Dealing with the mice is hard. A couple of years ago, the last time I had a mouse problem, I3 offered to come over and empty my traps for me. I kinda scoffed at him and said I could handle it... but really, it was just to keep myself from jumping at the offer. He probably doesn't even remember it, but it was the first thing that popped into my head when I heard the first trap go off... "I could just call Nate, and he'd take care of it..." But I won't let myself do that. I will be an adult, and deal with things I don't like.
Um, to an extent. The last time there was a dead, half-eaten thing in my yard my dad was coming over later that day anyway, so I left it and asked him to take care of it.
Anyway, I can emphasize with you to an extent... mice are not my worst thing, I have other little tics that I deal with. For the most part, I remain a well-functioning member of society. But sometimes I do need to remove myself to my little space where I control everything and stay there and not let anyone in. I've done all my remodeling work myself with my family's help, and that is including ripping walls out. Partially because it's a lot cheaper, but also because this way I get exactly what I want and I don't have to let strangers in.
Anyway, I hope you win the Extreme Make-over thing. You deserve it.

What a coincidence, ElJay! . . . . . . . . . . . . I haven't worn anything as small as a thong in at least a decade.

I read on this forum a long while ago that it was possible to acquire thongs that say "Democracy is Sexy" or perhaps "Voting is Sexy". Does anyone know where to find such things? I'm thinking about getting one for my GF as a joke (not that I mind if she wears it ).

"Democracy is Sexy" thongs were distributed for free during the last Canadian election by the Edmonton-based group Apathy is Boring, IIRC. If I'd had a girlfriend I would have done my utmost to get her one

Maybe if you wore a thong while you raked, those good Methodists would be too embarassed to talk to you.
