freakyflygirl 0 #1 September 13, 2003 If there is one thing I am absolutely riduculously terrified of dealing with, it's mice!!!!! I am currently being held hostage by another mouse. Since the deep fryer incident I've gotten a kitten and she loves to play with them. This is no joke, she was throwing it, literally across the room. NOW it's hiding under my vacum!!!!!!!! I'm thinking of turning the darn thing on it's still plugged in and the mouse is still under there. It's a Hoover and a very small mouse, will it work?????? Not to mention tonight that the "outside" cat has delivered a mouse and a toad to the front door tonight. HELP!!!!!!!!!!! I've suddenly turned into one of those weak girly, girls that I desperately try not to be!!! Sorry if I offend any of you animal lovers...lol I think I need to seek some professional help for this issue, I really do!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
freakyflygirl 0 #2 September 13, 2003 Murophobia, Musophobia, Suriphobia: apparantly what us freak's "condition" is called. The fear of mice. While surfing for this I found some strange phobias out there, such as the fear of peanut butter sticking to the roof of your mouth and the fear of the color yellow...Kinda makes me feel a little more normal . I just took a xanax and I'm now ready to go take on that little guy. I've got a scooper and bowl to start with, a box to put over him if that doesn't work and a meat cleaver if all else fails... Wish me luck!!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hooked 0 #3 September 13, 2003 I am with you on this one!!!! One of my biggest fears are mice and even worse rats. It gives me chills just to think about it. That is one reason I would never have a cat, because they are so pleased to bring you their little gifts! Me, I would leave until it was gone or find someone to get rid of it for me. You animal lovers are gonna hate me for this, but have you put any traps down?

skycat 0 #4 September 13, 2003 My freaky fear is grasshoppers, I completely freak out when they jump on me. And yes it is pure entertainment watching me walk in from the landing area at lost prarie. Even better is watching me try to pack my rig with some of the little buggers in the cells.Fly it like you stole it! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

moodyskydiver 0 #6 September 13, 2003 Mice and grasshoppers don't bother me.Right now I'm having a problem with a cricket.I'm not afraid of it or anything, its just hiding somewhere in my house and won't STFU! I've tried to find it to toss his little chirruping ass outside,but its sneaky and gets quiet as soon as I get close.I'm almost hoping my cat will find him and eat him even though crickets are said to be good luck.I just want the chirruping little fucker to be quiet so I can get drunk alone and in peace. ok drunken rant over...time for a refill.

murrays 0 #9 September 13, 2003 Mousetrap baited with peanut butter. Our fearless hunter brought a mouse in a couple of months ago. It ran under an old writing desk. I tipped up the desk to let Fred (the cat) get it. He did, I ran to the door to open it. Fred dropped the mouse. Mouse ran under the piano. A little harder to tip. I got a long ruler and flicked the mouse out from under the piano. Fred grabbed it, I ran to the door to open it. Fred dropped the mouse. It ran back under the piano and up into the piano. I took the piano apart as much as I could to see where the mouse was hiding. I couldn't find it. Fred walked away and went to sleep. A couple of hours later, so did I. The next day I bought a couple of mousetraps, loaded them up with peanut butter and a few hours later the mouse was in the garbage. My back was sore from shoving the piano all over the living room but the rodent problem was solved.-- Murray "No tyranny is so irksome as petty tyranny: the officious demands of policemen, government clerks, and electromechanical gadgets." - Edward Abbey Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Squeak 17 #10 September 13, 2003 I have 2 thing that make go nuts. 1. Flying Cockroaches, we have some bigun here and when they take flight, I'm no where to be seen 2. Spider Webs, (not spiders) if i walk through a spider web (especially at night) I go berserk I have this whole song and dance routine that I go through, those that have witnessed it laugh their fuckin head off at me. But I do it every time.You are not now, nor will you ever be, good enough to not die in this sport (Sparky) My Life ROCKS! How's yours doing? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
freakyflygirl 0 #11 September 13, 2003 QuoteQuotethen they will be running over you at night Oh....that's not even funny! J I second that..., gives me the creeps just to think about it and trust me I have!!! Yeah JT everytime my cat brings me a mouse, I pet her and give her a treat by her food dish. So now that seems to be where she'll drop them after she plays with them for a couple hours . Well guys, I'm in the sticks here, I've got mice, spiders, spider webs, crickets (one in the house right now!!! ), grasshoppers and every other critter you can think of, except for the cocroaches. So I take it nobody will be visiting me anytime soon ...lol. FYI, it took 2 xanax, a stick, my entire living room moved around, a cat, box, scooper, and one very brave guy to come help me out to get rid of that little shit!!! Unfortunately the only thing that really worked was the brave guy...Who I thank VERY much!!!! I hate this time of year, when temps start to drop they all seem to want to get in HERE!!! That's ok, I'm heading to the dz soon to go learn to pack!!! I'll probably have a pile of rodents waiting for me when I get home Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
