    Fiberglass - My first job as a fiberglass repairman (fiberglass bathing fixtures)

    Abs pipe and cement - My time as a plumber in residential construction.

    Cloves (either the spice or the cigarettes) - My very good friend/this really cool chick I was married to once.

    Weed - All the bongs I've loved before.

    Cigarette smoke - Tho I'm a smoker, the smell of second hand smoke always reminds me of coffee breaks and seedy diners.

    Here's a wierd one (or not, you can tell me) when I have a bruise and poke it (like ya do) I always smell bandaids.

    How the air smells after a rainstorm--great.

    My dad was a big drinker. He used to take my siblings and I when we were 3-5 years old to his favorite bar and have us sit in a booth. He'd get us a soda and we were supposed to sit there quietly while he drank. You know how some old bars have that certain old bar smell? Whenever I smell that smell, I think of my father. Not that I go to very many bars. Really.

    The smell of a turkey cooking.

    Baby powder.

    New car.

    The two cent Bazzoka Joe gum wrap comics reminds me of my childhood. Once i saved up for a handful of them and my mother forced me to give it to all the other kids. Pepto bismol reminds me of this unhappy childhood experience, especially when I have stomach problems. It's like drinking liquid gum and has the same colour and smell.

    Colt wine dipped cigar and Dutch pipe tobbaco remind me of my grandfather.

    I have a wood burning stove and it's presently on. I told my eldest son tonight, it brings back lots of memories.
