Stuff the hole tightly with steel wool and tape it in place---once the exterminator leaves.
I did that last year, but I guess I didn't fill it completely.
Wash: I didn't think you were one for rituals and such. Mal: I'm not, but it'll keep the others busy for a while. No reason to concern them with what's to be done.

Spike's Bitches 46: Don't I get a cookie?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Oh, Vortex. That's both highly comical and making me slightly rage out on your behalf. On the big eternal scale, your dad owes you so very big-time for having bailed on you so early. It seems like your mom is just desperately needy and unmoored without him, and you're bearing the brunt of it.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
We'll see how long that lasts.
Three days.

The best stuff to use is Great Stuff expanding foam. I say that as a person who spent years fighting the rodent that shall not be named.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
You can also buy this spray-can stuff at the hardware store that you can foam into the hole and then it hardens. Mice can chew through it but it takes them a long time and they might decide it's not worth it.

True, but it is what it is. My new policy of stepping back (I'm calling it the Austerity Measures) is working wonders.
Oddly, I feel a little bit bad when she gets upset over this kind of thing, because I know that I didn't do anything, she's just unhappy.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Why has this never occurred to me before? You two kids should get together. Or, since you don't seem to be into one another, pretend to get together. Just IMAGINE Thanksgiving. You two could have a reality show. I posit Mother-in-Law From HELL (big flames and screaming metal guitars shooting up on Hell, obvs) as the title.
For sweeps you could do a cross-over you and share a beach house with Teppy's not-Father-in-Law, et. al. Their show is still in devlopment, we're thinking, "If my Muslim President Can Wear A Dress So can I" With Tim and Teppy shopped into this photo for the ad campaign [link]

Then, in a very special episode, my friend's 92 year old grandmother can come over and be endearing and confused. There will be much shouting and a plethora of accents... (anyone southern? can anyone FAKE sourthern?) but in the end everyone will grow and share and hug and cry.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
I...would totally watch this show.
Possibly from the hallway, but I would watch!

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Because they LOVE each other and they deserve to be HAPPY
I LOVE IT AND I WANT IT ON MY BUMPER.
Dang, Vortex.
anyone southern? can anyone FAKE sourthern?
Ooo! Ooo! My grandfather can guest star! With his Glenn Beck obsession and plethora of Confederate flags and fondness for guns, I'm sure he'll be a hit!
Erin, I'm glad you were able to go out and enjoy the show. How are you feeling today?

Shit, Smonster, your grandfather could have a spinoff.
