Mice hate peppermint and also ammonia will deter them (smells to them like cat pee)

I remember when I liked in Michigan. I must haver been 9 or 10. We got a mouse in, and set a trap. We caught it pretty quick. My mom couldn't take it out, so guess who had to do it. lol Never saw another though. We set further traps, but never had them go offf, or had the bait disappear.

Dayumm. Yo, Memphis, get me the line on Rocchio getting HBP next time we face KC. Monday, May 4 in KC. 🫵

Iran's military leaders have control over Iran's government.

Iran has a military dictatorship..!

What a day Angel Martinez is having. 4 for 5, 2 singles, 2B, HR (grand slam), 4 rbi’s, SB in a 10-2 blowout.

According to Iran's Constitution, the Supreme Leader is responsible for the delineation and supervision of "the general policies of the Islamic Republic of Iran," which means that he sets the tone and direction of Iran's domestic and foreign policies. The Supreme Leader also is commander-in-chief of the armed forces and controls the Islamic Republic's intelligence and security operations; he alone can declare war or peace. He has the power to appoint and dismiss the leaders of the judiciary, the state radio and television networks, and the supreme commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. He also appoints six of the twelve members of the Council of Guardians, the powerful body that oversees the activities of Parliament and determines which candidates are qualified to run for public office.

The Supreme Leader's sphere of power is extended through his representatives, an estimated 2,000 of whom are sprinkled throughout all sectors of the government and who serve as the Leader's clerical field operatives. In some respects the Supreme Leader's representatives are more powerful than the president's ministers and have the authority to intervene in any matter of state on the Supreme Leader's behalf.

You bring up a lot of maybe's and could be's but there's nothing to indicate that's correct. All sources are indicating that these terms are being negotiated by the actual powers of Iran. Not some 4th string diplomat.

The problem as I see it, or at least wonder is do the leaders in Iran have control over the military? My feeling is there at least some elements of the Iranian military who are rogue from whoever says they are leading Iran. The military might have the power over some 4th string diplomat.

Yep, my mom has had a couple of those over the years. Just checked it out, edges not serrated. Great for carrots, apples, almost anything.

I just had problems logging on...finally shut down the putter went threw the entire log on process again..it worked..!

The so called cease fire didn't last long...I guess the American people shouldn't expect much from our leaders or the Iranians.

Unfortunately, I think JOK's playing days are over.

Welcome to the board, btw.

Israeli attacks hit Beirut's 'densely populated residential' areas, Lebanese PM says

Lebanon's Prime Minister Nawaf Salam welcomed news of a ceasefire in Iran, but pushed for a similar agreement in Lebanon, saying in a post on X that Israel's strikes there continue to show "utter disregard for the principles of international law and international humanitarian law, which it has never respected in the first place."

Salam said the Israeli attacks undermine international efforts to stop the war.

"Israel continues to expand its aggressions that have targeted densely populated residential neighborhoods, claiming the lives of unarmed civilians in various parts of Lebanon, particularly in the capital Beirut," he said. "All friends of Lebanon are called upon to help us stop these aggressions by all available means."

I would love to see JOK and Schwesinger play together

👊 🤘

This is just the plan that Iran submitted. I doubt we have responded to it, and so far I haven't seen a similar list come from the US side. I do kinda wonder what that list is going to look like, given the dubious reasons under which this whole thing was kicked off.

Thanks for that.

Well you can debate a whole bunch of different issues regarding this war, the goals, whether we succeeded ... on this statement, I think it's almost impossible to find a counter point.

* To Add - anyone that thinks any ceasefire will immediately open up the straits to large volumes of shipping is mistaken. Insurance companies and shippers will be slow to trust the situation - made worse with Israel's actions.
