My killing spree continues, with hundreds — maybe thousands — of wasps, sugar ants, and now fall webworms (aka tent caterpillars but they are actually a different critter) on the list. I am still pretty conflicted about it all but am doing what needs done.
This was in stark contrast yesterday after asking my housepainter if we (he actually) could try blasting the higher up webworms from a large tree with his high powered pressure washer.
He, his son, and a friend’s husband gathered under the tree with a gleam in their eyes, cheering the process on as each webby mass filled with hundreds of caterpillars was anailiated. Rather than feeling bad about it, like I did the day before as I got the lowest nests out of the tree and drowned the caterpillars in a bucket of soapy water, they were clearly enjoying the caterpillar slaying.
The painter’s son, in his mid-20s, even asked me to video him blasting the webs so he could send it to his friends!
Granted, maybe not every guy would enjoy it as much as they did, but I take it as more evidence that gender is not a social construct. I truly seem to lack the hunter impulse and don’t approach the task with the gusto that these men did. And yet, I recognize that gusto doesn’t need to be tamed, shamed, or labeled “toxic masculinity.”
Hunters and gatherers. I know which one I would rather be. I’ll take gathering any day! But I am also thankful that others embrace the hunter role. Viva la difference!
What do you think? Please share in the comments.
Notes From a Red Pill Girl 
A few weeks back I was admiring a pretty little white moth, thinking it looked like a Russian princess decked out in ermine grandeur. Who knew it was a lady moth looking to lay the eggs that would soon hatch out into the caterpillars and their webby mess? https://bugguide.net/node/view/866947/bgimage
I think that you need to go hunting for real.
My only experience is hunting humans, so you’ll need to find someone else to teach you how to hunt critters…
Agreed this is not real hunting. 🙂 I have never been hunting but have been fishing. I enjoy going along but not really the actual fishing part. I am not sure I would enjoy the actual hunting part any more. As for hunting humans, I know for sure I am no warrior. I think I’d be better at making sammmiches and tea and assisting in that way!

Thoughts?
Cost or value?
Cappy was asking legitimately how much would you pay just for the number of a conservative, marriage minded, non tatted, non obese, non single mother, god fearing, supportive woman?
You know, the ones in the seventies we just called girls.
Now as Cappy says, rarer than platinum.
Seems he has a number of his followers who are female, and if they are following Cappy they must be conservative red pill and he was thinking of matchmaking as a service and the old capitalist was wondering what the market value of such a product was.
As he said not gauranteeing anything, just for the number, the chance.
$500 too much for such a rarity? Hell just to confirm that such a mythelogical beast exists might be worth it
Nothing. I had one, and she changed.
Who can find a virtuous woman, for her price is far above rubies.
I’m not a captain capitalism fan.
‘Cappy was asking legitimately how much would you pay just for the number of a conservative, marriage minded, non tatted, non obese, non single mother, god fearing, supportive woman?’
Just for the number…nothing.
I want some proof first she is this way before giving the real investment she’s looking for, marriage…and the traits I’d be looking at are marraige minded, God fearing, and supportive.
The other things you can see in plain sight…no bastards, no tats, no fat, etc.

The woman’s thinking was coming from the perspective of “life”. The son’s thinking was coming from the perspective of “oh boy, target practice”. I doubt that “life” entered his thoughts at all.
lol! it’s a guy-thing, me thinks!
about an hour or so away from us, some friends i know in their community are battling crickets this year. thankfully, we’re not … BUT … ONE cricket did get in our house the other night. i disabled it by spraying it with vinegar (it works! doesn’t kill critters, but it will often numb them or disable them long enough to get rid of them – works on wasps in the house, too). i got it half-way killed so it wouldn’t move and called my husband to come get him.
he said, “Ahhh, I was going to catch it and release it outside!”
and i replied, “Ohhh, no you weren’t! That thing needed to DIE! They’re having an INFESTATION over at our friend’s town, and this guy could REPRODUCE!!! NOOO!!! Kill him all the way and get rid of it!!!”
well, since i had half-killed the thing he had no choice 🙂 🙂 🙂 (dead critter! win for me!!!)
i absolutely hate dealing with critters … my husband doesn’t mind at all and thinks i’m funny and crazy and hysterical all at the same time (he’s right, of course!)
okay … just saw this idea yesterday on facebook? you reminded me of it, and i thought i’d share. i know nothing about it, but it’s worth looking into:

