a vivid image.

I worked with a man close to your age I think he was in the 82nd. Still lives here in NC.

I wish i was more like you Duncanpup. I wake up in the middle of the night but am never doing anything productive, just looking at videos, reading DU, and playing games on the iPad.

there was a rat in my apartment when my kids were young it nearly drove me out of my mind. the management didn't believe it. when my son and i actually saw it with our eyes I called them nearly hysterical and they finally got someone out to take care of it. ended up dying in the wall, smelled gawdawful and then came the flies.

my house was never as clean as it was during that time. my knees will not allow me to do all the down on the floor scrubbing I did through the nights when we had a rat. I think I'd get PTSD if i was bitten by one. i hate rats
