Quote from: G_Town on December 10, 2008, 08:41:48 AMI was standing talking to a guy one day at his desk and he looks over and there's a mouse hanging from his front feet from the guys coffee mug with his head down in the cup taking a big old gulp of java.

Gawd. I have an occasional furry creature hanging out in my kitchen behind my stove who sometimes makes it up on my kitchen counter. A few weeks ago I spotted him running around and just watched - he goes right for my almost-empty coffee cup and starts drinking the cold, sugary coffee. That must have been one jacked up mouse. I've since gotten wise and have all access routes blocked off and don't leave coffee cups sitting around anymore.

I have a brother-in-law that rented a dilapidated house once and he kept waking up in the middle of the night hearing noises under his bed. There was a possum living underneath it. :laugh:

Passing on a tip I learned about a few days ago, which might interest anyone not into snap-traps or the inexplicably cruel glue traps.

Mix some Dr. Bronner's peppermint soap with water in a spray bottle, and spray it around areas where the furry bastards tend to travel. The smell repels them. I'm going to try it along the baseboards in my kitchen and along the bottoms of all the doors. If you have pets or children, it's a non-toxic alternative.

You can find Dr. Bronner's peppermint soap at any natural foods market where half the shoppers have dreadlocks, the cars parked outside have Phish and Scooby Doo stickers, and the staff all have the faint aroma of cannabis smoke.

Zoinks! What ... you guys looking to get to Whole Foods? It's just right off the interstate ... just take the Short Pump exit, take a left, then take another left.

Dr. Bronner's soaps are all the way against the wall to the left. Scooby Snacks are in the 'Pet Treats' aisle.

Anybody ever read a bottle of Dr. Bronner's? First time I ever saw the stuff I was showering at a friends house after a weekend during which our pupils were the size of dimes (on average) if ya get my drift ... anyway, I'm standing there in the shower, still feeling a little ... um ... Timothy Leary-esque, and I pick up this bottle and start reading the religious rantings and ravings all over it ... had to get out of the shower quick ... got a little spooked! Jinkies!

You know things are going to be all right because Walgreens now sells Dr. Bronner's!

Did you know that the text on the Dr. Bronner label changes from time to time? I used to soak them off when the bottle was empty and file them away somewhere. Dunno where anymore. Every now and then strange stuff surfaces and then disappears for another couple decades...

Sigh. I just wish I looked that hot in a 2-piece. Must get more nuts.
