I put a bird feeder up because birds eat insects that destroy some plants. It was a very successful squirrel feeder.

Same. But over time I grew to love that fat greedy bastard

My great hope is that this is how my wife feels about me.

I actually snorted laughed when I read this.

I don't think this counts as boomer humor because you're not joking your wife. Self depreciating humor is my jam. Ignore me. I think too much.

Chunky is cuter than not chunky.

I wish I could feel the same way. I love animals but as I get older squirrels are animals I like less over time more than any other animals.

Me as a toddler: "Squirrels are so cute!"

Me as an adult: "Why is the squirrel eating wires?"

If you live somewhere where they can easily access your parked cars, attics, roofs, boats etc. Then they can absolutely be a problem. In those cases steps must be taken to protect your property from invasive squirrels. I can see why sone would feel this way
