I used to but Monsoon killed two mice in our house this year. I've never seen one in the house before ever but two in one year is two too many. I saw him playing with a live one in our dining room two nights ago. It disappeared before I could get something to catch it with. We bought a humane trap and I put food and water in it and made a nice bed for the mouse. It would be our guest for a couple of nights until the weather warms up mid week and I could release it far far away. Sadly John found it dead in the laundry room this morning. I will use the humane trap all summer next year to catch and release them in the woods. Sorry birds, but no more feedings for awhile.

1. What kind of pen do you regularly use?
Mostly just free giveaway pens or whatever other cheap pens are around.
2.Do you ever give tickets away to a sporting event, concert etc that you suddenly cannot go to or do you try to sell them?
Never had to do this before
3. What disappoints you about people?
Littering and dumping. There is no excuse. About a month ago I was telling a waitress I work with about how earlier that week I saw where someone dumped out their ashtray in a parking lot.
4. Do you ever spring for lunch or dinner with a friend and just tell them to pick it up next time?
Never done this either
5.Secret Box

6. Have you watched any corny Christmas movies?
No
7. Do you think you are fun...a people magnet?
Somewhat
8. Would you rather.... please pick one
Dog sit
Pet sit
Babysit
Plant sit This one. I hate having to pet sit for my neighbor, can't stand babies, and would rather not sit through a boring seminar.
Sit at a kettle at Christmas
Sit through a boring insurance and tax seminar

9.Do you feed wild animals in winter...birds.. squirrels...etc?
The birds and squirrels.
10. Who deserves the bag of coal in their stocking this year?
The 30 people who had a Christmas party at the restaurant I work at.

They had reservations for 7, but many of them showed up late, and they didn't leave until 11:30 PM on Saturday. To make matters worse, I was bussing that night, and didn't feel good, but had to clean it all up. I said a few choice words about them when I got home, and let's just say it was worse than wishing they get coal in their stocking!

11. Is there a celebrity or famous person who you thought you didn't like but you changed your mind about?
Drew Carey. Initially, I didn't like him at all when he started hosting The Price is Right. He has gotten a lot better at it though. Still miss bob however.

A bra. I'm a guy!

I used to think that artificial fur was better for the environment till someone said that real fur will break down in a short time when thrown away, but artificial fur will not rot and break down, and will be in a land fill for a long time after it's thrown away.

Evening all!

1. What kind of pen do you regularly use?
I prefer a Pilot pen, non-retractable, black ink, medium point.

2.Do you ever give tickets away to a sporting event, concert etc that you suddenly cannot go to or do you try to sell them?
First, I offer them to someone I know. If no one I know wants them, I will try to sell them, but only for what paid for them.

3. What disappoints you about people?
That we can't all put aside our differences and just make the world more peaceful.

4. Do you ever spring for lunch or dinner with a friend and just tell them to pick it up next time?
Sure.

5.Secret Squirrel

6. Have you watched any corny Christmas movies?
Not yet. But I do enjoy A Christmas Story. It's set about 30 miles from where I live. And I also love It's a Wonderful Life.

7. Do you think you are fun...a people magnet?
I can be fun at times. But if I were a people magnet, I'd probably reverse my poles!

8. Would you rather.... please pick one
Pet sit. Almost any kind.

9.Do you feed wild animals in winter...birds.. squirrels...etc?
I'd say just the birds, but the squirrels and raccoons come by as well, much to my chagrin.

10. Who deserves the bag of coal in their stocking this year?
Can't think of anyone offhand.

11. Is there a celebrity or famous person who you thought you didn't like but you changed your mind about?
Nah. I may notice their professional development (John Travolta, Ron Perlman), but I can't remember being won over by someone I previously didn't like.

12. What is an item you would NEVER wear?
Gold lamé pants.

13. Do you or did you ever have a fanny pack?
Yep! Still love it for places I don't want to take my purse, but have too much for pockets. (It's okay, you can laugh. ) And I always wore it in front so people couldn't take my stuff if I was standing in a line. I never understood wearing them on your fanny.

14.Do you like. ...
Horseradish Somewhat. But a little bit goes a very long way!
Sriracha
Hot mustard
Wasabi
Cocktail sauce

15. Pick a number 00 -100.......18 (I closed my eyes and hit the keypad)

Peppermint Bark Cheesecake - Cooking Classy

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE....SEE YA NEXT WEEK.

Plant sit
Sit at a kettle at Christmas
Sit through a boring insurance and tax seminar

I read archived newspaper articles all the time & found an article from North Carolina in the 1920's that announced a county's first ever "Christmas Cheer" program & the 50 households most in need of "charity". And was surprised to note that the #1 most requested item for Christmas ... was coal.

11. Is there a celebrity or famous person who you thought you didn't like but you changed your mind about? Russel Brand
