Is anyone else sensitive to perfumes and colognes?
Today, for the first time in over probably a month and a half, I decided to go to church. I've been out of town so much the last few months and with my back not cooperating, I haven't been going. I know, I know, baaaaaad me!.
Back to the rant... errr.. what I was saying. I get ready, hop in the the truck and off I go. I arrive at the church, early, no less. I hop out of the truck and walk across the parking lot. As I walk up onto the front walk, BOOM!, I get hit in the face by the smell (AND TASTE) of perfume. Not just a light wiff through the air, mind you, but enough to take my breath away. Immediately, the thought raced through my head
. o O ( If its this bad out here, what is it going to be like IN THERE ????)
I know its not proper to put yourself above God, but in this case, I couldn't see myself getting much out of the service with my eyes burning and my nose draining. I seem to remember that God thought it important to breath. He stirred the breath into that ball of dust and clay that became Adam. I think that's the reason we do it so automatically. Well there is that little quirk that if you stop for too long, you die. (I don't know why people make such a big deal about that). (Sarcasm)
I turned around and hopped back in the truck and left.
I know that utility bills can be expensive, but I've seen the price of some of these "stink 'ems". One could easily take a shower with some good ole fashioned soap many many times for what one little bottle of some of this stuff costs. And at the way the person today was using it, they must have a 55 gallon drum of it at home.
So folks, if you think you smell perdy with that junk on.. think again. Take a bath, a shower, spray yourself off with a hose, take a dip in a pond or lake, play in a mud puddle... please do not assult my senses by dumping that "stink 'em" all over you. When you're sensitive to it.. a little can go a looooong loooong way. (End of rant.. Thank you for your time)