lol!
it might be more peaceful to hunt critters than humans, but i have absolutely no experience in either, so i probably shouldn’t even comment to this! lol!
I am not sure I would enjoy the actual hunting part any more. As for hunting humans, I know for sure I am no warrior. I think I’d be better at making sammmiches and tea and assisting in that way!
me, too! and i don’t want the super scary or gory parts of the stories … just the nice parts! lol! 🙂

I have a bit of experience, and am mentioned by name in this book:

i just ordered the book … yay! another book to read! i love reading. it’s my sanity … therefore everyone around me loves that i read, too 🙂
LOL Ame.
That is cool, FML. 🙂

lol! i can see that 🙂
wow. i’ll just add that to my amazon list. i don’t think i could read that one without crying all the time 😦
i’m sooo thankful there are those of you who can handle stuff like this. SO incredibly thankful and grateful.
thank you for all you’ve done to help others. you have an incredible gift; thank you for using it to help.
i’m so sorry for what your stbx has done to you; you did not deserve it, neither did your children.
sometimes y’all share little windows into who you are and what you’ve done and what you do, (like FML just did) … and i’m in awe. i’m honored that y’all let me into your lives via this space … this little dot of me gets to interact with some truly incredible people out here. you people amaze me all.the.time 🙂
Thanks for the thoughts, but it is what it is. Nothing to be sorry about.

“I want some proof first she is this way before giving the real investment she’s looking for, marriage…and the traits I’d be looking at are marraige minded, God fearing, and supportive.”
Hey I have a couple of daughters that fit your criteria. One is 21 the other is only 17 but will be 18 in a few months. Boy do they want to find some good Catholic Caucasian males to meet with, yeah white Catholics only.
So sue me, I’m picky. Hahahaha
Just sayin’ , the girls you’re looking for are out there but they’re probably not advertising on the interweb.
Keep up the search.
Well, I am almost 70, but I have only found one(1) unicorn, and I married her. There may be others because much of my life was in the Canadian North, so for the hopeful:
‘Just sayin’ , the girls you’re looking for are out there but they’re probably not advertising on the interweb.’
You wouldn’t believe how far the not wanting to get married mindset women have is. Even a lot of Catholic gals suffer this virus.
Ok. Try it another way.
Are marriage minded, non obese, non tatted, non single mother girls rare?
Worth alot?
No big deal?
Dime a dozen?
Been out of dating since 1986.
Back then such girls were a dime a dozen cause it was most girls.
P.s. I was 22 during my great six day courtship. Took almost two years to saved for the wedding at 24 that we paid for ourselves.
@earl
“You wouldn’t believe how far the not wanting to get married mindset women have is. Even a lot of Catholic gals suffer this virus.”
I believe it. I have heard even from my fellow Latin Mass loving Catholics that girls shouldn’t get married until they are 30.
I believe it is wrong think, I have trained most of my daughters to want marriage and children as a vocation. I say most, because I think I may have messed up with my oldest. I was 21 when she was born, and far less wise then I am today.
My other daughters though are looking/or will be looking to court a husband not DATE a man, and never marry outside of their religious upbringing. Whether they heed their instruction or not only time will tell.
I know with certainty I would have married a non-catholic and my wife would have done the same. We, along with most catholic youth, are/were not taught why we should not marry someone outside the faith.
Ame I do have lots of bats and see them flying around after dark but I think the yellow jackets go into their nest at dark so their paths don’t cross.
I put up some traps that lure the wasps in w a pheromone and then they can’t get back out. By mid afternoon there were several hundred stuffed into them!
Ironically yellow jackets are a predator for the caterpillars. Sure enough I saw them circling the webs and by the next day they had eaten all but the heads of the caterpillars in a web I was able to tear open but not dislodge. Maybe I should let the two just duke it out? Lol.
“Maybe I should let the two just duke it out? Lol.”
DO IT! It will be like mothra and Godzilla. :
And get some on video please. 😆
Roman Lance, I’m half Italian and large Catholic families in my experience often have an older spinster daughter…I’m not sure of the setup in your home, but they’re typically very responsible women, but they kind of helped care for the other children and become a bit of a de facto nanny to the others. Not sure of your family situation, but that’s been my observation from the Italian end (this spans generations of families…they aren’t reproducing now, of 50 cousins only three have any children at all)
For clarity: When I say de facto nanny I mean.. to subsequent grandchildren too. They have strong family bonds, and a lot of fulfillment, but it’s not typically their own children but siblings (again, just my observation from that side of my own family…I have no idea about yours).

