Okay.
How about after two days of back and forth with counteroffers and such, we still haven't come to a final agreement on the house we want and oh, by the way, the owners are currently on a plane on their way to freakin' PARIS for three weeks.
I hope by the time they land, they'll have had a come to Jesus moment that suggests, "Oh hai, yes, we will let you have the pretty, pretty house at the last offer you made."
Dana, think of this as positive reinforcement for your move to a place where it snows.
mr. flea killed a giant roach on our 12 foot ceiling today, using a stool.
Los angeles is relatively roach-free. Plus we have great Thai food.
You, apparently however, have something called Roof Rats.
I'm sure its a coincidence, but I haven't back to LA since I learned of their existance.
Scrappy, did you say you're using one of those daylight alarm clocks? I'm thinking of getting one but they're not cheap.
Not me, Brenda. Maybe Teppy?

Not me. I have the light box, but it's not an alarm clock.
You, apparently however, have something called Roof Rats.
New York City used to have Rattus rattus (known as black rats, roof rats or ship rats), and Rattus norvegicus (brown rats). The brown rats are bigger and meaner and killed all the roof rats.
Yeah, I knew Teppy used the light box but I think someone just recently posted about getting one of the gradual light alarms. The darkness in the morning recently has been really getting to me.
I don't have a gradual light alarm, I have a table lamp on a timer that turns on 30 minutes before the radio goes off. I usually respond to its click and LIGHT with cursing and moaning, but it does help wake me up. Put in a CFL bulb and it might be slightly more gradual... those usually take a few minutes to reach full bright.
