I'm a 36 year old woman California. My passion in life is animals, but mainly rats/rodents. My other passions include... Blogging (which is my newest passion)and Photography, art, sewing, Crafts, Graphics, Paranormal; I love the show Ghost Hunters. Hmmmm what else. I have many more interests but I'll add them another time.
I thought this would be a fun little thing to blog; the word 'Rat' in various languages. I hunted down one of those easy-to-use word translators on line. It worked pretty well but for some languages, such as Chines and Japanese, i got '???' for one and the other '??' LOL.
This translator i used only offered a few languages and those are the languages i am putting below. Hey... if you know of any other somewhat easy-to-use translators that offer more languages leave me a comment with a link. That would be awesome.
I think the symbol one's are pretty cool. See, i told you 'Wonderful World of Rat's was not going to be a typical website or blog about rats. I try very hard to make this blog very unique. And the more i blog the more unique things and idea's i come up with.
Well, i hope you find this interesting as i did, if not... well you passed a few minutes of time lol.
Oh also, if you find any of these wrong or are different than what you know or speak, let me know and I will amend the list and/or offer your version of 'Rat.' What i put below is simply what the translator gave me.
RAT: German - Ratte Italian- Ratto French- Rat Portuguese- Rato Dutch- Rat Greek- Αρουραίος Sweedish- Tjalla Russian- Крыса Arabic- فأرة
Ok all you rat lovers... Now is the time to let everyone know why you love rats.
What is the "Why I Love Rats' Essay Challenge? Well, it's pretty much what is says. It's an Essay and a Challenge. What i want you all to do is right a small essay on why you love rats. It can be a 2-4 medium size paragraphs.
Simply write why you love rats... write it as beautifully and passionately as you can. Tell us all why you love rats.... from the smallest little thing to the largest thing you love about rats.
I don't want it to be: "I love rats because they are cute" Well yea, rats sure are cute but that's not what i want, what i want is deep in your soul, write the essay as if you are digging deep into yourself to tell the world how wonderful rats are. Write it as if you were trying to convince the world how amazing rats are and write it as if you were trying to convert all the non-rat lovers out there.
Ok.. after you write the essay, what next? E mail it to me: Rsungodess20032aol.com
I will read all the essays that are submitted to me and I'll post them here on 'Wonderful World of Rats' and than everyone will vote on which essay's they liked the best. The 3 best essays will get a small sample bag of my homemade 'Spoiled rat treat mix' --this is not a staple food (everyday food) it is a treat mix for occasional snackage lol. And the one voted the absolute best will have their entire essay put on the bottom of this blog permanently along with a picture of one of your rats. I may add more things to the winners stuff through out the month.. but it won't be much. This is primarily for fun.
So ok, you have a month to write your essay. Please submit it by May 12th. I will read them over a coarse of a few days and than begin the winner process.
Ok... so start thinking, start jotting things down... and remeber BE ORIGINAL, BE CREATIVE !!!

PS... please leave me a comment to let me know if you are going to take part in this. Just so i can get a feel for how many people will be writing essays. - Thank you
Ok, i have no kids. I often play with a neighbors 2 year old daughter and they want me to introduce her to rats which is great. We haven't picked a day for me to go over there and bring a couple rats with me, probably next month some time. And this game is a little out of her range, she's a bit young for it. But, i want these cards anyway for my ratabilia collection. I don't care what the game is about, i just want these cards LOL.
I often scan Amazon.com and eBay for rat stuff and here is one of my finds. Soon as i can learn how to put cash onto my paypal account so i can use my paypal debt card I'm going to order these. Which leads me to an off topic question, does anyone know how to get cash onto a paypal account? I always have to send cash to a friend and she puts it on my paypal account but there has got to be an easier way. I don't have a bank account, i REFUSE to have a bank account anymore because they are always stealing my money somehow. So i stick to cash now, with cash no one can charge me outrageous overdraft charges. Ok, i am digressing and ranting a little bit.. sorry.. but yea... how can i get cash onto a paypal account??
