May 22, 201214 yr I need a husband for a task like this. I ruined my new shoes getting rid of two snakes in front of the house.. I hope they don't come back. Ugh..
May 22, 201214 yr How did you get rid of them? Did you kill them? Or did you put them in a burlap bag and transport them out in the country to gently release them into the wild?
May 22, 201214 yr Yikes I hate snakes... I didn't kill them just sent them away... I hope they don't come back.. Jesse is very brave...
May 22, 201214 yr Only one way to make sure they don't come back -- give 'em the Marie Antoinette treatment. I dispatched one the other day. Next time call me and I will trot over and do the dirty work. Technical note: one strike with the sharp edge of a shovel is more decisive than using a garden hoe, which usually takes an unseemly number of small chops to disabuse the critter's head of its affection for the body. Especially important when the nuisance is a big copperhead, whose flailings if the first blow is inadequate can be somewhat dangerous. (Rather like a divorce proceeding, come to think!) Of course moccasins are to be dealt with only at a distance, with firearms.
May 22, 201214 yr I like snakes! We pulled up the burlap in the community garden and found two very cute grass snakes. Of course, I don't like spiders, so I do have some sympathy. These kind of fears really aren't rational (well, at least unless you live in a place with some serious poisonous ones.). If I were there, i would have chased 'em off for you!
May 22, 201214 yr Wow I love your writing..so poetic(?).. " Disabuse ..it's affection for the body..." I just had an orgasm...
