RETIRED Marlboro Outwit the West Funny Farm

Hi all,

I started this thread for anyone who wants to come here for lite discussion, jokes, and just general discussion and fun.

Everyone is welcome!

I was thinking that maybe it would be helpful to keep the original thread to a bit more of a serious discussion of the clues and answers.

This would make the original thread more useful to those seeking serious information and clues without having to read through hundreds of extraneous messages.

So, I hope it catches on !

So pop a beer and pull up a chair and relax !

My dad uses peppermint oil (not extract) to keep ants away-it's a little expensive, but their house always smells like peppermint. The urine will be outside so I don't care what it smells like as long as it works. Those waskaly wabbits are getting on my nerves. I've not had green beans in the garden for 2 years now and I don't have the heart to kill them.
hug Good luck!

thanks - if we go to our own facebook pages and see who posted that they entered on Panasonic, and enter on our posts of it, we will each get an extra entry. Did we know that? I have been trying to do it that way.
If you enter from someone's post they will get a extra entry. If you share the link and someone enter's from your post you will get a extra entry,but you will not know that you got the extra. And I believe any of that is only good for the hour of the enrty time for that specific day.

I agree. I believe each person only gets one entry themselves and an extra if someone enters from their link. Smilie

Oh don't worry about it. almost over anyways. I hope you do well at the clinic. Take care of yourself. What time is the sleep clinic? Maybe you will be back in time? I probably will not be able to enter either.

I wonder why they are not so generous lately and it is really hard to win on the iw's also. Have been thinking maybe too many people are entering? And when they run a long time even tho they say 1,000 prizes, being spread out for a longer time lessens the chances. I won candy, chips and muffins. And maybe on the computer at least 8 hrs per day. Really draining me last few days trying to work outside and do this.nod

Quote from cw195850 :
I read online that fox urine will keep rabbits out of a garden. I tried the cayenne pepper, plastic bags tied to poles, moth balls in a jar (the smell is supposed to keep them away), and even garlic. None of these worked for me. The rabbits just look at me as they continue to eat the leaves off my green beans. So I ordered fox pee on ebay. When I get it and try it out I will let you all know if it works to keep rabbits out of the garden. If it doesn't guess I'll have to invest in some kind of fence (chicken wire or something). Just hope it won't attract fox to my yard-but I don't live in the country so hopefully it won't.
In reading and from experience just try to make sure they cannot dig under the wire if you have to do that. Dig it into the ground. Is it a large area? I was not kidding about my dogs. they are fast and the poor rabbits get between the fence posts and I cannot believe how they get through as some of them are big to get away from them. They used to for years have their babies under my shed but have not now for 2 years probably because of the dogs. So they can dig deep.

Quote from Vegas123 :
Will be interesting to find out if it works....if it does, I'll see if it will work for chipmunks.
The chipmunks left also probably due to the dogs. Do chipmunks destroy also? I have a beautiful flowering japanese berry tree in the front and something gnawed away a large chunk out of the base - lucky it did not die. a fat trunk at least 2x the size of a coffee cup. Wonder if it was the chipmunks or rabbits. That is all I really have here I think.

Quote from Giggles1 :
Good evening all. Thanks for the links and Congrats to all of the recent winners.



I read somewhere that placing Peppermint Oil (not extract) around gardens will keep a number of animals away from veggies and even entire acreage lots. Should be relatively easy to find. Not sure if planting Peppermint will do the same thing. Probably smells better than any urine LOL Hope this helps.
Funny you said that. I did plant peppermint about 2 years ago and that is when the rabbits and chipmunks left me.
