Living on a farm like we do, we have lots of wild 'critters' that wander around.

Ack. I suppose I'd rather run into a skunk than a water moccasin, but that's like choosing between having a tooth pulled and a root canal.

Whenever we smell a skunk during our travels which isn't often, I remember this song that was mildly popular in 1972 called "Dead Skunk in the Middle of the Road". Anybody else recall it? (A search of the internet reveals that the singer-songwriter is still very much around and quite prolific. Just not mainstream.)

that there is no PMS and this is my personality!

There's no skunks around here but am familiar with that rather "unpleasant" smell from our trips to upstate NY. The kids were little and all you would here is ewwwwwwww skunk!

Hope the smell and the skunk are long gone!

Okay, I saved this post for my end of the day post, Nancy! You have some of the funniest tales - I really thought a skunk (not just the scent of one) was going to show up somewhere in your post. Yes, I bet that did ruin that nice wine tasting party w/hubby!
