Why is it call the 'dutch' oven? And why has that saying travelled the world - from bed to bed - from lousy partner to next :-)?
Even in NZ the saying is well known. What king of baking DO they do in Holland?
You don't do the "Dutch oven" on her, do you?!? (For those unfamiliar with the term, it is when your "loving" spouse thinks it's funny to rip one while you are in bed with him and then pull the blanket over your head, trapping you underneath with the stench!). Yah, txing toots are right up there with pregnancy ones!...URGH! :O ~MM
I’ve been post tx for well over 1.5 years and still blame on sx. I don’t think my wife is buying the excuse anymore. I tell her, unless you’ve been through it, you’ll never completely understand it. Now stop your complaining and pull my finger.
It's good to see you guys come out playing again. The laughter really kept us going. We were so so silly on tx. When I look back on the pain we had to go through, I'm so glad that we had the humor to pull us through it. It made tx 'doable'...
Love ya all...
An beware of the gases.... and the little aliens
Thanks Marcia for bringing back this thread. It made me cry with laughter late at night in the middle of tx'g and so very grateful that there were others around the world sharing my plight. I never thought I'd have good memories of tx, but you all on this site created many of them.
My family had to evacuate the lounge on more than one occasion last winter; and they were so very sweet about it - all opening the windows and leaving the lounge with grins on their faces, knowing that I was going through a hard time, and bringing humour into my embarrassment!!
at least you know there is nothing wrong with your sinuses...
A little old lady goes to the doctor and says, "Doctor I have this problem with gas, but it really doesn't bother me too much. They never smell and are always silent. As a matter of fact, I've passed gas at least 20 times since I've been here in your office. You probably didn't even know I was passing gas because they don't smell and are completely silent."
The doctor says, "I see. Tell you what, take one of these pills each morning and come back to see me next week."
So the week passes and the lady goes back. "Doctor," she says, "I don't know what the heck you gave me, but now when I pass gas, they are still quite silent, but they stink just terribly."
The doctor says, "Good!!! Now that we've cleared up your sinuses, let's work on your hearing."
So glad this thread has been resurrected. Seriously, farting was one of my biggest symptoms when I had the virus! Nasty, vile ones. And I especially recall it during my acute phase. On treatment it actually improved and since treatment it has diminished significantly. In fact, I feel like a normal person these days. "Normal people' apparently 'break wind' approximately 8 times per day! Where they got that figure from I don't know but there are studies on everything to do with the human body and it's processes...
Boy, we sure do get up, close and personal around here!
Shew, then I must be responsible for the destruction of hundreds of livers in SoFL while I was on tx. I'm still trying to forgive my co-workers for stampeding and trampling me to get to the bathroom first when they saw me with the key.
That's a frightening thought. You're right, though, that was the theory. Now I'm scared to sleep without a gas mask ;^)

Maybe you wouldn't be joking around so much if you remembered what one member said about odors and the liver. To paraphrase: If you smell it your liver has to detoxify it.
Am I the only one who remembers that? It was scary - what with all the foul wind during TX. I haven't see that on the list of negative predictors yet but I assume we will soon. Please go outside on those occasions and spare your liver......and the livers of those nearby.

I don't know nuthin' about birthin' no aliens miss marcia.
I thought this thread died an honorable death last year. Just smelled that way, I guess.
Just yell, "Fire in the Hole!" Anyone that sticks around after that gets what they deserve.
OMGoodness.....this is what makes/made MH what it is/was. Does that make sense?
Funny that we were talking about those dame lab goggles I was so proud of dorkifying.
Farts are now replaced with burps here at 6 weeks post tx, in case anyone was interested.
LOL! (really I was...ya know...lol)

oops, right.... wouldn't want one of them aliens flying around... ewwww
Its all fun and games until someone gets hurt!
definitely a symptom. My theory is that the riba is so strong that it kind of works like a thorough colon cleanse. It's like cleaning pipes with caustic soda. It loosens all the 'centuries' old krap deposits on the walls of the intestines.... and there the moster is unleashed.... And thats when the sh1t hits the fan....
Is this really a symptom?, Now I have an excuse for killing my wife!
Yeah, right. The farters always think it's funny - the fartees are less amused.
We haven't had fun here for quite a while.... Here is a crazy thread for you people treating at the moment needing a laugh. It's always good for the soul and mind....
We had so much fun with this one.
Ummm-think sonic boom and sulphur! LOL!!
OMG.... did I wake you up? Was it THAT loud and smelly????
Sorry about that...
Marcia
LOL!!!
Yeah, I was just thinking last night after an elevator incident that this isn't the typical "ladies" thread!!
Marcia: add beets and potato salad to that list!! :-0
