I am experiencing a strange phenomenon in my bedroom. It happened about the same time last year also, then mysteriously disappeared for a time. At the foot of my bed, close to the wall there is a horrible stink. I catch a whiff of it, then try really hard to sniff out the culprit. I have even had my dad come in here and sniff around, but the stink eludes him every time. I have lots of candles, and I use wallflowers from Bath & Body works (they are glorified glade plug-ins). When people come into my room I generally get compliments on how good it smells in here, but my victory is hollow because I know the stink still lurks..... The way I see it, there are only 2 possible answers as to the source of the terrible smell. 1- it is some kind of dead animal in the wall. 2- it is my imagination. I do have impaired smelling abilities. I am only able to smell out of my right nostril. It's true. A few weeks ago I did here something scratching around in the walls of my bedroom. Or maybe it was in the attic. I'm deaf in one ear too, so I don't hear in stereo. I have a hard time telling where sounds are actually coming from. The point is that maybe somewhere relatively close to my bedroom an animal died in the walls or ceiling, and that would explain the smell. Presumably another animal died last year, causing the stink back then. Where's Nancy Drew when you need her......
Now that I got that off of my chest I can move on to more pressing matters. I had one of those sweet, earnest, heart-to-heart chats with my dad today. It went something like this:
"Dad, do you think that when guys look at me they think I'm cute, or do they just think that I'm fat?" Reply: "No, I'm sure they think you're cute. Anyway, you're not so fat that you're repulsive." If you are looking to have your ego stroked, don't go to my dad. If you want the hideous, unabashed truth he's your guy. I laughed so hard, then threw my hot dog in the trash and grabbed a Slim-Fast.
I bought this really cute teapot on clearance today. It was super cheap because it's missing it's lid. I ran by WalMart and bought a $2 house plant and I'm going to use the teapot as a planter. Clever me.

Oh my gosh. That made me LMAO. I'm sorry you have a funky smell and even more sad that it might be from a rotting animal in your wall. I think you are a cute cute girl and not even close to fat!! I can tell you a little (or a lot) about being fat!! So just love and accept yourself the way you are and so will others!
your great! not that this will comfort you, but its prob a dead rat or something. my friend had the same incident in her apartment & that was her outcome.
My sink has that bad smell and I know there is no dead animal coming from down there. I'm always pouring something down the drain to rid the smell. Mostly baking soda and vinagar. That helps but a few days later her comes the smell again, I've tried lemons, bleach, and fabuloso and several other things. Good luck in finding your source.
My vote is a dead rat (maybe you can call it Joey?? What? everyone else was thinking it...).
I think the brutal honesty is a Judd trait, Nate never has to think twice when I ask him how I look.
