what smells worse then....

Skimmate pulled from a tank full of cycling rock??

Only thing that I can compare that was as bad actually a bit worse, ok alot worse.... was a 7 day old carcass of a horse in the middle of 100 plus tempatures sitting on our back lot of the old large animal hospital I used to work at - waiting for the rendering company to pick it up....

that'll make you need to puke.

Whats the stinkyest think you've ever had the pleasure of smelling???

Recently, my wet schnauzer who rolled in fox poop. Maybe it's just because I'm pregnant, but man that was bad. It stayed in my nose for days!

We keep our dog in his cage when we go to work. Last weekend he got in the trash and ate some chicken bones. A couple days later he was having poop problems. He pooped in his cage and ate it. We got home later that evening, and just in time, let him outside and then let him in to give him a bath. He then started throwing up in the bath tub. He was throwing up his poop. That, mixed with stomach acid and also mixed with wet dog and shampoo, was one of the worst smells I have ever smelled. Worse THAN skimmate, skunk, smooshed racoon. YUCKPUKE...

When your snake poops on you, it's about the worst thing ever. Smells beyond reason and it's on you.

There is nothing that I could possibly give you that could come close to honoring that experience.

You my friend, deserve a medal.

Oust barely took care of it in most of the rooms and I didn't want to spray near the tanks so had to bear it as much as possible in there.

On that note, I'd rather change Dusty's diaper than clean the skimmer, and the hubby would rather do the opposite. I guess we really were meant for each other....

At the risk of sounding crass, an 8 day old corpse in a sealed apartment in August in Chicago w/ no A/C.

I had a nieghbor whose cat decided to mark the back of his desk. The only way to make the desk usable was to cut off the offending area and replace it. The only smell worse than the cat pee, was the burning cat pee smell created by the jigsaw as it cut through the wood.

I have also had the pleasure of finding a suicide in one of the houses we were going to remodel. Middle of summer, no ac going. He must have been there for atleast a few days.

Other than that, microwave pop corn

A few years ago after changing my daughter's diaper I decided not to put it in the pail but take it out the rubbish bin. By the time I got there I had been overcome by the stench and had to hurl in the bushes.

After that was the way the Little Boy stunk up the bathroom last night.

See what you have to look forward to Shana.
