years ago and get electrocuted on the wiring. Needless to say the kitchen smelled like something dead for DAYS. I tore the room apart and never found it. When we took the front electrical panel off 3 months later to replace a report, there it was! Looked like it was crucifed. All bones and they all fell out all over the stove. Yuk.

Any chance a mouse is somehow
caught in the fan? Although when this happened to my mother's, it caused it to quit running and she had to call a repairman. On discovering the problem, she heard him muttering to himself, "Why me? Why me?"
Ham is in the oven
Looking for some new ideas for side dishes, rather than the usual potato salad and baked beans. Anybody got a favorite to share? Thanks!
the infamous house mouse
Get one of those "kind" traps. They're a metal container that the mouse can get into but not out of. Put some food inside (they love peanut butter) and then check the trap once a day. You can hold it up and peak inside. If you see any mice, take it out to a field and release them.
my cat does this toy mouse-fetch thing too and
Mighty Mouse - Here I come to Save the Day!!
Use your mouse to move the cursor
up through the maze, all the way to the box at the end. Once you've done it without touching the sides, it'll progress to the next maze which is more difficult. 
Right?! It's like what the last thing a mouse sees.
 14 pounds eh? She's just big boned! Those vet bills are killer, aren't they?! Our boy, Norman, the MaineCoon look-alike who went missing, twice had crystals or ash in his urine that required 2 emergency vet visits and catheterization or else his bladder would have ruptured. Those bills combined were over $800...and the darned cat was a STRAY we picked out of the dumpster of the apartment building we were living in at the time. Nosiree...ain't nuthin' for free I tell ya! They are so worth it though and I really do think they appreciate all that we do for them.
It I not mistaken, when mine did this my mouse
was going bad. Can't remember exactly, but I do know this is the not the original mouse I had when I first got this computer.
We had a mouse a couple of months ago
and we have 2 indoor cats that definitely did nothing to scare the mouse. We could hear it scratching when things got really quiet but he was very tricky about moving around and totally avoiding the traps. We got a plug in device called Pest OFFense. It is about the size of a garage door opener. It does have lights on it so we know it was working but it does not make a noise that we can hear. Within a few days we heard nothing and saw absolutely no evidence of a mouse.
samantha. mouse or keyboard?