Or just pay me 20-50 per hour for all the things a SIW won’t or can’t do for herself that a wife and mother doesn’t have to:
Before\after school care
Summer camping trip
Pest control
Small appliance repair\installation
Routine car\household equipment maintenance
Landscaping\snow plowing
Furniture moving\assembly
Or she can do learn to do it herself, on her own, she might even have time afterwards for a refreshing nap.
All coming out of her fantastic career paycheque and after her work day is done.
Oh and don’t forget financial planning, investing and retirement because its a long way to 85 all on your own once the kids leave!!
P.s.I take cash, um cash or cash.
Sorry no cheques (like I trust you) or credit cards (not adding to your debt).
PLUS all the money You have to pay ME for my services!!
Ain’t independence grand!!!
LOL!!! this is just toooo good not to share! Pay close attention “ladies”
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/women/life/spent-savings-elite-matchmaking-agency-meet-array-mediocre/
Life can be a bitch sometimes. Guess mt laughing does’mt help much….
as this retarded female says “I had just come out of a seven year relationship, and was on the wrong side of 50.” Um, yeah….get some cats, bitch!
Gee Horseman, you left out “trade”…what the hell, man?
“P.s.I take cash, um cash or cash.
Sorry no cheques (like I trust you) or credit cards (not adding to your debt).”
@horseman; women who work have shorter lifespans than women who don’t. So shave off at least 10 to 15 years from 85.
So I have been talking to my high school class mate, the fashion plate, the woman who for my whole life has been the symbol of American beauty. She is the one with the GoFundMe page because she is down-and-out. For the last five years she has been taking care of her dying father.poP He died earlier this year. She lost her job. She had back surgery and got a blood infection. She nearly died. She just went to a gym for the first time in two years
She is in that perfect dumb spot where women bought the idea that they don’t need men, but they never focused on earning enough money to take care of themselves. So she, at 50, is homeless (couch surfing) and jobless. She is broken in every way that there is to be broken. And she told me that she is starting over at 50 as if she were setting out on some exciting adventure.
She never got married and she never had kids.
In my contact with her I indicate that her inability to deal with men is the reason why she is in the position that she is in.
She has no excuse. She could have had ANY man that she wanted. Even now, if she could pull her head out of her ass, she could do very well for herself.
But in my contact with her I picked up on the tell-tale signs of narcissistic personality disorder. Her snap reaction to avoiding any personal responsibility or self-reflection told me all I needed to know.
Now I know how to deal with her. First, the only thing that can be done with people with narcissistic personality disorder is to back away slowly. There is no cure for them, and there is no hope for them. Secondly, when talking to her, I understand that talking about anything other than her is physically painful to her. So I just focus on giving her narcissistic supply.
I’m just playing with her. She will be dead soon enough. I’m just glad that she doesn’t even have the intelligence and instinct for self-preservation of a racoon. Because if she did, she would have said, “Stay on the phone with me while I pack my stuff into this car and drive from Las Vegas to Los Angeles and come over to your house and suck your dick and fuck your brains out and cook you breakfast. And then we can talk about my next bold move.” Thank God she didn’t do that. I have no effective mental defense against this woman.
Almost every woman that I know is self-destructing. We are living through this first time in human history when a huge portion of women are not under the care of men. They thought that they could take care of themselves. They cannot. And we will start seeing them die like flies. Female old-age destitution will be the rule, not the exception, for the next three generations.
I have a lot of money. I will never have sex with a woman again where I haven’t paid cash for it up front. The future’s so bright, I gotta wear shades.
Roger, I am so going to steal this insult and add it to my own collection! One should always have fresh and biting retorts on hand.
“I’m just glad that she doesn’t even have the intelligence and instinct for self-preservation of a raccoon. “
Trade?
Are you fing kidding.
In the era of metoo?
Not sure if most of you know but I wear a bodycam to all jobs!!
I keep the footage on two redundent hard drives indefinitely. Release right in my written quotes that they acknowledge being filmed in case of future disputes.
And I avoid all inside work until I have done a few jobs for them and trust them.
Roger
“First, the only thing that can be done with people with narcissistic personality disorder is to back away slowly. ”
No dude!! Get the fuck out!! Now!! Warp speed!
She is desperate and feral. She will make a play for anyone at any time now as a life preserver!! Ghost right now!
Please tell me she doesnt know where you live. You have money as you say. She desperately needs money. Want her showing up at 3 a.m. screaming her head off, waking the neighbors telling the cops you did something? Your word against hers. Then she plays the Stormy Daniels card “pay me and all this goes away!”
Dude!! Self preservation!!
And we will start seeing them die like flies. Female old-age destitution will be the rule, not the exception, for the next three generations.
That part I agree with. Retirement at 20k a year poverty level requires 400k in pension savings. These women late 50s even if working are getting tired of working. And bigger fear every day knowing they do not have near that 400k even in house assets.
Now mix in BPD, narsissistic, bipolar or just fucking entitled. Plus a track record of bad decisions to get there. Mix in a need for drama fueled by this crisis. Top it off with the cherry of decades of man hating and deflection “men did this to me.”
You do not want to be in the line of fire of that.
They will not go quietly.
They will clutch at any resources they can or bring someone down with them.
Its gonna be ugly.
Hilarious in its irony
But ugly.
My grandmother lost papa in her late 60s. Her three sister all widowed over the years.
But they all lived into their 90s in their apartments in the same building. Because the men had long prepared for them. Just graceful old ladies making tea and playing cribbage each night together.
Shame it will be lifetime SIW working til their 65 then aging alone. Plus the feral frivorcees without a dime by 65 as Roger says.
Nope not pretty at all
(And about the same time the demographics break the social security systems. It wont go bankrupt just out of the current cash surplus. Then benefits fall to what that years tax revenue can directly fund.)
http://time.com/money/4213065/will-social-security-run-out-money/
“Based on the Social Security Administration’s 2015 report, the trust is on track to be depleted in 2034, at which point the system will be able to pay 79% of benefits from ongoing tax revenue. That projection is expected to shrink to 73% by 2089. The Congressional Budget Office estimates that the shortfall could come as early as 2025.”
Fyi raccoons when cornered are some of the nastiest fighters on the planet!
well ok then;
“Fyi raccoons when cornered are some of the nastiest fighters on the planet!”
Then I better modify Roger’s insult to:
“she doesn’t even have the intelligence and instinct for self-preservation of a retarded ferret. “
With due respect to all the raccoons.
Horseman,
“Trade?
Are you fing kidding.

Not sure if most of you know but I wear a bodycam to all jobs!!
well, yeah. Good plan (the body cam).
Roger, have you seen this movie?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Young_Adult_(film)
This might be a documentary of your high school girl (so to speak)…
a few years back anyway.
If you need resolve (though it doesn’t sound like it), that movie should help.
Heh, Larry…I’m something of an insult “connoisseur” also. 😆
Horseman;

This used to be a big part of a husband’s duty towards his wife when they married. A man was expected to provide resources to take care and provide for the woman who took his name and gave him children.
Well, that pretty much is off the table now, isn’t it? The females have repeatedly said over and over again that they do not want to depend on any man for anything. Well ooookay cupcakes, we believe you! Make your own way, pay your own bills, drink LOTS of wine to numb the loneliness, LOL!
My wife has a mortgage free home, a tidy sum of retirement cash that I already provided for her and zero family debt. The lovely lady I married will not be destitute once I kick the bucket.
Roger B…”For the last five years she has been taking care of her dying father.”
Shouldn’t she get at least some credit for having done this? A lot of narcissists would not.
If true, David…you’re right.
That’s commendable in the extreme.
But it’s not necessarily true.
And (sorry, just sayin’) way back when I was doing nursing clinicals I saw a lot of cases of family members who profited off of their dying parents (stole medications to sell and so forth).
There are a lot of variables to consider before I would accept that claim as legitimate.
From the description, she doesn’t strike me as the self-sacrificing kind of girl.

