How funny! Just a couple of years ago you loved my posts about the
Clydesdale horses. Ever since I said I think a certain poster is an
idiot I turned into one of the vicious and vile. Your definition, of
course, is the only one that applies.

I'm so glad Ophelia acknowledged the "us" companionship with Bruce. I
really do skip over most of the Ophelia & Bruce Show. They're
constantly patting each other on the back pretending they aren't
criticizing other posters. It's humourous.

Not sure about Febreeze, but there are some sprays that actually
eliminate the odor, not cover it up, You have not residual odor.

Fabreeze was initially marketed as a product that reduces odor. It
didn't do very well, so they started adding scents to it.

Instead of using baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) - or in addition to
the baking soda, try some charcoal briquettes. Put two or three
charcoal briquettes on a paper plate or small, shallow bowl and place in
the fridge in an open area. The carbon will be much more effective to
'soak up' the noxious odors in quick time. HTH.

I can't imagine stomaching straight baking soda and I get really bad
reflux. Question though, did it help? I'm mostly ok as long as I don't
forget even a day of taking prilosec or one of the others. I have to mix
it up when one stops working.

Aside from servicing, put vinegar in a wide bowl. Set inside running.

Are you sure about that?

All those listed have a similar purpose & function.

I am very sure. It is an antihistamine and of course advertises for hay
fever too. I have some in my meds atm, it helps with my asthma.

Look he

Please explain about the other drugs? What are they for and what do they do?

Could they change a personality?

I doubt that chlorpromazine will assist with your asthma. It might
assist you in not giving a rats about 'having' asthma but it certainly
won't do anything 'for' the asthma.

Some posters here might find the chlorpromazine medication useful for
their conditions however. Of that I am sure! ;-)

Yes, that's a great suggestion. Years ago a man who worked in the
same area as me went on vacation for three weeks and flipped the
switch on the mains in his house before leaving. Trouble was, since
the last time he had added a freezer.

When they came home the place reeked. The freezer was imbued with the
smell and someone suggested buying bags of charcoal, opening and
putting in the freezer. It did the trick and eliminated the smell.

The udder day I smelled something *stanky* in my fridge (no it wasn't
some dead pussy neither). I couldn't figgure out what it wuz, but I
didn't like it. So, early this morning I gots up and found a plastic
container of refries. Gawd! That was it. So ends another mystery from
Refrigerator Firesign Teatro.
Amen.

Amazing how much a simple on-topic post can be manipulated into such a
shit-fest by the usual shit starters. Practically everythign bruce
says here is meant to incite, none of which is ever about cooking. He
just goes around pressing everyone's "Manipulate" button.

Seems like every time someone does post a food related post, it's attacked by
the usual suspects and always turns into a *shit-fest* many times started by
you, so what else is new? Dolt.

No, not yet and I'm not sure I have one that will fit. I might
(carefully) try an air compressor when I get time, that should clear
any blockage out.

Oh, I'll pass on the Febreeze then. I hate stuff that does that.

At this point the only thing left to do is clean the drain pipe
itself, everything else (including tray) has been checked and cleaned.

Something like that might be okay if you're fabulously rich and can
afford to have it dealt with, it's not something I would do unless
rich. Doing something like that is just begging for the fridge to
fail...

A friend did suggest charcoal. I forgot about that actually, so
thanks. I don't have actual briquettes but there's plenty of charcoal
in the fire.

That's pretty impressive. I've known of freezers and eskis (aka
coolers?) where stuff was left in them and went bad, there was
seemingly no way to get the smell out of the plastic, no matter how
much you cleaned them.

Thanks Greg. I'll try some charcoal first and if that fails, I'll try
vinegar. The smell isn't all /that/ bad, it's only subtle and I do
have a very keen sense of smell, others might not even notice it. But
it's something likely to get worse, and not get better over time.

So since you know the outcome, just make sure you don't miss taking the
med! That sounds like a very painful illness, not digesting anything.
Be well.

Are you suggesting he's a she? I guess his tits are big enough for
someone to make that mistake.

My way to prepare fish is to pan fry it. I hardly have to tell you all,
accomplished cooks, how to do that. But is it bad to be here and learn
stuff? These days, I'm trying ideas for beans, maybe mainly coming from
the Americans here, since they're neighbours of the Mexicans.
I've already experimented successfully with refried beans and I'm still
going to do something Cuban with black beans, that sf posted.

As is clear from the stuff you quoted above, this had nothing to do with
Jill until SHE pressed MY and Ophelia's buttons.

I don't deny criticising other posters. Where did you get that crazy
idea?
