Dishwasher, Honest Mistake

I hate to admit this, but I've actually put the wrong soap in the dishwasher before.

We were out of the "regular" kind, so I decided I would put "just a little" in, thought it would suds some, but be OK. About 5 minutes later, the suds come a bubblin' out. About an hour later, we manage to rid the machine of enough for the cycle to complete. OK after that.

Hamster. If it's like the Gerbil my brother had, give it empty paper towel tubes and tp tubes. It loved to shred them up into little pieces. It loved to crawl through and hide in them. He lost it one night in his room. We heard it scratch for a few weeks, then the cat took care of the problem.

If you don't like the hamster, get a cat!

My grandfather did something like that once.

I'm not sure of the exact story, but I think he thought it needed a bit of soap, so to speak. So he made a few sqirts with the ordinary dishwashing liquid... The results were, of course, predictable.

My grandmother was most amused at what happened when she retold the story to us. :-)

Is it enough to breathe
Somebody rip my heart out
And leave me here to bleed

Is it enough to die
Somebody save my life
I'd rather be Anything but Ordinary
Please

Those things are indestructible!

We had a pair. They were given to us by a friend. After repeated pleas _not_ bring them, she showed up with 2 hamsters, a cage and some supplies. So we took them in, until a better place could be found. In a week, they (both) escaped the cage, jumped 7 feet tall entertainment center and felldon the stairs (another 7 feet). Then the cat got to play with one of them. The things were none the worse for the wear. Obviously, a new place was found in a hurry. We gave them to our boys' school. There they promptly multiplied, so now the score is school: 6 hamster, Belousov family: none. As it should be.
