The Whine thread.

That's a good idea. But hey at least a family member didn't set your house on fire last night my dad set mine on fire.

[aadarshinah]

did it at least scare the mice away?

[WarpGirl]

My cat does that.

So, yesterday I cleaned the garage, remember? Well, apparently the possum wasn't as gone as mom promised and a new, greater mess was created.... All my hard work, wasted.... I'm on strike (garage cleaning wise) until she calls an exterminator.

What's keeping you from just taking a gun and transform the critter to something dead, courtesy of Haeckler & Koch? Sure saves a heck of money on the exterminator. An axe does the job as well if there's a lack of weaponry...

[Distracted]

Animal control is who you want. Exterminators are for bugs. Or if you would rather catch and release than kill him you need a Have-a-Heart trap and a nearby patch of woods to release him in.

[aadarshinah]

one, no gun. two, I've never actually seen the animal. If I could find it.... maybe, but all I ever find are it's leavings.... idk, I told my mom to deal with the removal. I just do the cleanup.

le sigh. It's gotten worse too. My brother is "singing" along to random rap songs at top volume.... not because he actually likes the music, which I think I could handle, but because he finds memorizing their lyrics to be an amusing hobby.

LOL, guilty of that, too I'm actually a pretty decent singer (was lead singer in a band during my university days). But when I had a beer or twelve, I'm known to listen to Russian music on headphones and singing along, which is not a good idea, since you can't hear yourself. I've been told it sounds like people being tortured

[Alelou]

Yeah, it always does. I'm not a great singer to begin with, but when you add that weird mumbling you do when you don't really know the lyrics well but you can't help singing along anyway .... and you don't even hear yourself so you don't realize how terrible you are ... oh boy. After just one day I realized I must never ever listen to my mp3 player with headphones at work.

[WarpGirl]

I love singing, and I'm pretty good. And I even like some Rap. But if it's one of those songs that just repeats the same swear words over and over, hit him on the back of the head and knock him unconscious.

[Distracted]

Or if you actually like your brother and would prefer not to concuss him you could always get your own iPod and a set of earplugs to drown him out. That's what my two older kids do. Not that they like each other, but I have forbidden them to try to kill each other in my presence.

Now, that's a sensible request if I ever saw one

[aadarshinah]

well, he's gone for the weekend on some national something or other trip, but, for the record, I have like these ultra-insolated headphones that make it difficult to hear anyone when I'm listening to music... yet, even with them, I could hear my dear brother's dulcet tones... did I mention I had to get up at 5am to take him to the train station for this trip too?

[WarpGirl]

Oh Dis I didn't mean she should give the kid blunt force trauma. Just shut him up.

[Kotik]

Which a blunt force trauma does very effectively

[WarpGirl]

Well yeah... But it's also illegal. Not to mention a tad extreme.
