totally of topic; a death mouse!

Post by harma »

I just got rid of a death mouse, all by myself. Is that something special than, you may think. Yes in my case it is, consider me as a mice phobic (even when they are death, although the best mouse is a death one). I was walking up on my stairs, at once my gaze was drawn to something under a closet in my bedroom.

No, it can't be, yes it is. A mouse. It was a real challenge, also it helped that both my neighbors were not at home (normally I asked them). And I am not going to sleep tonight with death animals in my bedroom.

And you what is funny, they are not that scary as I thought they were. I am extremely proud of myself today!

I mean a dead mouse (not alive anymore), not a death mouse, it is not you, it is me, a stupid not native dutch girl grammar mistake, sorry. I am so afraid of mice that even a dead one can freak my out.

I'm proud of you! I would not be able to get rid of a dead mouse. I hope you don't have to deal with any more.

But I didn't touch it!!! I used gloves and other "equipment" that I could remove it, without touching it. Rats, oh that is waaaaaaaaay to far at the moment, waaaaaaay to far.

He shirley where of from whom you got that quote "be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle". I ask this because I know somebody else who uses this message to in her emails (as kind of signature). Just funny seeing it twice in one month.

harma,

I can't remember where I got it. I think it may have been part of an e-mail sent to me and I really liked that line but it didn't have an author's name or anything. The line was part of a "message" is about all I can remember about it.

Wish I could answer your question better.

I had it here for quite a while. Probably be changing it soon. :grin:

Harma, you make me laugh and reminded me of something that happened to me a few years ago. One of our rabbits was missing and I was digging in the garden and dug him up! Apparently our dog had put him there. I still haven't recovered. JoAnn
