I caught the 2 big rats last week, then a small, mouse-sized one the day before yesterday, but no others. I know they can't all be gone, but I've seen no more signs of them being around either. I have even been leaving food in the covered runs overnight, and have not been getting any rat tirds in them.

DD dumped the small rat out of the rat zapper, and before she could get the shovel to fling it over the fence and into the woods, the 2 orp roos grabbed it and played tug-o-war. Man can they shred a rat in a few seconds! They ate all the meaty bits, leaving nothing but a tail with a hollowed out, ripped up hide!

The roos caught a shrew the other day and did the same.

Oh its the keyboard for my laptop. My desk is to low and small to have a plugged in keyboard... Just gotta make sure I hit the key hard enough. lol but I type so fast that I never do hit the buttons hard enough. lol

Canned air? Vacuum cleaner? I have a rubber-tipped dental tool that I use to clean mine, but then I also have a wireless keyboard because my desk is too small- or rather too badly designed- to tolerate another cord. Computer input devices are all designed as if they'll be used in a clean room by robots, so normal stuff like lint off sweaters and pet hair gets in and can't get out.

This is because the people who design them get them free and replace them constantly, the same way that people who design word processing programs never use them to write a long and involved piece of fiction that is not made better by constantly having to figure out where word-count and spell-check are hiding.

I think the main problem is that my daughter lies to play with my computer. lol Its a pain and constant battle, and she does things on my computer that I have NO idea how she does it. lol I have the compressed air for the computers, I do use it. But maby not frequently enough.

maby instead of twice a month maby I should do it every week?

My DH went to Barber school, so he cuts my hair for me. lol But I only ever get a trim every 6 months or so... lol Usually longer than that. lol

I cut my own hair - both of them. Twice a week, even if they don't need it.

I dont have the luxury of being bald. lol Ive got lots of hair to eep up and out of the way. lol Thought about shaving it off once, but then realised how goofy I would look without hair. Now my brothers girl friend looks good with a bald head.

Some people put their keyboards in the top rack of the dishwasher and swear by it- others say it's possible to warp/rust something in it. It's prob worth trying it out to see if it can be fixed vs spending $20 on a new keyboard.

Probably weekly would help, yes, but if there's a particle of preschooler-borne crud (and we love them, but they shed chaos) under your X and K keys it may need something more persuasive than air.

Thinking back to when my daughter was a tad, dried applesauce is a possibility.
