I think we have a mouse in the house that came up the dryer vent. There's mouse turds near the roach traps in the kitchen and I checked that my gerbils are safely secure in their cage. I wouldn't mind except it's in the kitchen and has peed on almost all my pots and pans so I think it's a boy mouse marking everything. We've put down quick snap traps with peanut butter and I recommend he takes that option over being found by the three dogs and ripped apart or swallowed whole as a snack.

 

[Cowboy_Ken]

Get shed snake skin and put it around your drier vent. Scares them.

 

[Kerryann]

We have furry friends in the basement. They seen to be smart enough to stay in the basement

If for medical reasons, I'd fire that doctor if he said that to me !

no not medical... I just cant digest it like I used to. my body has betrayed me. I stopped eating it as much while I was pregnant because we thought it best to eat organic meats and organic beef is expensive... after my body was my own again I started eating it again and I would have problems digesting it still cant eat it without being in pain for days after.

 

[Cowboy_Ken]

I fear I'd need to disown myself.

 

[Melly-n-shorty]

we never had a problem with mice... Mooch used to eat them before they got inside... tail and all... guess Ill have to watch out for them now .

On a happier note... my husband got super drunk and stayed out all night. he came home in the middle of the afternoon super hung over and landed himself in the dog house... making the conversation about keeping Gus (the new foster dog) go very smoothly... I think he would have agreed to a whole pack of new dogs he felt so bad (both emotionally and physically). Gus is currently sleeping in my daughters bed and she looks so happy even in her sleep.

 

[RosieRedfoot]

I'm hoping the mouse either found a way outside or gets caught in the trap. I stuffed a towel in the dryer tube to prevent another intruder for now. I cleaned up all the turds so if I see more I'll know where it's at. But may be turning the oven on broil if I find poos by the stove again...

We never had a problem with mice either, Rusty died last summer, but he was a first rate mouser! I really miss our cat, he was 15.

I'm so glad that the Gus situation is working out for you and your daughter

Wow, that stinks about him staying out all night! If it was my husband I would have been worried he was hurt or dead and then when he came home I would have hurt and killed him!

 

[Cowboy_Ken]

I can't imagine thinking it would be ok,(drunk or sober) to stay out all night unless it was a pre planned outing, like going camping.

he was smart enough to call me (far from sober) to ask if it was ok if he stayed the night, but he didnt stay on the phone long enough to answer. I gave him the "you need to grow up and be more responsible" talk when he got home. He is sun burned everywhere but where his swim trunks cover... serves him right!

 

[Cowboy_Ken]

At least he kept his trunks on!!!

I wish! My kids schedules would not allow me to do that or any job and I live near enough to the Berkshires too!

 

[LolaMyLove]

My body and red meat are no longer friends either, but my brain is still in love. So I endure the pain at least twice a week.


Last nights, Bloody Mary Steak. Two of my favorite things, Blood Marys and beef. Happy brain, sad tummy.

 

[Cowboy_Ken]

I made up four rib-eyes and there's just Karen and myself. I just love too graze on it as leftovers.
Mrs. C. Include the kids.

 

[Jenley]

GYAHHH my vacuum sounds as if it's going to fly away, it sounds like it is revving so high. I checked everything and there are no clogs anywhere. Off to Google and Youtube I go.[/align]

I could when they are free but they are busier than me with play practice, summer cross country and percussion for the older one and hockey and soccer camp and swimming lessons for the middle one and speech therapy for the 2 year old. All I do is taxi and wait and taxi &waotsome more!!

 

[RosieRedfoot]

No signs of mice anywhere so who knows where it scampered off to. Our new washer dryer set came in! We chose the top load due to its huuuge capacity and the front load on sale has been known to occasionally leak. Washer holds 4.5 cubic feet and dryer holds 7.3 cu ft. I know I've reached adult status when coming home to a new washer dryer counts as excitement for the day.

Welcome to the groan up world. Oops, I meant grown…or did I?
