I'd take a mouse faster than a centipede any day. I will and have nearly killed myself getting away from one.

He says, 'It's highly unlikely that there is no mouse droppings...blah blah blah'<br /><br />All I know is that I heard something chewing away in the corridor. And why is there wood splinters? I know I didn't do it. And furthermore maybe the mouse went outside to do his business. Maybe there is a big pile of droppings wherever he is hiding!<br /><br />I went downstairs when I got home from work. Friend left and won't return until the weekend so I had to check them myself. We put peanut butter on them and still no mouse. Okay, I confess, I only checked one trap, I was too scared to check the one in the bathroom.

I mean we bought out the 99cent store of rat traps(glue). I mean we caught two and three mice on each trap.

My colleagues probably thought I'd had a mental breakdown.<br /><br />I understand how you feel though. I don't hate rodents, more like I'm indifferent. However, snakes and cockroaches give me the creeps. Cockroaches I can easily kill. With snakes there's this horrid fascination. I can watch them from a distance.<br /><br />My younger sister is the scaredy cat in our house. She panics even when you say 'Boo'. She just got married in July this year and has suddenly become very strong. When I asked why, I discovered that her husband is even more of a scaredy cat than she is but only when it comes to rodents, snakes e.t.c. They once found a rat in their apartment, and he jumped on the bed screaming 'baby, kill it, kill it'. On another occasion, when he was alone, he actually left the apartment and moved to his mother's place until his elder brother killed the rat. Now that might not sound funny but just picture a 6' 3" almost 200lbs manly man doing that and you get the picture. She said she thought she was easily scared and then married someone who was worse. She had to grow a spine fast!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4973571331135049507.post-73488238771765323082010-10-20T07:10:04.434-04:002010-10-20T07:10:04.434-04:00Casey, don't move back to Arizona.

Once, we had one stuck in our piano and it sounded like he/she/it was playing a tune, running across the strings. When my husband attempted to get rid of it, pandemonium broke out (courtesy of moi)!! <br /><br />I saw a glimpse of a tail, literally screamed like Freddy Kruger was out to get me and RAN up the stairs, into the bedroom, slammed the door behind me, LOCKED it (you never know with these super-rodents who can work a doorknob!) and JUMPED on the bed, all the while still screaming like Freddy was after me!! <br /><br />I don't what happened to he/she/it after that as I told my husband I don't want to know what he did with he/she/it, as long as it's out of the house. <br /><br />I haven't heard the piano playing any weird solos in the middle of the night, so I'm hoping that he/she/it is gone! <br /><br />Ugh!!!

Oh btw, my friend was making fun of me and my daughter because he thinks the mice in the house are teeny ones that you see in a lab. We told him that the full grown ones are the size of your forearm. He didn't laugh so hard after that and later asked me if I had a baseball bat. I asked him what he thought he was going to do with a bat and he admitted that if the mouse was as big as we said, he was going to use it to kill the mouse. Hmmm...a baseball bat?<br /><br />And the bat flying around. I swear to you, I would have stroked out if a flying rat was in the house! You guys are making me feel better. I'm still laughing at the image of Casey being chased in the tub by the mouse.

I live in Iowa and during the summer months the bats love to come out around 7:30 to 8 p.m. and fly around eating up all the bugs and insects flying about in the night air. Well the house I used to live in used to get a bat in the house at least once a year, we used to get those big dumb bats... can you imagine rats with wings flying around in your house....eeewww! Since it was just me and my mom and younger brother, the oldest and youngest person in the house would scream like two little girls until I got it out of the house... One year a bat got into my mom's room and she had a fit... my brother actually left her in the room with the bat, closing her in with it as he ran down the hallway screaming in a high pitched tone--- you know the one Chico and DeBarge used when they used to sing... After I got it out of the house they both were so afraid of it returning to do another fly-by that they both ran into my room with a blanket and pillow to spend the night-- to see the way she hauled ass out of her room you would never have known she was a big woman (l.o.l). <br />One time we had a couple of guest over- it was a mother and her daughter- we were just watching t.v., laughing, cracking jokes and bat just swooped out of no where and started flying all round the first floor. Well me and the daughter ran onto the front porch and as I'm holding the screen door open for the bat to exit all we both heard was my mom and her mom screaming like that little pig on the Geico commercial--- she and I both darn near peed ourselves cause we were laughing that hard it was so hilarious. <br /><br />-392OhMyGoodnessAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4973571331135049507.post-76381012429425890962010-10-19T19:56:07.247-04:002010-10-19T19:56:07.247-04:00OMG OMG!!!

When I was 6 monthes pregnant (w/ twins so I was huge) I got in the shower and looked down and a mouse literally started chasing me around the tub. I totally did pee myself, thank goodness I was in the shower! I jumped out and woke up my husband, I don't know what I expected him to do I mean it was an alive and very active mouse!!! Whatever it was I expected it was NOT what he did. He went and got a towel, wrapped it around his fist and punch the stinkin thing!!! I almost peed myself AGAIN. Then like the emotional basketcase that I was I totally started crying, until he told me he had just stunned it and showed me it was still alive. I still look in the tub before I get in just to make sure nothings there even though we have since moved.Caseynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4973571331135049507.post-50899905199984616312010-10-19T18:20:57.381-04:002010-10-19T18:20:57.381-04:00LOL@Kolby saying even the way millipede is spelled...LOL@Kolby saying even the way millipede is spelled creeps you out!Pepper Pacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12393074717699447086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4973571331135049507.post-26380472107019829752010-10-19T15:22:41.976-04:002010-10-19T15:22:41.976-04:00Hahaha..giiiiirl!
