Re: Old People Smell... Do You Dread Getting It?

I wash every second Thursday (after the bin men come), and I smell of roses ....

You're lucky, our bin men only come once a month. I wash then too whether I need to or not

My son who works with the public says old people smell fausty and of a greasy hair / Greasy body odour , I keep telling him not to be so rude , but he laughs and says but it's true mother .

I recently went to a meeting and there were around 100 oldies in the hall , guess what , I smelt em before I even got in the door .

OMG , I wonder if I do . Plenty of showers and a deluxe body lotion is now priority

Re: Old People Smell... Do You Dread Getting It?

Me too

Re: Old People Smell... Do You Dread Getting It?

Longy, Yes, for now!
In the future, the flowers wilt and the sweet smell changes to musty, reisty, greasy!

I wonder if we start to decompose at a certain age?

It’s frightening!!

Then there's Spontaneous Combustion!
I suppose then you could be described as 'smoked'

Oh Dear!! We haven’t got a lot going for us!!

My late father who was nearly 87 when he died never smelt.
He went out walking daily even on the day he died .
He ate well and did all his own housework .
He also had all his teeth .
He was the last of his family his siblings and father died young.

Dread is a strong term, most folks in Old Age would dread going to the Toilet before arriving there, or dread their Legs stop working.
