Hi to my Forum Friends,

We all have had a "problem" at one time or another -- and had to call Tech Support. Most of these calls are very frustrating to say the least. My Friend, Chuck Seabert, sent me this wee bit of humor which may explain our Tech Support problem from their side of the fence.

Your Saturday morning wee bit of humor. Enjoy.

God bless, have a wonderful, blessed day,

Bill

Hi Country Girl,

Can't say for sure -- but, it looks real. A friend sent it to me. However, your response reminds me of myself. I hate rats, mice, and anything which resembles them -- with a passion. If you have ever read the book "1984" or seen the movie -- I cannot watch the scene where the "big brother" police are trying to break this couple who are in love. In "big brother's" world of 1984, love or any kind of emotional attachment are not allowed. So, they find a way to make the two people betray one another -- thus breaking their trust and love.

They take the man to a door, open it, and there seem to be a million rats, squealing and climbing over one another. The "big brother" police threaten to throw the man into the room with the rats. At that point, he would have killed his own mother to prevent this. Every time I see that scene in the movie -- I get the creeps. I cannot stand those animals.

Yet, I cannot kill one. Many years ago, we were watching television in our family room. Suddenly a small mouse ran across the room in front of the TV. It had come from a small crack in our fireplace. So, Big Game Hunter Bill Gray set out a mouse trap in the fireplace that night. In the middle of the night, I could not stand it -- so, I got up and removed the trap. I could not kill the mouse. The next day I filled in the hole with plaster to prevent it from coming in again.

Fast forward some years, my neighbor came for my help. She and her daughter lived alone and her landlord had put a stick-um type mouse trap under their cupboards to catch a rat which they were hearing in their walls. Well, it was caught -- but, she had no idea what to do. It was stuck solid to the stick-um paper; but, how to get rid of it. So, she does the womanly thing and comes for the neighbor man to remove it. With my pliers I picked it up and put it in a bag; all the while it was squirming and wiggling -- but was stuck firmly to the paper. This was not a mouse -- but, a big rat.

My initial plans were to take it and put it in the trash can and let it die slowly. No, I could not do that; too cruel. So, next plan -- kill it with my hammer. Sorry, I did not have the heart to kill it this way.

Final plan, I got in my car and drove to a big empty field. I took the rat, with my pliers pulled it free from the stick-um paper -- and let it run into the field.

Okay, I am a wimp! I cannot kill an animal which God has created. So, I guess no one will ever invite me on a hunting trip. Good.

So, Country Girl, even though I detest rats and mice, I do understand your concern.

God bless, have a wonderful, blessed day,

Bill
