I would like to tell you a story that happened last week, at the time it didn't seem so humorous, but now, looking back it is pretty hilarious. Bob had asked for egg salad sandwiches for lunch, so I dutifully put on a pan of eggs to boil, eight to be exact. My computer is in the kitchen, so thought I would check my email and work at my computer 'til the eggs came to a boil, then I would turn it down and set my timer. Sounds good huh? I would like to say here that many years ago I lost my 'smeller', all I have is my 'taste', which consists of sweet, sour and salt. I can tell if I am eating something sweet, like a good old chocolate bar, or sour, like a dill pickle, or salt. Everything else is smell. I can't smell a skunk, perfume, cigarettes, you name it I can't smell anything. Sometimes that is good and sometimes it is very bad. Now back to my story. Once I get on my computer, I seem to lose track of time and forget about everything else.
