It is different for each person. I served in Viet Nam and was contantly around death, some say it is a premonition, others say it's a lingering smell from rotting of flesh. I contend it's smell is as indivudule as you are. I truly belive death has a very distinctive smell. It doesn't mean your fortelling death, but it is often in the air and it can linger for days. It's not too common of a subject and most won't or can't talk about it, but don't feel alone or fearfull if it happens. It's likley not a physic power.

It smells,... like the taste of ear-wax.

If you expect more from folks than they are capable of/willing to give you then you will always be disappointed. Do you and have you? Why?

Do you ever let yourself become the excuse for someone else's distemper or do you bail immediately? If they follow you what do you do?
