Is there some medical condition that makes you smell pancakes?

[yvr girl]

Either my neighbour is on pancake diet - :shrug: - or my brain is playing tricks on me. Who eats pancakes for every meal for days?

[Clintmax]

1. Hey, I like hotcakes!

Don't know that I could eat them for every meal every DAY though! But they sure do SMELL good cooking, huh? Or do you not like the smell of them?

[yvr girl]

4. I like them just fine

It's just weird to always smell them.

[ScreamingMeemie]

2. Maple Syrup Urine disease...

[jpgray]

5. Holy shit, for a second I thought MrsGrumpy had made a crude joke

But this actually exists! :o

[ScreamingMeemie]

8. MrsGrumpy? Crude ?

Nevah!!!! ;)

[yvr girl]

13. it seems to be coming from outside

And sniffa doesn't live in the apartment above me, so it can't be urine. :evilgrin:

[ScreamingMeemie]

22. .

:rofl:


Have a wonderfully good night!

[havocmom]

3. Hmmm, preggers? Sense of smell and hearing get stronger for many

during that sort of condition :evilgrin:

I hate normal pancakes but buckwheat cakes... that's a different story. This thread is making me hungry, or maybe it's that I haven't eaten.

[yvr girl]

12. Not

Let's just say it would be a miracle.

[leftofthedial]

6. ihopititis

can cause that

the only known cure is a long treatment involving maple syrup compresses

[yvr girl]

14. I always order the Swedish pancakes myself

mmmm

[sasquatch]

7. Whenever I smell that I think someone's car is leaking antifreeze

[yvr girl]

19. Really. How odd.

What do you put in your pancakes? :scared:

[sasquatch]

31. Anti-freeze is sweet so that;s why you don't leave it out around pets

When it burns it smells like you're burning maple syrup.

[petronius]

9. Is it flapjacks, or griddlecakes?

flannel cake? Blini? Crepes? hotcakes?

[yvr girl]

15. Pancakes

that's what I call 'em

[Droopy]

10. You probably haven't been eating enough pancakes

They are a part of the Canadian food pyramid and are an essential part of every Canadian's diet.

[yvr girl]

16. I can't remember my last pancake

It's been months.

:cry:

[In_The_Wind]

11. gee whiz ...

not me or the parrots

[yvr girl]

18. You stole that from Will Pitt

I'm telling!

[In_The_Wind]

*giggle*

Pitt won't notice ...

he never reads any of my post ...

[yvr girl]

27. Yes, but he follows mine RELIGIOUSLY

You're toast.

[In_The_Wind]

28. as if ...

[yvr girl]

29. Are you forgetting that I caused Pitt to get himself banned?

He's afraid of me - really.

[In_The_Wind]

33. honestly ...

I had no idea ...

banned ? ? ?

WTF did you do ...

[yvr girl]

34. I teased him a bit about how he kicks threads

He replied so quickly (multiple times) that he was automatically banned.

If you're really interested, here are the links.

35. ah ha ... The March Hare!

now I see the full extent of the situation ...

however www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=105&topic_id=3958638&mesg_id=3958704 is a false accusation ~ I snagged the bunny from another DUer ...

other DUers have posted the bunny with the pancake since Easter of this year ...

[nickgutierrez]

17. I wouldn't call it a "medical condition", really...

I just call it "hunger". :)

[yvr girl]

20. Perhaps

but why always pancakes.

[Zuni]

21. pancake fever?

big-time killer back in the day. I thought the WHO eradicated it in the mid-1970s :shrug:

[yvr girl]

23. Oh, no!

I've never been vaccinated for it.

How long do I have?

[Zuni]

25. I'm no expert

but it is probably too late for the ER. :cry:

:hi:

[gmoney]

24. Log Cabin Fever

...prescription: eating pancakes, and of course, more cowbell.

[yvr girl]

26. I don't live in a log cabin

I do have hardwood floors though...maybe it will just be a mild case.

[gmoney]

30. Another lame joke from gmoney...

"Log Cabin" is a brand of pancake syrup, at least here in the states...
"Cabin Fever" is a term for anxiety brought upon by spending long periods indoors, as one might be when snowed into a cabin for weeks at a time...

Oh forget it. Here's something to change the subject:

[yvr girl]

32. I know what cabin fever is

I just assumed you were making a crack at my Canadian status. No worries.

[u4ic]

36. Epilespy can make one smell odd smells

I have a friend who knows she's about to have an attack when she smells burnt toast. Either that, or maybe your neighbour is moving and doesn't want to chuck out the pancake mix...

[yvr girl]

38. Don't freak me out

I was smelling a burning smell a few minutes ago.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

37. I don't know about any medical conditions that might cause this...

But there certainly are worse smells...

Just sayin'...my dear yvr girl......

:9

This is a LAME response, I know...but I truly could not think of anything else, and I did want to respond...

Sorry.... :shrug:

[yvr girl]

39. Well, you're a nurse

so you would know.

Maybe I will live.

[Jamastiene]

40. I can always diagnose a sinus infection if I smell daffodils unless

I'm actually holding or standing near some real daffodils. Honestly, I smell daffodils every time I get a sinus infection. I have one now. I don't mind it so much except for the headaches. The other symptoms are sort of offset by the smell of my favorite flower.

I have also heard that you can get cravings for certain nutrients (I'm not a health savvy person, so I don't know which ones) and you will smell food that has ingredients with those nurtrients. That's sort of an old wives tale, but probably is more valid than many would believe. I crave and smell steak when my iron gets low. I craved fruits when my potassium was low.

[u4ic]

41. I smell fish when I get a sinus infection

:puke:

[yewberry]

42. Brain tumor.

Also, the "shine."


(At least according to Stephen King.)

[Floogeldy]

43. "Passed out in the kitchen at Waffle Haus"

;)

[RayOfHope]

44. Fenugreek smells like syrup

Its used as a flavoring, can also increase milk supply in lactating mothers. I took it when working and pumping and always smelled like syrup-my sweat, my pee, you get the picture.

Is your neighbor lactating?

[yvr girl]

45. I would even bet money on guessing the sex of my neighbour.

I couldn't possibly say.
