This is what happens if you give a mouse a cookie.

There is more news from England, but it's stuck at Heathrow airport.
Posted by: Wyo Cowboy | March 30, 2008 at 06:41 PM
How can they find the will to go on? They are so brave.
Posted by: Wench Lizzy | March 30, 2008 at 06:42 PM
Punkin, or when you give a mouse spaghetti. I'm guessing the poor thing had a coronary when it saw the mum.

If you give a cowboy a beer...
Posted by: Wyo Cowboy | March 30, 2008 at 07:13 PM
Wyo, I'd give you a beer, just as soon as my luggage arrives from Heathrow.

Clearly England does not have enough cats ...
Posted by: Steve Haller | March 30, 2008 at 07:27 PM
Well, she WAS looking for soft and cuddly . . .

I'm guessing this isn't the only mouse/rodentin this house

Something tells me you have sisters, Wyo.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | March 30, 2008 at 08:50 PM
well I guess - double that? Or I brought the thread back to life?

Virginia Squealer - wasn't she in Deliverance?
Posted by: Meanie the Blue | March 30, 2008 at 08:56 PM
Only one, annie, but she was/is quite enough. She's movin' out your way, you'd love her. (she votes wrong too.) ;) but I love her still.
Posted by: Wyo Cowboy | March 30, 2008 at 08:58 PM
The mum's a school cook, so I'm guessing the mouse is by now part of the school lunch program.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | March 30, 2008 at 08:59 PM
Meanie, Virginia was the one without the Banjo, and most of her teeth.
Posted by: Wyo Cowboy | March 30, 2008 at 09:00 PM
Wyo - sounds like a guy is involved in this move out my way.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | March 30, 2008 at 09:02 PM
like her, annie, you've some keen intuition. sometimes you amaze me. (really)
Posted by: Wyo Cowboy | March 30, 2008 at 09:05 PM
It's what I do, sir. ;)
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | March 30, 2008 at 09:06 PM
forgot to mention, Wyo - that shirt has seen better days. I know you like it, but...it's time.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | March 30, 2008 at 09:09 PM
If only you knew, annie. if only you knew.
Posted by: Wyo Cowboy | March 30, 2008 at 09:11 PM
Whoa! Is that a mouse under your blanket or are you just glad to see me?
Posted by: Jeff Tompkins | March 30, 2008 at 09:18 PM
make it a rat, Jeff. trust me on this one.
Posted by: Wyo Cowboy | March 30, 2008 at 09:21 PM
Wyo - you're boasting again.
*eyeroll*

Am I the only schlub on here who saw "Stuart Little"? Send the tyke to my house, I
have two catslove the little critters.Posted by: baligurl | March 30, 2008 at 09:35 PM
...wow, daughter, Jane is extremely pretty...is this story an elaborate excuse to print her photograph?
*doubletake*
Wait...she's 13?!?! o_O
Posted by: Joben | March 30, 2008 at 09:42 PM
Joben, before you say another word, scroll down to her mum's pic.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | March 30, 2008 at 09:50 PM
That might merely be the results of havin' a baby @ age 42 ... or not ... ?
Posted by: OtheU(manity) | March 30, 2008 at 09:55 PM
Oh, I was thinkin' she had her at 14, and therefore had no sense of boundaries.
Posted by: baligurl | March 30, 2008 at 09:59 PM
Step carefully, OtheU....you're treading on thin, OLD ice....
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | March 30, 2008 at 10:02 PM
Well, putting aside expectations raised by results-not-typical people like Elizibeth Taylor, Mum ain't looking too bad for 55. She was probably very pretty at one time too...
Posted by: Joben | March 30, 2008 at 10:18 PM
I think it's the hair, Joben. I immediately made an appt to have my roots done.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | March 30, 2008 at 10:21 PM
when they get to be that old, annie an' bali'll be way cuter!
*shamelessly seeks bonus points*
speakin' of "older women" my wife's gonna be a gramma tomorrow. (I'm still in denialhood.)
Posted by: Wyo Cowboy | March 30, 2008 at 10:21 PM
...and she did just have a mouse in the house. Plus I've heard having a teenage daughter can age you like nobody's bizness.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | March 30, 2008 at 10:22 PM
Wow, Wyo. Congrats to your wife! You did buy a teeny pair of roughouts for him, right?
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | March 30, 2008 at 10:27 PM
Wyo, you just got Top Slot in the Will. Seriously. And yes, Annie, gurl children will make a Mum color her hair every other week. Just sayin'...
Posted by: baligurl | March 30, 2008 at 10:28 PM
I got him a saddle, and am buildin' him some furniture. The roughouts are bound to come soon. and maybe a dress pair in red. kinda cool to have extended progeny.
Posted by: Wyo Cowboy | March 30, 2008 at 10:32 PM
Annie and Joben, you would be surprised how much you can learn about moms and teenagers (sisters too) from watching "Keeping Up with the Kardashians". It is so much more than just Kim and her hottie sisters. So often the real hoot is their stepdad Bruce Jenner, who clearly did not know what he was getting into when he married their mom, who by the way is still really hot. I just watched the episode where one of the younger sisters, Kendall, was just entering teen-hood, with all the biological problems that entails, and Bruce just had such a big look of relief on his face when he farmed out the task of explaining about periods and tampons to the older girls. I love how he always has this look on his face like "Oh god, what have those girls got me into this time?" And Wyo, you'd have loved the ending where they put Kendall more at ease and put a smile on her face by showing home movies of her first coming into the world. This show is way more fun than "Growing Up Gotti" if you remember that car crash...
Posted by: Steve Haller | March 30, 2008 at 10:42 PM
I've never watched the show although I've seen it advertised. I didn't know Bruce Jenner was part of it. How's he looking these days?
Posted by: Eleanor | March 30, 2008 at 11:04 PM
I think he's having the time of his life, whatever problems wifey Kris and the girls get him into. I sense a marvelous chemistry between him and Kris and he really does try to understand what the older girls are going through but clearly he appreciates that Kris can talk to the girls and make it all come out right...
Posted by: Steve Haller | March 30, 2008 at 11:09 PM
Wyo- sounds wonderful! I'm sure we'll see pics on your site.
Steve - I've tried to watch that show, but I can't get past the girls sniping at each other. They live not far from me in Calabasas, I believe. Bruce is funny, though, as the clueless yet loving dad who just wandered in and would really like to wander out once he raids the fridge. :)
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | March 30, 2008 at 11:14 PM
CONGRATS, Wyo! You're going to LOVE the Grandpa gig. My grandson is 2, and he's the light of my life.
My mother used to have a plaque that said Grandchildren are God's reward for not killing your own children.
Now I understand what it means -- the best part is he's paying his mother back for everything she ever did to me. And I all I have to do is feed him cookies and send him home!

Finally heinzed the weekend's threads. Lairbo - you had me rooooolling several times! You're brilliant! The rest of y'all...keep it up!! :D

Morning, y'all!
Been a rough few days for me- my estranged father has been sick, so my mom (his first ex-wife)and I drove down to Fla to get him into the hospital (there is WAY more to it and it wasn't as easy as it sounds). He and I haven't hardly spoken for more than 10 years, and that was at a funeral.
I need a hug.

Ugh. Sounds .... trying, doc. Good luck with everything.
Wyo, that is simply outstanding news. I look forward to the day I get to be in your boots. (Except for the spurs. The Mrs. hates those).
Posted by: Meanie the Blue | March 31, 2008 at 06:42 AM
Oh- and Congrats, Wyo!!
Posted by: diverdowndoc | March 31, 2008 at 06:49 AM
Thanks, Meanie!
