I am at my brother's for my nephew's bday and easter and whatever gross vegan taco mix smells so bad that I just want to puke. I have a strong sense of smell and this is putrid. Get me out of here. (couldn't find a puking emoticon to place here)

Also, I'm sorry you have to put up with such a thing at Easter.

I live in a smelly old man's studio apartment, if you know how big that is. The bathroom is disgusting since the toilet, floor and walls are never cleaned so there's mold, dust, hair, etc. everywhere. The kitchenette sink is also never cleaned so it's also nasty. The closet is stuffed w/some of my stuff, but mostly his. And the rest of the apartment he basically uses as a storage room for the books he won't stop buying (alot of which he doesn't really need) and his newspapers. He even fills tote bags w/them and leaves them on the floor and it's gotten so bad, his bed is covered in books and newspapers. All of this b/c he's a hoarder and almost never takes the old s**t out, so there's barely anywhere to walk. I sleep on the floor too. Anyway, fortunately I can go out in the afternoons and evenings to the local university library, since I can't use the desk there either b/c you know what's covered all of it. If I didn't have access to the library, I'd probably jump off a cliff or something drastic like that.

I feel for you, Noca. Cooking smells I can usually live with since I like to cook. But going to people's homes where they use scented candles, especially the colored oil kinds in bathrooms, "plug-ins" or other things can make me feel sick and disoriented.

My mom loves both colored oils in bathrooms and "plug-ins" ugh, no matter how many times I tell her they not only smell awful, they trigger my chronic urticaria. I threw one out just yesterday.

I would probably go on a cleaning frenzy if I lived in a place like that.

Sorry. I really feel for you, I have a very hard time dealing with certain smells.

You can wear shades for the eyes and earphones for the ears, but there's not much remedy for the nose I suppose. I get sicked by cooking smells in other people's houses.
