Pet Peeves

[Born of Fire]

I use soft daily disposable contact lenses. I don't know why but it's become more common now to open one of the packets and find the lens inside folded over on itself. No matter how long I leave it in the solution it never regains it's shape properly, it's always left with a hard crease from being folded on itself. This then leads to shit vision because it's not sitting on the eye properly. Feels like one eye is seeing in HD and the other eye is seeing in shitty 360p YouTube quality. Infuriating stuff.

I use the fortnightly ones myself, never had that problem apart from when I haven't used enough solution and they fold when I shake the case. A quick soak sorts them out. Try saline solution instead of all-in-one, see if that helps.

All this talk of mice and traps must be contagious, was woken up this morning by the unmistakable sound of one scuffling about the bedroom. Sure enough a few hours later I can her them moving about between the sitting room ceiling and the floorboards above. Bastards. Put down a couple of traps with a bit of cooked rasher on them, hopefully will have results in the morning.

And if that wasn't fun enough, I just had to get a urine sample from one of the dogs. It's a glamorous life...

I had a fuckin legend of a cat that caught over 100 mice in a month and ate every one. That's 100 that I saw eaten, I imagine the total was stronger again. We used to hunt them together; I would move the furniture and he would pounce when they ran. Sometimes I felt sorry for the mice when he'd eat them alive, thinking about the horror from the mouse perspective but they asked for it by simply existing so fuck em

Checked the traps, the cunts took the bacon from the one in the bedroom without springing the trap. Have a bit of cheese on it now, fingers crossed.

It needs to be something sticky that will keep them at the trap for an extended duration. Chances are they are just taking the bacon/cheese off the trap in one swoop, I can picture them laughing and giving the finger as they run away with the prize, it will be all the more satisfying when you nail them..

Peanut butter is the only job. It's like heroin to the little cunts

I'll get some next time I'm in town, the corner shop woukd rob you.

The bastard woke me again this morning so I used it as an excuse to give it a good clean and tidy. Most of it anyway, the shelving units will be done another day. The filth under and behind units shocked me. So many dust bunnies and tumbleweeds since I did it last. The dogs don't get bear the room but you'd walk the hair in all the same, you don't feel it building up.

Bacon, cheese, peanut butter - the cunts have just taken the bait and not sprung the traps. I've talked my brother out of putting down poison (I don't care about kiling them, but I don't want to tear the house apart looking for the smell). Humane traps are probably the next step.

[The Heretic]

I'm assuming these are the classic wooden mousetrap? If so make sure that when you set it right on the tip of activating, some of the cheaper ones tend to jam themselves and if the mouse is light enough they won't set if off, also smear the peanut butter so that they will have to work at it to eat it. I use 3 traps, 1 each side of the baited trap  also set the traps against a wall as that's how the cunts travel along..

We had mice a couple times in our old place here in Bordeaux. Was a fairly interesting situation to spend all day taking care of and studying mice in the lab, then get home and set about killing their cousins... all the while bemoaning that wild mice are so much smarter than lab-raised ones

Do you have one of those little mouse guillotines in the work place?

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

No, I think they have been or are being phased out. I've never used one myself. It's either carbon dioxide chamber or cervical dislocation. I'm off animal experimentation for the foreseeable though anyway.

[astfgyl]

How does the cervical dislocation work, do you just twist em or is there a little machine? The carbon dioxide sounds a bit better to be fair than the little guillotine. I came across it in a lab equipment catalogue and I was amazed, with the little bags for them and stuff

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

With mice, cervical dislocation is by hand. Providing you've been properly trained and are used to handling mice, they don't even know it's coming before it's over. It's one snap linear movement that separates the spine/spinal cord from the skull/brain, no twisting.
