  1. Rutt Wipe, Inc. is the innovators of the original blaze orange toilet paper that protects your assets! Rutt Wipe is a blaze orange biodegradable, non-toxic tissue paper that has much more uses than outdoor hygiene. This hunter-safe toilet paper eliminates the appearance of flashing your household white TP in the woods that has the same anatomical resemblance of a whitetail deer. Blaze orange toilet paper can also be used for trail marking ribbons, tracking deer, and even draping scent wicks over branches. Don't get shot with your pants down! You need survival essentials in the woods, including hunter-safe toilet paper. So why are you flashing white toilet paper in the same anatomical area you would find a white deer tail? -Safely Mark Trails- Environmentally safe. Unlike orange plastic ribbons, Rutt Wipe will biodegade in time. (You won't give away your secret spot to other hunters). -Track Deer- While tracking your wounded deer, hang Rutt Wipe at each blood spot. This records the direction the deer is going AND...you find your way back out of the woods! -Scent Wicks- Don't buy those expensive felt wicks. Use your Rutt Wipe. First, double up 12" of orange toilet paper. Second, twist one end up until you have a 2" tappered end. Finally, tie the other end to a branch and dip the twisted end into your favorite scent. -Other Benefits- Safe Biodegradable Non-toxic Does not resemble a deer's tail Www.ruttwipe.com
  2. ** Graphic read and picture ** I felt this needed to be reposted on here. This was on Tri-Cities Craigslist. I wish I knew who the shelter manger was who posted this, this is the most commendable thing I have ever witnessed and this person is amazing. When you surrender your best friend to the shelter go ahead and think it won't happen to them. But now you know better. And don't go out and get another one, if you cared so little to do it once you will do it again. Please Please Read This BEFORE you breed dogs in your back yard! BEFORE you take them to the POUND (USA) I think our society needs a huge "Wake-up" call. As a shelter manager, I am going to share a little insight with you all...a view from the inside if you will. First off, all of you people who have ever surrendered a pet to a shelter or humane society should be made to work in the "back" of an animal shelter for just one day. Maybe if you saw the life drain from a few sad, lost, confused eyes, you would stop flagging the ads on Craigslist and help these animals find homes. That puppy you just bought will most likely end up in my shelter when it's not a cute little puppy anymore. Just so you know there's a 90% chance that dog will never walk out of the shelter it's dumped at? Purebred or not! About 25% of all of the dogs that are "owner surrenders" or "strays", that come into a shelter are purebred dogs. The most common excuses: "We are moving and we can't take our dog (or cat)." Really? Where are you moving too that doesn't allow pets? Or they say, "The dog got bigger than we thought it would". How big did you think a German Shepherd would get? "We don't have time for her". Really? I work a 10-12 hour day and still have time for my 6 dogs! "She's tearing up our yard". How about making her a part of your family? They always tell me, "We just don't want to have to stress about finding a place for her. We know she'll get adopted, she's a good dog". Odds are your pet won't get adopted & how stressful do you think being in a shelter is? Well, let me tell you, your pet has 72 hours to find a new family from the moment you drop it off. Sometimes a little longer if the shelter isn't full and your dog manages to stay completely healthy. If it sniffles, it dies. Your pet will be confined to a small run/kennel in a room with other barking or crying animals. It will have to relieve itself where it eats and sleeps. It will be depressed and it will cry constantly for the family that abandoned it. If your pet is lucky, I will have enough volunteers in that day to take him/her for a walk. If I don't, your pet won't get any attention besides having a bowl of food slid under the kennel door and the waste sprayed out of its pen with a high-powered hose. If your dog is big, black or any of the "Bully" breeds (pit bull, rottie, mastiff, etc) it was pretty much dead when you walked it through the front door. Those dogs just don't get adopted. It doesn't matter how 'sweet' or 'well behaved' they are. If your dog doesn't get adopted within its 72 hours and the shelter is full in most cases, it will be destroyed. If the shelter isn't full and your dog is good enough, and of a desirable enough breed it may get a stay of execution, but not for long. Most dogs get very kennel protective after about a week, and are destroyed for showing aggression. Even the sweetest dogs will turn in this environment. If your pet makes it over all of those hurdles, chances are it will get kennel cough or an upper respiratory infection and will be destroyed because the shelter gets paid a fee to euthanize each animal, and making money is better than spending money to take this animal to the vet. Here's a little euthanasia 101 for those of you that have never witnessed a perfectly healthy, scared animal being "put-down". First, your pet will be taken from its kennel on a leash. They always look like they think they are going for a walk happy, wagging their tails. Until they get to "The Room", every one of them freaks out and puts on the brakes when we get to the door. It must smell like death or they can feel the sad souls that are left in there, it's strange, but it happens with every one of them. When it all ends, your pet's corpse will be stacked like firewood in a large freezer in the back with all of the other animals that were killed, waiting to be picked up like garbage. What happens next? Cremated? Taken to the dump? Rendered into pet food? Or used for the schools to dissect and experiment on? You'll never know and it probably won't even cross your mind. It was just an animal and you can always buy another one, right? I hope that those of you who still have a beating heart and have read this are bawling your eyes out and can't get the pictures out of your head, I deal with this everyday. I hate my job, I hate that it exists & I hate that it will always be there unless you people make some changes and start educating the public. Do research, do your homework, and know exactly what you are getting into before getting a pet. These shelters and humane societies exist because people just do not care about animals anymore. Animals were not intended to be disposable but somehow that is what they are these days. Animal shelters are an easy way out when you get tired of your dog (or cat), and breeders are the ones blamed for this. Animal shelters and rescue organizations are making a hefty profit by keeping this misconception going. Between 9 and 11 MILLION animals die every year in shelters (Humane Society of the United States estimates 3-4 million) and only you - as a pet owner can stop it. I just hope I maybe changed one persons mind about taking their dog to a shelter, a humane society, or buying a dog without researching. For those of you that care--- please re-post this to at least one other Craigslist in another city/state. Let's see if we can get this all around the US and have an impact. THINK before your selfishness begins to take over.
