We had some mice that found a way into our house and they set up residence in our basement ceiling. I found their entry point and blocked it (silicon and steel wool) while using live traps to gather them up. They must have hungry cause they all went in the trap one by one. I let them loose in the wild. Probably made a dinner for hawks but you can't live in our house unless you pay rent.

Daughter is having this issue in her RV in Santa Fe. Going out next week to help. AND to refit skirting for the Winter.

She moved there last year exactly to live her dream. Living in RV while the house/structure is being remodeled.

I sit here, anxious often, that Daughter will "hang in there" through this process.

I'd like to trap/release but at this point I'm gonna be a mice warrior so that I don't have to worry about Daughter losing hope in "living her dream".

"Die F'rs!!!!!"

I really like Santa Fe. She will love it once the house is done. Hope she can save some bucks for art.

Thanks. It is beautiful out there. I think she wants to create rental units for visitors. But getting that house done is primary.

Wish I were closer. I'm in NW Louisiana.

She won't allow me to stay in the actual house (she's afraid I'll get Hanta Virus. Ha)

NO NO NO! Glue traps are so cruel and trap other beasties that should be free

Thank you, sahib.

As I did with Irma in 2017, I've parked my car outside the garage in case I lose power and the wind jams my garage door.

Winds look to be dropping. Can 155mph be considered an improvement?

Mochi pounding symbolizes non-commenting at the mommy blog.

The mochi master keeps putting his hand in the path of the descending wooden mallet, snatches it away at the precise microsecond to save it only to put it back in the path of the descending mallet a microsecond later. And so forth and so on for several minutes.

Somehow or other this is the exact same thing anyone does at the mommy blog every single time a non comment is made.

It is always a gamble that this time the ban hammer won't miss.

LOL! And then at the end, it all works itself into a delicious confection that is Wonkette, somehow.

Inside a fluffy pocket

That looks just like a mouse

There lives a handsome hamster

It is his tiny house

It doesn't move a cursor

It keeps him nice and warm

He snuggles up inside it

Free from hamster harm

The next iMouse won't even exist at all. It'll use motion and vibration sensors to track your hand movements while you mime using a mouse.

And when Madame Vice President wins (not if, when) those same jealous media outlets and pundits will spitefully spend the next four years being petty assholes.

>>Well, Netflix canceled Jeff Goldblum as Zeus show “Kaos,” the best thing I’ve ever seen<<

I was saddened by this news. Goldblum was great as Zeus, a stand-in for everyone's other favorite, fun-time douche-bag: https://youtube.com/shorts/qSF1h5rjC-k?si=p7XMtqzglkmdgA0f

Netflix is proving to be as crappy as the traditional networks when it comes to cancelling really good, thoughtful shows, and keeping the lowbrow crap. Not in all cases, but seriously, Netflix? Cancelling Kaos?

Watching this show sent me to look up some of the old myths. Particularly interesting was how the stories of Orpheus changed through the ages.

i don't know, it got a little mean for my tastes and i got mad (i know i know - also i'm a shakespeare actor so i shouldn't be sensitive about 'mean').

Yes, that part got me too. That's myths and legends for you.

After decades of being stenographers for the republicans, the Beltway media has made itself largely irrelevant. Most Americans don’t care what they think. They have no right to get mad that Harris and Walz are bypassing them and going to where the audience actually is.

When my father's dementia reached the point where I couldn't look after him anymore AND work full time, I had to put him in a nursing home. After the nursing home got every single penny that my parents saved for 40 years, I had to apply for Medicaid to cover the nursing home cost. Medicaid was paying the nursing home $5000+ a month to look after him, when frankly I would have been deliriously happy to get $3000 a month and look after him at home, because he wasn't any trouble, and I could have spent more quality time with him, and I could look after him better.

But that wasn't an option, of course.

In the spirit of Jennifer Garner and AD home tours, which, in a spirit of reminding me just who I am, voice to text changed tours to chores, I’m just gonna put this out there. I guess summer is over. https://substack.com/profile/1687878-1d57a1d5931d/note/c-71978020?utm_source=notes-share-action&r=106di

Also, in the spirit of clarity, I want to specify that I was not wearing a Cartier watch when I put the towels in the dryer and put wood on the coals in the stove. However, I had best get my arse into something, and give myself a few extra minutes on the road, because the first few days of snow everybody drives stupid. Here we go.

I don't want to sound too extreme or anything, but I think the executives at Netflix who cancelled Kaos should be torn apart by Maenads.
