Oh man this is really bad I remember a long time ago - Mom and Dad had a dinner party one time. Well everything went well ... however after about a day or so.. we could smell NASTY stuff in the living room. Turns out that one of the kids, who did not want to eat anything that day, decided to stick a WHOLE plate of food under one of the couch cushions Disgusting ... eeeww

this has happened to me.. . its really disgusting!

too funny or should i say yucky! I have one for you.. when we were house hunting in Cleveland.. we really like one house. When the inspector came to inspect.. he said there seemed to be a weird smell coming from under the kitchen sink. He bent down and looked.. and pulled out a large bottle of cooking oil (missing a lid).. with a DEAD MOUSE floating inside it. MAN THAT was so GROOOOOSSSS

Okay this weekend I had some near misses with food - 1. popped a few almonds in my mouth only to realize they were bitter and terribly rancid.. YUCK 2. Left the half and half outside, forgot about it and then poured it into my coffee.. double YUCK 3. Found a piece of watermelon my son had hidden under his toy chest (dont ask) for a few weeks ago.. oh man.. terrible smell any other yuck stories out there???????

That is my fault. I could not find an accompanying pic so they did the best they could sorry! Will try for better pics next time
