Count me in. I'm another non smeller (or is that olfactoraly challenged?). More accurately I can only smell strong 'basic' smells. Paradoxically my sense of taste seems unaffected. During the recent Festival of Perth my family and I attended an outdoor theatrical event that included a wind machine which blew aromas across the audience (the smell of the ocean during a nautical scene, roses when rose petals were being strewn etc). My wife and daughters assure me that each smell was quite distinct and recognizable. All I got was on unpleasant smell of burning oil. I felt like the nasal equivelent of the boy in the tale of the emporers new cloths. There are some advantages. Recently my wife was sent a bottle of her favorite perfume (Its not available here). You wouldn't beIieve how close I have to get before I can smell it. -:) Dennis. ++++++++++++++++++++ Dennis Greene 47/10 [log in to unmask] ++++++++++++++++++++
