    Well that sucks.  I have a very sensitive nose, so that would really bother me too.  

    For a long time, something in my cabinet smelled like tacos.  Not a bad smell, but weird.  After months of wondering, I found it by process of elimination when we got new carpets and I had to empty out the cabinet.  It turned out to be a video camera bag that was inside a cardboard box!

    No smell that I'm aware of.  Of course, some of the games I play (and especially my gaming skills) smell to high heaven.

    I'll check that out.  I really like riding a bike, so that's what I've been doing.  Weights and stationary bike every weekday morning, then a real bike when time and weather permit.

    No, but sounds interesting.  My metabolism has really slowed down at age 50. I've been exercising more and more, and that really helps to feel good and healthy for me.

    "Ain't nobody got time for 'dat!"

    Interesting aside -- the other day I drove my mom to Costco for a hearing aid repair.  There was a car at her exit with smoke coming out from the hood.  The driver was getting a fire extinguisher from the back.

    On the return trip...a completely burned shell of a car!  OH NO!  Poor guy.  It was a pretty new car too...a small Chevy.

    Thank you @LeeJ07 I watch MeTV all the time! Unfortunately tonight at 9PM EST I'll be watching History Channel, they have a documentary called "Game Changers" about the history of video games, including a lot of Atari and Atari people:
