Hee. I'm more amused than I should be at Dana's mouse exploits. Would now be a good time to retell the story about how I was bit on the toe by a mouse? Because I was. Bit. By a mouse. Please insert comments about your sister here.
Pets can get into the snap traps, too. The Biscuit got his paw caught in one I thought I had out of his reach behind the fridge, back in the Pink House of Rodents. Mmm, peanut butter, he thought.
And I didn't like the covered ones because
once I half caught a mouse in one of those
and it was really nasty. And live traps so don't work past the first time because those mice are smart I tell you what. I have extensive experience in mouse traps.
I do not have extensive experience in interview makeup, though.
We tried some new kind of mouse trap that looked like a big pincher clip, and, swear to god, the mice were running across the trigger bit without a care. The thing went off--slowly--maybe 10% of the time. So back to the quick snap wire trap.
I've decided I have the nose of a six year old. That's the crux of my age problem.
That whole "steal your nose" thing is just supposed to be a game, ita.

Okay! My sister was bitten on the ass by a grouse.
because those mice are smart I tell you what.
My mother told me when we were having our mouse troubles that when she was a kid her father used to burn a match near the mousetraps that had caught one so that the future mice wouldn't smell the one just caught.
To all the crafty Buffistas:
I've become bitten by a jewelry making bug. What are good, fairly cheap sources of glass beads? I'm not looking for really fancy ones, my tastes run to small bits of individual colors.

Well, don't go breaking it, that's all we ask.
connie, Fire Mountain Gems has a range of price/quality glass beads. They also have sales. Also, try a craft store - Michaels, A.C. Moore, or Jo Ann Fabrics might have some.
I and my PayPal account thank you.
