Good news, the sun returneth!!
Bad news. We have a dead mouse somewhere in the back bedroom. This is the room that harbors 5 year old national enquirers and readers digest. It is clutter spelled disaster, like going into a CSI episode. And guess who gets to tear this room apart? Here dead mousie mousie. Anyone else live with a pack rat? I found the daily Oklahoman from 9/12/01 thru 9/15/01. Who keeps these things?? Geo. Bush had his texas panties in a scrunch-bunch that week. |

Need a jacket and shades... Awesome. ![]() Redbird you have my sympathy. We had a mouse problem out in CA because we lived right next to vineyards...even with two cats we couldn't keep up! Had one that was rude enough to die in our den. We could smell it and we searched for DAYS trying to figure out where it was... even turning the furniture upside down! Turned out to be INSIDE the Love Seat in the stuffing. *yuck* |

LR, can you come over and tear my house apart? I have taken the bed out, and found 20 pairs of shoes and boxes of packing peanuts that we MIGHT need.
![]() I am taking a break and going to mass. |

Do I ever know the pack rat syndrome. No magazine can ever be thrown away. I have cupboards I can't open because there is so much stuff stacked in front of them. I have just learned to accept that which I cannot change.

Same here. My wife doesn't throw ANYTHING away. I have to sneak stuff out to the garbage. She never misses it because she just likes to keep everything! Grrrr!

My wife and I are both a little packratty...
![]() (Not as bad as I've heard described here, but, still... But we'll be getting rid of most of our stuff before going to OK. (Only irreplaceable stuff will be coming with us.) We'll have to... We have 2,000 sq.ft. now, and it's all filled up. ![]() We probably won't have that much space in OK... Also, I want things sparse and neat so creepy crawlies can't hide from our kitties.

Anybody looking to trade some old National Enquirer's for something? I filled 3trash bags within 20 minutes of starting the deadmouse hunt. After I found the mouse in a vent, I stopped for a rest and FOUND MR. PACKRAT at it again.
Uncle Don found one of the trash bags I had set aside and was going thru it!!! He, the packrat, salvaged: a 5 yr old christmas candle (cinammon) shaving lotion, that I got him last christmas a book on canaries, he raises canaries a gift of handkerchiefs that we got last xmas (who uses handkercheifs anymore?) a small travel sized hand lotion ? we have a kajillion different kinds already some weird thing you put on your lightbulb to scent the entire room. Some battles are not worth fighting, so I took the german shepherd for another walk. He saves everything... why, I don't know. |

You would not believe how much crap is here. Plus we have all his mom's stuff. God bless her soul, she was a little 4'11" dynamo. Pure Irish and hard working hands like you would not believe. That's where he gets his compulsiveness from. In the old days, I guess you kept everything because someday you might need it. |

We had the mouse problem in Ca. too, and we also had some possums come in through the dry exhaust vent. We lived next to an abandon Dairy. |
