Dear Miss Pearl,
I’ve been married to a wonderful man for almost forty years. Thirty-six of those were extremely happy, but the last four have been miserable. I feel like I’ve been deceived…my sweet, loving, proper husband, who wouldn’t say a word about flatulence, has now become a human gas machine, complete with sound effects. He can be sound asleep even and it smells so bad it wakes me up. Sometimes when he gets out of a chair, I can hear him tooting clear in the next room. He refuses to discuss this and acts like he is almost proud of it. Do you think I have a right to be mad?
Sincerely,
Gasping for Air
Dear GFA,
Well that just stinks!!! They have some over-the-counter medications for that or maybe try to pinpoint a specific food that is causing it. I mean I’m not saying you shouldn’t be mad, but you could start a local chapter of Gastric Disturbances Anonymous and at least have some people to sound off to before your happy household explodes!
Sending good ‘Scents’ your way,
Miss Pearl
