I have no problem with cockroaches and stuff. I trapped them and brought them outside plenty of times when I was living in New Orleans. Rodents, no. I was just barely holding myself back from the edges of a panic attach before she lectured me.
Sweetie, we're crooks. If everything were right, we'd be in jail.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Frankly, your landlady is being a bitch. I would be thinking about moving. She has invaded your space to a ridiculous degree, and now she's lecturing you? Please.

She keeps reminding me that there weren't any mice before I moved in. I just remembered that the people who lived here before me had cats.

Thrive to spite them
The cats probably kept the mice at bay.
You're not a bad person. Mice happen. They get into tiny cracks and go where it's warm and where they can smell food.

If you're not allergic, cats might help. I'm kind of a slob, but Leifur keeps the invading wildlife down pretty effectively. Also, you're in no way a disgusting person, Hil.

I am allergic to cats.
And, thanks, everyone. I'm starting to feel a little better.

A terrier type dog? They were bred as rat catchers, I believe.

Yes.
I've thought about getting a dog before. I guess I'm thinking about it some more.

Hil, I agree with Flea; your landlady is way out of line.
The Teacup household is feeling better but not enough to actually considering cooking real food tonight, so we ended up getting pizza delivered.

Moving really isn't much of an option.
This is just not a great day. Physically not doing great, and in addition to this mouse stuff, there was a whole bunch of other irritating stuff at work that I really shouldn't have to deal with, because my students are 18 and not 6, but sometimes they act like they're 6.
