My family has no idea of the depth of my sacrifices for them...
I'm making bbq pulled pork in the crockpot for them, for dinner. I cannot stand the smell of the cooking of pork. It makes me want to gag. I tried to cover the smell with a candle, and now my house smells like gaggy pork and cherries.

:puke:

They so. owe. me.

2. I can't just do that on command.
Pesky X- chromosomes, and all.

6. We all have our God- given talents. Mine is fervent contemplation.
Today, while traipsing the pasture of my mental acreage, I determined that the undersides of my butt cheeks look like smiles. This observation should serve me well on my media literacy midterm exam, in a few hours.

4. But is it the pork you're smelling
or spices? If it's just pork with nothing else, yes, that would make me gag too.

7. It's the pork.
The "pulling" part really grosses me out.

11. I get to go to class and take a test.
Actually, I DO look forward to going to class- particularly this one. At the very least, the pork-stench should have dissipated some, by the time I get home.

17. That's part of the reason that I rarely make bacon.
Particularly in the winter!
I like my house to smell fresh and clean- I figure it offsets the actual deficiency in cleanliness.

18. I only like the smell of bacon cooking at a campsite.
I am a huge over user of candles and Febreeze... with a sloppy looking kitchen floor at present time. :D

23. Me, too!!! That's why I spray lemon pledge at the front door
when company comes. They have no idea that the place is actually a flaming pig sty, because it smells so good.

21. Pine scented Yankee Candles are strong enough to cover
that smell. Hell, if they can cover the smell of fish :puke:, pork is a no-brainer.

22. Ew. I agree -- pork is gross.

I haven't eaten it or red meat in about, oh, two-and-a-half decades.

25. I love the smell of cooking pig meat
But I can sympathize with you because whenever my wife and son bring home fish for supper or even just make tuna fish I walk around feeling like I'm going to gag from the smell.

But I don't say anything and try to think of the smell of cooking pork :)
