I used to get that when I would talk to my mom on the phone for almost a year after she passed I still found myself grabbing the phone to call her then catching myself.
I have an outside heated water bowl for the strays in winter. It has a wire spring around the wire to prevent animals munching on it. Whoever came up with the mother thing never talked to MY MOTHER, that is for sure. She could make anyone bonkers.
Mice and squirrels have cost me hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars in damages to cars parked outside. The gnaw through wires under the hood. One of the few drawbacks of living in the countryside.
Maybe 3 decades ago, the University of Minnesota main campus wanted reliable Internet service. They didn’t want a single failure to be able to cause an outage. So, they contracted for 3 connections to the Internet backbone. But, the main campus is next to a river. It turned out all three connections crossed the river in the same conduit underneath a bridge. A homeless person cooking food started a fire that damaged that conduit and all three connections failed.

They no longer allow visitors to the undercroft, as far as I know, but there’s some good photos of it here:

No wonder i feel stressed, I rarely get hugged and my mother died 34 years ago.

Depends on the mother…and the child

It really depends on the mother. Some can raise your blood pressure quite a bit.

I think they made that cable look too much like a sapling. A skinnier cable might have been missed by them busy little beavers.

Talking with one’s mother can also produce the same stress effect as a hydrogen bomb.

I’m a dad and grandpa and talking to my daughter and my grandson on the phone raises my blood pressure. They never call unless they need something.

Not sure how talking to momma would reduce stress, she died back in ‘83.

…and having your cable eaten by beavers is still better than getting DirecTV

…and talking to your mother can also have the same stress increasing effects as a new job interview

Not all moms give off that vibe, sadly.

Did the dentist charge Mr. Jozni for the drill bit? I wouldn’t be surprised. Who paid for the surgery? We have a lot of questions.

If I called my Mother, either I’m dead or in a Twilight Zone episode.

Depends on what kind of a mother you have
