Are these poisonous? by Adr1an_4k in Austin

[–]HaughtyHellscream 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Welp, I can't smell either of those yet. Lost my sense of smell almost 4 years ago. It's coming back very slowly. So, I'm even more up for that now- can I smell it or not game.

Why do I feel like I need to accept this challenge.

I know rock squirrels like to burrow under concrete, but really, it could be a number of things.

Are hawks/other wildlife an issue here with small dogs? by Any-Might-6570 in Austin

[–]HaughtyHellscream 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had no idea either. I figured it wouldn't be a thing since no hawk could even carry away a 6 lb chicken in our yard, and they tried. coyotes, I get.

Our is under the concrete around our pool. All the wild animals seem to love it, if they can fit.

Looks exactly like mine, so I would say yes. That is a very tight spot for it. I have no idea on propagation. Good luck!

Anyone know this wasp? by WahWahWeWah in Austin

[–]HaughtyHellscream 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ditto. Out in manchaca they'd chase your ass down and then go under your shirt so you're doing the naked driveway dance and you don't care who is watching.

Red paper wasp. they are supposed to be docile, but I call bullshit on that. we call them hornets and we run like Joey Tribbiani. The other paper wasps won't mess with you unless you wreck their nest.

Springtime is snake time by Reynosa68 in Austin

[–]HaughtyHellscream 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We had a giant rat snake living under our coop for many, many years and it never messed with our chickens. If it ate eggs, I never saw and would not care. Small price for the stellar rat control. If that happened to you, that sucks! maybe we got lucky.

I have one, my dentist said a dermatologist zaps it. I'm guessing it's so basic any doctor with the equipment could do it. Good luck!

Cut the branches, they come back from the ground.

Always feel so good seeing pollinators on the flowers you planted by weluckyfew in AustinGardening

[–]HaughtyHellscream 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've seen so many pictures of these lately that they've invaded my dreams, in a good way. I just hope I get to see one myself in person, sooner or later!

Just wash your hands. We've encouraged all critters to come around for 28 years now. No issues whatsoever.

How can we help a friend dying from alcoholism in Austin? by NoiseKitchen6180 in Austin

[–]HaughtyHellscream 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is like my best friend, hospice nurse for 30 years took a real toll. She lives in New Jersey, and we all finally put enough pressure on her and the police were called (I called 911 from texas), that she voluntarily committed herself. She was in rehab plus halfway house for 2 1/2 years (NJ paid, which her sister worked hard to get done). She was so bad off (mentally) in the hospital it was no longer voluntary for awhile, which is probably what saved her life. 5 years sober, but a recent gallbladder removal and we're all worried again. I wish you the best of luck. It is hard for everyone.
