In March 2010 we moved here and they installed a new carpet and padding.
In July 2011 i tried to replace the padding under the carpet. It was stinking like naphtha, glue and something else. Back then i didn't know what something else was. I bought a new padding but it was smelling again like naphtha (which back then i didn't know what it was.) even worse that the one in place and i just returned it. Complicated but quite simple. The sweet smell comes from the organic glue the fiberboard is made of besides wood fiber. Probably residue from slaughterhouses. Blood and collagen. It turned into a dust and entered the padding on the low side. The red dots are where i injected deodorant a about a month ago and it dissolved the dust. Deodorant was made of water, propylene glycol and/or enzymes. Almost transparent, nothing red in it. I also used pounds of baking soda. But that one didn't go beyond the carpet.
For about 200 dollars in 2011 i bought self adhesive liners and sealed the floor. I did a good job since it's still there after two years and still intact. Nothing comes now in or out of the fiberboard. However, it was one year to late. It entered the padding and is still there. (In order to seal it you have to sweep the floor really, really good for dust so the liner would stick there. I have it on the hard floor in the kitchen area and it stays there for more than a year and is better then other sealants).
I would have benefited if i replaced the padding but what was bothering me, the naphtha smell was still there as they gave me a similar padding with extra naphtha. Again, i thought the fiberboard was made with formaldehyde.
Back then i forgot (i was too sick to the stomach) to take pictures of it and to this day it was my fantasy now came true to take pictures and here they are.
If anybody is curious about the smell, there's only one thing i would tell him/her. Be my guest.

Sweet Lord and The Two Georges
George Harrison - My Sweet Lord from Guru Sabe on Vimeo.
Just finished this after half hour of searches. Today i heard the news about Ringo's photos then a song on the radio. Then it struck me. The two voices are almost indistinguishable. Thought i should share the idea. Never liked "boy" George anyways. After finishing i went to the kitchen to get a drink. It's 7:29 PM and i didn't have any today. Raising from the chair and two steps to the right and here i am in the kitchen. Cause there is no distinction between hallway, were i have the computer, living and kitchen. (The whole apartment is 50 sq mt (600 sq ft), a little smaller than the the one bedroom i had in Romania). I am in the living. I am in the kitchen. It's like that. But not really. When i got at the window, a car passed by, with an open window with a innocent-frighten-looking female in it. Like some of the ones from the pictures four posts ago. Stopped under the window, like they always do because of the yellow speed hump. It always happens like this. Every time when i got there to grab a drink or something to eat. How do they know when?
Crime and Punishment
Woke up quite dizzy. As usually. No much slamming early in the morning. Not after what i wrote on fb yesterday. Anyways. I thought i can indulge some beans and an egg for breakfast. I really like beans. Nothing happened. When i went outside for the first time i noticed a fine almost undetectable pungent smell like from burning a certain type of wood. On Boones Ferry, the road was partially bloked. Had to wait my turn. They dug a big hole covering both lanes and covered it with reddish steel plates. Forgot to reinsert the memory card in the camera so i could not take picture. Came back on Stephenson. I noticed a white limo with headlights on on the right side of the road.
I came back. Inside, the perennial glue smell from under the carpet. Pushed my luck and ate beans the second time. I didn't write when but a big helicopter flew low. Another flight over the cuckoo's nest. Probably OHSU. Shook the walls and whatever. Dust fell. Half hour, all hell broke loose. I heard a scared female neighbor i didn't know she was home running. Then a fine smoke filled the whole place. My eyes sting. That was the punishment. I don't know where it was coming from but hours later i noticed a fire near the pool, like for preparing a barbecue.
Went in the park to brake the cycle. Passed a weirdo that was exercising moving her hands strangely.
It always stops if i go out.

Do We Got It or Fungus Among Us
I remember one of my very first serious conversation back in the days where i could chat on IRC (now it's almost two years since i've got cut out, every time i try to connect to a server, it's either very slow connection or i can't connect or something like this). It was supposedly chatting whit a girl from Romania with a nick Oana_ or Oana29_ or something like that and i was peaking maybe 90 wpm and i was very excited. First i started on a channel #radionet or something on undernet, or it was radionet the network itself, can't remember for sure. It was late 2009 and she said she was recuperating from a broken leg from falling from a scooter. Funny enough, a while after that one of the TV stars from MediaPro managed by the same Sârbu did break a leg on a ski accident. She also said her husband or boyfriend spoke English, as i felt compelled to write some of the lines in English, but she was not very comfortable with those lines as it was exhausting just to read them. When i asked her what she was doing she said she was studying some books and when she was 5 years old she dreamed of being a doctor.
I wont forget Oana_ and the nice and attractive way she chatted with me.
One of the first days one of the first subjects was an idea i had about the most famous, large and old living organism on Earth, which is the 8.9 square kilometres (2,200 acres) acres fungus that happens to live here in Oregon, in ... Malheur county. (Thre are a few more smaller ones). My idea was more like a question, what if simple organisms like funguses can transmit nerve impulses from one cell to another and can configure as a humongous neural network and start thinking and communicating with us through some telepathic means?
As i was reading the news these days, about Tom Cruise and the Church of Scientology that says we got aliens in us, i remembered the whole thing.
Don't know about that but ever since i kept asking myself who she was.
Oana_, i'm on facebook. If you can read this please contact me. I got so many other subjects on my mind i'd like to talk about!
