I am overwhelmed by the foul odors of the world lately.
We have a nice gentleman who rents the upper floor of our house, and apparently he has taken up smoking. No one else can smell it...but I CAN! BARF!

And there is a horrendous smell coming out of my pantry. I don't have any idea what it could be, but I'm thinking there's a rotten potato or spoiled garlic or something in there. It's too awful even to dig around there trying to find out what it is...I just hold my breath every time I have to get in there, and mouthbreathe for a few minutes after until the smell dissipates.

Thought some fellow sufferers might understand...as dh is making fun of my wolverine senses.

Dh has some friends in town and they both smoke (even though they have 2 young kiddos and she "might be pregnant again" GRRRR) and I couldn't even stand to be near them.

And my FIL has these frozen meatball thingys that he microwaves for lunch, the smell is absolutely horrendous and every time he makes them I have to evacuate the house.

Poopy diapers are a doozy too!

Update: I got serious about the vomitous smell in my pantry, and discovered that it was the dog food. Which will be living on the porch for the foreseeable future now.

Right now, I can barely stand any odor . . . hand soap and lotion, any food other than the most bland, my husbands breath (which is really fine, but suddenly bugs me to no end), TOOTHPASTE and FLOSS, laundry deterent, on and on . . . and this doens't even cover all the foul smells of the world. Oh, I hope this doesn't last long.

(didn't change my sig yet . . . if all goes well, we're expecting in March 07, too)

Ugh. Smells. They are killing me.

Our garbage disposal died this week and I thought I was going to die if DH didn't get it removed asap. If I get anywhere near the litter box, I'm headed for the nearest garbage can.

I'm sorry I'm not the only one!

Yea, we pulled out the driveway today & I turned on the cold air (forgot to press the a/c button for a minute) only to immediately gag -- it pulled in the lovely smell of someone's dog crap as we drove past. Yak. Luckily dh is used to this. I just point at things in the fridge & he removes them. I also have to pile trash in a spot on the counter some days as I cannot stand to open the bin. Urg.

Well, I was convinced that the cat box in my mother's laundry room needed serious cleaning, so mom cleaned it. It still smelled. The entire week I was visiting them. The smell leaked out into the family room and kitchen.

Then, we arrived at SIL's house. Her laundry room smelled just like cat pee, too. Except she does not have a cat. Apparently, clean laundry has taken on the smell of cat urine for me. How lovely.

I can't wait until the relative-visiting has ended, and I'm back to my unscented laundry products.

I have to walk in to my kitchen with my hand over my face while I mouth-breathe to try to filter the smells which no one else in my house can even remotely detect. I know there are good reasons for the pregnant woman to have such a friggin' keen sense of smell.... but UGH.. it's pretty hard to appreciate them.

I can literally smell a poopy diaper from across the house. Just today Ds pooped downstairs in the living room, and I here on the computer on the third floor could smell it.

I also have serious issues with the fridge, my garlic rope and cooking.

 

[seeing_stars]

My husband made an unidentified "seafood mix" that prompted me to puke 3 times even though I was in the other room. UGH.

 

[coffeetastesgood]

Oh dear lord... seafood would be BANNED in my house if we weren't already vegetarian... I was at the local farmer's market and almost lost my lunch walking by the seafood section.
Cassidy I would not be able to tolerate even the knowledge that there was a smoker in my house, let alone the microsmell that I know I too would be able to detect. Good luck with that. (Are you renting or is he your tenant?)

Poor DH can't eat anything smellier than plain bread these days without getting b--ched at. I can't stand the smell of EVERYTHING.

I gotta say, though, that poopy diapers are the worst. Every time DD poops, I hurl. This has been going on for a month and it sucks. DH is on vacation the next couple weeks, though, so I've officially delegated all poops to him. Poor DD-- I've been feeding her massive amounts of bananas hoping to constipate her a little bit, and that's terrible.

 

[MrsTC]

Yes, yes poopy or even wet diapers. Either ds's urine is getting more potent or I can smell it before it even comes out of his body. Erghp...

And the spirulina I take smells like fish, though dh can't detect it.

Being around cigarette smoke or smelling it on someone's clothes, barfola.

And I had to throw out some locally grown apples because they smelled rotten to me and it made me nauseous every time I opened the fridge.

Maybe we should hire ourselves out and give the drug-sniffing dogs a vacation...?

 

[colobus237]

He rents from us. I'm going to send my dh to politely request that he step outside to smoke. Or I'm going to evict him. I can't take it.

The worst for me is my dog's farts. She seems to know that I can't stand them and comes into the room, wherever I am, and farts right beside me! It is awful if I am in bed napping or trying to go to sleep b/c she will stand beside my bed and fart right at me...Urgh...
She is really being a brat and I think she can sense that something is changing and she won't be the "baby" of the house anymore...

 

[LydiaJW]

I was at my parents and my dad offered me some pickled herring. I had just enough time to give him a dirty look before running off to the bathroom for a major hurl-fest. And I barely got thru making DH a baloney sandwich for lunch the other day. Good thing our bathroom is right off the kitchen, haha.

 

[tika]

All scents set me off too, doesn't matter what it is.

I gagged my way through the grocery store today.

2yo DD is so sweet, she always asks me "Okay mommy?" meaning are you ok? She takes care of me when I do vomit too, bringing me a towel and patting my back. How does she know to do this? She has never vomited before.

I'm thankful that she poops in the potty, but I still have to sit in there while she does it and smell it then wipe her butt. Blech.

Oh girl you gave my dog ideas! She was snuggling with me on the couch and farted on me...I felt the wind and everything. I made her go lay on the floor and now she has her heiny pointed towards me and oh the smell is horrible!

Instead of a dog farting I have to deal with DH farting in his sleep. We have a box fan in our room and it never fails he farts towards the fan so it comes blowing back at me with vengeance. It got so bad the other night I slept on the sofa bed in the living room. His breath is also one for me. Also the other night I made fettuccine Alfredo for DH. I can't stand the stuff not pregnant. I made him do the dishes from it cause I thought I was going to die. My MIL smokes and I already nicely informed her that when she comes down next week there is no smoking in the house or around me.

 

[colobus237]

Oh man, I am

at the human and canine farting issues...sorry guys.
