> Cindy, am I reading this correctly?Noa, you are reading this correctly...I had guinea pigs in every room and in the kitchen and garage. When I moved out of a condo (because the neighbors complained to the city), I had to replace carpeting (from remnants of course) and repaint...but the job wasn't as hard as I thought it would be (I thought it would be easier to kill myself than clean it up, when my landlord had to come fix things). My OCD involves hoarding and collecting (unfortunately, collecting things like guinea pigs and now frogs, as well as old clothes, plastic bags, etc. etc...at least frogs don't breed like guinea pigs do!) What I want to get across to harry b and Michael (who posted below) is that things that seem hopeless do have solutions, and that other people will help with solutions, once they know how deeply you are hurting. The first step is reaching out to others.--Cindy W
