Isn’t bothered by strong smells. > [@Intergalactic\_Gladiator](#): > > Is moderately perturbed that the Boston Celtics pronounce their team that way. My perturbation on this topic knows no limits. It is extreme. It is all-consuming. It fumes. There is, in short, nothing moderate about it. I twitch. I writhe. 😉 ---

> [@TruCelt](#): > > Isn’t bothered by strong smells. ? not sure where that came from. Did I say something about growing garlic, maybe? I like some strong smells (including garlic, though not rotting garlic); but dislike some other scents even if they’re quite mild, and am sometimes seriously bothered by scents most people don’t even seem to notice. – whoops, what else can I assume about atimnie? Aha! Likes to post frequently in thread games. ---

> [@TruCelt](#): > > Because I hate the smell of Honey Locust (aka Thorny Locust) trees in the Autumn. Ah. That’s not a smell that I much notice. I suppose that while I notice some smells that others don’t, I also don’t notice some smells that others do. Or maybe it’s more that various tree smells seem ‘normal’ to me – or maybe not, as magnolias strike me as overly strong to the point of unpleasantness; but then, they’re not common around here. I assume that Beckdawrek has interacted with some cats today. ---

Read the _Meditations_ of Marcus Aurelius during school/college, but not necessarily as an assignment. > [@thorny\_locust](#): > > Likes either labradors or laboratories. > > May have, or be connected with someone who has, the initials mjm. Right on both counts; nothing against doggoes (more of a cat person, me), but way back in the Stone Age of the Internetz, some sites/services didn’t like spaces or underscores in usernames, so the **mjm labs** rubric under which I promulgated my recreational media projects lost its space. ---
