No, I wouldn't do that. Why playing cat and mouse?

It is your husband's duty to settle this in a way that the wife and the father are both content.

Any chance a mouse is somehow
caught in the fan? Although when this happened to my mother's, it caused it to quit running and she had to call a repairman. On discovering the problem, she heard him muttering to himself, "Why me? Why me?"
the infamous house mouse

Get one of those "kind" traps. They're a metal container that the mouse can get into but not out of. Put some food inside (they love peanut butter) and then check the trap once a day. You can hold it up and peak inside. If you see any mice, take it out to a field and release them.


my cat does this toy mouse-fetch thing too and

Mighty Mouse - Here I come to Save the Day!!

Use your mouse to move the cursor
up through the maze, all the way to the box at the end.  Once you've done it without touching the sides, it'll progress to the next maze which is more difficult. 
I had a mouse get in my double oven many
years ago and get electrocuted on the wiring. Needless to say the kitchen smelled like something dead for DAYS. I tore the room apart and never found it. When we took the front electrical panel off 3 months later to replace a report, there it was! Looked like it was crucifed. All bones and they all fell out all over the stove. Yuk.
Right?! It's like what the last thing a mouse sees.
  14 pounds eh?  She's just big boned!  Those vet bills are killer, aren't they?!  Our boy, Norman, the MaineCoon look-alike who went missing, twice had crystals or ash in his urine that required 2 emergency vet visits and catheterization or else his bladder would have ruptured.  Those bills combined were over $800...and the darned cat was a STRAY we picked out of the dumpster of the apartment building we were living in at the time.  Nosiree...ain't nuthin' for free I tell ya!  They are so worth it though and I really do think they appreciate all that we do for them. 
It I not mistaken, when mine did this my mouse
was going bad. Can't remember exactly, but I do know this is the not the original mouse I had when I first got this computer.
We had a mouse a couple of months ago
and we have 2 indoor cats that definitely did nothing to scare the mouse. We could hear it scratching when things got really quiet but he was very tricky about moving around and totally avoiding the traps. We got a plug in device called Pest OFFense. It is about the size of a garage door opener. It does have lights on it so we know it was working but it does not make a noise that we can hear. Within a few days we heard nothing and saw absolutely no evidence of a mouse.
samantha. mouse or keyboard?

wireless mouse and keyboard sm

Does anyone have any problems with theirs?  When we press on an icon or something in the browser it seems to take a long time.   I find the computer freezes up at time.  I told my husband maybe is is the wireless equipment.  He tells me know.  I only have had it since Xmas.   


 


TIA


Wasn't she on the Micky Mouse Club?
I thought I read that somewhere.
My female cat plays fetch with her toy mouse
runs to get it, picks up in her mouth, and returns/drops it at your feet. So cute! She also sometimes cries very loudly over and over when I have the oven on as if she is in distress. I have no idea why! Any ideas? LOL. My male cat sits in the window and talks to the birds, a very odd chirping sound he only does with the birds. They're just too cute sometimes!
A 'Panic Mouse' battery-operated toy is great - sm
for young, frisky cats. Mine has kept 2 consecutive cats occupied, but currently it's set aside with a wire that came loose inside the it doesn't run. (Have to get my brother to take a look at it.) I also have a cat-video, but kitty has to be in just the right mood to watch it. She also enjoys GOLF!

Try rotating cat-toys. If they lose interest in some of them, hide them for a while, and when you bring them out a couple weeks later, it's like they're brand-new to the kitties sometimes! I also made a toy that hangs in a doorway. I sewed a mini-mouse to the end of a long shoestring, attached to a stretchy ponytail holder and then to another shoestring (the ponytail holder gives it some fun rebound when the pull on the mouse and then let go). It's hung from the middle of the doorway by a small nail. That, too, sometimes has to be set aside, but when it's kitty's toy of choice for the morning, it sure has her jumping high!

Finally, I feed the birds, squirrels and hummingbirds outside my bedroom window, and the cats like to sit on a tall dresser next to the window and watch them.

Back when I used to work away from home all day, I used to hide cat-treats in various places throughout the house for my cat to hunt for during the day. My first cat could find them ANYWHERE... her nose was like radar. My second cat, however, had to have them always hidden in the exact same places, or he couldn't find them. Still, it was a nice diversionary tactic I used just before I headed out the door each morning.

