whats wrong with bats? i mean, aside from rabies?

i love bats.

i have plans for a bathouse that will hold 300 pounds of them. i need two more telephone poles to get started

Nothing wrong with bats, they are interesting animals...they just don't belong inside my room or in my roof.  :o

I agree with billy rubin that bats are cool, though I also agree that they don't belong indoors with people. I've long enjoyed watching them in the twilight, when you can still see them intermittently if you're looking for them.

Bats have a vital influence on our ecology.  There are bunch of different strains of the little fleidermice but each of them contributes in their own way to keep the world at least semi balanced.  They are fascinating little creatures.

No, I do not want bats in my belfrey but I would consider building a bat house for my back yard.

Yeah, I've enjoyed living on my own, when I could. Playing house can be pleasant too though, with the right partner.  :)

I have too after my second marriage went bust and an engagement I called off and she moved out. But now I need help and can no longer live alone. I do miss it.

IMO living alone is fine when you've got plenty of distractions and/or a very active social life. If not then things can get lonely.

But yeah, there are some perks to not having to divide your space with another person. ;D Like not having to hide your toothbrush, for instance. ::)

It's not about living alone, it's about humans being so willfully awful to one another.

Not sure if I have mentioned this before, but, I hate people.

I'm pretty sure you've mentioned it once or twice.  ;D

Once or twice? I think you are being frugal.  :blue smiley:
