I can’t find where the buggers are getting in, I think I’m going to have to pull out the stove. The only good thing is so far they have not gotten into the food in the cabinets. I found a little pile of dog food in the corner so they must be going for that. I’m afraid if I take up the dog food though they will start getting in the cabinets. ---

\*\*Robyn \*\*- did they just give you the car? In that case, $389 is pretty cheap. I assume you didn’t go to the gummint office because it’s Saturday? I always wondered how much of a markup those title places charged. \*\*sari \*\*- You need to check around all water and drain lines - is your stove gas? The gas line could be another opening. Sounds like it’s time to get a cat. 😉 I’ve got my microwave - finally! We won’t install it till tomorrow. But that’s fine. ---

There was no reason not to go there. I’ve got my microwave - finally! We won’t install it till tomorrow. But that’s fine. [/QUOTE] Yay! ---

**FCM** the stove is electric but there could be a hold back there. Then again it could be behind the dishwasher, that is where my mother finally found the place her mice were getting in. I know I need to pull out the fridge to, I know they aren’t getting in there, it;s an internal wall but that corner is where I found the little pile of dog food. Knowing my luck with this if I get a cat it will be the kind who eats the heads and leaves the rest on mu pillow ---

Here, we had mice in the garage - they made a nest in one of **FCD** ’s old motorcycle helmets. Then there were the ones that got into the dryer duct - but they’re dead now. So far, none in the house. Of course, I’ve now cursed us… ---

> [@The\_Vorlon](#): > > You do realize they are one and the same? I was aware of that. But, oddly enough, the microwave was cheaper on KMart’s site than on Sears’. It’s now sitting in the house. We’ll install it tomorrow morning. No more heating water for tea in a small saucepan!!! 😃 ---

Home from a yearly meeting. At a Hoss’s just outside Pittsburgh, our waiter turned out to be from a family I knew back in the mountains. Got to call his Gramma this week and hash over old times. My wife (rightly) says you can’t take me anywhere without running into someone I connect with. Screw Kevin Bacon – with me it only takes 4 steps at most. ---

Gentlemen, Ladies, note the _Gentlemen_, although I use the term loosely. Rosie, other Ladies, do not read this post. Fairy Chat, meh. Mrs. Plant (v.3.0) was amused that one of the web sites she frequents urged her to “set your cock back this evening.” Gentlemen, we need to get busy! I assured Mrs. Plant that she already had, thanks. ---

Last time I ate at Hoss’s was with Dave. It was the last meal we shared together. The thought of going there again makes me ill. RT and I just finished watching Patch Adams and Imitation of Life. Now it’s almost time for bed. ---
