        United had its pros and cons, but they've been on a bit of an upswing. They actually seem to be *trying* at least. - ty97 May 23, 07:25
      - this. -- nm - Diva May 23, 07:21

Paramount released the MI:DR trailer -- (link) - budice May 23, 06:15 25
- This is semantics but is this really a "teaser" trailer? This is a trailer. A teaser to me is just the title and the date with super limited visuals - Volnelk May 23, 07:39 1

      - that's different! It's not DUNE: 'subtitle': Part One -- nm - mud May 23, 06:41 6
        
        This is not Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning: "subtitle": Part One either. (NM) - Marlowe May 23, 06:49 5
        
        Dead Reckoning is the subtitle. -- nm - mud May 23, 07:09 4
        
        Only if you think it is! (NM) - Marlowe May 23, 07:21 3

Apparently there is an unwanted mouse in my house. I can't figure out where/how it may have gotten in. - sycor May 23, 05:05 10
- I've found the glue traps to work best. Just put them where you see the droppings and put a drop of peanut butter in the middle. -- nm - oblique May 23, 05:57 7
  - I was using the puck shaped "no see" traps. They crawl in but not back out. I'll try some glue traps too. - sycor May 23, 06:19 6
    - We use spring traps. Instant death. -- nm - zunk xometimes May 23, 06:36 2
      - Tried one of those a few years ago. Apparently only got the foot. - sycor May 23, 06:39 1
        
        I had one catch the tail. I found it dragging the trap…I bagged it and took it to a field and released. - Will Hunting May 23, 06:48
    - Yeah, I could never get those to work as well. The glue traps are gross if you're uncomfortable with seeing the victim -- nm - oblique May 23, 06:23 2
      - I only mind if they are still alive and moving. - sycor May 23, 06:24 1