“Heh, Larry…I’m something of an insult “connoisseur” also.”
Don’t know about the “connoisseur” business, my French is pretty shitty. However, I sooo enjoy creative and cutting insults that usually leave my target dumbfounded/speechless/and most certainly infuriated or enraged.
and most certainly infuriated or enraged.
lol! it’s one of your life’s missions, Larry! nothin better than being the best at what’s important to us 🙂
Ame,
“it’s one of your life’s missions, Larry!”
A man must have a mission in life. Luckily this one of mine keeps me happy and occupied pissing off feminists. I have other missions as well, although much more mellow in nature.
If we have a real troll in here who annoys me I suspect you won’t be disappointed.
I generally try to make people happy…but, I confess get a kick out of those exchanges (if it’s obvious the person is just a jackass).
@ Liz you are most welcome to take on trolls here anytime. I’ll make popcorn for all the rest of us! 🍿
@ roger I am also glad she did not suggest such. Good for you to realize this vulnerability, especially as she has clear possible motivation to exploit people. Beware — if she is a narc ist they can be incredibly charming and clever as they move in on a “useful” target to suck dry at after the hooks are in. 😦

Bloom will make the snacks … and I’ll hide in the corner covering my eyes, occasionally peeking through. I hate conflict, much to the chagrin of my daughters and son-in-law! they get about one minute to argue, then i cut it off 🙂 … and my Oldest LOVES to argue with people and watch them get all in a tither and blunder and flustered. she thinks that’s fun. i love having the Mom Trump Card over her 🙂

Ame,
“Larry, i’m continually amazed at all you’ve done and accomplished in your life and how you care for you wife”
Just like Horseman’s wife, my wife has earned it. During our good times and when shit hit the fan, she was there and in my corner. Loyalty and fidelity are priceless.
“suck dry”. sounds good! lol
But doesn’t suck wet sound better?
(bah dum dum)
“Bloom will make the snacks … and I’ll hide in the corner covering my eyes,”
It’s kind of impossible for me to hold back. Unless I use my mittens. I hate my mittens.
Ame: “grrrrrrrrrrr”
Yeah. There are a lot of bad people out there. Especially in the heavy drug-trade areas of the country.
But, there are a lot of really really good people in world too (fortunately).
Kind of everyday stuff that doesn’t make the news so we tend to forget (unless we surround ourselves with good people, to remind us).
Ah, no.
@horseman
I’ll probably stop texting her now. Your points are always worth considering. If this woman had that kind of intelligence and initiative, she would be living on easy street right now.
It’s funny. I had not noticed that included in a text was her asking me how my weekend was going. When I failed to respond, she poked me with a blank text as if to say, “Don’t you dare ignore me if I offer you a chance to communicate with me.” I immediately responded with some appropriate narcissistic supply.
@Larry
I chose to reference the raccoon because everyone knows that they are feisty, resourceful, and intelligent. At the end of the day, raccoons are running on instinct. Humans need to be better than that.
@David Foster
She gets credit for taking care of her father. My point was that her inability to manager a relationship with a man was making her life harder than it needed to be. There is no reason why she couldn’t take care of her father while having a husband or long-term boyfriend.
@Liz
The first thing she told me when I ran into her two years ago was that, contrary to what others might say about her, she was not mooching off of her father. I have since learned that when a sufferer of narcissistic personality disorder says, “Don’t listen to what other people say about me because it isn’t true,” means that I should listen to what other people say about her because it’s true.
@Liz
I’m going to look at the Young Adult film right now.
Hey RPG
4-F her!
Fun video, Larry! 🙂
