Artist...aren't we a pair?!!!! "Taking in strays" as Mac has described. I even heard after the stalking incident how my "stray" had conned other male AA members into taking him into their home till he could get on his feet, all the while seducing their wives. They wanted to kill him, and indeed, I wonder how he's still alive, if he IS!!!
By the way, I no longer take in "human" strays, but I do have three pets who are very loving and appreciative. (I even have recurring "pet rescue" dreams!) It's my nature.
