domiguy -> hijacking. (7/30/2010 10:47:13 PM)
http://www.collarchat.com/m_3332816/mpage_7/key_/tm.htm#3339056 quote: ORIGINAL: DomImus This is an awesome story although I am very sorry that poor woman had to endure that. Woman 2, Thugs 0 "That was what Linda Smith (a pseudonym) was thinking after two thugs broke into her Oklahoma apartment. One was holding a weapon to her throat (she initially thought it was a knife but it turned out to be a screwdriver) and the other was pacing back and forth while holding her purse and demanding her money and valuables. She screamed, and was told if she screamed again, she'd be dead. She was doing as police recommend in robberies – comply with a robber's demands. But her Lady Smith & Wesson .38 special, which she carries by permit, was hidden in her purse – and the purse was being held by one of the attackers. Then the situation, suddenly, got much, much worse: One of the robbers demanded that she take off her clothes. "Come on, what are you waiting for," he told her as he started to yank on her sweatpants, trying to take them off. Smith pleaded for her safety and distracted the attackers by telling them she would get her money, which was "in my purse." The robbers inexplicably allowed her to drop to her knees and crawl across the floor to her purse, which the second attacker had dropped. She reached inside, and the first shot was clear of the muzzle and into the torso of one of the attackers before she even pulled the weapon clear of the purse. Four more shots followed shortly and, in the end, one of the attackers was dead and the second was hospitalized facing a murder rap for having participated in a felony in which someone died." Edited for formatting and spelling. There was no question furthered by the op....Just a statement about a story where many of the "facts" as portrayed in this story seemed to be "slightly" contradicted by other more "reputable" news sources.'' The facts as described by the website listed are essentially correct in that a woman defended herself agianst two intruders and shot them both, killing one. The thread jumped all over the place from the rights of gun ownership to training to how easy or what provisions are in place that one must endure in order to own a fire arm. Then this happened.... quote: ORIGINAL: VideoAdminRho quote: We have so hijacked this thread. Yes, you have.

Maybe thread evolution and derailment is decided over the toss of a coin...or if some people start getting upset or reporting for derailing. I just figure that it is like being in a room with several friends (and sometimes not-so-friends) and different conversations are spawned. Sometimes the ones in one group that are running around noisily playing tag help lighten the tension in the room when the serious discussions get too...tense. quote: What do you do if you think you have a mouse in your Domicile but it doesn't like peanut butter?

He has bested me so far....I believe his undoing will be the Cheerios. I have had to deal with mice several times...mice can be so stupid that they run by a trap without noticing it and get stuck, or run under one's feet and get crunched...are you sure this isn't a smarter...rat? Poison is good if no pet can get to it, but if the mouse dies behind something that cannot be moved, ugh. Nastybad stink for months. Glue traps...I felt sorry for them. Stuck there like that, taking days to die <shudders>. Change the location of the traps if they are left unmolested. Get a small box of hamster seeds and stick those to the peanut butter. We had mice that would snap them, then walk right up and eat that cheese or peanut butter. Maybe it was really a rat... Is it just the skittering sound that bothers you, or has it been chewing holes through your Cheerios box or something? If it likes something, stick that to the peanutbutter. Honestly, the best solution for mice has already been invented...a cat. Can you borrow one for a few days? Um, the next thing I mention is going to sound disgusting but I'll say it anyway. When I was at that FEMA trailer for a year, everyone else had a problem with mice and rats...except those of us with cats. So, I helped a few of my neighbors out. I used the scooper to empty out the solid stuff in the cat litter, and waited until it got funky (I had three cat litters and 6 cats), and then my old cat litter was shook/poured around the outside of their trailer. Rodents smelled cats and found an easier place. This next part will be even worse so... Through pet catalogs, there are sprays to keep certain animals out of one's yard. What most people won't tell you is that these are urines of certain predators. I can't remember which, but maybe some are from lions or wolves. The organic gardening books I have tell me how to keep out those pests, and...neighborhood cats and dogs from peeing or worse near my roses. The books suggested urine from a human FEMALE mixed with some unscented ammonia and water and sprayed around. That did the trick. You see where I am leading with this, right? Cat pee in water with some ammonia might do the same thing with mice. It would be great if somewhere on the web, there is piss warfare against mice...in a nicely sanitized can. Or...someone needs to make a mouse capture device that has a fertile female in one end, happy with bedding, food, water, and a wheel...the guy mouse comes closer though the open end of the cage and bingo, enslaved by love. [:D] Mice love dry catfood too. I used to raise them by the hundreds as part of a homeschool project and traded them in to pet stores in exchange for store credit. quote: Now I am trying cheese and Cheerios to lure mus musculus to it's death. It's a battle of wits, two creatures enter my Domicile only one shall leave alive. I think they only live for about two years, so maybe he's so smart because he is old...he might end this duel unfairly by dying of old age. [sm=rofl.gif] If this is a female...likely she is preggies, and I am trying to remember how many babies mine had every few weeks or so. Probably around a dozen. I only bought two, and ended up selling thousands...just sayin. [:D] Also, they get pregnant while they are still nursing the first batch, and I think they can fend for themselves by 2 weeks. I wonder if anyone's pet rodent escaped. Best of luck over this. If you don't have a cat, poisoning is the easiest route...a mouse has got to eat. ~~~~~~~~~ I saw that thread over the woman who shot her would be rapists. I was too busy throwing a party to type any responses, and I didn't want to go to Snopes to see it disproved. There must be some magical beliefs left undisturbed in this world. I stayed out of it. ~~~~~~~~~ quote: (I have been saying "adore" quite a bit lately. Could it be that I have fallen in love?) I couldn't pretend I hadn't seen that. I hope you have...and I hope you "break a leg." (There, it isn't jinxed.)

