And we are not taking pet mice here >at all. I had a small snake decide to try his chance in my house last summer. I went out the front door with the kids; then about 15 minutes later came back in for something and there he lay on my foyer floor... He was dead.. and I dont' think he had a chance with 30 ferrets, 4 dogs, and 3 cats in residence. BUT the mouse who ate a whole bag of corn meal and chewed through a tupperwear cannister lid has eluded live traps, cats, ferrets, dog and was only glimpsed by the kids... Maybe there's a new school for mice on how to invade and live with humans and their pets without getting caught.. Ya think? LOL And on the WEDDING topic. I really don't read them anymore. I read the first few, but with very limited time I just don't read them anymore, but I do think they are entirely appropriate and fun for those who are playing with these dialogs. I forgot who said, "if you're not interested skip it:" but I agree 100%. If you dont' want to read something.. then don't, but don't rain on other's parade. On the other hand - wanting to think the best of everyone.. I don't think she meant to be hateful.. I think she was asking, saying she's confused.. I hope that what's she meant. Also, I miss Alexandra's stories and the chapter stories that several people used to contribute to... Vicki He who learns must suffer. And even in our sleep, pain that cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart. And in our own despair, and against our will, comes Wisdom by the awful Grace of God...Aeschylus [Posted in FML 5628]
