Scientific Progress: “Old Person Smell” Is Real, but Not Necessarily Offensive
The Japanese have a word for it: karieshuu. It’s the distinctive odor of the elderly. It’s more than just carelessly applied rosebud perfume, though. It appears that blindfolded volunteers could actually discern the difference between the body odors of the elderly when compared to younger folks.
There could be some biological significance to identifying one’s age by smell, just as animals can sense illness and infirmity via scent.
Body odors are a result of the microbes that live on our skin and the smelly byproducts they create as they digest waxy, oily secretions from our glands. These secretions and the microbial communities appear to change with age. More from Ferris Jabr at the link below.

You know you are really great friends when you can have non-lengual conversations. sometimes the simplest actions can convey such monumental ideals as “apology accepted” without any verbal action happening.
Tonight I offended one of my closest friends with a poorly timed, in-poor-taste joke. I spent the last 20 or so minutes fearing that she would never talk to me again trying frantically to say sorry using whatever social media was available to me. I feel like a great weight was lifted off my shoulders when I saw this.
Thank you LovingMyGingerBoy and sorry again
