Oh baby.

 

I get myself invited to this restaurant for free food and to witness an artist from Venezuela's work; they invite a band, JUST FOR ME -- except I don't know about it. So I call in to cancel tonight's event, today, because some things are on my agenda and then they tell me: "we've brought in a band, just for you" and I say, "s***." How can I cancel? I can't; so I've got to go.

What kind?

 

 

The kind that may come from water in the basement? No nasty water (no pump back up) but clean water from the water heater. The carpet was a little wet in one area back in May. It dried up and we had the carpet cleaned but all of a sudden there is this highly offensive order - that apparently only my super duper pregnancy nose can detect - that is driving me nuts. I am this/close to forcing Jim to rip open the walls to see if something died in there.

Mold tends to smell musty/earthy/mildew-like.

Sent from a friend of mine

 

Yesterday I was buying a large bag of Purina dog chow for Athena the wonder dog at Wal-Mart and was about to check out.[/color]

 

 

A woman behind me asked if I had a dog. What did she think I had, an elephant? So since I'm retired, with little to do, on impulse, I told her that no, I didn't have a dog, and that I was starting the Purina Diet again.

 

 

I said I probably shouldn't, because I'd ended up in the hospital last time, but that I'd lost 50 pounds before I awakened in an intensive care ward with tubes coming out of most of my orifices and IVs in both arms.

 

 

I told her that it was essentially a perfect diet and that the way that it works is to load your pants pockets with Purina nuggets and simply eat one or two every time you feel hungry and that the food is nutritionally complete so I was going to try it again.

 

 

(I have to mention here that practically everyone in the line was by now enthralled with my story.)

 

 

Horrified , she asked if I ended up in intensive care because the dog food poisoned me. I told her no; I stepped off a curb to sniff an Irish Setter's butt and a car hit us both.

 

 

I thought the guy behind her was going to have a heart attack, he was laughing so hard!

 

 

WAL-MART won't let me shop there anymore!!!

It's not quite that. I can't put my finger on it. And of course no one else can smell it. :lol:

 

As you have no doubt noticed all your senses are heightened. :D

 

You may try a dehumidifier. You could also call out a mold remediation company like Service Master or Serv Pro. We have seen plenty of this in Texas. Good news is your home owners policy probably covers it.