wireless mouse and keyboard sm
Does anyone have any problems with theirs? When we press on an icon or something in the browser it seems to take a long time. I find the computer freezes up at time. I told my husband maybe is is the wireless equipment. He tells me know. I only have had it since Xmas.
TIA
No, I wouldn't do that. Why playing cat and mouse?
It is your husband's duty to settle this in a way that the wife and the father are both content.
Aw, DH put a pot roast in the oven
when I wasn't paying attention. He even put in parsnips - my favorite part.
Good hubby.
After oven drying...
You can also grind them up into a powder to add to soups and things that you would normally add tomato paste to. It works out great!
Wasn't she on the Micky Mouse Club?
I thought I read that somewhere.
My female cat plays fetch with her toy mouse
runs to get it, picks up in her mouth, and returns/drops it at your feet. So cute! She also sometimes cries very loudly over and over when I have the oven on as if she is in distress. I have no idea why! Any ideas? LOL. My male cat sits in the window and talks to the birds, a very odd chirping sound he only does with the birds. They're just too cute sometimes!
Dutch Oven Cooking
Hi - Glad to see you here again. I still missed your piggy "baby" - likes to hide, I guess. Cold here too. It is really easy to cook in the fireplace or on an iron stand in your back yard or a hole in the ground. I will email you some recipes and look at all the fun you will have! Nothing tastes as good as dutch oven food! Get ready for a new dress size! Your husband will be your slave if you feed him this food, I swear. Have to know, how much is wood a cord out there where you are? It is 492.00 here, and that is horrendous. We used to cut our own and it was basically free with sweat labor.
How to keep baked potatoes hot out of the oven?
Our church is having a potluck Februrary 21 where the men prepare the main dishes . DH had decided to bring baked potatoes with all the toppings . He will probably bake about 40 potatoes . How can they be kept hot ? I thought of lining a roasting pan with towels & covering it with its lid . Any suggestions?
I have both - gas cooktop & electric oven sm
My oven is a wall oven, and I am so spoiled by it that it could be a make or break factor in whatever house we buy after this one. I love the fact that the stovetop is gas with the ability to cool down a pan immediately when cooking without having to move it. I had never had a gas stovetop before this and it did take a little getting used to, but I love it now and would never go back to electric without a fight.
A 'Panic Mouse' battery-operated toy is great - sm
for young, frisky cats. Mine has kept 2 consecutive cats occupied, but currently it's set aside with a wire that came loose inside the it doesn't run. (Have to get my brother to take a look at it.) I also have a cat-video, but kitty has to be in just the right mood to watch it. She also enjoys GOLF!
Try rotating cat-toys. If they lose interest in some of them, hide them for a while, and when you bring them out a couple weeks later, it's like they're brand-new to the kitties sometimes! I also made a toy that hangs in a doorway. I sewed a mini-mouse to the end of a long shoestring, attached to a stretchy ponytail holder and then to another shoestring (the ponytail holder gives it some fun rebound when the pull on the mouse and then let go). It's hung from the middle of the doorway by a small nail. That, too, sometimes has to be set aside, but when it's kitty's toy of choice for the morning, it sure has her jumping high!
Finally, I feed the birds, squirrels and hummingbirds outside my bedroom window, and the cats like to sit on a tall dresser next to the window and watch them.
Back when I used to work away from home all day, I used to hide cat-treats in various places throughout the house for my cat to hunt for during the day. My first cat could find them ANYWHERE... her nose was like radar. My second cat, however, had to have them always hidden in the exact same places, or he couldn't find them. Still, it was a nice diversionary tactic I used just before I headed out the door each morning.
At other times I put odds and ends on my kitchen table intentionally for a bored cat to come along and knock off the edge. (Plastic spoons, an eraser, pens or pencils, hair clips, cat toys, hair scrunchies, etc.)
Got a computer question. I have a mouse with a wheel on top but what I have noticed lately is the
screen you are typing on will sometimes keep rolling down by itself. Is this a mouse problem or computer problem. It just keeps moving down by itself.
What is the best temp to cook fish at in the oven. nn

Lately I've been forgetting to turn OFF the oven!
Sunday we had dinner at 5ish, when it was time for bed at 10 and I shut all the lights off, I noticed some extra lighting on the stove...it was telling me the temperature I had set it to and that it was still on!...and it's a gas oven too! I think I've done this about 5 times this year now. Wicked, wicked not so s
Oven dried tomato recipes

Dried roma tomatoes http://www.cdkitchen.com/recipes/recs/684/Oven-Dried-Tomatoes106460.shtml
you can wrap them in alu foil and put them into the oven (preheated).....
But then they do not come out crispy, rather soggy, but good, nevertheless.
Mounds of batteries needed; the wireless mouse has a definite
Question. Which oven rack do you normally use when baking meats or what have you. Never sure if
bottom rack is best or middle rack which seems rather far away from the heat.
Can someone tell me what temperature you bake cod fillets at in the oven and for how long. It is
about 1-1/2 pounds. I have a hard time with fish knowing when it is done. Do you put it on a baking sheet. I want just plain old fish just butter and lemon on it.
Anyone have recipe for chicken teriyaki on a stick in the oven? sm
I have the boneless chicken, the skewers, the teriyaki sauce, how can I do this in the oven without ruining everything or starting a fire? Kinda stuck in the snow here and making the best of preparing a menu. Also, if anyone still has the hashbrown casserole, I have all the ingredients (I think) but lost the recipe amts., etc.
I also cooked mine for a short time and then put them in the oven and
from time to time would baste with sauce. I had the oven low and cooked them slowly and they were wonderful. My family just loved them when I invited them over for dinner. You made me hungry for them. It has been a long time since I made them. Mine were not fancy, just good!!! Good luck!
A double duh here
I was answering the post above me when they said Merck would benefit off these injections. Yes, I said, that is what most pharmaceutical companies are in the business for. I use medications, my husband does, my whole family does. I really don’t understand what you are trying to say?? This in no way will effect me whether it is mandatory or not.
Double Yea to Andy!
Good for him! Good for you!
I will not tell you what my first thought was when you wrote "detasseling", but I can assure you it had nothing to do with corn!
My son is a college student. He has a job on campus. I pay the college bills he pays for whatever he needs while at school. This is his 2nd year and so far so good - he's never asked me for money. He was home on break a few weeks ago and was so excited to show me this t-shirt he bought at a Goodwill store. It was black with a very large photo of Michael Bolton on it. He thought it was a riot, and so didn't I because we both have a warped sense of humor. He is a very preppy-looking kid, usually wears a white t-shirt with an opened collared shirt over it, nice jeans, clean-cut, short hair. The Michael Bolton t-shirt is SO unlike him. He's now looking for a shirt with David Hasselhoff on it. You will may be entertained by what your son buys.
Enjoy these years, they are THE best!
Thanks. I will be sure to double check this. nm

