yeah, before you borrow a cat, make sure it's a killer, lol. Both of ours are strictly of the "no kill" variety, when it comes to mice.

In our The last batch of cats, one of our girl cats was a fierce hunter. She was an indoor outdoor cat, but retired the last years of her life to be an indoor cat, and no more a threat to birds and small animals.
I wouldn't mind borrowing a mouser cat, but DH wouldn't want it, I'm sure. His mother had a fear of cats, and so DH just doesn't like them at all.
Good to know I'm not alone.. We are definitely doing much better with making sure food is put away.. I recently bought a bread box just for this reason, but as it appears our mouse squatters have a sweet tooth, we also have to lock up our candy.Quote:

The dysfunction of that group is profound. I don’t even know where to start, but here’s one tidbit: it has a treasury of over $20,000. There is one signatory on the account, only one. That person has failed to respond to phone calls, emails, etc. etc., due to health problems apparently. She was once very competent, but that was years ago. the president of the organization said he was going to drive to her house and insist on being let in to get records.
I was toying with the idea of volunteering for a very specific job that would be at the committee level, not at the board level. But after seeing how extremely bad the organization is, I’m not going to do it.
Only one signatory and she doesn’t respond back? Yikes b
It seems like the hits just keep on coming when living in a small village like I do - in the past month we lost an adult man from a massive heart attack, then the 37 year old female alcoholic with a failing liver, then a few days ago our handyman T-boned a 19 year old female drunk driver who blew through her stop sign (he ended up with two cracked vertebrae and a broken sternum, so he's off work for many months) and now I just read this morning that a friend's 26 year old step-daughter has died suddenly.
When living in a village such as mine, there are really no degrees of separation like when I lived in Ann Arbor.
I'm sorry to hear of all those local tragedies, SQ.
I am so tired of being cold in this house. We have the woodstove going and spaceheaters. Always try to delay using the oil furnace as long as possible. Even when it is on, there is no heat on the second floor. Just cannot get warm today, or last night under three blankets. It's like my body can't acclimate anymore.
What space heaters are you using? As I found when my furnace was broken two winters ago, the oil filled radiators type are much more energy efficient and heat better than others, even though they take a bit to warm up. Have you thought about an electric blanket or mattress pad?
