I've been lurking here quite a while and finally decided to put in 2 cents worth. My wife is the PD'er 77/~20 or so. She never has had a good sense of smell, and PD has not changed it. Every once in a while she surprises me and says she smells something. No apparent rhyme or reason to what she smells. Passing a dead skunk on the road, sometimes she will smell it and other times she won't. I have a pretty good sense of smell, and sometimes she will smell something that I can barely smell and it will be fairly strong to her. As far as "fairy" smells are concerned, I think everybody gets them. Bob Anibal [log in to unmask]
