CBC, I have an unreasonable fear that teaspoon sized mice will invade my bed and nibble on my toes. What should I do?

  That's actually not unreasonable, given the extent to which the mice have made themselves at home.
  I don't know if they would bite your feet, and in your situation I would have freaked out long ago and
  called the landlord.  I know you don't trust the handyman, but even if he helps himself to food, at least
  he won't leave droppings all around ... right?  :orly:   I do sympathize, it is an unpleasant problem.

So, Wolfish should keep the handyman instead of the mouse?  That's assuming the he's a hunk, not a chunk.

The viruses the handyman does carry will all be transferable to humans. With mice that is different.

the handyman reeks of alcohol and stale cigarette smoke (i think he gets his smokes from others' leavings). he also uses the bathroom when he's here but doesn't wash his hands (i heard the toilet flush but no running water in the sink), and who knows what he puts his hands on in the refrigerator. once when we came back we found mayonnaise missing. we couldn't tell about the bread and meat, but i tossed the meat. he wears clothing that can only be described as skeevy. his shoes are another color from the tan (i think) they used to be. i'm sure he carries lots of things worse than the hantavirus.

I'm so bored, and CBC isn't posting anything on I2 so there's nothing to read.
Should I send her a goldfish? What should I do?

I moved suburbs a year and a half ago. We used to get huntsman spiders occasionally. There was always at least one around. (I used to call them Harry. occasionally we'd get another and I would call them Barry. So sometimes Barry and Harry cruising around.) Its been a year and a half and no Harry or Barry. We get dandy long leg spiders, but they are meh.

We are not allowed pets. There is a cat that we pat down the road occasionally but I liked having huntsman spiders around to walk past and see where they were and say "G'day Harry"

So...how do I fill this void?

  Why aren't you getting any huntsmen around anymore?  Is someone in the neighborhood using

It is the strangest thing.
I think different spiders have different haunts. I saw a redback here and it was the first one I had seen for literally over a decade but they are everywhere in Western Australia.
Huntsman Spiders are usually not that feisty. I like walking past and seeing them motionless somewhere and saying "G'day Harry" No need to feed, pet or bug them. Ultimate low maintenance pet.

Hello CBC

I do not have a shotgun but i think the slingshot will do brilliantly. but for some reason i anticipate that my partner will be upset. i plan to invite her to use her slingshot as well, but i think she doesn't know where she put hers. i'm not sure i should buy a shotgun. wouldn't a hunting rifle be better? then i could hunt the fat mouse i found in my room last night with only minimal damage to the house.

On the other hand she could have one of those fortune telling things the girls used to play with and just say yes, no, maybe or ask later. Or maybe she just wants to post in peace without provocation. Maybe we shouldn't bother her.

Ahh, but - the Weeble of Fortune! how could I turn that down?

^That's how my kids think it's done.

  My mother would have sympathized with you, in her day.  :P

Any parent would.

  I sympathize with parents in general these days.  My mother had a lot of stress in her life.  :apondering:

  I'm truly glad that my life circumstances kept me out of contention for motherhood
   while I was too young to know better.  I've had only a very few moments of melancholy about it.  8)

I wouldn't have it any other way now, but I wonder if the parents of this world would agree if given the choice.

  I've heard that a lot of parents have kind of mixed feelings, that as much as they love their kids,
  if they had the decision to make again, they might have decided differently because the job is so hard.  :orly:

It's a ridiculously hard job but not one I would be without now. They make me proud, both of them.

  That's excellent.  It must be a great feeling to realize you've raised good human beings.  :)

I sometimes think they turned out OK in spite of me.

  I doubt that's entirely true.  You've probably made positive impacts that you don't even know about.  8)
