I've been pretty quiet lately. Lots of stuff going on. I can't believe that it's already the end of Sept. That blows my mind.
Been doing well with the parking lot sessions in the a.m. As it gets colder around here, I'll have to figure something out. It isn't as easy to type with gloves on. But I really do well with the net book on my lap, with my truck around me. I guess I feel like I'm in my own little safe pod, and no one bothers me.
Bought some cute hanging tinsel goes and pumpkins for the tree in our front yard. I'm a sucker for the Halloween stuff. If I'm not careful I could very easily turn into one of those people who goes all out, totally tricking out their yards and houses. There was a lady down our street who did that every year, and I loved it. Sadly though, she's moved :(
Another sign of autumn and cold weather approaching is that the mice have moved in. I was sitting on the couch, leaning against one end with my knees up as I usually do when movement on the carpet caught my eye. A little mouse sat there twitching it's tail and looking at me. When I tilted my head to get a better look he took off into the kitchen, and I haven't seen him since.
I hate to kill mice. They are very cute and I've rescued mice from my cats before. But they poop on the counter and in my coffee mugs, and that just ain't cool. We've tried setting live traps, but they just grab the food and take off. Smart little buggers. Anyone have any other suggestions?

Fingerless mitts are the way to go, although there's something of the witch about them;}#
As for the mice, live traps can work, but then you've got to decide what to do with them. I'd suggest a cat, but mine always brought more mice in (live) from outside than she ever caught inside.
i want to say go to Canadian Tire, but you dont have one. Go to your local home hardware store, and go to the area where they have mouse traps, baits, etc.... there shiould find an item that you plug in that gives off a high pitch noice that only the mice and other rodents can hear.
as well try peanutbutter on the live traps. worked for us.
get a cat.
us a shoot gun.
Hi James!!!! I'm so glad to see you! Yeah, we can't seem to catch him in the live trap. Cats leave a bloody mess. One of mine left entrails on my bed.
Kitty, I like the shoot gun idea ;)
