I Identify As A Redneck….

I was trimming small branches off of a Rose of Sharon tree and dropped my hand pruners back between the bottom of the tree and the fence. There was some leaves and vines there so I didn’t want to stick my hand down to retrieve them thinking that a snake could be hiding under that mess. I got my rake and tried to rake the mess out but the space wasn’t wide enough. I needed those pruners so I decided to try a tube sock with a strong magnet inside and dangle it down to the pruners. Went & got the sock and magnet and sure enough it worked quickly. Still need to get that mess out from behind the tree though. Then I got a window screen on the sun room window that I couldn’t fit back into the window. It has some type of side springs on one side that bulge out and I can’t figure out how to flatten them both to get the screen in. Got my roll of Alien Tape and cut two small chunks and attached the screen on one side to the window frame after sliding the other side into the slot…then used Duck tape to seal the tiny gap at the top to keep another Yellow Jacket from getting inside. Gorilla Tape, Duck Tape, Magnet In A Tube Sock, Yep I’m a Redneck. I also keep Krazy Glue and Wire Coat Hangers handy for repairs.

Did you know Downy dryer sheets are a powerful wasp repellent?

@TexChik I don’t buy that brand but we usually don’t have many wasps around the house. I get the Raid if I see Yellow Jackets. Does it work for mosquitoes? I usually grab some peppermint and rub the leaves over my head, face, ears, neck and arms and that helps some.

@cherokeepatti yes works on mosquitoes

@TexChik I used a different brand once and it didn’t work so good.

I read a funny true story about a man who, at the zoo, applied some superglue to his hands and then affixed his hands to the flanks of a rhino. The rhino took him for quite a ride!

@ProfessorPlum77 I bet he was bruised up really good.

@cherokeepatti You can still read about it, online. He won a Darwin Award, even though he survived.

Type in "superglue Rhino Zoo." That should bring you to the article.

I've got a lot of the same stuff...gorilla glue, krazy glue, major huge roll of duct tape, florists wire, (for hanging things and keeping my lamp from falling apart, and just bought my second batch of Alien Tape. I always keep a wire coat hanger on hand in case I need to break into my own car, and I also use lots of twist ties...Tube socks I use for clean bandages on my wrist in case I need to wear the plastic brace. Never once occurred to me to put a magnet inside it...🤣🤣🤣 I guess I must be a redneck, too...🤣🤣🤣

@4meAndyou I buy a big roll of twisty wire and use it for a lot of things around the house and the yard.

I just weeded some of that Rose of Sharon OMG it was the worst. it’s like trying to pull gum out of matted hair!
DoubleRings · 51-55, F
@cherokeepatti I seriously don’t know why anyone would want it on their property. I’m living at someone’s house and that’s the only reason I help out with it.
cherokeepatti · 61-69, F
@DoubleRings I didn’t plant them here, they were already here and smaller 20 years ago than now. They will bloom most of the summer, I guess that’s why people like them.
DoubleRings · 51-55, F
@cherokeepatti I’d set fire to it all if it were my house. The people who live here normally are elderly. they must pay people to do it for them when it’s not us living here.

You are very resourceful.

@Carissimi When snakes get scared they can throw out a musk smell that to me smells like a dead rat. The bigger the snake the stronger it smells. When you are close enough to a snake to scare it that’s too close. Maybe even striking distance
cherokeepatti · 61-69, F
@Carissimi Had a friend that worked with who told me one day that she went into her bedroom one day and smelled a dead rat smell. She lived out in the country and got her husband and told her that’s what they say copperhead snakes smell like. They got the flashlight and looked around and sure enough there was a copperhead snake underneath their bed. They got a hoe and a broom and got it out and chopped it’s head off. I’d have had to change my underwear if I was in that situation. I don’t think I could do it without passing out. Plus be paranoid about the rest of the house maybe having a snake in it too. Would tear everything up searching for more or where it came in from.

@Carissimi this is a good place for a snake to hide

Same here, I have to get some of that Alien Tape.
