I been losing my sense of smell over the last several years. I believe it is hereditary however, my mother has no sense of smell. Mine's at about 1/10 of what it used to be. I can still smell, but I have to "do it deliberately" inhale deeply. that being said, it's been a relatively minor issue for me. Losing my hearing on the other hand would sux. No music, no sirens, no laughter, no thank you.

closer to death big boy ;-) -> fear -> faith.
