New experience!(not pleasant be warned, but problem solved)

Post by Froro » Thu May 14, 2009 7:35 am

Okay, here is the deal. My darling husband is somewhat...shall we say...gaseous. If we could bottle the methane that eminates from that man we'd be millionaires.

So, last night, get all settled in bed and he is having a particularly foul night. Dear sweet lord, I thought I was going to die. Windows opened, air flow good it'll pass I pray.

Not so much. You know what is worse than rainout? Getting all comfy then having the odour permeate through the air filter and straight up your noggin!!

I ripped off the mask, nearly gagged, and thought I'd end up moving everything down to the family room so I could sleep peacefully. Lightbulb went off....My parents gave me this neat little thing a few weeks ago. It has a teeny tiny lightbulb in it and you flick the switch, it looks like a candle but it's a bulb and this nice soft scent comes from it.

After belting my husband for being a pig and not warning me of his particularly foul stench I grabbed the thing and rearranged my machine so the "candle" was behind my air filter.

SWEET smelling Victory!!! Thank the higher power!! (I belted the man again because he was taking perverse pleasure in my predicament...that'll teach him)

Foul smells or not, it's still nice to have been in the same bed with my man for the last two months. After 5 years of seperate sleeping, I'll take it.

Back when I had a dog, I used to feed him a product called "Charco-Snaps". They were actually derived from charcoal and it did a good job of stopping that problem. If your arm gets tired or your husband gets too bruised, you might see if you can find some of those.

That he is, that he is. He's about to start travelling alot with a new promotion he got at work...I told him I was going to call his boss and move up his schedule to he can start gassing the cleaning staff at the hotels. Weapons of mass destruction threats would pale in comparison to a full frontal fart attack from my husband!

Well, at least you'll be able to sleep peacefully and inhale fresh, odorless air while he's traveling.

Thanks, Froro. I needed a good laugh this morning, and you certainly provided that.

Too funny!!!

The problem in our house is I am the WMD creator as well as the CPAP user......I have to make sure that I don't aim it in the wrong direction or I could catch myself in my own crossfire.

CNAP pajama bottoms

Post by dowen » Thu May 14, 2009 9:34 am

This gives me such an idea for an invention. Continuous negative airway pressure (CNAP) pajama bottoms. Picture special pajama shorts with a 12 ft hose attached that would be connected to a CNAP device. The device would pull emissions out of the shorts and vent them into a charcoal canister or maybe even an exterior wall port.

I can see the commercials now.

Is hubby lactose intolerant? There are cheap and easy solutions.

No..not lactose intolerant at all...just a child some days. I dont' know what it is with boys and farts but the 4 of them in this house almost take pride in the really smelly ones. My daughter fortunately, still thinks they are all gross!!

A cork sounds like a brilliantly cheap solution but I don't think any of them would go for it!
