My leukemia's back.

I just have one son (adult and living far from home) but, I know of the scent. I used to blast everything in his room with Febreze - it didn't help. He was out here for the holidays and I just realized the "scent" is gone. Maybe they outgrow it at some point.

They do. Our son smelled like a fermented onion during that time period. As a matter of fact, I think he was called 'Onion'.

mine was worse than that Sour. It was positively indescribable

I used to threaten 'Onion' with a public scrub down.

I told them it smelled like dude. Sugar Monkey said buy them air freshener. I replied I have no vehicle now. So,he took a 8lb bag of oranges in the room, peeled and ate I think 3. He left the peels in a few piles around the room. He's calling it Redneck potpourri

.

No school again tomorrow.

Seriously, I'm kicking them out for a while. Build a snowman or something. Get out of the house and off my nerves for a while. Or maybe I need to get out. Wonder if the body shop can loan us a vehicle for a few hours so I can run some errands and just get out.

Orange peels are a great air freshener - and clean and safe for the environment! I have a whole orange with whole cloves stuck in it sitting in our powder room. After a few months, it still smells great. Airing out will help, too.

Glad to read the truck is fixable!

will the orange peels attract fungus gnats? I have them on my plant stands, though the real cold nights (basement) seems to have slowed them down. They were horrendous before hand. Never had so much trouble trying to eliminate them. I "hates," them.

"Redneck potpourri"

Rachel, hope you (or the boys) can get out for a while today...a change of scenery, even for a little bit, can be a nice break in routine.

Have a good day everyone!

Good morning, Team! Rachel, glad that you are feeling better - if you are antsy to get out that's a good sign.

Funny, I raised two girls and one boy...the girls were always fine, but the boy? Ken used to say that that smell is "normal" - it was just that his pheromones trying to decide which fragrance would be more attractive to chicks when he got older. Definitely a test I could have done without.....

I have asthma, so that is not an option for me. Even when the windows are opened for extended periods, the scent lingers.
