I look after my 85 year old Mom and her 4 Sisters. The oldest is 91, and doesn't get around well. She's got dementia, a weak heart, and takes aricept, coumadin, norvasc and a couple other pills. I've got to wonder if the meds have an effect on her stomach or if it's just what my friends call "old rotten guts." Her Sisters think it's from what we feed her. They cut her portions back to a point where I think she should eat more. She hits the jackpot though, and they blame me for giving her too much food. I have opened every window in the house and both doors more than once on account of her.
Tonight, she got up from the dinner table, and about 4 feet from my position leaked one out just as I was taking a breath. I felt a sudden urge to find some air. I almost knocked her off her walker trying to get past her and out the front door. I got down the stairs and lost my supper. I managed to miss most of it, but we're having a gale and torrential rain right now and a bit blew back on my trousers (in slow motion of course) which are going around in my brand new front load washer right now. I got nailed by a skunk as a kid, and didn't feel as bad afterward. She cleaned my clock. I've got to wonder if it's another fun part of growing old that I get to look forward to or if it's from the meds. Every day is a new adventure taking care of family.

It is not by coincidence, that as your bowels begin to function poorly, your memory and sense of smell diminishes as well. Sort of a biological default, to preserve what dignity you have left. Those meds can be heck on the digestive process, as well.

When Dorothy was having her problems with Crohn's Disease she could cut one that would knock a buzzard off a gut wagon. It's been better lately, though.

I've still got the sour burps!
If it's Karma, I probably had it coming.
It's too bad you can't see those things wafting across the room so you could get a moving. Tomorrow, I think I'm going to buy a canary. Bird stops singing or starts jumpin up and down, I'm gone!

Mine don't stink. They quit about the same time I had my last sinus surgery---just a coincidence, I suppose. 
I saw a movie where only the military and the police had guns. It was called Schindler's List.

I think it's in the German shorthair's genes. My former brother-in-law had one when I roomed with him many moons ago. Got so bad that I brought home my military gas mask and wore that from time to time. Man that dog could let one go!

I've seen bird hunters with a truck full of dogs driving home with all 4 windows down, and the hunters are the ones doing the panting. My last Labrador retriever could bust one, but I'd welcome one of his compared to the pasting my sinuses got today.

I married the most beautiful woman...and she is a real true lady...first class all the way. She's been great to me for 31 years of wedded bliss.
But man, can she ever fog the windows with green smudge sometimes.
I have concluded that the more gorgeous a woman is...the more rotten their emissions are.
I just put up with it,out of love.
She also lets me use her soiled tampons to attract bucks during the rut.