At other times I put odds and ends on my kitchen table intentionally for a bored cat to come along and knock off the edge. (Plastic spoons, an eraser, pens or pencils, hair clips, cat toys, hair scrunchies, etc.)
Got a computer question. I have a mouse with a wheel on top but what I have noticed lately is the
screen you are typing on will sometimes keep rolling down by itself.  Is this a mouse problem or computer problem.  It just keeps moving down by itself.
Mounds of batteries needed; the wireless mouse has a definite

$60 playing Bingo, would have been $120 - sm
but just as they were about to give me the money, someone shouted out Bingo; guess he was a bit slow to realize he had won, so the pot was split, disappointing but still fun. I also won a green malachite faced gold watch (not real gold, plate if that) in a contest; it had a first prize of a Corvette or $50K, and 100 2nd prizes of the watches (always wished my name had been picked first). I know there are 1 or 2 other things, but totally drawing a blank, nothing big whatever they were.
Had shingles before, do not think that is playing
a role and gosh I would hope it would be costochondritis. Funny to say that but when I pulled up some other things, much worse than I would care to hear was wrong. I have physical exam scheduled for a day next month but think I will just walk in either this Sunday or Monday and just wait to see someone. The pain is really unbearable. I took Tramadol for it but dulls a little but not all.
Was out with 3 yo grandson at 6:30 a.m. playing!!
Not really a snow lover myself anymore, but it sure was fun to watch his excitement. He even got old ski poles out of the barn and was skiing the imaginary slopes, swooosh! Of course mamaw had to be right there along with him!
Playing the game
1. I'm a HUGE flirt!
2. Can manage LOTS of money at my other job but can't seem to manage 3.00 in my own checking account {sigh}.
3. Would love to hop in an RV and travel the country!
He's playing you like a violin.
Drop him off at a shelter. End of story.
Doctors here are down playing it.

They are telling us it is no worse than any other flu you get. They also say the worst is over. However, my daughters Girl Scout trip they were supposed to take tomorrow still got cancelled as with a lot of UIL events.


Baby? That pic shows a kid playing with a See & Say!

If that kid is old enough to pull on the handle, then that kid is also old enough to drink from a sippy cup! Come on, people! Wake up! This lady could have easily bottled her breast milk instead of whipping it out (discreetly or not) on a plane full of people.  Nothing like trapping a bunch of people on a plane and putting them in a very uncomfortable situation!


I breastfed my daughter until she started walking.  After that, she went on a bottle, then to a sippy cup, then to a regular cup.  She's 18 years old now and quite well adjusted. 


And, we are not living in a third world country where kids up to 5 yrs old run up to their mother and just start suckin on a tit! This is America, where it's more cultured, where there are other options. 


I remember a time when I was a kid at Disneyland and I saw a lady with her baby sitting on a bench.  I wanted to see the baby and walked past just in time to see the woman whip out her tit for all to see.  My mother was so enraged that she reported her and stood right next to the woman until security arrived and they told the lady that there were baby stations all around Disneyland where she could go to have privacy with her baby during feeding time.  BTW, there are still baby stations with seating for mothers to breastfeed their babies.


No...worked it off playing my son's dang (sm)
My son just got the Nintendo Wii. If you're not familiar with this contraption, you actually go through the motions.

I played tennis and bowling all day long TG and I am SO sore!!! My right arm feels like it's about to fall off. Every time I reach for my mouse, I wince...

Yeah, been doing my fair share of grazing... will work it off at the mall lol ;-)
You are playing with fire and someone is going to get burned. sm
Infedility by any means is not moral and it is not right. Your husband has every right to be upset, as would I if my husband were doing the same. I'm not condemning you, I'm saying what I would tell anyone. In fact, my best friend brought a guy to the movies with us the other night and she is MARRIED. Needless to say, I was very upset and called her after the movie and told her I didn't think that was very cool.

I bet you 99% of the responders to this post will agree that what you are doing is not right.

It's just exciting and fun right now and not at all worth it in the end. If your husband finds out he may never respect or trust you ever again.

Also, what helps me if I ever, ever get an inkling to stray (which has happened once in our 10-year marriage), is to think about ALL my husband has been through with me and put up and has done for me (which is A LOT), and eventually the "other guy" just doesn't seem that appealing anymore. It actually made me cry when I began thinking of all my husband has done for me and my child (I was married once before we met).

Anyways, you have to stop it. Leading a double life weighs very heavy on your conscience. It's no fun. Not good for your health.

Oh, one more thing! Why is he single, if he is? He's probably a jerk. He ditched you once, right? If he's willing to hang on to you even though he knows you are married? He's not worth it, girl.
I was 7 or 8, playing Barbies with my friend.
I can't remember if we heard it on the radio, or if our parents were talking about it. I didn't have a clue at the time who Elvis was, but I knew that it was important.
You are so lucky to have a cat who enjoys playing!

