We'll, I'm actually glad  you didn't let them drive you out, David .  But still, good grief!  This is just #27 on the list of why I never want to own a house again

You're one of the smart ones Lynne. I knew you were!

Owning a house is a BEEYOTCH!

If I had only one wish it would be to climb in a time machine, go back about 5 or 6 years..... and rent an apartment. 

But, I do love my little house. The mice are another story.

Glad you got those traps, David, and have relocated the little rodents.....

When we relocated the ones we caught, someone said to me, that they would probably get eaten by birds or snakes, but I said, that I couldnt do anything about that, and if that did happen, then that is natures way of keeping everything surviving.....at least they werent at the mercy of a spring trap that knocked their little heads off, just because they were hungry.

Lets just imagine, that they are enjoying a nice little life in their new surroundings......

You have to take them VERY far from your house, David, they find their way home to your house when they are MILES away!

Basically that's their fate in the food chain anyways. You can't worry about stuff like that David. If your feeding some birds or snakes thats the way it's suppose to be. Geez what are you suppose to do with them ? You have done every humane thing possible so far, hey i know, why don't you build a shelter for homeless mice?  you havn't tried that yet!

What the hell is going on with the Internet tonight? You received 12078 of them?

Sheesh. Somebody is churning out a bunch of spam apparently. I had email offering me everything from free viagra samples and edible underwear to Paris Hilton sex videos. 

That happened to me too but i didn't get as many as you did. I got about 50. It's weird.

Well, that just made my day. I get lost in shopping center parking lots, but mice can find my house from miles away.

Melissa, you're joking aren't you? They really can do that?

The swamp is about 3 miles away from my house. Do you think that is far enough?

When I read these I felt bad for putting them outside in the wild, but after learning they can find my house from miles away, I probably wouldn't feel very sad if a snake did eat them.  I definately don't want them coming back to my house.

I received 675 new emails last night. It didn't happen tonight though.  Yeah, it was very weird.

MY GOD. What is up with that? 13497 messages? You need to tell somebody about that Jess. Hell, I thought 675 messages was bad. I think somebody put you on some kind of spam hit list.

Oh, I could never forget about the mice. As soon as I see one, I take it for a ride to the country and let it loose.

Current Weather in Indianapolis: Windy Rainy and Cold   Temp: 40 F (4 C)

I have a friend flying in from London tomorrow, and I have a problem. Okay, let's face it. Indianapolis, Indiana is NOT London, England. I'm scared to death he is going to get bored. I have some activities planned for him (no not THAT... well maybe) but I would love it if someone could suggest some ideas.

In other words, if you were coming to Indianapolis for a visit, what would you like to do while you were here?

In other news, I released 4 more mice today! I think I have caught and released 9 mice so far. Yes, I have set aside my fear of mice in order to save them.

You may congratulate me.