  3. That was good, repped. Lol
  4. Bump just because I haven't bumped it in forever.
  5. And here is my battery that was defective a couple hours ago.
  6. My craftsman 19.2v battery was saying defective in the charger. I took my fully charged battery and hooked it up to the bad one with some wires and clamps and bobby pins. I let it sit for 20 minutes and put it back on the charger. It longer says defective but is now charging. Seems it was so dead that it wouldn't recharge. I figured this might help some of you. Bad Battery ___A1___ _B1__C1_ ___D1___ Good Battery ___A2___ _B2__C2_ ___D2___ Connect A1 to A2, Connect B1 to B2 Connect C1 to C2, Connect D1 to D2
  7. I've always had this in mind. Never worn a full face in somewhere. Now with a modular, I just flip up the front and haven't had issues.
  8. Bump from the past. I thought there was another campfire food thread but couldn't find it. Anyone have some more recipes? Going camping soon and need some ideas.
  9. Aaaaannnnddddd.....I'm lost in the techy talk...lol
  10. ...how much information would have to be fed into the human brain to restore the traveler's pre-teleportation mental state. We won't be teleporting any time soon. http://m.nbcnews.com/science/trouble-teleportation-it-could-take-quadrillions-years-6C10817487
  11. Fwiw I've had no issues with my dna. I'd gladly buy another or one for my wife. But that's based on my limited experience with Motorola and htc.
  12. Oh, and ever since I had a droid x, I stay away from Motorola. I went through like 5 of them and they all sucked.
  13. I have an HTC DNA and love it. It's a larger phone but not huge. It's quick and the display is really good. Good features and options. The size makes it good for bills, web browsing, movies, etc. My only complaint is the stock keyboard but I use Google keyboard now which is much better. Oh and the battery doesn't last all that long but I either keep a charger or a battery pack with me so it's not a big deal anymore. My wife had a moto RAZR and hates it. Always buggy and giving her problems. I don't know what the similarities are between it and the RAZR max are though.
  14. Pretty cool. I read the title like a dozen times and thought it was Arcticsteel. Lol
  15. Scientists have discovered how to give false memories to mice. http://www.cnn.com/2013/07/25/health/mouse-brain-memory/index.html?hpt=hp_t3
  16. Dealt with this sort of situation before when I lived in pataskala. Two guys selling meat from their truck. Said they only had a little and as soon as they sold it boss would let them go home and they had huge discounts on it. Screw that.
  17. ***not for the easily disgusted*** http://metro.co.uk/2013/07/24/why-alcohol-sword-watermelon-is-a-recipe-for-disaster-video-3896976/
  18. This is a good sign. 132.8 miles and 17.3mpg on this tank since I added the oil. I've never gotten this good except going a long distance on the freeway and I got 17.6mpg that time. This has been my typical country roads, small city driving. I'm quite consistent with my driving habits. With my typical driving, at 132 miles I'm pretty set at about 16.2mpg, never had 17+ so I'm feeling pretty good right now. I hope I see this number when I fill up.
  19. Technically, I went in after him, pissed, washed then before I walked out while he was at the sink, talked to him. Didn't know passing a few words standing near the sink justifies getting assaulted, I'd like to see that fly in court. "Your honor, he said 'please don't wear the uniform in public' while I washed my hands so I felt the need to hit him". Good logic there bud.
