So...WARNING: You should NEVER vacuum up mouse poop. Some breeds of mice (e.g. deer mice) have a harmful bacteria in their poo which is fatal to humans. If you inhale it it can cause respiratory failure in a matter of days leading to death. Same as sweeping dried mouse poop, as it turns to dust and becomes airbound. Recommended to dampen it with bleach etc and use a tissue / cloth to pick it up and discard of it and tie the bag up. Then you can do your hoovering. Please look this up as its not well known.

They are indeed fascinating. And I'm not at all squeamish about any kind of poop except the human kind. And that I don't like to mess with.

I hate the fleas, but I hate the poison, too. <br /><br />I've had the orb spiders (or something very similar) in the yard, but never on the porch or in the hose. To me they are fascinating.<br /><br />JuliaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-65986255634455441882014-08-10T17:45:44.825-04:002014-08-10T17:45:44.825-04:00Steve Reed- That's how I always feel.

And yeah, I went to nursing school and I did work at a birth center and I've done other jobs but frankly, being home was what I wanted to do and it was the place for me. I feel so very fortunate that I have been able to do that but I tell you something- I will always wonder if I could have earned my own living and that feels very sad to me.

To me they seem to be building their lives. What can be more important than your home? I waste my life in a fabric cube staring at a screen and planning meetings and celebrations and cube space for people who for the most part aren't even my friends. I mean we are friendly at work, but we don't invite each other over for dinner or anything like that. How can raising children and making nurturing meals and memories with people you love be a waste of a life?Lisa https://www.blogger.com/profile/09324961653370110887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-76113538437749479692014-08-10T17:06:16.584-04:002014-08-10T17:06:16.584-04:00I have seen spots like that but I had no idea it w...I have seen spots like that but I had no idea it was spider poop.
