Natural Smells

I like things the way nature meant them to be - to smell the way they should. It all serves a purpose. 

Mankind has interfered too much with the natural way. When my toilet has to smell like a rose garden or a lavender meadow in the mountains or a pine forest, it messes with our minds.

Now when we go to a rose garden or a lavender meadow in the mountains or a pine forest, I and our kids think - "Hey! This smells like our toilet!!"

Point Of No Reason

The point in a discussion or debate when you realize reason and logic in addressing the topic is now futile. The exchange has drifted off to other issues or going around in circles, emotions have taken over and the atmosphere gets worse the longer you continue.
Time to shutdown or call for a break.
