Thanks guys! I'm relieved to hear that BME grows faster than I thought and a bit dismayed that Mighty grows so slow. These two little guys were expensive and are so tiny. We are planning on moving from UT to Florida in two years and if these guys grow that slow I might just take them with me as I've really been wanting these two for a long time and I would hate to start from scratch. I plan on leaving them in the ground even though we do not have any squirrels in our yard. Only problem we have are racoons and they don't seem to bother our plants (just our ducks). Is there a particular reason why you would need to pot them up? I don't mind having it in the ground due to it's size as I can just plant some annuals around it. They are both planted in front of my hydrangeas and they tend to steal the show anyways.

Thanks for all the replies, I really appreciate that. So do I understand that apart from checking out the 'Wake on LAN' feature that is the way it is? If so I have no problem, it was just that at times when I am not at my computer and he calls 6 to 7 times then gives up I feel he may lose interest. That was when I would like to call him back so he does not get despondent. As he almost always calls between 10.10 and 10.20 every morning my time I had better start rising a little earlier to get a few chores done so I can be here regularly, ha ha. At least I have found and had him bookmark a couple of interesting live webcams including one on a Bald Eagle's nest where the chicks hatched a couple of days ago so perhaps he will go online more to check out the birds. Then I might be able to 'find' him and make contact. Hopefully those kind of sites might stick in his mind better so he can become more comfortable with and understand the simpler concepts of computing. Once we get there then the sky is the limit. Thanks again for the help.

If you are that freaked out by mice and can afford it, hire an exterminator. If you can't afford it, set some humane traps. NOT A STICKY TRAP. The sticky traps are horrible. They severely torture the trapped mice, and also torture the human that put them out, via guilt. No matter how much you hate mice, if you have never seen a mouse or other creature on a sticky trap, believe me, you don't want to. They are stuck to the glue, and are absolutely frantic, trying to escape. They end up tearing their own skin off and breaking bones in the process, adding to the agony. They finally give up out of exhaustion, dehydration, and injury, and death comes slowly and painfully. I hate rodents, and certainly would FREAK if they were inside my house, but I would never subject any creature to a death like that. By humane traps, I mean one of two options: A snap trap that will kill them quickly, or a trap that will allow them to crawl inside but not be able to escape. Then you have to take them somewhere and release them. Probably not high on your list ;) An exterminator will do this for you. But again, there is a cost associated. The advice given about finding the spots where they are entering is very good. Mice can get inside via a hole as little as 1/2" wide. Here is a link that might be useful: Google: glue trap death
