Maybe I think Erin is working on the theory that girls have more reluctance to pee out doors and that precise placement is a bit harder for girls.
Congratulations to the class of 1999. You all proved more or less adequate.

Hah! I've already had one neighbor volunteer her husband (after I helped them load shelves up the stairs) but really, it is just the screamy factor. I don't think I can ask him to pee around the house, no matter how freaking green they are. Rats had a poop party around my empty trash, that does concern me. I'm gonna try the "make it stink to rats" first and go from there. Damnit.
Had a rustle in the leaves out front tonight as I was returning from the pool, which involved me lecturing suspect mice that they can live in my leaves, but my house=CERTAIN DEATH. I don't care what my neighbor's tenants think of me now.

Ok meara! I hope that`s how it works! This will be the first time I`ve flown out of Show Low, and the last time I flew tiny planes was before all the luggage brouhaha.
Yeah--usually as you're boarding the tiny plane there's a cart next to it that you put your baggage on, and then you wait next to it when you get off the plane (so it adds a few minutes) at your destination. And then you can get on the next plane and overhead-bin it.
I would say to make it easy for the guy earn the hamburger or steak, prepay with a few beers.
Girl pee doesn't work?
I...read these as related. And kept re-reading, trying to understand how ita got from steak to girl pee. Was this another weird ita link? It took like, SIX readings to connect this to sara's rats.

I love you meara.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
precise placement is a bit harder for girls.
Practice, practice, practice.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Wouldn't cat pee (which is right there in the litter box) be most effective at shooing away the rats?

Yeah but harder to persuade cats to pee where you want them to.

Ah should have read more carefully. So used cat litter might work?

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
used litter was exactly what i was going to suggest

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Hahaha! Yeah, I can see how girl pee might be generally less attracting to guys than steak. If it`s not, I don`t wanna know.
And thanks, meara.
In other digestive news, my stomach has been upset for pretty much a week. Just now, I took my vitamin (don`t ask me why I`m taking it now, it was there and I didn`t take it this morning) and now my stomach is a growling mess. I keep thinking this is residual grief stuff since that`s when it started, but shouldn`t that be calmed down by now? Am I correlating instead of, um, causating? Maybe I got a bad batch of farmer`s market stuff? `Cause that`s kinda all I`ve eaten since then. It`s driving me batty and making me want pasta.
