Congratulations! You have been to to Ship Full O' Pirates over 100 times! Just thought you'd like to know.
Because something like this is just not redneck enough…
And besides, my redneck heating pad is down-right frugal! And I bet you have all the materials already on hand!
You’ll need:
- 1 bandanna
- 1 pony tail holder
- 2 cups of either wheat berries or rice (still dry and uncooked)
Lay out the bandanna, maybe drape it over a cereal bowl.
Pour the wheat berries or rice into the center of the bandanna. Wrap the sides of the bandanna up to form the pony-tail around which you will wind the pony tail holder firmly, but about 2 inches away from the wheat.
That way the wheat can sit inside the bandanna in a relaxed and sorta floppy state, instead of being uptight and hard.
OK, that’s all there is to it. Yer done with the construction phase.
For the application phase you need to pop that bad boy into the m’wave for about 1½ minutes. Test the warmth of your redneck heating pad before giving it to a small child or placing it on your sensitive parts.
I hear a question forming in your mind, don’t I? You’re wondering ~
“Hey! Mother Hen, why do you need to make a Redneck Heating Pad today? What in tarnation has befallen you, Mother Hen?”
Well, I’m glad you asked. It’s my wrist. Hurts like the dickens! And if ya promise not to spread the heinously bad news around I’ll tell what I think is goin’ on. When I sit at the computer I rest my wrists on the top of my desk while I type (gasp! I know, I’m terrified!)
I guess this desk is too high for proper typing posture. I think I can see some furniture rearranging in the near future for some of my taller, stronger Cowboys.

Hi Nancy,
That’s a great idea. I know I have a wrist brace around here somewhere.
Hi Kimarie,
Yeah, I thought about putting some lavender in there, but if I ever want the Cowboys to use it, forget that.
Here’s something that worked well for my troubled wrist. A kind dr. hoping to save me from surgery (he didn’t know I had no intention of doing anything that extreme anyway!), told me to go get an inexpensive wrist brace at Walgreen’s. He suggested I wear it 24/7 for a week or so and then sleep in it every night till the pain subsided. It worked! Now every now and then I have to go back to night time wearing it, which is a testimony to how much time I am spending/wasting on the computer. But it has definitely helped. Hope you can benefit, too.
p.s. I love using a rice bag, too. The heat seeps through the brace and is so lovely!
I love it! Reminds me of my rice sock that was a staple item during labor. 1 tube sock, 1 pony tail, rice and lavender to fill. Great for relaxing the neck at bedtime, too.
