I suppose that explains why the mice won't go into the friggin' traps.   >:(

Livetraps?  Try peanut butter on a cracker, works for me every time.


We've tried everything... we're considering some crazy Rube Goldberg shyte at this point. 

Anybody else remember this?

Hell's yeah.  My youngest still played it until recently, when he lost a piece and that did the mousetrap in.   A mouse probably ate it.

I think they might not notice the mice off the bat.

They might not notice the radiation off the bat either.

There you go.  Radiate all of the mice and them track them by the glow.  Or you could use them as night lights.

No, we don't *have* bats... so far, it's just the mice.

Maybe the mice are bats. They just hide their wings when you're around.

You don't have bats now, but the radiation could mutate the mice into bats.  Glowing, flying mice.  Terrifying.

I have zombie mice now... they weren't zombie mice a week or so ago when I put down little delicious mice treats for them from "Chez D-Con". Now they no longer skitter through walls but simply hang around smelling REALLY terrible.

So you're saying the key to zombification is D-con?  Interesting...to the laboratory!

I guess if you figured out what to add to reverse the process, it would become "de-D-con"?

Just found this thread and wanted to thank you all for making a tedious day at work so much more fun.

BTW, the Zombie mice would fit perfectly in my entourage, I think.
I am a Fire Dragon (I know, kind of contradicts the cuddlebug) and I could use a few Zombie mice to take care of my lair. Will ensure their safety, since I only eat virgins, they will not be used for sustenance, promise. (Won't taste that great anyway, I guess?)

Actually, I am not sure the Chinese Horoscope makes much sense for me, ok, the description of a fire dragon seems fairly accurate, but I doubt that everyone born the same year as I am can have 'similar' personality traits, that just seems too simplistic too me. But the interesting thing is that all kinds of horoscopes and personality tests (such as the MBTI, picture personality tests and different quizzes and applications on Facebook etc., ... yes, I have too much time to procrastinate) seem to come up with the exact same results. So maybe there is some underlying truth in them?

Great! I'm an Ox.
NONE of the descriptions suit me! An Ox is calm, patient, conventional, resolute, narrow-minded, demanding..
Me, I'm none of that. With my ADD I'm never calm nor patient, I'm so broad-minded I never know what I want, so don't call me demanding or resolute. However, I am stubborn, logical and modest (the most modest girl alive! LOL), but I think that's because I'm a Capricorn.

So, I'll stick to Capricorn and forget the Ox element in me. Or maybe I need to work on my Ox. It must be a sign. Chinese astrology is telling me something...

It is never too late to be what you might have been.
