wx4life Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 Speaking of this heat...sure have heard about alot of snakes the last 2 days....and I am TERRIFIED of them...anyone know of a good way to repel them?? Father in law had one in his pool yesterday and another of a different type today....and NO I have not seen any of them....family knows better than to show me the pics....I will have nightmares...I am serious....If I had been in the pool yesterday when it swam over my sis-in-law's leg.....I would have been added to the list of Jesus and Peter in the walkiing on water club....that would have been followed by a one way trip to Stirffler-Hamby Mortuary. After finding a cottonmouth snake in my backyard last week (we have a creek behind our house).My husband ended up putting mothballs around the house outside and under our building.I heard it keeps them away,but not sure.Also,I have heard in the past when you clean your hairbrushes,put the hair outside around your house.Not sure if that works either,but I do it and they are both cheap and easy things to try.Good Luck!!

Rankin5150 Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 an outdoor cat might help. Most likely though you'll still see them, as "gifts" on your doorstep. I don't mind them, but almost picked up a copperhead a couple weeks ago by mistake (looked like a limb). The big spiders coming in now and every Summer is what I never can get used to. I have lots of mulch beds and they love those, and even though I've caulked and weatherstripped everywhere, they still come in somehow. A large one was under the cover a few nights ago when I was about to go to bed. Huge wolf spider. I can deal with the snakes any day. I cannot stand the spiders. I will pick up a granddaddy long legs spider, but nothing else. I will kill them and swat them away, but I will admit my phobia to them. LOL.

He has been to treatment four times (fifth tomorrow) and it keeps eating away at his muscle tissue. Pretty dang awful man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmersonGA Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 I finished May with 1.2" of rain. My father in law just got bitten by a brown recluse on the end of one of his toes. Apparently it was in his shoes that he left outside. It looks pretty bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He caught it early and went to the doctor. They shot him up with some stuff and gave him antibiotics. He's about to be sailing the gulf for a month so he needs it better very quickly. It does look pretty bad though. It looks like someone hit his toe with a hammer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tullioz Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 My coworker was bit on the forearm by a brown recluse spider. He has been to treatment four times (fifth tomorrow) and it keeps eating away at his muscle tissue. Pretty dang awful man. I know this is straying from the topic of weather, but chances are your co-worker was not bitten by a Brown Recluse unless it occurred outside of the state. Theses spiders are only found in the South Central states and only a very tiny portion of NC in the far South Western tip. Doctors are to blame for the wrong diagnosis and the spread of fear of these spiders. They seem to want to lump all spider bites that eat away at the tissue together and blame it on the Brown Recluse when the fact is that there are plenty of other spiders that cause tissue damage. I have even have had a family member in Vermont claim that they were once bitten by a Brown Recluse which is really hard to believe since they are certainly not native to that part of the country. Of course this is what the doctor told her so she believed him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LithiaWx Posted June 1, 2011 Author Share Posted June 1, 2011 I think snowstorm2011 is probably a young kid who thinks he is grown up. Weatherkid is young listed at 14 but he seems grownup and actually contributes good posts to this board. He proves you can be young and still act adult. Snowstorm is just young, dumb, disrespectful and universally disliked. Amazing when you look at two people similar in age yet one is an asset the other is a toxic liability to the board. Has anyone been this universally disliked in the SE forums before? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel I'm mature enough to give my age without the fear of being made fun of. I try to contribute good stuff to the SE forum without being annoying.
