you stink...

One of the more interesting things about radiation on this round is the fact that some of the beams are directed at my armpit. In order for the radiation to work well, I am supposed to not wear any deodorant.. and certainly no anti-perspirant. The metal content in both products presents a problem for the full dosage not to get microscopically deflected. Right now, it is nice and cool outside, but as soon as the temperature goes up, I will start to sweat (only on one armpit) and then smell.. eekk...

At least they haven't asked you to shave the arm pit yet. Then it would be stinky and itchy :) and no scrathing, please.

Ah, the good old arm pit stink. I remember those days. Boy, they were fun days. Running around, without a damn care in the world, not caring who you offend with your odor. Those were the days.

Now before I leave home, shower, shave, shave lotion, deodorant, body spray. SUCKS.

I remember my 10 day hike in California. No showers for 10 days, MAN that was good living. Came off the trail and was dropped off at Fresno airport. That poor son of a bitch in a suit smelling all good had to hate my stinky ass. But you know what? I slept all the way back with a big smile on my face.

When I arrived home, my brother made me sit in the back seat and he drove with the windows down all the way home. True story. Made me leave my backpack in the garage and take a shower IMMEDIATELY. The 'fake' world had found me.

Enjoy the stink. I wish I stunk like you. Stink is good. Don't let anyone tell you different.

out,

Mountain Stench

Again, I agree w/ Rich, who ever he is. Your own personal sanity sink is GREAT! Mine as you well know is the barn/farm outdoorsy smell. Keeps me happy & fairly sane until an outsider intrudes. But then my "petite delicate flower" side shows thru & the confrontation is nothing but a slight irritation & then a long gone memory! So stop bitchin'! You're wash~n~wear material! Besides, there always a time & place for "Boy stink" & don't try to tell me any different!
