I know; I'm screwed in the head.

I'm just a really private person when it comes to personal grooming.

You know, I bet if you could see inside his head, he thinks you're just as pretty BEFORE you do all you think you have to do to be pretty.

I am an English lady

I am home alone (but usually in a house full of men)

Letting rip without a care in the world is quite liberating (although the cat did give me a filthy look)

No bodily emission can compare to that of our dog... After that, it's all sweet as roses

I remember the first time he farted in front of me... I could tell that he was embarrassed, so I just pretended not to hear it. I know he has tummy troubles and I didn't want him to feel bad.

Now when we do yoga we fart regularly... Hubby calls it "progress". I still get embarrassed, but he doesn't comment on it, so I don't feel as bad. Especially in the "wind relieving" position - it's SUPPOSED to help you pass gas... LoL!!!

My ex tho - we did everything together. No shame in it, either. Except the dutch ovens - I'm okay never experiencing one of those again!!!!

I play a trombone out of my ass when I am asleep and as soon as I wake up. It comes from being relaxed as we sleep. Probiotics greatly diminish farts, but they do not take them away completely. My multivitamin has probiotics in it and I also take capsules.

I will forever be grateful to my friend That_Girl for the advice-I used to pop off like a gun! It was so humiliating because I was raised to think that women should never pass gas. I wasn't allowed to do that around my father. The kids in my family couldn't even say the word fart! Psycho West Indian parenting...

Dog and cat farts are the worst. Thankfully, my lil kitten hasn't started farting yet. At least, not around us.

Separate bathrooms are the key to marital bliss

Oh, humanbecoming, I have a story for you. I had a beloved German Shepherd, but she did have her farty nights. I had a blind date, once, many years ago, back when we weren't so careful about these things. It was actually arranged by an ad in the paper, if you can believe that. Anyway, the gentleman arrived at my home, we sat in my carefully cleaned parlor for a glass of wine, and my GSD proceeded to deliver the most SBDs I've ever witnessed.

I never saw him again, which was fine. Maybe she was like a gatekeeper???

Yeah, that's disgusting. I understand needing to fart, and I don't think someone should be forced to hold it in until they're suffering with cramps, but farting in someone's face? That's a different matter.

Oh, Shy, he would purposely seek me out to do it. Like I could be reading my email and he'd come up and ...Poof. Lol. Even when I would tell him repeatedly that is grossed me and was disrespectful.

Sometimes I think it's amazing I didn't leave him sooner. Haha.

That is HILARIOUS!

Wifes friend and her boyfriend are in from out of town. Yestetrday Boyfriend and her are sitting on the opposite couch from me. little beast of a dog settles down, so hops up on his lap, and eventually went to sleep. A few minutes later he jumps up, spilling the dog off his lap.... Wifes friend gets hit with the smell, she jumps up too. He looks at me and says "I thought it sh¡t on me!

Oh good lord, I'm laughing so hard I'm crying here just re telling it!

We both like our bathroom privacy unless we are showering together.

I realised I inappropriately 'liked' your last post

I didn't mean to, it was a reflex - that is absolutely disgusting !

Haha. I was thinking "Why on earth did Dolly 'like' that comment?... but then I read the last sentence of my post and figured that's the part you were "liking" which made me smile.

I can roll with the punches when jokes are flying around about it, but deliberate disrespect like what Jellybeans described, and what I dealth with, disgusts me.

I don't find dutch ovens funny and if dh did it to me in bed or any other time, I would be angry. It's no different than any other form of disrespect someone would show you.
Preach!
