Hi Atlas; thanks for sharing, I can fully appreciate the courage it takes to post personal details online. Fortunately, this is a very friendly place and most of us don't bite, at least without asking first. Pay no attention to the nay-sayers... you post as much as you feel you want to share.
When you mentioned the smell of fish, you struck a chord with me. Now personally I adore the smell of fresh fish; however, I remember one time my Mum was nuking some kind of fish in the microwave, steaming it I think. Well, despite being fresh, the stench coming from it was gut-wrenching. It was like laundry that had been dredged from the bottom of a swamp and then boiled. Not only did it put me off eating it, I was very nearly put off fish for life.

At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