Mine is too old now to do much more than swat at the grim reaper every now and again.  He's almost 16 now and he's getting kinda stinky.  He always was a grump though.  He'll come in here and park himself right on my mouse...I mean like direct butthole contact with the mouse, and when I try to shoo him away, he flattens his ears and hisses at me and growls.  At least he's still doing that I suppose.

But, I just don't get it.

If things are this dire and it sounds as if what you have posted about him is true, it sounds like you need to spend EVERY POSSIBLE MOMENT getting out of this situation to protect yourself but, most importantly, to protect your children.

What I don't understand is, if time is of the essence and you're taking all of these steps to extricate yourself and your children from this situation...

Why are you wasting precious time soliciting the opinions of virtual STRANGER on an internet forum, and wasting hours arguing with posters?

I dunno...I've never been in an abusive situation, but it seems to me soliciting advice and sympathy from strangers on the internet would be the LAST thing on my mind.

Best of luck to you. It's 2008. If you really want to get out of that situation, and get your children out of it, you can and will.


clarify please-u mean woman playing Mary.....sm

You do mean the person playing character of Mary in this movie got pregnant as a teen? 


Welcome to the 21st Century, m'dear.........*lol* - not many couples are getting married today (although the gay community sure is trying to get married).....but the numbers are WAY down for hetero couples.........


in any event, it's just a flick/movie - what do you care about the actors/actresses who are playing the characters? 


She's no woman, she IS 16 y/o. She is playing part of Mary
and she got pregnant by her 19 y/o boyfriend.

Anyone out there with a college kid on a full scholarship, out of state, not playing sports???sm

If so, how did they get the scholarship/scholarships to go out of state?  My junior wants to go out of state and I've told her that she has to find the money to go, especially since our state has a lottery paid college education program that pays tuition and some of the books/fees as long as a student keeps their grades at a B-average or higher.  She is thinking about studying broadcasting.  She has no special talents and doesn't do volunteer work or participate in anything but drama club...nothing to make her especially shine.  She is an A/B student.   We don't have the money for out of state tuition and even covering just the expenses that in-state lottery funded fees will be difficult but do-able if we can get her excited about one of the many state schools available.


Anyone have their child figure out how to do this? 


One year really punk rock station starting playing Barry SM
Manilow, Sammy Davis Jr., The Carpenters and goodness knows who else. I never listened to that station, except for that day, only to hear stoners waking up at 2 pm and calling the station asking what was going on.

LOL-I wouldn't think twice about getting the pup sm
When I lost my cocker 2 years I was looking around for another 2 weeks later. I couldn't stand the thought of not having my own dog. Sure, hubby has his Golden, but my faves are cockers and I absolutely fell in love with my new guy's face on the internet. We drove 2 days later about 40 miles and picked him up. I melted when I saw his little face cocking to the side when I spoke to him. Of course, I still miss my other dog and my new one looks just like her, only the personalities are SO different. And the Golden finally got his playmate. He's just like a pup again. When we first introduced the two, we did it real gradual and took our time with it. The new pup was VERY feisty and the Golden wasn't used to that with before. LOL-my other cocker was 14 when she died. She didn't play at all, only slept and ate. Big change for the Golden.
wouldn't do it...
I lived in a mobile home for 9 years before we moved up to a house. I would never go backwards. You're still going to end up paying more. Like others have said, they do depreciate, not appreciate. Lot rent goes up and up and up each year (at least for us it did, started at 125 and ended up at 269 in 9 years). They are definitely not built well, at least ours wasn't and we supposedly had a better made one. Good luck with your decision.
I wouldn't do it...

I wouldn't, either. I have a 4-year-old daughter who knows why I wear a bra and understands she will one day when she's a young woman. I'm sure the girls who do have bras so young are a little heavier, which brings on earlier development. I can understand that then. When we walk in a store, she loves to look at all the pretty pink pajamas and clothes, but she knows she can only look. I'll say maybe Santa will bring her something, but I won't allow her to beg me for something. My boys don't, either. My husband and I tell them before going to the store exactly what we are getting and that's it. I think 5 is too young for a bra. Same thing for pierced earrings, not until she's old enough to understand them and how to take care of them. This is a gimmie-gimmie world, but it's up to us parents.


Good luck!


I wouldn't...
No way would I invite myself and my family to stay at someone else's house. It'd be way uncomfortable and unpleasant, IMHO...if he insists, make him call and ask them.
I wouldn't eat it
Left over food should be refrigerated within 2 hours, otherwise bacteria and such can start growing and it is unsafe to eat
