Dear Diary

[dalthauser]

My daughter is snake-sitting her friends' Boa Constrictor.  Yesterday she stopped at the pet store and bought a live mouse to feed it.  Apparently the pet stores have "feeder mice".  I was traumatized by the whole idea of it.  Not because a Boa eats live food - that's natural.  What bothered me is keeping a Boa as a pet and feeding it live food.  Naturally this is quite hypocritical I know since my cat eats meat based food - and animals have to die to make that happen.  Still.

Why does my Office spellchecker tag the spelling of "didn't" .....

Last night I went to bed early 9pm, so I could get up super early and get started in the garden and raking leaves - as well as a host of other projects I didn't do Saturday (because I opted to go after Xmas shopping instead).  I did wake up extra early - to the crack of thunder and a torrential downpour of frozen ice.  I bolted out of bed and out to the truck to roll the window up.  Okay, I was fully awake and figuring it' will be a housework kinda day.

My washer is squeaking, I wonder what that means (I'm pretty sure Sierra didn't leave any mice in her pockets)

Weird, my Firefox spell checker sometimes won't recognize didn't as well. It does now though.

My brother and his wife raise snakes, and they feed them frozen baby mice. Dead.
