Who am I to kill? Well, I am the one who kills. Come and bite me.
I live in a big, in Swedish terms, town. The rat population is large as well. While I wouldn't hesitate to kill a rat, in this particular case there's no much meaning in it. I'd rather that the local rats would consider the space under my deck as the least desirabale occupationable place in the world.
I don't live on a desert island, see? Gbg is the second town in Sweden after Estokholmo. And people here feed rats. Well... they don't think that they feed rats when they feed birds or just put food rests into bins along forest or park lanes. But the result is very same - they feed rats.
My objective is not to kill this particular rat, that lives under my deck. I'd rather to find a way to keep off all the prospective rats.
There certainly are some people that I dislike. But I'm like the most of the inhabitants of these fora and there are some, you included, that I'm very fond of. Perhaps, my posts don't reflect it. I blame language barrier :)
Love is a feeling. Your feeling. Whom are you going to fight for your feeling?
This forum is rather old one, which gives me lilberty to assume that one or other participant here has already lost someone very significant. Parents most probable, a class mate, a sibling, a cat or two... Death per se doesn't cancel love, see? You still can feel the warmth that those people (or animals) induced in you, when they were alive.
Once I had a cat. I loved him. He died. I cannot have another cat. I don't want a cat I cannot love. Once I loved a man. He died.
Fighting for a relationship is quite different matter. I did it twice. Lost both times. Not going to do it again. Am I not good enough as am? The exit it there --->
Thanks, but I don't want to know where this rat goes, I think that everybody, a rat as well, has right to privacy. As long as this rodent keeps away from my back door, I content :)
Bought cayenpepper and sprinkled between boards over the place I think it has its nest. Saw it run out. Dunno though, whether it was annoyed by pepper or the activity above its head in general or that was just a co-incidence.
Well... as pain-killer or an epilepsy drug, why not. But please, dear pot defenders, pay attention that it will be in pill form and quite possible on prescription. What seems to be the progressive liberals fighting against establishment will result in Big Pharma increasing its profit.
Perhaps, it's time buy some more of their shares.
As an aid to deal with everyday life... A drug is a drug still. If only pro-cannabis brigade spent as much time promoting healthy life style.
Need practical advice - how to get rid of a rat?
Well... after a rat left the space under my deck... I don't actually care about it's wellbeing.
