I'm in Chicago. Why doesn't Second City move to a larger building? Their current space is terribly cramped and I'm sure they have enough prestige to relocate.

Wow. All that is prime material for a demented Lifetime movie.
I've been consumed with intense nostalgia for this item I had as a child. I haven't thought about it in maybe twenty years, but suddenly I'm remembering how much I loved it and have been trying to find something like it online. I'm not having much luck.
It was like a music box, but didn't open or shut. It was a mirror in a plastic frame that stood up by itself. You wound the music up on the back, and I'm pretty sure it played "Fur Elise." As it played, a magnet rotated behind the glass of the mirror, which was etched with flowers or cattails or something. It came with a white bird with a magnet inside it, and you put it on the glass and the rotating magnet would make it dance to the music.
I received it for my eighth birthday and I adored it. I would watch it for an hour at a time. I thought it was the most beautiful thing I've ever seen.
I was a messy kid, and at ten or eleven I had left all the drawers open on my dresser, and it tipped over, shattering my music box thing, which was on top. My hysterical tears did not elicit much sympathy from my mother, who told me I should keep my room cleaner.
This is the closest thing I can find online.
You rascal.Quote:

I still miss this really awesome Legos computer game from the 90s where you could fully explore this island, make cars, use cheat codes to make the Lego people look funny, and even go on missions I think. Miss that game a lot-my original copy's disc broke.
Also Qrazy's response=classic.
I miss Return Fire.
Anyone ever had a professional exterminator for mice? Do they work? Because the mice in my house are unkillable, and they're getting cocky.
Mouse fell into my trap last week and it just about snapped it's head off. Blood spattered all over the kitchen counter. I was happy.
I've been working on this for months, and I have yet to catch a mouse in a snap trap (and I have about fifteen of them set up.) I have not caught any in glue traps, although I have caught a few spiders. The sonic chasers don't work. The poison doesn't work. (They eat it and it turns their poo green... but they live.)Quote:

I don't know if this is common knowledge or not, but have you tried peanut butter with the traps? I remember my dad having success with that when I was younger.
Yeah, that's what I use. The internet said so. My mice don't seem to like peanut butter.Quote:

Freaking mice. Remember when I used to like mice and keep them as pets? NO MORE. I hate them now. I would kill them with my hands if I could catch the buggers.
I'm also hoping when my roommate moves out to get a cat. Might help.
And even if it doesn't, PET CAT!
Snappers have always worked the best for my store. Is it the location you're putting them in maybe? The exterminator company that we're contracted to basically just gives us more styles of traps and hopes for the best... Unless it gets out of hand, then he can bring the real shit. Whatever that may be. I hope to not see it.
We had a mouse problem in our house earlier this year. We used these. A dollop of peanut butter worked like a charm. I think we caught about a half dozen mice in the things. Haven't had a problem since.

I know exactly how to handle Baltimore mice.
