I still like this one:

You know you're a redneck when your husband gives you a big roll of chicken wire for Valentines Day---and you're thrilled with it!

and that one's true!

1. You take your dog for a walk and you both use the same tree.

Jeez, some of these even *I* qualify for, and I'm a (compared to most here) leftist suburban dweller:

9. You come back from the dump with more than you took. (doesn't everyone?)

16. You know how many bales of hay your car will hold. (high school when I used to show horses)

23. You have a complete set of salad bowls and they all say
"Cool Whip" on the side. (college)

25. Your working TV sits on top of your non-working TV. (converted a nice wood TV cabinet to a DVD/VCR player cabinet with space to store movies and glass doors where the screen used to be.)

26. You've used your ironing board as a buffet table. (college...)

28. You've used a toilet brush to scratch your back. (okay, I was 4 years old at the time, but still...)

My across and just down the road neighbor sold her house to one of the her kids and is building on my side of the road (downsizing). Primary effect is not only the location of her house but clearing out the trees at the road in front means I can't pee off the deck without having to look around really good anymore.

I've carried bottle calves home from the sales barn on the passenger floorboard. OK when they just lay there. It's the ones which get up on the seat and start sucking on your ear which are a nuisance.

TN redneck traffic rules. Yellow line on your side of the road - look before passing. Double yellow lines in middle of road - look really good before passing.

So sorry! I DID say it wasn't for the faint of heart!

I would have posted another, stronger warning, but it's too late: Someone else has inserted the graphic (and I do mean GRAPHIC!!)

It may be an incentive for those who need visuals for weight loss, though!

Pony!

DH can get 2 pallets (2000 lbs. each) of deer corn or carrots in his van and it doesn't even squat.

I am proud to say I must be a redneck through and through....but I've never heard of a sad redneck....we just duct tape stuff or use bailing wire on it and keep going....kind of like that Energizer Bunny! Can you imagine how frustrating life must be for perfectionists (a perfectionist redneck would be an oxymoron)? I think the redneck attitude toward jury-riggin stuff is American ingenuity at work!

all I ca say is wow
I do know how many bales my car AND van will hold,
I do have flea and tick in the shower,
and I dont have curtins

I also,...
1. have 3 unhooked vcrs stacked next to my TV
2. use my carport for my trailers, not my cars,
3. use stacks of boxes, hay, and computer paper against the wall for extra insulation
4. use plastic lawn chairs for a gate
5. line the fence with concrete blocks so the dog dont dig out.
6. wrote my penpal a letter last week on the back of a steak and shake menu that had dried coffee circles on it.
and..
7. carpeted the inside of my dogs cage for her comfort. my house is un carpeted.

guess my neck is red.
