| Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 16766028 12/22/2012 12:58 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I tried that...this is what I wrote. Dear Florence, You smell a bit whiffy_infact, you stink of piss to be quite Frank and I implore you to get a wash and pay particular attention to your dribbly bits. Lots of love, your neighbour, Dolly Cussins. This was my big mistake because Granny was livid and walked out of the house with her cardigan sleeves rolled up. The next thing I knew, she was rolling about in the street with Dolly, pulling at each others wispy hair and launching punches into each others face. I went to drag them apart but the piss smell was so severe, that I fainted and cracked my head on the road and was rushed to hospital. When I awoke from my coma, I found out that Granny and Dolly were up at court and were both fined almost 2 weeks pension money, each and now they won't speak to each other. All because of me. |

You'll just have to be more vigilant in washing her clothing and possibly letting it soak prior to cleaning. It's also possible that some of the clothing will smell regardless and it will need to be trashed and replaced. Natural fiber clothing such as cotton are easiest to clean - unlike polyester that tends to smell clean for a moment and then it reeks right away. There are some people who won't clean after themselves as they age. It's natural and that's why they need help -as if they were children again. Good luck op. |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 30462411 12/22/2012 01:01 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | My Granny is 91 years old and quite active for her age and I help her out a lot, fixing things and stuff like that. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 16766028 She offers me cooked breakfasts and sandwiches as I'm doing the work but I can't eat them and I'm always pretending I've eaten or I have a bad stomach. The reason for this is, she absolutely stinks of strong ammonia , nose burning piss and it makes me gag. I want to let her know that she reeks but I can't find the right words to tell her. Any advice would be welcome because I can't keep refusing her meals and sandwiches as it hurts her feelings. Take her to the airport every morning and let the TSA change her. They will rifle through her diapers then they will be obligated to replace the soggy bottom with a fresh pair. Maybe she will even find the process enjoyable herself. |

Quoting: Water Flower The thing is, she's very intelligent but doesn't look it, as she looks like an old bag lady, she still has all her own tooth. I took her shopping for a full clothing rig out(all plastic) but she said she felt uncomfortable in them and when she dribbled, it went up her back and everywhere. She's a good cook and I would eat her food, if she washed her hands, but she doesn't and says, "when I was a child, we played in mud and urine and horse poo and it was good for the immune system." I can understand what she's saying, it's just that I can't stand the thought of Granny hairs and urine in my sandwiches. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 30553351 make sure she stay's in the water at least 8 hours She's always had a fear of water, ever since her friend, when they were young, nearly drowned in a lake. I suppose I could dupe her and say it's just a slide. You know, sort of blind fold her and say, "it's ok Granny, it's just a slide", then when I get her up there, I can just give her a nudge. Good idea this. |

The air stewardesses looked in the toilets and said it was fine, then realised the smell was coming from Granny, so they walked her down the aisle but in doing so, told all the passengers that it was Granny who was stinking the plane out. They then sprayed her with disinfectant of some sort, then made her spend the rest of the trip in a small compartment on her own. |
