The Dinette Set by Julie Larson for June 19, 2013

Timmy must be referring to the lilac floral arrangement on the toilet tank. What else?

He had to ask?

Old people smell…I feel sorry for my future grandkids.

Regarding air fresheners, give me a break right here! No offense if you use them but..

What do the people who use air fresheners think is going on? Air fresheners introduce oil into the air of their home. It coats everything and collects dust that is difficult to clean. It turns dark and grimy.

Then, as the rancid oil collects, the ‘fragrances’ ‘blend’ into an odor reminiscent of the U-Store-It storage unit in which Jerry got to second base with Verla on a hot summer mid afternoon date.

It’s elevator music for the nose!

I SO wish I had a “LIKE” button for this remark – ‘elevator music for the nose’ – genius.

Toenails, I didn’t know that about air freshener. Makes sense. That poor room. The “scent” of every event lingers on forever and you can’t get rid of it. The answer to Timmy’s question is “Life.”And the smell of Jerry and Verla’s lovemaking in a hot storage room is too much to imagine. There’s something very Tennessee Williams about that idea.

The odors from that bathroom have been known to make spies talk.

Good Morning All

Leaky!I’m later than you!

Marlene and Dale both look like their wigs are strangely loose, even though they don’t wear wigs….

I mean, let’s get real…. if you wore a wig…. would you pick their hair?

Then again… Jerry buys that mop.Probably gets a deal from one of those catalogs…." Any Dynel © wig on this page only $9.99!"So of course he picks the one with the most “hair” to make sure he gets his money’s worth.

Yeah, Leaky….I’m totally worried about that.Cos if I’m pregnant right now…

let’s just say I have no idea……OK., no, let’s not go there.

And Leaky…I’m a little worried about YOU, too….Unless you know some deep dark Crustwood secrets…. and aren’t keeping them very well….Cos yesterday you posted “I find it very strange that Marlene & Jerry are going to be gone at exactly the same time Marg & Don are going away.”

So not only are you implicating Marg and Don….

but really????

Marlene is going away with Jerry??Isn’t Dale bad enough??

One more thing and I gotta go…Miss JuneBug your order is duly noted. Thank you!

Ooooo…ooooo…that smellCan’t you smell that smell?The smell of Burl around you

It was just a few weeks back that Joy commented how she could appreciate Burls essence in his favorite room. The younger generation doesn’t know much about matches, so the essence will linger forever.

He had to ask why it smells in there? In that place, it could be ANYTHING. lol

I don’t even want to think about the smells there. But I agree with toes – I hate room “fresheners” as well as scented candles, scented laundry products and all of that.

I love the smell of laundry dried on the line!

The bathroom that opens directly into the living room… must have been built special for MARGE and DALE…. so they can keep track of their toilet paper when the PENNYs visit…. ! ? ! ?

Just waiting for the mailperson to bring my assorted fruit chews……………… 45 more minutes.

Why is it that people think that a spritz of (usually cheap) perfume makes up for the fact that they didn’t bathe recently? And this bunch wears polyester, are overweight, rinses bras (and presumably pants) rarely……their abodes are veritble odor factories! And Toes, I completely agree about the bathroom spray, at least the natural “smell” goes away in a short time, but the scent of “Mountain Breeze” lingers for a looooong time. ICK

I use an unscented odor eliminator. No oils, just water, natural deodorizer and an sles base so it can remove the odors. Actually works quite well.

@Toenails,I don’t have any of those in my neighborhood. Mostly out in the wild desert (I agree- smell is lovely) I catch that when I drive a certain part of the freeway early morning (not recently as I’m home at that hour). I mostly just bring in everything off my clotheslines when landscapers arrive (once a month) with those horrid gas machines.
