I agree with you that we should just write what we know, believe in and feel. I wrote a post on the 6th as it happens called ‘Learning To Let Go’. I found myself questioning what people wanted to hear/read from me when really I shouldn’t worry so much about what people think about me. Also I agree with Eva I think you should get a cat 😉 I have two but wont share I’m afraid 😉 Take care xx

In reply to Cynthia. I get so irritated with my husband and BIL because they act like it's just one mouse and I'm always like, mice have a posse.

mice … genius idea for a post! i could talk for days about mice wars:) we always get mice in the early fall, or rather, we always spot one in the kitchen that scurries out of sight before the broom goes flying. as a friend told me the first time we got the, “you know, it’s never just one.” eeeeewwww. fall is lovely in my area, except for the dang mice!

Late Spring we always get the teeny tiny ants. The massive amounts of rain we get pushes them in. I have my house sprayed every couple months all year long but it never fails, they show up & gross the crap outta me. I feel for ya, get a big fat cat who has a healthy appetite. 🙂 (Cats are weird & creepy though so hmmmm maybe mice are a better alternative???)

I loathe mice, hope you get rid of the little buggers. And I think you should blog about what interests you!

Oh, comments! It’s a mystery, isn’t it? I guess you are right and just have to write about whatever entertains you that particular day. (Or maybe it’s all about the barometric pressure—-like my aching joints.) Who knows.

My daughter in Virginia had mice in her house and took steps to eliminate them which resulted in posting a picture of a mouse which expired, having crawled under the kitchen counter somehow, and this tail was hanging out. EEEEEEWWW! I’ll have to find out how she solved that problem.

In reply to Dkrutt. I know the dead mouse is not a nice present, but I hate the live ones in my house. It's the idea of their germs that drives me bonkers.

I totally relate to all your feelings about blogging! And I think you came to the right conclusion. 🙂

I’ve discovered that, too. The meaningful posts, or the ones that are meaningful to me anyway, get little to no traffic, but the nonsense ones get a ton. Maybe that’s why I took a blogging break for awhile. AND if it makes you feel any better, I got home last night and my cat had left a dead mouse on the sofa, right where I sit. Lovely. 🙂 Hope all is well with you!

I’m not sure about the posting thing. I’ve been blogging i think since 2006 and still very few comments. I guess my posts are boring LOL. I don’t blog anymore for the comments. I do it for ME and the few readers I do get 🙂 Some very nice comments here and there. Cats are good for mice AND scorpions. Unfortunately, my husband and kids are allergic 🙁

Ugh, mice!!! There’s probably nothing you can actually do about them right? I am so sorry. I have also found it wacky what posts get read and commented on, and which one almost get ignored 🙁 Write from your heart, that works.

I never have worked out how some of my blogs get loads of attention and others, that I feel are better, get very little. So now I write what I want, when I want and if people like it, that’s great, and if they don’t, that’s ok too. 🙂

I have found that the posts that get the most traffic on my site are political, poopal, related to personal deterioration, or related to doggie sex dolls. Make of that what you will.

I yiyi, I just did the mouse thing. It’s nasty to even think about. We went around and sealed up every tiny crack in the roof line that we could find and set a TON of traps. Ick. I feel your pain.

I agree with Frau– Write for YOU. I all love you.

In reply to Keetha Broyles. We did find some holes and covered them up, but we seem to be missing at least one.

Can you find any of the holes the mice are entering through? If you will buy cheap steel wool and stuff it in the holes, they won’t come in. They don’t like to chew through those tiny strands of steel. It works really well.

Sorry – – – Mice are so icky.

Oh, I can relate about the blog posts that get most attention. One I spent about 3 hours on and thought it would get lots of comments, but didn’t and others, that are just silly or thrown together quickly seem to get more attention.

I agree with Eva, you should get a couple cats to take care of that mice problem.

As for mice – eeewwww. Sorry.

In reply to Jenny. I'm trying to comment on your blog, but am unable to with either my wordpress account or twitter account. I was leaving a comment saying that I use Physician's Formula Organic mascara. It's not waterproof, but it is very easy to remove.

The mice would drive me crazy too. We once lived near a HUGE canyon and had problems with mice and rats. My sister while pregnant dreamed that a tiny demon scurried across her belly. I’m pretty sure it was a mouse. Hang in there. I hope you find a good way to get rid of those critters.

About all of your posts, I have to say, I really enjoyed them. I need to do the same, just write what I care about and not worry about coming up with anything fancy.
