Talk About Nerve

Ah! The smell of eggs
   and pancakes on the griddle

  Olfactory nerve distributes
    five pounds to my middle

I know the feeling and the actuality of it happening. Right now my stomach is growling wanting food and I should not even be hungry. I want some blueberry pancakes. No today maybe tomorrow said the procrastinator. Thanks for sharing this one. Sara

Usually I can wait. But when it comes to food - nope - can't procrastinate...

Why doesn't my tummy understand? Christmas cookies are the enemy. Those darn olfactory nerves, the one time you wouldn't mind having a stuffed up nose.

Thanks for the solution, Marikate. I'm gonna get a cold every holiday season. Then I won't want to eat so much. You should go into weight-loss counseling! Smiles, Gershon
