Took a break from yelling at the goddam squirrels to read an exchange on Nextdoor that I was yelling at the squirrels again and now I’m “That Guy Who Yells At Squirrels” which is bullshit cuz I yell at a lot of other stuff.
@woodyluvscoffee I never look at next door - I pretend I still live in the country and these houses around me don’t exist yet 😂 I know how weird I am- I don’t need their unvarnished opinion on that 😂😂😂😂
@woodyluvscoffee Does yelling at the squirrels work? Maybe i should try it. 🤔
@marinao it doesn’t help much, but it’s personal. The squirrels know what they did.
@woodyluvscoffee That's ok. I yelled at popsicle sticks when they were splitting instead of allowing an eye for crochet needles. I have gotten pretty good at whittling them though. lol
@AppalachianCrochet Those were popsicle sticks? Very cool. But yell at them anyway.

@woodyluvscoffee Yes, my grandpa was a great whittler who taught me how to cut away from myself and make snares among other things like whistles and even rope from stripped bark. I still have an old canebrake chair that he weaved the seat for in 1988 with me. The hard part is not having the wood split down the center when making the eye. Trick, soak your popsicle sticks in water overnight.

Full on East TN geek! lol (Although I live in OH now.)

@AppalachianCrochet east tenn? Old friend was from Goosepimple Junction, near Bristol.
@woodyluvscoffee Oh yes, I know where that is. My grandpa is out of that area of the sticks and I grew up in Hamblen County.
@woodyluvscoffee Hello, once you start yelling, how can you ever stop?
@woodyluvscoffee @msbellows Well, that’s better than “the guy who throws his mower across the yard.” If you were to see me in person you’d think it’s not possible, but Toros are surprisingly aerodynamic.
@heafnerj @msbellows if u sling by the handle I’m sure you can get good distance.
@heafnerj @woodyluvscoffee @msbellows that should be an Olympic sport, after the shotput competition. The Olympic version of “hold my beer”
@TriciaA17 @woodyluvscoffee @msbellows Yes. The qualifier is weed whacker tossing. I get good air with Stihl.
@woodyluvscoffee This is the kind of toot that shows up in Squirrel Girl's feed. #SquirrelGirl
@woodyluvscoffee I stopped looking at Nextdoor because I determined nothing good ever happens by my reading what my hyper-vigilant, borderline-paranoid neighbors have to say.
@woodyluvscoffee They were our buddies until they developed a taste for guacamole and ravaged the avocado tree. Can’t yell loud enough these days!!!
@rjrjr ah yes, they don't respond well to spontaneous unsolicited negative feedback. Regular positive reinforcement is the way to go.
@drainmice I'm just amazed that so many of them have Nextdoor accounts.
@rjrjr it's been said that many owners of nextdoor accounts are rodents
@woodyluvscoffee do the squirrels have an account on Next Door? Kinda makes me wonder…anyone who’s had squirrels should know they need to be yelled at. Loudly and often.

@woodyluvscoffee Beauty. My dogs agree with your prioritization of squirrels as targets, though.
@woodyluvscoffee Every person that has a bird feeder is like:
@woodyluvscoffee
I hate it when I’m misunderstood too…
😂😂
@woodyluvscoffee 🥥 I, for one, salute your ecumenism, Woody! 🥥
@woodyluvscoffee now you need to up the ante so that you're not longer the guy who yells at squirrels
@woodyluvscoffee psst @_nadine new neighborhood goal just dropped 👀↑↑

@woodyluvscoffee

Are you still yelling at squirrels? And, btw what did they do to deserve your wrath?

@woodyluvscoffee My mother would have been the crazy lady who yells at bluejays...
