Well once we went to clean out the fridge and we found some old moldy food that was stuffed in the back of the fridge and forgotten about. It was extremely gross and stunk. My husband wanted to throw it all away, tuberware and all. I however wanted to throw out the food and save my tuberware, it was a really nice one. I asked him to throw out the food and wash it and he said he wouldn't and he told me if I wanted to keep the tuberware then I would have to wash it and throw out the food. I threw out the food, and washed it :-( I was gagging the whole time. :-S not a fun experience

You're a braver soul than I! I'd have went with him. Toss the whole thing!! Sorry, I don't like wasting things, but I would be sick the whole time I was cleaning it. Then I'd have to clean that too... I know I would. When I have to clean that kind of stuff, I keep something near for my own ... issues. Urgh.

I was pre-warned. He came in carrying the vent and saying, "you want a dried mouse?" So it could have been worse!

When you live with pets or small children or even teenagers you can expect to find a few nasty surprises, in the case of the children I make them clean up but a cat or dog just stares at you. So I put gloves on and clean it up.

Very true. My dogs get upset tummies from time to time. I've tried to convince them that carpet is NOT food, but they're stubborn. I have to clean it up. I much prefer the mouse. He had to take care of that!
