RN: Your story might be worse, but at least your mouse is gone. I'm still having a stand off with mine.
Thank goodness I had leftover coffee in my pot from yesterday so I could just nuke it.

RN There's already 2 mice in the traps I sets yesterday! That was fast. I am going to put 2 traps back where those were.

RN Well, I checked an hour ago, and the mouse is gone. I'm guessing he went down the drain. I took the box and threw it into the woods on the off chance he's hiding in one of the bottom flaps (I'm not checking.)
I currently have an upside down bowl covering the drain so he can't come back up. This is really screwing me up with trying to clean the kitchen. I don't want to move the bowl and have a mouse pop up at me.

RN I just tried it. It works! Thank you! (I still have to get my smoked turkey. I'll save this one for Christmas)

RN I take that back. The double10 promo code didn't work. But the $35 for all that is real

Every place I look there are Thanksgiving meals offered.. Whole Foods, Ralphs, Sprouts, Sam's, probably Costco.
I don't need a meal for 10, though. And I am not cooking.

The best used to be when, besides the whole meal,Marie Callenders would let you order a cooked turkey breast and sides you could choose, and pies and whipped cream.. So you could get exactly what you wanted.
Safeway? I had to check. None in Orange County, one in East Los Angeles.. Nope

We are going out to Black Bear diner for Thanksgiving. The drive between homes is hours long. We will go early, tip amazingly well and no one has to cook.

Albertsons is Ralph's now.
I am going to dinner at a friend in the mobilehome park where I stayed for a year when I was out of my home. I just found out today I am invited.
Last year after that I picked up dinners and took to Lorna but took most of that home. Will do something with her unless she gets invited somewhere.
The host where I am going doesn't have a ramp so Lorna couldn't get in. She was lucky when she broke her hip that she already had a ramp from when her mother lived with her, long ago.
I think a good rule in a mobilehome park for seniors would be for all homes to include ramps. That would allow for people visiting each other and would make deliveries easier, too. The visiting thing would add to quality of life. Just a thought.

RN, I bought the cheap dinner and am donating it to a local agency that helps those in need.

I have to say she has done a great job of raising them. I watched the documentary and they all seem very stable.

RN I ended up down a rabbit hole and listened to a brand new 2 hour long interview with Jon Gosselin, and found out his son Collin wrote a book that just came out this month and is already a best seller! So I got the audiobook and I am going to start listening tonight. Collin is the one Kate sent to an institution and she wouldn't tell Jon where he was. Kate stole a lot of Collin's money.

RN, just an FYI, Collin is on this season's Special Forces on Fox. I am not impressed.

RN I'll have to have a look. I saw some photos of him now and he seemed to grow up more handsome than I thought he would.

RN I can't believe what just happened! The grocery stores just got eggnog in and I was making one of my eggnog milkshakes. There was a little Jack Russell Terrier around my feet while I was doing it. I went to pour it from the blender into my travel mug and instead of it pouring, the whole thing flew out in one big chunk and only half landed in my cup and the other half landed on the Jack Russell's head!

I bet the other dogs are cleaning up the mess and the jack Russell terrier for you.
