Smell of coffee in the morning

Wow, this is the first time someone has left an opening for one of my experiences. You know, so as I didn't have to force it on them. Way back when, we had a family friend by the name of Lou Ellenhorn. He had come to Hollywood with the unholy trio -- my dad, Hal Silene, and Lou -- to make their fortunes in the music business. Where the three of them were indeed successful enough to make quite good livings from the biz, only one, my dad, stayed in it. Hal became an artist and shaker in the advertising end of things and Lou, well, he felt a different calling. Rather than playing jazz in clubs, he thought he would be a jazzy clinical psychologist.

I was 'elected' to join a 200 person guinea pig group for his doctoral study. The study was indeed Pavlovian. He had determined that involuntary responses could be subtle and brought on by an entire range of stimuli with specific results easily demonstrated. I was fortunate in that I only had to be in the group for tonal analysis. The part in which I participated was his notion that specific tones could be discerned by the mind and used to trigger responses.

For this experiment he had designed a device that would send a puff of air into one eye or the other when certain tones were heard. The puff would cause one to blink. The test began at a slow pace and at each session the pace was advanced until at the end the range of tones were almost a continuous noise. Sadly, he was right about his hypothesis. Well, he was delighted, but we were considering all manner of possible death scenarios for the now wicked doctor.

For a full six months after the experiment ended, I couldn't listen to music without my eyes winking out some unfathomable code. I was approached a few times by concerned types who knew this or that opthamologist who they said might be able to help with my 'problem'. So, if in your wanderings you come across anyone who has an odd two-eyed independent but rhythmic tic, ask them if they know a fellow named Ellenhorn.

My other Pavlovian response occurs on my detecting the odor of bacon cooking.

Cookies and milk about 8 pm (if I'm home)

If I start playing music saved in my computer... I always end up playing music I created. Fired up some of my "gadgets" and start looking in the hard drive for lyrics I wrote, still lacking music. Congas will suffer today. The mike is fired up. The 3 Amigas Chihuahuas know is time to leave the room. I already danced with one.

Honey! Baby! Sugar! That look! That gesture! That smile! That scent! Put any 2 of them together and im ready...lol.

It’s greatly abated at this point, but in high school I could hardly stand up without being embarrassed by an erection.

Every time I walk past crisps, biscuits, chocolate and sweets in a supermarket!

Apologizing for everything. Flinching when someone is too close. Saying "and also with you" when someone says 'may the Lord be with you' (or the force lol)

When someone's having alcohol on tele it makes we want some. If someone's talking about food on the internet and I'm hungry it can make me drool! Lols.

If I see chocolate I must eat it ?. If I see wine I must drink it ?.

When a man smacks my ass...he instantly gets slapped?
When someone mentions god...I instantly turn around and take a few steps away before I stop myself?
Both true...lol
