Oy Vey - Another Raccoon Day

Trap empty. Took the food, moved the trap. Empty.

2am - crazy amounts of activities. I found a flashlight and saw raccoon footprints all over the patio. They are all up in the walls. And on the roof.

This is going to call for the experts. I need some sleep.

Ok. Off to get my labs done.

Maybe you can have them detained under the Patriot Act.

Well I was very hopeful I would come and see
no racoons today.

Now we have to break out a new Yiddish word
because well we still have class.

We need this word due to the racoon situation.
Our Yiddish word today is oysgematert and that
means totally exhausted.

And now for our sentence. Those &*^%$#@@! racoons
are making Deb oysgematert.

The Teacher
Shoshie

good luck with the vampires today.

I think D is right. We all know they are thieves, they may be spies as well.

Deb doll, I'm sorry to hear the trap didn't do the trick. I wish I could send you some energy, too. Thinking of you...

I think we should call Law and Order SVU, and
have them take care of the situation.

Call Shoshie she will scare them away. She
talks with her hands and that would scare
anyone!

I hope your day gets better.

They say God never sends you more than you can handle.

So these raccoons must be from the devil.

This sucks, I hope they move out soon. What the heck are they eating that they like it there so much? Do you have garbage cans outside or something?

Get a fox to get the raccoon...then get an English man to hunt for the fox then a French man to hunt for the English man etc.

I tried to get the laundry done - but kid stuffs got in the way. I'll work on it tonight. Wish I could pitch in and help you do yours.
Hope all the counting goes well today - I know what a killer it can be. And good luck with the coons - crazy things....

We've got squirrels in our attic (ok, ok, it's "roof rats" but until Mr. Exterminator gets here I prefer to think of them as squirrels)and they dance over our bedroom at night. Very annnoying.

I have no idea where they got that "Best of Disco" CD.

Animals are way smarter than we think they are. I could tell you stories about bait-gone sprung traps. Not raccoons, though. Skunks. Skunks aren't noisy, but when they take over a small suburban backyard, it's theirs from dusk to dawn. I hope you get rid of your raccoons as soon as possible and with a minimum of fuss.

Gaaaah! Empty? It makes me oysgematert just thinking about your last couple of days! Good luck with the good riddance, followed by good rest.

OH NO!!!! I had some RATS in my old house. EGADS. Hope they leave you soon!!

Where is the chaya update. See I worked the
Yiddish word of the day right in the first
sentence. Chaya means wild animal. I don't know
the Yiddish word for racoon. I hope that since
we don't have a chaya post the big fat *^@!#@
have left.

Did you get a hillbilly box from some fools?

If you have a piano anywhere near you I think
my daughter wants to visit. I really think
she is TONE DEAF. I am not sure how much longer
we can tell her how good she is when it is so
BAD. Bless her heart. I used that saying since
"you" Texans love to bless everyone's heart.

Love,
Shoshie

Racoon Limrick:
There once was a racoon named LaPeep
Who would not let my sister sleep.
So I took out my gun
And he went on the run.
That's how we got rid of the creep.

Latka Haiku:
My dog needs a bath.
His stink wilts lily flowers.
He likes his own funk.

TMI poem:
Roses are red,
Daisies are white.
My back really hurts
My bra is too tight.

Does anybody really read this?

XOXO,