Say what, in the south we have double
names for males also, since when did you think it stopped at females?
Funny that the double name comes up
I was going to add that to my original post, as both of her girls have double names. So, for the third girl, she wants to keep it the same. They have kind of given up on that tho, since they haven't been successful at finding anything. Thanks a bunch!!!
double standard
Men have been doing it for centuries....marrying and/or keeping mistresses about 15-20 years younger and nothing is said about it, other than "You lucky dog."
Why is it so frowned upon in society for women to consider the same option?
Ditto and NEVER again. I'd rather pay double! lol
Amazing what some people will do to save a buck.
Oh no, we're going to H E double L!
Are you even capable of making a point without the scare tactics? And you wonder why bible thumpers like you are laughed at.
Food safety question - left chicken in oven overnight (sm)
I baked two pans of chicken last night and one of them I forgot and left in the oven all night. It has not been touched or opened since being cooked. If I reheat it today do you think it is ok to eat or would you be afraid of food poisoning???
What is the best way to make a plain old center cut pork roast in the oven and at what temperature.
I dont want to add things to it just cook it. Not sure to cover or what to do.
I have a glasstop stove. I burned up a brand new oven glove on it becauuse sm
I have no concept of "surface is HOT." It stunk up the place and ruined a new set of oven gloves, but it was okay. I am very careful of it now, because a HOT SURFACE light means it is HOT.
duh...but it was a brain fart.
It is considered a double negative, sm
and not standardly use. Use "regardless", or "irrespective". It is considered bad grammar.
According to Wikipedia, double-wides just
depreciate more slowly than single-wides:
"Others have strongly limited or forbidden all single-wide models, which tend to depreciate in value more rapidly than modern double-wide models."
And modern double-wides depreciate less quickly than older double-wides:
"Newer manufactured homes, particularly double-wides, tend to be built to much higher standards than their predecessors and meet the building codes applicable to most areas. This has led to a reduction in the rate of value depreciation of most used units."
Unfortunately that's still losing money instead of making it.
I double lock the door and have a
security latch as there's been a lot of break-ins at gun point lately. We live in an apt and since I work overnight I've actually had people that thought my door was their door and tried to unlock it...drunk ones, of course.
I've thought about leaving my keys in the car and the windowns down (1999 car with 137,000 miles on it)....JOKING.
Are we going to h-e-double-hockeysticks in a handbasket or what? NM

modular/manufactured (double) are built the same
the modular comes in sections, the manufactured comes in halves. The specifics are the same.

I'm short so I always have to pull my straps double all the way
I get mine at Walmart and Target. but I was thinking maybe if I get a few good bras they would stay. So I went to VS and holy moly...$50 bucks for a bra? I'll stick with my slippin straps!
You can buy a single/double burner at lab supply - sm
or jewerly supply places for about $30. We (jewelers) use it to heat up pickle solution (cleans the metal after soldering). I bought might from a place called Rio Grande, big jeweler supplier. You can probably find one used on ebay or craigs list though.
