Hi Folks! Some of you have asked how I support myself. So, here is how I do it--it has to do with being a pet rat owner. Or, more specifically, owner of rats that were former Federal laboratory research rats. All of my rats have been former federal laboratory research rats that came to live with me after their working careers were finished. As Federal employees the rats qualify for life insurance--$500,000 worth! And rats live at the most up to 4 years. I do love my dear rats, really, I do. When each one dies I am heartbroken. The $500,000 the Federal government gives me each time one of my dear rats dies can not possibly make up for the loss of my dear gone pet. But, the money does help. So far in the past 4 years 26 of my former Federal employee rats have died. Yes, you are correct, that is a lot of grief to go through. So, you can easily imagine that the $13 million dollars I've received has been little consolation. Still, the money does help...
