The mingled odours of both is what I would wake to. once I nearly vomited getting on a swissair flight, they waft welcoming coffee bean smell through planes as you board. Luckily later they gave me chocolates

"morning bms"

wait.... what?"

Do you mean what I think? Is this a cultural thing... the term "bms"?

it's what you think it is I don't know which culture uses it, I was trying to be polite talking about my parents but even their shit stinks

I think maybe it's a medical term?

yup

My friend used to spray White Linen to mask the kitty litter, so of course that perfume stinks like cat piss now. Probably did already come to think of it

I know but the first people I heard say it were nurses "did Mrs. Smith have her BM today?"

I just got back from walking around the neighborhood, and I passed a lot of "odors": flowers, dog poop, a garbage truck, someone cooking breakfast...

But when I walked up one particular street, the scent under the trees reminded me of Boy Scout Camp (I was a leader for a while).

I've seen Maddams Family. Cousin Tit was hot.

there is a pinball machine at a pub we go to of Addams Family, I told Neal that since he told me his gf brought that home I ALWAYS think of it, so I was sitting there at dinner looking at that thing CRYING with laughter, and of course Neal always does when I does, so there was no hope for either of us

I have a funny Maddams family story that also relates to this thread.

Back in 90s, I recorded it off TV onto a VHS tape (like I said, Cousin Tit was hot) and the tape I used for TV pr0n was unlabeled like all my VHS tapes used for temporary recordings. So, my gf at the time is over one night--the same gf that told me early in our relationship that she's not into pr0n and when she asked me, I told her I wasn't either because that's what I thought she wanted to hear--and we were going to watch an episode of some TV show that I had recorded earlier that week. Of course I get the tapes mixed up and put in the pr0n tape by mistake and Maddams Family immediately comes up on the TV screen, right in the middle of a sex scene no less. I can still remember the look on her face when she saw that. Pr0n was part of the reason why we eventually broke up some time later.

Maddams Family will forever remind me of that moment.

Oh no! I'm sorry to remind you of a crap memory! Now recount something pleasant instead!

I have many worse memories about my ex than that one.

When I hear tracks from 'Californication' it reminds me of the first time I came to Thailand and backpacking in New Zealand.

Drinking wine outside in the evening reminds me of being in my student house.

Listening to Utada Hikaru's 'Ultra Blue' triggers a lot of emotions but I'm not sure why and what they're tied to. I just find the songs particularly emotive, but I can't think of any particular time or experience they're linked to. Maybe they just to speak to me of my move out here in general, and possibly my nights out and meeting new people. Not sure.

The smell of fresh cut grass reminds me of my primary school days, playing footy, and doing athletics.

The smell of earth after rain

The smell of earth after rain

And Rain itself

Fresh cut hay

Snow

so so many scents, sounds and visual triggers

Music is huge for me as are things like the wind through hoop earings or the sun blasting on my skin
