Sonny & Cher: An Update

Not last month but the month before, I shared the story of our friends Sonny & Cher and the herd of mice they adopted for the winter.

Wendy and I attended a party Saturday night where we had the pleasure of mixing and mingling with them. A conversation with Sonny revealed they are now housing and feeding nine captured mice.

His plan for disposal come springtime seems a bit vague. No need to worry. Sonny's a resourceful fellow.

In related news, this site recently got a hit from someone googling "get rid of baby mice."

Can I ask a rude question? Why do you identify yourself by your sexual preference? Isn't there something else interesting about you or is being gay it?

I don't mean that negatively... but I see this type of thing a lot. Just wondering.

Yeah, right "pa," you don't mean that negatively. Whatever.

I thought your post was really funny, Suzanne. I laughed!

Hey PA - at www.lightforceministries.com,
Why do you identify yourself by your faith?
I don't mean to be rude...but isn't there something else interesting about you?

pa, why would you choose to ask a stranger a question you feel is rude? With a little thought, you could have worded it differently to be polite and less negative. You could have asked "Suzanne, it appears to me your sexuality contributes greatly to how you view yourself in the world. I've seen that type of thing a lot. Can you offer any insight to help me understand why?"

If you had asked it that way, I may have replied this way:

Reading the content of my blog rather than focusing on one word in the title will eliminate the need to ask your question.

You will see I don't identify myself exclusively, or even primarily, by my sexuality. It is but a piece of who I am, along with suburbanite and mother and writer and friend and bibliophile and homeowner and partner and American and cook and sister and accountant and woman and pet enthusiast and daughter, among other things.

Is any of it interesting? Eh, who knows? However I do know taking one part and declaring it the sum of the whole is never a good idea.

Did you see Wife Swap last night? It was the religious/conversatives versus the atheist/liberals. It was a riot! I finally found someone who was like me LOL...we not totally but in thought.

Sorry that person made a rude comment to you! Geez.

We've harbored mice until Spring. I've fed and watered them too. Couldn't bear to put them in danger in the cold. They love popcorn seeds BTW!
