...to the Rescue It's that time of year that time I fear when the dark brings out the bold and my eyes will smart from the tears that part when I am frightened by what eyes behold Once again I am scrambling and words spoke in rambling as I head out the door to my car and go searching for someone to help rid of this one though driving I couldn't go far. He came with his cape was my only escape from the angst that was holding me scared With a towel and a box one I wished had some locks he wrestled it with little care Once a year, it is mine when bats plant their find to harbor a scream out of me. Then I dance to their wake running scared as I make a mad rush to be saved by he. M this happens to me once a year...tonight was the night..and I will be sleeping with a blanket covering my head tonight...that's for sure!!!

Oh Maureen, I'm sorry, but when I read Martie's reply, I have to say - at least you can SEE the bat!!! |

I know all that..but wouldnt you rather the bat be outdoors than find one in your kitchen??? and anyway this one was near death..I don't have many bugs in here for it to eat... Yes bats are good to have...I just hate when one a year gets lost and comes down to this floor and can't find his way out.  M [This message has been edited by nakdthoughts (07-25-2003 08:39 PM).] |

Susan you are too cute...my husband never believes me when I would tell him there is a bat in here..in fact the last one ( last year this time) I had to scream at him because he was going to leave me here with it because he had better things to do down at the bar. So when that bat heard my high pitched voice it came flying out probably thinking I was its mate...honest truth But this batman, is my friend whom I have been helping, way too young for me ( I am old enough to be his mother)but he did come to the rescue... Thank you and Linda, I feel the same. They will only die if caught on these lower floors..there is no way out and no bugs to eat...so if caught in time, they are released outdoors...just not by me !!

well not normally...but this one was just about dead, in fact the friend thought maybe someone was playing a joke on me because it looked like a rubber toy..but I have seen them enough to know that it was "no toy". I blame it on my neighbors whose attic is infested and every time they chase them out of their house I seem to get one who has lost his way. I have a childhood nightmare memory and bats are probably the only animals I fear, although I am not too fond of worms either, but that is because my brothers use to put them down my back Thanks LR for the visit M |

LMAO at the responses and replies God, I do know about bats Maureen we used to go fishing (oh geez there is a worm story too anyhow) the bats would come out on the lake at night like thousands of them - swooping and diving . . . after a while they seemed ok to have around until one got caught in my sister-in-laws hair!! OMG it was funny . . she was freaking out! Ok it wouldnt be funny if it was me, but I have a sick sense of humor. I needed this smile thank you xxoo |
