Oh the mice/squirrels at my brothers are totally foiling the traps they have. I kinda think they aren't actually coming into the kitchen, just disgorging insulation from the walls. Which...uhg.

Devi's a known mousekiller. The rest? I have no idea. They've not been tested.

Drugs are kinda winning against the bug. However, at the cost of a good night's sleep. Going to telecommute at least half the day. Will see.

We had a horrible experience with a spring trap in CA. it scraped off half the mouse's head but left the thing bleeding and running around. After multiple attempts to kill it, Joe finally ran over it with our car tire. The next time around we used a trap that catches them live and I released it in a field away from the house. The kids thought that was fun and thankfully, there wasn't blood everywhere.

A friend of mine recently came home to find her apartment ransacked by squirrels. It was bananas, following the story on Facebook.

When we had mice (despite 2 cats), Tim rigged up a humane trap with an empty paper towel roll, peanut butter, and a trash can. We caught and released 2 mice that way. Kind of a pain, though.

I have always had hunters...so any mouse incursions haven't lasted long. Sometimes the results were pretty gory though. Clio is the most gentle cat with me, but she's ferocious with mice.

My sister forwarded me a text she got sent in error by a cousin. The entire text: "Debs can I fuck you for one whole day baby".

Good god, can you imagine the horrible embarrassment if that went to the wrong person? If that went to family instead of the intended target? Thank god it went to her (although she did reply, because, seriously, how can you not?) and not, say, another 50% of the family...

Yikes.

Don't sext! Too high a risk of it going terribly terribly wrong!

Once I went to the bathroom on a date and got a text meant for the other woman the guy was seeing. Oops. At least it wasn't graphic? But still.

Lessons, people, lessons!

Off to the beach!
