get a glass and a piece of paper and keep it near by. then you can put the glass surrounding it when it comes out, slide the paper under the glass and take it outside....

If you put the paper down first THEN put the glass over it, if you accidentally use the wrong side of the glass, you have a piece of paper with macabre dead-spider art on it5 -
It's fall and getting colder here. And, like every year... A few pesky mice get in the house.
I have this awesome cat who catches them almost as soon as they get in... But it usually involves him tearing around the house, then dropping the live one in the room, while me and my two kids scream and scatter, then I try to find a container to trap it and then run outside and throw him as far away as I can.
Sometimes the mouse sneaks away - under a couch, or into a corner. Last time there was an empty pop can on the floor (no judging) and after the cat kicked the stunned mouse off the stairs at my daughter and she screamed, the mouse ran into the kitchen, and then tried to climb over the pop can and ended up rolling on it like a bear on a ball! Hahaha, then he escaped.
So I set a trap. And I guess the mouse triggered the trap in the basement, but got flipped off into the floor where my cat caught it... Then he ran upstairs, past me into the kitchen, where I SAW the mouse.
He raced upstairs past my kids and their screaming and then jumped ONTO MY BED AND DROPPED THE MOUSE ON MY DUVET TO PLAY WITH IT!
I snagged it in a container, threw it outside, but now I'm afraid that I'm going to roll over and squeak.
Gaaaaah!4 -

Had a cat once who killed a mouse and put it on my bare chest when I was sleeping. Little *kitten*.5 -

My roommate in college had a cat named Pi. Pi was a fat, calico colored planet of a cat, but one morning, my roommate woke to a desiccated hamster carcass on her pillow.
Unsurprisingly, our upstairs neighbor reported a day or so later that one of her hamsters had escaped and had gone "missing" in our building.

Better than a wasp, I say. Even a half dead wasp because I swear they instantly magically reincarnate into super-Wasp. And they're angry.0 -

You do know that when you throw a live mouse outside, he will find his way back in, along with his family(because *that* house was so much fun). You have to either 1)take it far far away or 2) leave it on someone's doorstep that you don't like, smearing peanut butter on their door.
I remember being a dumb little kid and us kids were animal crazy. My older sisters were always going for rides and bringing home stray cats, or going to our local store at Easter time and buying ducks; we had (almost)every kind of pet imaginable. Anyways, I had a habit of being the first one up every a.m. and 1 time found a mouse in the trap, stuck but very much still alive. So I made a nice comfy soft cardboard box home for it, welcomed it, gave it cheese, and later couldn't figure out where it'd gone. Showed it to my mom and she kinda freaked when she saw the hole.
I also remember trying to catch a bat to keep, using fishing nets; we had a shed they used to fly in and out of. That didn't work so well.4 -

I was stopped by this bus and a big line of cars and a bunch of police this morning on the way home from the gym. I never even knew Hoop Bus was a thing. My son told me about it.

Intuitively I know this to be true... But I cannot kill it myself and I figure if it's dumb enough to come back inside to be mauled by the cat, then hopefully the trap will get them.
I just can't kill them myself, and it's getting too cold to go too far down the street. Lol
As it is, I feel sad when I see their cute little bodies in the traps. It hurts my heart.2 -

Looks really similar to where I lived in CA (SoCal, near the Mojave). A few large scale fires took place while I lived there that would burn entire swaths of mountainous land. People were driven from their homes and it would take weeks to stop the burning. The wind makes it harder to control. I imagine in CO, it's similar.

@Diatonic12 i didn’t mention but each year before I moved away I went to Pigeon Forge and stayed at the Riverstone Resort. A really clutch place. I like showers so I always got the huge showers versus the spa tub.
There is a place called the Local Goat that is really good. I got fried green tomatoes but don’t remember what else.
It’s my favorite restaurant on the strip for not BBQ.2 -
