We were told it was 20,000 or so when the bee keeper came to smoke them out of our garden. They used her slide as a lan... |

| Gosh, that would be my nightmare. I am such a wimp with hazardous materials. The flat is fine and I am sure perfectly healthy. It is just a week of jet lag and broken sleep (with two small people with jet lag) has left me all jittery about everything. Besides this two home living situation seems da... |

| As a child it was always my closet. Then the basement storage room. I was always dreaming of 'my own space'. Then when I moved at 15 to live by myself (in a family owned home but without my parents) I actually hated the actual house. I could never sleep there. I would just walk around all night outs... |
