Yup they actually do make a new car smell freshner ,I use to use it when I smoked . And I just bought the "Better Homes and Garden" Fresh cut Fraiser candle at WalMart for 6 bucks and Oh is it nice not the fake piney smell you get from most pine sented stuff but a nice rich Real Christmas tree pine smell ,hope there are some left after Xmas to go into clearance get a bunch cheaper !!
I have to say thank you to Leather Gryphon I enjoy all the musical links youu show us alot
...have an appointment Wednesday to apply for Medicare assistance through my state that will help pay for the premium and prescription/treatment costs. In talking with a person at the Senior Outreach centre, it sounds as I will definitely qualify.
Big relief.
Several companies make "New Car"... Including Arm & Hammer and Sickle, and the Stankee Candle Company... None of the ones I've ever smelled actually smell like a new car, which is actually a potpourri of out gassing plastics, adhesives and other delightfully toxic chemicals.
I suppose if they called it "Toxic Gases", "Hot Polyvinyl Chloride" or "Adhesive Fumes" it wouldn't sell well... Well, actually there is a line of "guy candles" which have "manly" scents like "Diesel", "High Octane", "Asphalt" and other ridiculous smells guys who actually work with stuff try to avoid the smell of or are just sick of... I suppose some dudes use them in their "man caves" when they are having a seance or a bubble bath... I dunno.
If they wanted to make really "manly" smells I think "Unwashed Gorilla", "Toxic Exhaust Fumes", "Up All Night Drinking" or "Plaid Shirt Reeking Of Cigarette Smoke" might be more accurate.
(*Sniff*) Thank you, thank you.

I'm a weak person, and can't resist getting new hairstyles whenever there's a sale.
I have saved a bunch of models in a particular spot in my one drive, but now I cannot remember where they are.
omygod had a bad fright.
a Northwell home care Nurse knocked at my door
the patient advocate lawyer told me anything the hospital set up for me was non-binding.
the 'nurses' been calling me all weekend,
i answered 2 of those calls saying i was busy working this week
i ignired the rest of the calls
never expected a knock at this hour
no one answering at the legal services,
i left a message hoping they can tell me what to say to stop what feels like harrassment now
i'm shaking so badly, scared
Take some deep breaths calm down ,they were doing a check on you to cover their own butts ,at least it wasn't a bill collector ....or something really scary ........but they are worried about your "mental hygeine" tomorrow call and tell the hospital to stop nagging you
Complaint: Last night saw a mouse sneaking along the base oard in my craftroom ,went to Walmart today ,had to wait for one of the electric carts, to get mouse traps cause one of my dogs runs in fear of them the other can't catch them but gets very OCC and won't stop hunting for them ,well got distracted by new shiney like a oh sooo comfy flannel nightie and the candles I almost forgot the traps cause the cart ran out of juice, spent half an hour chargeing it so I could finish my shopping ,now I'm hoping my dog doesn't get into it (got the sticky traps) andJust realized I forgot to eat today ..... now it's kinda like well should I eat or just wait til tomorrow? .......
i'm terrified. if it wasnt for the advocate lawyer, i'd still be in there. when i called my insurance, found out the hospital's preapproval was to the 4th.
I'm sorry you are so scared.
Gifts? Me give a gift? Never! It would surely ruin Grinchmas!
Have mousetraps will travel! The meeces must go!
The one on the right.
Anything on the left is sinister.
Which one is on right? What direction should one look at the boxes?
Unless you're standing behind it.
...like Carrie said, relax and take a few breaths. Then call the hospital in the morning and ask them to stop.
Also talk with your advocate as well.
I've caught four mice in this apartment in 10 years. But each time they come up from the basement via the pipe holes under my kitchen sink. Finding nothing to eat down amongst the dishwashing soap, sink cleansers, drawer lubricant sprays, bug repellant cans, and old rags they work their way up inside the sink cabinet to my silverware drawer and seem to assume it is the rodent lavatory and take advantage of it.
So everything in there needs to be washed (I don't have a dishwasher), and the drawer paper discarded, the drawer washed, new paper put down. I hate meeces to peeces.
I perpetually keep two traps down in the lower cabinet now. I tried using the sticky traps but the pathetic squealing is unnerving and then you have to decide to either leave them screaming in agony or pick up a paniced,trapped, live beast and throw it live somewhere where you can't hear it scream out it's swan song for hours or days. Glue traps are cruel. The good old crushing spring mousetrap kills them in seconds. Much more humane. I use tiny dabs of peanut butter for bait.
I've had a mouse issue off and on since I bought this house ,the first year I killed 16 adults and 4 babies ,I agree that the sticky traps are cruel but I don't leave them alive on it ,I have a plastic shoe box that is dedicated to drowning them .My "idiot " furry baby ( I do love her but she can be dumb as a rock) has gotten into a old fashion snap trap before ,and seems to hold a grudge against them.I have other snap traps that I also use but the sticky traps seem to catch the most .I've filled holes around pipes and under cabinets with expanding foam and wire mesh ,still haven't figured out where they are coming in. I've used pool noodles to block the gap at the bottom of inside doors , but I have rolling storage units in my craft room that they like to hide under,and occassionally in . Everytime I hear one crying stuck in the sticky trap I get it and drowned it and I cry the whole time ........but that is less cruel then throwing them away alive stuck to that glue .......
...used to have mouse issues in the last place I lived. 4 cats, 2 dogs, and neither did anything about it.
I had a little terrier dog that would kill rats, and one day came down the garden dragging a dead fox which was bigger than he was (we didn't know if he killed it or found it). Mice however, my old cat had taught him to hunt mice, so if he caught a mouse he brought it indoors for the cat to play with, usually still alive.
Bad photo (web cam shot) but this is Fred and Tig, both sadly no longer with me. Here they are quite young, before we downsized and moved to Wales.
Should have made them sign a contract.
You're absolutely right (big grin)
I opened the back door without checking this morning and the cat brought a very energetic mouse in with her. After a certain amount of toing and froing, and moving stuff so she could find it, it paused for a breather and I wa able to pick it up by the tail and toss it out.
Trying a typing class in the computer lab, but it is hard. I keep wanting to jump ahead of myself. I know how to type but not without typos.
I think if I could figure out how they were getting in if I could block it I'd be willing to live trap them and put them outside ,I even thought of getting a cage and keeping them as pets ,but running loose in the house ......no they are not house broke or breakable and that's just not happening ..........All I have to do is say "Mouse" and the one fur baby is off hunting .....and crying cause she can't find it
ferrets!
...would have, but the cats and dogs belonged to the house's owners from whom I was renting the room.
had them years ago might get one again after the dogs are gone ......or a hairless rat they are nice too might be a challenge making sweater for it though
