Title: Wind machine
Post by: Joyce on May 28, 2016, 09:35:16 PM
Anyone else windier than they used to be. My daughter says old ladies have similar problem. Am I that old already? Surely hormones can't be to blame for this, or can they?  ;D

Oh Yes Cubagirl, me too.  ;D
I blame it on getting older & the dreaded hormones.
Mind you I suffer from IBS also which again I put down to getting older & hormones.
Oh what is going to come next that I will be blaming the meno on?

Billy Connelly said that once you are over 60, you should never trust a fart! Oh dear.....occasionally he's right! ::)

Cubagirl I read the title of your post 'wind machine' and I seriously thought to myself that it must be  a new invention to cool ladies with hot flushes down! So funny when I read the rest of your post 😁 xc

So glad it isn't just me.  Wind machine would be good for flushes mind you!   ;D

As for Billy Connolly, he is occasionally right. He has a way of making fun of the ageing process, well we have to.

Yes, I can be very antisocial.  My granddaughter thinks it is hilarious but I really really don't do it on purpose.  Sometimes I don't get that warning feeling, it just rips!!  :-[  But they never smell it's just like my bum vibrates  :whist:

Babyjane your reply reminds me of the dr joke about the patient who goes to the GP saying exactly what you just said and the GP says I will book you in for sinus surgery  ;D ;D

Are you absolutely sure they don't smell or just don't smell to you :P

the noisy ones don't seem to or the dog would react  ::), the silent ones do.  I do use probiotics and I think that helps and I don't eat processed foods either so that may also help but it doesn't seem to reduce the wind!

I do find that wheat based products can make it all worse so I keep away from those as much as possible.

My lactose intolerance causes some of my problems, when I've inadvertently had something with lactose. But it's not always the case. I've got no pet to blame, oh wait I have, it's hubby!  ;D

Yep, me too. Wheat plays havoc with my stomach and sugar too.
I now have gluten free bread and I'm trying to cut sugar out of my diet as much as possible.
If I eat grapes :o

There's an "instrument" called a wind machine, used to produce sounds of wind in an orchestral composition or in a theatrical production.  I thought you meant that, until I read on........ ;D

Not sure any orchestra would have me Dulciana, too many flats & sharps.   ;D

I thought 'wind machine' as in testing aeroplanes. Heads in the clouds at the moment.

That's what F1 use to test their new designs ain't it  :-\  ::)

The anal spinster can become lax allowing wind out when maybe it should remain in  :-X.  When I walk, if I laugh, when I bend …………  :(

Yes I'm definitely a lot windier than I used to be. It's always at night though, so I put it down to eating a lot of veggies at dinner time. At least I'm just noisy, not smelly. I'm just glad it's only the cats that are around to experience it...
