CBC, I have an unreasonable fear that teaspoon sized mice will invade my bed and nibble on my toes. What should I do?

  That's actually not unreasonable, given the extent to which the mice have made themselves at home.
  I don't know if they would bite your feet, and in your situation I would have freaked out long ago and
  called the landlord.  I know you don't trust the handyman, but even if he helps himself to food, at least
  he won't leave droppings all around ... right?     I do sympathize, it is an unpleasant problem.

So, Wolfish should keep the handyman instead of the mouse?  That's assuming the he's a hunk, not a chunk.

  I must admit the baby mouse is cute ... but the handyman probably doesn't carry hantavirus.

The viruses the handyman does carry will all be transferable to humans. With mice that is different.

the handyman reeks of alcohol and stale cigarette smoke (i think he gets his smokes from others' leavings). he also uses the bathroom when he's here but doesn't wash his hands (i heard the toilet flush but no running water in the sink), and who knows what he puts his hands on in the refrigerator. once when we came back we found mayonnaise missing. we couldn't tell about the bread and meat, but i tossed the meat. he wears clothing that can only be described as skeevy. his shoes are another color from the tan (i think) they used to be. i'm sure he carries lots of things worse than the hantavirus.

  Yikes.   In that case, carry on.  Didn't realize he was that bad.

my hard drive crashed (or malingered) this morning and now I have to copy files to a portable hard drive.

I'm so bored, and CBC isn't posting anything on I2 so there's nothing to read.
Should I send her a goldfish? What should I do?

A goldfish would be a brilliant pet for CBC.

[WolFish]

CBC plussed me for evilness and I don't know what to say in response. What should I do? Should I go commit random acts of evilness to deserve it or should I just say thank you and run away?

['andersom']

Send her that goldfish and then

['andersom']

CBC, there used to be goldfish smileys. Do you happen to know what their code is on I2?

['andersom']

[WolFish]

Yes, let's give her that one.

Worried about the missing goldfish now.
