I can smell cigarette smoke. A lot of it. I went outside to see if anyone was smoking, but there was no one and it smelled clean outside. Sat back down at my desk, and there might as well be someone sitting to my left smoking a Benson & Hedges.
That was a brand my dad used to smoke. On and off again, ever since my dad died, I’ve smelled cigarette smoke. From those B&H’s.
I know my dad watches over us; practically everyone in the family including dad’s own mom, grandma, has a story where dad showed up in a dream, or downtown, or some such story like that.
It also doesn’t help that both dogs are in the living room staring at the space next to my left shoulder.
Your question for today: If a woman who worked at the same place your husband did baked cookies for your husband, would you eat them, or go to his office with a slingshot and shoot her with the cookie ammo?
I had the same experience. It turned out to be a leek in a pipe under my downstairs flooring… Must have been reacting to the hot water pipe and emmitted a smokey smell…Ho-Hum
lol – I love these answers. Found out the gal made the cookies not for the hubby, but for me.She’s being trained in the relief graveyard shift (working so hubby can have two days off) and she had to call for help several times early in the AM for assistance. She felt bad for disturbing my sleep. Of course, I don’t sleep. :) So, it was nice and the cookies were really very good!
I’d eat them. i would encourage him to flirt a little, so I could have more. Esp if they are peanut butter or chocolate chip!!!!
I feel my dad too sometimes. Its really very nice!
Hey Jayne … they are your guardian angels. I often smell my Grandmother’s perfume, when I am in my yard.
It is a very good thing.
Hmmm, the made cookies “for” me spouse…
In this case, me would make the husband eat something bad and let him get a little sick, making him think it was the cookies… oh, if those eggs weren’t prepared right… then me would have him stay home sick for a few days… that should teach everybody ;)
If she baked cookies for several people, let it slide. If she baked cookies especially for one married man, give the cookies to neighborhood kids and smack the woman with something solid. Like a Ford.
I’d have to find out a bit more about the Toll House Tramp’s intentions. Cookie Baking can prove to be a powerful tool when it comes to office politics. Sometimes something as simple as a candy dish on your desk can gaurantee an upgrade to your computer if the IT guy has a fetish for Reeses Pieces.
