I had a cousin who had surgery to lose weight. Can't remember what it was called, but I think they stapled part of the stomach. Every time he ate, it would straight throw him and he could not hold it back. It was the worst smell I have ever smelt, and it would go through the whole house before he even came out of the bathroom. Someone would say, "You can tell when (so and so) is in the house," and everyone would laugh, including him. As you said, nbspHenryM , she should not be offended. I am sure she knows it stinks just like my cousin did. Or maybe, as a commercial I saw said, she has become nose blind. When my cousin came to my house, I would spray after him. It helped some. Maybe her output is high, and she has to empty often and not just when her friend comes over. Ok, I will stop now.