Did you know that your foot is the same length as the distance between your wrist and your elbow? Just a suggestion...SIT DOWN before you try to see if this is indeed true......'specially YOU, Holly!

Anyone who can't catch mice with peanut butter is a pussy. Is that too on topic? catching mice with peanut butter is on my bucket list

The way I see it, news of you falling is more of an update than a hijack.

quote: Now I am trying cheese and Cheerios to lure mus musculus to it's death. one tiny drop of vegetable oil on the center of the trap should do it.

myotherself -> RE: hijacking. (7/31/2010 5:08:02 AM)
I can't lure my mouse with peanut butter, cheese or anything else. Maybe if I unplugged it from the computer it may feel more inclined to find the trap.[:)]

Sometimes the ones in one group that are running around noisily playing tag help lighten the tension in the room when the serious discussions get too...tense. ~FR~ Quoted for truth. I've noticed a fairly heavy hand with deleting posts. You know, you spend some time flirting, being silly but also saying something serious, but even then the post gets deleted. I've been really frustrated by that. Several of my fairly serious posts have been deleted because I was also somewhat silly in them. (Or at least that's what I'm presuming is what happened.) So ... rather than waste my thoughts, I'm kind of staying away. It's a waste of my time to spend half an hour crafting my thoughts into something resembling a clever / serious / passionate response. It's like throwing away my hard work. Going out on a limb here... I find it insulting. But by the same token, I don't think the world revolves around me, and I don't think CM is going to fall apart or there will be any crying salt tears of despair because my thoughts weren't represented. It is what it is. Meh. As to the gun control thread: In reality, conversations stray. That's how it works. Talking about issues around protecting oneself and the laws that deal with that seem pretty much on target in my mind. But I"m not a mod. If I want to talk about it, I'll take my conversation where I can talk about it. I'll call Aynne! By the way, what was Christine's old tag? Hell yes, I'm pro gun! I'm not gonna stand around with a rolling pin and hope for the best. (tried to find the rolling pin lady emoticon, but evidently I'm going blind). best, sunshine (who can shoot a gun pretty darned well) p.s. Having not talked about Cheerios, mice or oily peanut butter, I fully expect this post to be deleted, and I will have wasted 15 minutes. Oh well. Now, I've got a book to write. Where did I put that dang flash drive?

next to the peanut butter jar.

Is someone upset? If so- I do not see why.

DesFIP -> RE: hijacking. (7/31/2010 6:49:54 AM)
We are presently mouse free. I tried the snap traps with peanut butter, also the glue traps. Nada. I moved up to the traps that have two sections so the mouse can't get the peanut butter and escape. They work but then you have to get the mouse out of the trap. More importantly is that they breed like rabbits proverbially do. So we bought rodent bait at the farm store and put the bait in the attic and under the stove. We also put it into bait stations that the dog cannot get into and we put the bait stations inside cabinets so the dog can't even get to the bait station. I think we had two rounds of that and presently we are mouse free. But it will soon be fall when all good mouses look for warm homes and we'll have to do another couple of rounds.

You gotta blow them meeses to pieces...then you hug them and squeeze them and call them George. Or maybe it's the other way around.

Haven't seen any mice but when visiting New York on one occasion, I saw a rat the size of a yorkie. What the hell are they feeding these monsters?!

I can see conversations that just turn into chat room banter, and that is maybe Less Desirable. But how were we derailing on the gun control thread? We were expanding on a topic, yes, but I don't see any OP being derailed. I am going to go along with what the mods want, but do we really need to start ANOTHER thread just to deal with a closely related topic? My Froot Loops have been recalled. This makes me sad.
