Mouse in car

My daughter noticed her back seat was torn a bit and there are mouse droppings. Anything we can do besides glue traps to get this fricker out?

Black Friday sales. I worked at Walmart while I was in college and had to work for Black Friday. The year I worked, the big item everyone wanted was the $10 DVD players so we had two folding tables up front stacked high with them.

There was one left on the first table and two older women grabbed the last one and was fighting over it. One lady socked the other one in the face and she went tumbling into the other table filled with the same DVD player, knocking it over.

Another popular item were the trampolines. They were in sporting goods and they only had one left so this woman paid for it but was waiting for a carry out. I went to get a L cart in the back and right before I get back, this other woman comes and grabs the cart and her and her husband load it on there. The woman who bought it went over to them and told them she paid for it and the husband legit pushed her and said "What are you gonna do about it, bitch!" I told the sporting goods employee to call security and the husband said "Run, honey!"

They made it out the store with the trampoline and never paid for it.

Thankfully I only worked there a year so I never had to do that again.

I had the Giants-Broncos electric football game back in 1987 and once the excitement wore off after opening it and adding numbers to my players, I realized the game just sucked arse. That buzzing sound was LOUD as hell and my men seemed to just spin in a circle like ballerinas

She's not as famous as some of these women in the thread but I've met Ali Landry a few times and she's the hottest 52 year old woman I've ever laid eyes on.

Lol. The issue with Notre Dame is that they have a scrappy team but they cannot compete with speed.

They didn't move the ball too well against LCA. Let me guess, it was an off night or so and so was hurt?

Let's look at head to head and common opponents between Notre Dame and the team that Dunham just beat at their own place.

LCA demolished ND at their place 41-7.

Against LRCA

ND 38-19(1st)
ND 27-19(playoffs)
LCA 48-7

Against Welsh

ND 34-20
LCA 52-14

Against Catholic NI

ND 35-34
LCA 49-14

Notre Dame had no shot at beating LCA. What makes you think they had a chance against Dunham?

Should also have had no shot against Calvary.

ND-Calvary was a more favorable match up. Dunham and LCA have too much speed. I do not think it's going to be a close game next week.

Notre Dame loses to Calvary Baptist in OT. 34-28. Dunham-Calvary Baptist is a much better match up in the dome. Notre Dame had no shot against Dunham.

25 years sober this year. I actually quit drinking a few months after I turned 21. Pretty miserable for the first month or so but once I got passed that, no issues. I have zero cravings for a drink.

My wife and I combined don't even make six figures. We still live in the same home we bought in 2006, neither of us have driven a brand new vehicle and we buy older unlocked phones. My wife has an Ulta credit card she uses for points but it's paid off every month but other than that, no debt. We know our place and what we're worth.

Mom-22, Dad-23. My mom had all four of her kids before she turned 24.

My paternal grandmother had 10 kids by age 32

re: Denver Broncos...Why the frick did they change their uniforms.

Actually the current Giants uniform is the classic. They switched to the GIANTS logo in 1976 and went back to NY in 2000

I'm not sure how Apple works now but when my wife had an iPhone, it was an act of congress to get pictures off her phone to a PC. Plug in, sync, iTunes, etc. With my android, you would just plug it in and pull the picture off. Easy.
