Re: Gross Out (Not for the faint of heart redux)

I attended a sold out theatre production this afternoon. Just
before curtain, a woman came and took one of the last open
seats, which was to my right. She said, "Hello," and I turned
towards her and ...
... got a huge whiff of what smelled like cigarette smoke and
urine.
Nowhere to move to.
Every time something happened on stage left (to my right) I had
to take a deep breath before turning my head in her direction.

I had some clam chowder at a fancy restaurant that is known for
it. It came with clams in shells on top of the bowl. I ate some
chowder, picked a couple of clams out of the shells, then picked
up one that did NOT appear to have a clam inside, just a pile of
black goop. Yuk. I spent that night sleeping fitfully, wondering
if I would be sick. I wasn't, but I was certainly off my feed
for about 24 hours just thinking about it.

I never thought I would have anything to add to this thread,
because I guess I am fairly successful at avoiding gross! But I
got a Facebook message from a friend who had to go help repair a
horse that gouged itself in the chest somehow, and she sent a
picture of it! She's a ranch gal and it's everyday stuff for
her, but us city gals on the group chat were all "ew!!!" (I do
live in the country, but in the civilized part... LOL!)

That reminds me of the day I spent at a Test Match: sitting next
to a guy in a beautifully-ironed shirt...
Which clearly hadn't been near a washing machine in a while. :o
There's something about the smell of stale, ironed-in sweat that
is particularly memorable*. ::)
* We occasionally invited a solo player to join our quiz team
(many moons ago); he also wore ironed-but-not-washed shirts. :-\
Used to make me so sad - having standards [ironing], but being
so poor that he couldn't afford to eat sometimes [hence the not
spending money at the laundrette]. At least we could order a
few bowls of chips and let him "share" without offending him.
[As in "lion's share".]

But... one can always wash things in the sink! Women would, I
don't know why men won't.

I woke up in the middle of the night and needed to use the
toilet. On my track to the bathroom, I stepped, full foot (for I
have small feet), in cold, wet cat vomit. I continued on my
journey hopping on one foot...

It's amazing how the 'feeble'* female brain can come up with
stuff like that and yet not overheat, isn't it? ;)
* I studied too much Victorian history, I think; coupled with
this being the 100th Anniversary of (some) women getting the
vote in the UK, I think it may have made me snippier than
necessary!

At least you were heading for the bathroom anyway? ;)

I've reached the 'hacking cough' stage of my cold, now every
cough is preceded by the 'do I have to pee?' question!! So far,
the majority of coughs have been executed whilst on the loo,
just in case!

Our late cat Matt indisputably gave a rat's ass.
Neatly laid out on the office rug.
GOOOOD morning!
Among his many other rodent trophies was a largish mouse, very
creatively carved. Of COURSE my bare foot found it as I walked
into that same office, early by my standards and semiconscious,
second cup of coffee in hand. I'm not sure I can describe the
cold and squish-slippery sensation, but when I looked down, my
foot was precisely over the emptied middle of the mouse and I
saw mouse forequarters on one side and mouse hindquarters on the
other. A very badly-designed house shoe? A mousetrap where the
trap was the mouse and I was the trappee? Matt must've bribed
some lesser but precise god to pull that off.
Oh, and pulling the de-parted mouse off was the second high
point of the moment.
