air freshener at the ready the minute the bell rang between classes.
Frank, we don't get too close to our gnomes. They are outside playing chess. Is is a good smell or a bad smell? Should I stay away then? Dooley
Other than garden gnomes, you are the only gnome that I know. Would you like to come and visit? I'll make you peach pie. Dooley
Negotations? The two gnomes said they don't negotiate and they aren't moving. I set the turtle to watching. The turtle says he needs a cell phone because if the gnomes are up to mischief he won't be able to move fast enough to notify anyone unless he has a cell phone. Boy, the demands security makes. Chance wants extra biscuits for barking away the thunder. What happens if the gnomes won't go? Dooley
You need to get the turtle a wireless headset in case he arouses suspicion in the terrible two. I suggest you pamper Chance and the turtle as much as you can as you probably don't want disgruntled security staff. The gnomes will corrupt them.
