What was your favorite decade[s] for fashion?

There wasn't and all-at-once moment where I realized...I suppose just a series of things around 10-14 years old. Like my mom was teaching my sister and me to cook scrambled eggs, so she said "Butter in the pan, let it melt, then when it hits the point of fragrance add the eggs", my sister could smell it, and I couldn't. Also, riding the bus to school we'd drive through farm fields (I grew up in the country) and in the spring there'd always be a panic to get all the windows up because the manure they were spreading. But when I was little, I always just went along with it. Scratch-n-sniff stickers were the bane of my little-girlhood

It happens often, but no, it doesn't get annoying. I forget things about people all the time, even if I know them well (like I have a friend who grew up in Slovakia who doesn't understand Disney movie references), so I have tolerance for people forgetting something that isn't outwardly obvious

As far as I know, it is not possible. I had a roommate once who got obsessed with finding a cure, and found an article on testing olfactory transplants in rats. I don't remember if it was conclusive though. If it were easy enough to do, sure I would. My husband is a chef, I know I'm missing out on a lot of flavors. It's my dream to be able to accept a bouquet of flowers and sniff it and actually smell something.

Hah! Ummm, really without a control (an exact replica of myself that can smell) it's hard to say. I remember once in high school I was at my best friend's house and some our our guy friends had just left- one of whom she had a crush on. He had been sitting on her bed and after he'd gone she was enjoying his lingering scent on her pillow. I have a husband who works a lot, so sometimes I wish I could smell so that I could do the same, but in regards to your question....it's never blatantly affected my dating life. edit: I suppose pheremones might have helped some poor, ignored soul get my attention at some point...but I really dont know
