She probably was crying because it died somewhere in your HVAC

Hi I read your blog about the Dwarf hamster and I was wondering…What is so bad about a dwarf hamster? I once got a hamster and my mother actually ended up loving it. She cried when it died.

Maybe try tying it down with some rope?

Great blog! I really like the “Suburban Turmoil” header image! How the heck do you get a header image to stay on the first page of your blog? Mine won’t stay put! Any help that you can give will be greatly appreciated. -Matt

Just look up “stalking” in the yellow pages. Duh.

I am wondering if you have ever heard of companies involved in security that employ people to stalk suspected shoplifters.
I am not doing anything for which I should be stalked. Yet, I have gotten on the list of people this company is stalking. It is very insidious because at first you think you are imagining it, but after awhile you actually hear people slandering you to the staff at Kroger, Walgreens, Staples etc, and you recognize the same cars following you to stores. I am pretty sure they even tapped my phone from a rental house next door where the tenants must be employed by this company. A stalker even knocked on the doors of my other neighbors and told them he thought I was a risk to them. This man, I believe, was fired, and the company is consumed with proving what he told my neighhbors about me is true for fear I will sue them. At this point, I definately WANT to sue them. It is slander. I need to find out the name of the company, but the stores won’t help of course because they employ this company to do this. I have spoken to several private detectives, but they will not confirm there is anything they can do to figure out who this man worked for. Have you ever heard of this before? There is no question that this company and others exist for the purpose of stalking people. When I spoke to the police, I was told the man in question has a lengthy history of stalking, yet they will not help me to obtain the name of the company involved.
HELP! ! !

Tampa?

Hi there you don’t know me but I am new to tampa area and am looking for drop in daycare for my days away from 2 year old boy. I found your site on a search for drop in daycare and was glad to see your post about the “bad baby place”. Could you please e-mail me with the place I should avoid?? Also if you have found another place that is better I’d love to know about that.
Thank you for your post as that is exactly what I am trying to avoid, I just want some time so that I can feel like an adult every now and then and don’t need daycare for anything else. -Mitch 🙂

Murder by banana? I’m in!

Hi. I’m trying to put together a virtual book tour. I found your site by searching for “senior citizen, mystery reader, blog.” My book is about four elderly pinochle players at the local senior center who decide to fight back by murdering their nemeses — the overzealous activity boosters. I’m looking for someone to do a short interview (I have one murder by banana) in the time frame mentioned. Would you be willing? (If not, maybe you know someone who might?) Thanks. Cheryl
