For the sake of conversation….just wanted yaw to know I saw my first real “mole”. Yuk! (Especially when they are dead). Those varmints have taken over our yard. Little tunnels ALL over! You walk in the yard, and sink in little tunnels. The really creepy part is that those critters don’t have any eyes! At least I didn’t see any. I guess a cat caught him (or her-I didn’t check genitals), but he was just outside my door and I almost stepped on it. Course he would have never seen me coming…dead or alive! LOL! Someone told me to buy Juicy Fruit gum, leave each stick in the foil, and stick ‘em in the tunnels every 5-6’. Supposedly, that kills them. Every time I buy the gum, the kids find it before I stick it in the yard, so I never really got to try it. I think they killed my hostas plants, and for that I would certainly juicy fruit them!! Those things are ALMOST as creepy as the slugs that somehow can slide right under the door!
Now, WHO wants to stay with me for the reunion? LOL!

Sandi make sure to ask then if they want a coke with that gum!
Are you kidding? Coke is getting as expensive as gas!
....by the way, Jack is pretty sick. I think I am going to take him back to the doctor Monday. I'm kind of worried about this one. So all my "kin" folk need to add him to your prayer list. If you don't have a prayer list...start one!
Love, Sandi
p.s. all this time I thought the saying was: "Holy Moly"...Now I realize it's "HOLE-E MOLE-E" .
PLUS that critter is STILL outside my door! I'm pretty sure I'll get sick if I try to move it. I was hoping the cats would have carried it off by now.
Actually, I don't know about the Juicy Fruit gum trick and moles. However, here is a proven method that I learned from HOME DEPOT to get rid of moles. It takes a little effort but the results are well worth it.
RIDDING YOUR PROPERTY OF MOLES
1. Determine how many tunnels you have in your yard. Be certain to look very carefully for less obvious ones.
2. Try to mark the beginning and end of each tunnel. This can be done with little flags, soda straws, stakes, or spray paint. This will help determine just how many tunnels are to be dealt with.
3. It is helpful to make a drawing of your property with the suspected tunnels.
4. Before taking any invasive steps be sure to mow the grass. However, do not water the grass at this time.
5. Make up two to four quarts of strawberry kool-aid. Be sure it is sugar free and do not add any sugar. Set this aside, preferably in a refridgertor to keep it chilled.
6. Take two cans of SPAM and put into a blender. Turn on the blender at a speed to puree.
7. Add one grade A extra large egg. Also add the eggshell. Blend with the previous mixture.
8. Add 2 tablespoons of peanut butter. Smooth or chunky is acceptable.
9. Add 6 tablespoons of molasses.
10. Blend this mixture together.
11. Retrieve the koolaid and put into a large metal pot. Slowly bring to a boil.
12. Add the mixture from the blender to the sugar free koolaid, on the stove.
13. Again, bring to a boil and then simmer for 30 minutes.
14. Take a large/long funnel along with the combined mixture to the yard where the tunnels are.
15. Using the funnel, pour in one cup at the beginning of the tunnel and then at the end of the tunnel.
16. Be sure to do both ends before moving to the next tunnel.
17. Once you've placed a cup of the mixture at the ends of all of the tunnels, go to step 18.
18. Using either a home stereo system or boom box, play Merle Haggard for one hour and then play Willy Nelson for the next hour. Alternate between these two artists for a full eight hours.
19. As the moles come two steppin out of the tunnels, bang them on the head with an iron skillet.
20. Your rodent problem should be solved.
Actually, I can't believe you read this thing all the way to the end. You should be in school or studying, or something a bit more productive!!!!!!!!
Oh yeah, you can water the yard now.
Love ya!
Sarah
Butthead!! As I was reading I kept thinking, why would Home Depot give you all this information if there is nothing they can sell you along with it??? Then, (and I shouldn't even say this in front of Jimmie) I thought, well, if it works, it's worth a try. ....so much for that! Guess I just trust people too much. Now, does that make you feel guilty? I hope so!
Love Sandi
get a cat to run those mole-asses out of your yard.Sarah-you have too much time on your hands--Jimmy,well said.
Get a cat? Are you kidding? This town is over-run by cats! Evidently they have made friends with the mole critters.
Jimmie: you know Mom doesn't allow us to call anyone "stupid". Did you fergit your raisin'? STUPID??? LOL! And I'll tell ya something else--I'm saving all the BEST stories on you to tell in person! Oh yeah...it's gonna be sweet!
I have to remember to bring lots of blank tapes for the ole VHS recorder..... and a tripod... maybe I had better look for an external microphone as well... and lights of course.... and a directors chair...and one of them big ole megaphones to yell "ACTION" or "CUT" if too much pecker peekin goes on... and a a a a ummm a sun glasses and a beret.... a purple beret & I could start smokin big ol stogies.... and a couple of scantily clad starlets on each side of the chair.... and a big ole motorhome for breaks....
and
nevermind, this is too much work.
I'll just look at the pics that all yaw take... I assume that we will put together an album....
everybody add a couple words of wisdom for posterity ... yupp, that's right, yaw got to stand up straight in the pictures
