Termites have shown themselves in my house, specifically in the bathroom. It's horrible, but luckily, we don't have to tear out a whole freaking wall, just a little cubby wall. I expect though we won't hear the last of them, nor will our inside house be free from visits from the landlord for a while. I'm near the point of having XANA wipe them out. But knowing the gang, they'll deactivate the tower and might even do a RTTP...

Also, a few days ago, something spooky happened. I was laying on the futton (sp?) couch in our computer/leisure room when I heard this continous dripping. With this big shelf sticking out in the middle, the room is pratically a U (with the door on the left end, futton couch on the right end :D ). Getting up, I'm standing in the middle of the room and realize the noise it very close. Next to the door is another shelf full of canned goods (yuk!), and in front of it is various cat litter buckets we converted for storage. I spot a red liquid. Take a guess what it was. It was on top of a cat litter bucket (lid closed of course). Up above was the ceiling, white and no leaks, and the shelf didn't have any cans tipped over/broken. Plus, the puddle kept bubbling from one spot. :shock: I was freaked out.

The bubbling stopped, and in a few seconds, it came to me that the color was slightly orange. Plus, I caught a faint wiff of tomato. It wasn't blood, just tomato sauce. (whew!) But where did it come from? After calling my mom over, we looked a bit and found the source. On the shelf just slightly above the pail, was a huge can of tomato. Old. The paper on it was horribly faded. It got so old it rusted enough for a tiny hole to appear, and spill out the contents a little. Did I mention the can also looke like it was bulging outwards? It was just weird. Lesson: Don't store tin cans for too long. They might rust on you, and freak you out when you least expect it. :lol:
