DIY: Bungee & Wine Cork Cord Ties

DIY 2 Minutes

From: thekimsixfix.com website:

Today I have a super quick little tutorial for you.  The end product isn’t the biggest, most exciting thing you have ever seen, but sometimes these little hacks are the best tricks!

If you are anything like me, you probably have a bunch of extension cords lying around your house or garage.  Maybe they are neatly wrapped up neatly hanging on a hook, or maybe they are thrown in a box, or maybe you are even organized enough to keep them neat by tying them up with zip ties (which is actually what I have always done when I am planning to store them long term.) But what I didn’t like about the Zip Tie method is that you need to cut off the tie to remove it, they aren’t reusable.

Then one day I was reading my subscription to Family Handyman (hey, some girls like Vogue, I like FH!) and I saw a reader had submitted this cork cord tie in the ‘hacks and tricks’ column.  I was immediately intrigued.  So I ran out and bought all the supplies to make my own.

The actual ‘device’ couldn’t be simpler.  A bungee cord through a wine cork.

I probably don’t have to tell you where to get wine corks. (This project is a good excuse for that glass of Merlot.)  Keep in mind YOU NEED TO USE THE SYNTHETIC RUBBER CORKS.  Real corks will crack and break when you put tension on them. So if you are your palate is too snobby too sophisticated to drink fake-o wine cork wine.. call me.  I can definitely hook you up.

When I made my version I used mini-bungee cords since they were cheaper than buying a roll of the cording itself.  If you were going to make a lot of these, or if you wanted the ties to be longer, you could always buy the actual cording.

Because I bought the cords, I needed to remove the hooks so I cut the knot off one end,

and slid the hooks off (I left the knot on the other end, since I could reuse it.) Next I drilled holes in the wine corks.  

You want the holes pretty close to the center, since you need to ends free to wrap the cord around. Next I pushed the cording through the holes forming a loop on one side. 

I tied the end of the cord that I had cut. And to prevent fraying I singed the end. Burning the tip of the cord melts the plastic and keeps the outer wrapping from unraveling.

  1. Good morning, Pat! Woke up at 3:30 am again….ah, well, it is what it is….and discovered that Wheezer is apparently picky about which pillows he will sleep on. Late yesterday, I went outside to sit on the patio for a while to peruse the results of my hard work (and note what still needed to be done) and added a cushion for my skinny butt. I went out again later and also got the NW flower bed weeded – it was in terrible shape! The place is starting to come together and look inhabited again…..

    This morning, I found Wheezer on a different chair, straddling a plastic cleaning tool on top of a small rug that I know the dogs slept on – he apparently didn’t like that cushion….smh. Picky little asshole!!!

    U.S. — CNN took time out of its broadcast today to mark the one-year anniversary of the time President Trump fell over at a rally after some loud popping noises.

    “The nation will always remember the startling images of Trump falling over and hitting his ear,” said Anderson Cooper. “The big oaf just tumbled over, surprised as he was by some innocuous popping sounds. While we have never confirmed what the noises were, or how Trump got a cut on his ear, the day will go down in history nonetheless.”

    CNN displayed several iconic images that came out of that day, such as Trump standing up to yell ‘Fight’, presumably against slippery rally stages. “Many Republicans tried to turn the event into a condemnation of violent political rhetoric, but those people are evil and need to go to re-education camps,” said Cooper. “Now let’s watch Trump fall down again, the silly buffoon.”

    At publishing time, the Secret Service had announced that the female agent had finally succeeded in holstering her weapon.

    WACO, TX — Famed HGTV stars Chip and Joanna Gaines announced today that their “Magnolia” company would be introducing a line of rainbow shiplap.

    According to Gaines, the shiplap will add “just a little bit of gayness” to customers’ homes while simultaneously assuring visitors that you’re not one of those Christians.

    “It’s HOMO DAY!!” shouted Chip Gaines as he unveiled the rainbow shiplap. “Oh man, homo day is my favorite day of any project. Time to get out those power tools and just get a little fruity, you know what I’m saying? There’s nothing like putting on showtunes, busting out of the closet, and throwing up some of this shiplap. Wooo!”

    The rainbow shiplap represents the Gaines’ latest efforts to make their company more gay-friendly. “We’re all in on the homos,” stated Gaines. “Simply doing interior decorating wasn’t gay enough — we wanted to make sure everyone knew we’re past those vaguely Christian background moments in our show. We super love the homo community and hope everyone adds a HOMO DAY to their fixer-upper.”

    At publishing time, residents of Waco had reported that someone around town kept shouting “Iiiiit’s HOMO DAY!” repeatedly.

  8. “Malfunction As Animatronic Trump Keeps Rounding Up All The Mexican Guests And Deporting Them From Disney World”

    Image for article: Malfunction As Animatronic Trump Keeps Rounding Up All The Mexican Guests And Deporting Them From Disney World

    ORLANDO, FL — What began as a normal day at the Magic Kingdom descended into a near-riot atmosphere, as — due to a malfunction — The Hall of Presidents’ animatronic Donald Trump kept rounding up all of the Mexican guests and attempting to deport them from Disney World.

    The incident reportedly began late this morning, as tourists said the robotic Trump began to make forceful statements about foreign guests and ordering them to leave the park voluntarily or face the consequences.

    “We’ve lost control of him! Everyone get clear!” shouted one of the park’s technicians. “We made him too much like the real Trump, and now he wants to round up all of the foreign-born visitors and deport them. We advise all Mexican guests to remove their sombreros to try to blend in with the rest of the audience.”

    Despite the best efforts of the staff, the animatronic Trump continued to deviate from its pre-programmed speech script. “Those who do not self-deport from the park will be subject to arrest and detention by ICE,” the robot said. “We will deport Mexican guests and MAKE DISNEY WORLD GREAT AGAIN! Thank you for your attention in this matter!”

    The robot refused to obey orders from on-site Imagineers who tried to keep it at bay. “He’s too true to life,” one source said. “Even his animatronic counterpart is too much of an alpha male to be controlled by anyone.”

    At publishing time, the animatronic Trump had pledged to build a “bigger, more beautiful wall” around Disney World to keep foreigners out.

    From the article:

    It was revealed that Joe Biden did not approve of each name for the pardons – AND after changes were made about the specific inmates, Biden did NOT sign off on the revised list. Rather, his aides just ran the final version through the autopen without Biden’s approval. 

    “Mr. Biden did not individually approve each name for the categorical pardons that applied to large numbers of people, he and aides confirmed. Rather, after extensive discussion of different possible criteria, he signed off on the standards he wanted to be used to determine which convicts would qualify for a reduction in sentence,” The New York Times reported.

    I don’t think telling aides what standards to use so they could decide about the pardons is how it’s supposed to be done. I’d like to know what the next steps will be.

  17. “A Glimpse from an Alternate Universe: Where kids and families yearn for reality, not technology”

    Sharyl Attkisson, Jul 14, 2025

    “Imagine a world, not so far from our own, where children grow up forcibly tethered to screens. In this alternate universe, the default is digital. Kids are told from birth that the world outside is “unsafe”—a vague, theoretical danger lurking in the air, in touch, in presence.

    Their friends exist as pixelated faces on phones and laptops. Sports? Only through the twitch of a controller, skiing down virtual slopes or tackling opponents in a digital football arena. Dating? A swipe on a screen, a heart emoji, a carefully curated avatar. Schools are sterile Zoom grids, and “outside” is a forbidden word, replaced by the hum of devices and the glow of LED screens. Fresh air? That’s what air purifiers are for. Touch? Too risky. Life is lived through a keyboard, a headset, a virtual reality rig.

    In this world, kids dream not of new apps or faster Wi-Fi, but of something radical. Something whispered about in hushed tones: reality. They yearn to feel the crunch of snow under their boots, to high-five a friend without a lag, to smell the piney breeze on a forest trail. But it’s forbidden, locked away by the rules of a society that prizes “safety” above all else.

    Then, one day, a maverick inventor unveils a miracle: a way to make the world safe. A breakthrough—let’s call it the “Freedom Protocol”—neutralizes the mysterious threat.

    Suddenly, kids can step outside, touch the world, live in it. The news spreads like wildfire across their digital feeds. They gather in virtual chatrooms, wide-eyed, typing furiously: “Wait, you mean I can actually ski down a mountain? With my own legs?” “I can hug my best friend? Like, feel the actual warmth of the sun?” “I can ride a roller coaster, feel the wind whip my hair, scream with my own voice?” “I can kick a real soccer ball, not just mash buttons?”

    The world erupts in wonder!

    Kids ditch their smartphones, their VR headsets, their laptops—relics of a suffocating past. They flood the streets, laughing, running, tumbling into grass that’s softer than any pixel could render. They join pickup basketball games, skin scraping real pavement. They climb trees, scrape knees, and discover the electric thrill of a first handshake, a first dance, a first splash in a real lake.

    Schools open as bustling hubs of chaos and chatter, not silent grids of faces on screens. The air smells alive—earthy, crisp, unfiltered. Technology, once their only window to the world, gathers dust in forgotten corners.

    In this universe, kids and their parents don’t see screens as progress. They see them as prison bars. The allure of “connection” through devices pales against the raw, messy joy of a real-world tackle, a shared laugh, a sunset you don’t need a filter to love. They ask their parents, incredulous, “Why did you think screens were better? Why was this—living, touching, breathing—considered dangerous?” The adults shrug, mumbling about safety protocols and old fears, but the kids just run faster, climb higher, live louder.

    Thought of the Day: If screens were the default, the original cage, kids wouldn’t worship them as progress—they’d beg to break free. In our world, we call virtual connection a “technological advance,” but maybe it’s backwards. Maybe the real marvel is the crunch of leaves underfoot, the warmth of a friend’s hand, the ache of muscles after a real game. What if we’re the ones in the alternate universe, seduced by screens, forgetting that the truest connection is the one we can touch? Let’s step outside and remember.”

  24. “Is mass immigration leading to the death of Germany’s breweries? German breweries are struggling as beer sales hit historic lows”

    ReMIX, Thomas Brooke, July 11, 2025

    ENTIRE ARTICLE: “Beer consumption in Germany has dropped to its lowest level since reunification, prompting concerns about the future of the country’s brewing industry. According to data from the Federal Statistical Office, German breweries sold 34.5 million hectoliters of beer between January and May 2025. This marks a decrease of nearly 7 percent compared to the same period last year.

    The decline continues a long-term trend, with consumption falling consistently over the past decade. In 2013, Germans drank an average of 107 liters of beer per person annually. By 2023, that figure had dropped to 88 liters.

    Industry leaders warn that the current drop poses a serious threat to breweries. Volker Kuhl, CEO of the Veltins brewery, told Welt newspaper, “This is a historic fact. It’s worrying and means a real struggle for survival for many breweries.” Germany currently has around 1,500 breweries, but this figure could drop drastically over the next decade.

    “Lots of sun, warm, and dry — the weather in the first half of the year should have helped brewers and the restaurant industry. But it didn’t,” he noted. “As with the restaurant and retail sectors, the poor consumer sentiment is having a major impact on breweries’ business,” added Holger Eichele, CEO of the German Brewers’ Association.

    Even large-scale events such as the 2024 European Football Championship, which had been expected to boost sales, failed to reverse the decline.

    Eichele suggests that health concerns and an aging population are major factors behind the shift in drinking habits. He notes that young people are drinking less as well, supported by a 2023 Statista survey that found just 24 percent of Germans aged 18 to 28 regularly drink beer, compared to 38 percent of the previous generation.

    Industry leaders make no note, however, of the changing demographic in the country due to mass immigration. Among people aged 20 to 39, more than one in three (34 percent) had a migration background in 2024. Among children, that figure is even higher. In 2021, the percentage of school children in Hamburg who have a migration background surpassed half (51.4 percent) for the first time.

    Nearly 6.5 million people living in Germany in 2024 immigrated after 2015, many of whom arrived from predominantly Muslim nations where alcohol consumption is actively discouraged or considered haram.

    Brewers say traditional drinking customs are fading. Veltins sales director Rainer Emig told Welt that while beer with meals remains common, people are no longer drinking additional rounds during social events.

    Non-alcoholic beer sales have increased sharply, but not enough to arrest the slide. Deutsche Welle reported that production of alcohol-free beer in Germany has more than doubled in the past decade. However, attempts to replace traditional beer culture with alcohol-free alternatives have had limited success. In 2023, Munich’s first alcohol-free beer garden, Die Null, opened but closed at the end of the summer and did not reopen.”

  25. EXCERPT: “The Pentagon has pulled roughly a dozen high-ranking U.S. military officials who had been slated to participate in this week’s annual Aspen Security Forum, Just the News has learned. The Defense Department cited the left-wing nature of the Aspen Institute and the participation of such critics of President Trump as Biden administration National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan.

    The annual forum put on by the Aspen Institute – which has been dubbed “the mountain retreat for the liberal elite” – describes the event as “the premier national security and foreign policy conference in the United States.”

    Roughly a dozen top Defense Department officials – including the secretary of the Navy and the commander of U.S. Indo-Pacific Command – are still listed as speakers on the Aspen Security Forum agenda this week, but a source told Just the News over the weekend that that will no longer happen.

    “The Department of Defense has no interest in legitimizing an organization that has invited former officials who have been the architects of chaos abroad and failure at home,” Pentagon press secretary Kingsley Wilson told Just the News.

    “They are antithetical to the America First values of this administration. Senior representatives of the Department of Defense will no longer be participating in an event that promotes the evil of globalism, disdain for our great country, and hatred for the President of the United States,” Wilson also said.

    Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said at Turning Point USA’s Student Action Summit this weekend that his agency under Democratic Presidents Barack Obama and Joe Biden was “distracted by experiments” in left-wing ideology and that “from day one, we have declared that [Diversity, Equity and Inclusion initiatives are] dead at DoD,” calling it a “back-to-basics moment.”

    The Institute receives funding from left-leaning donors, stacks its commissions with anti-Trump activists, and has been linked to a series of events which Republicans say contributed to the censorship of the Hunter Biden laptop stories in October 2020, critics say.

    The Capital Research Center, a right-leaning think tank, stated that in 2022, the group spent $95,042,121 on public policy programs “addressing issues including economic distress, educational opportunity, environmentalism, and the left-wing concept of racial justice,” according to the center’s Influence Watch project.

    The annual security forum is organized by the Aspen Strategy Group, which is part of the larger institute. The group is co-chaired by former Secretary of State and National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice, as part of the Republican Bush administration, and Biden’s former ambassador to China, Nicholas Burns.

    The forum’s agenda shows that the capstone event at the end of the week will feature a panel discussion among Rice, Sullivan former Defense Secretary Robert Gates…..”

  29. “Voyager 1, the farthest human-made object from Earth, just got a second wind thanks to some clever work from NASA engineers. Launched in 1977, the spacecraft is now over 15 billion miles away. After 47 years in space, its aging thrusters—vital for keeping the craft pointed toward Earth—had nearly failed. Without a working system to stay properly oriented, Voyager 1 would eventually lose communication, especially with a planned upgrade to the Earth-based antenna that sends and receives commands. But in a surprising turn, NASA managed to bring its dormant backup thrusters back to life after more than two decades of silence.

    The backup thrusters had been in use since 2004, when the main ones became unusable due to broken heater circuits needed to warm the fuel. Over time, even the backups started clogging with residue. This threatened the spacecraft’s ability to stay aligned with a reference star it uses to maintain communication with Earth. Just when things looked grim, engineers at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory performed a near-miraculous fix, reviving the long-inactive thrusters and extending Voyager 1’s lifespan through at least next year.

    This rescue buys time to continue gathering valuable data from interstellar space, where Voyager 1 has been traveling since leaving the Sun’s protective bubble in 2012. With this fix, a little piece of Earth keeps pushing further into the cosmos.”

  36. “How the Epstein Debacle Has Overshadowed Historic Success at the DOJ — The hollowing out of the 100,000+ workforce of the Department of Justice is drowned out by a cacophony of discord, demands, and empty promises over the “Epstein files.”

    Julie Kelly, Jul 14, 2025

    ENTIRE ARTICLE: “As I reported on X on Sunday, it appears Attorney General Pamela Bondi and FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino have agreed to a truce. Bongino was prepared to imminently resign over Bondi’s botched handling of the Jeffrey Epstein matter; President Trump told reporters on Sunday he had spoken with Bongino and indicated his longtime friend was “in good shape” without any plans to depart soon.

    If true, the development represents good news since the clash of wills pitted the White House against some of the president’s most loyal influencers, prompting one of the biggest political crises in the administration to date. Trump appears to have successfully calmed the waters both behind the scenes and online.

    Unfortunately, not only did the Epstein matter create deep division in MAGAland, fixation on the topic sucked the oxygen out of the media sphere related to significant achievements within the Department of Justice. Bondi and her team continue to clean house at the systemically corrupt department as longtime employees are either fired or leave voluntarily amid “differences” with the president’s policies. The most recent purge includes members of Special Counsel Jack Smith’s team, J6 prosecutors, and the spokeswoman at the most powerful U.S. Attorney’s office in the country.

    But rather than take their well-deserved firings on the chin like grown ups, self-proclaimed “victims” of the personnel wrecking ball emote on social media or to slavish reporters proving that DOJ employees are a partisan, sanctimonious, and downright annoying bunch of humans.Poor Poor Pitiful Me, Part 1,306

    For example, Bondi last week fired Joseph Tirrell, head of the DOJ’s ethics office. (LOL). Tirrell, according to Bloomberg News, is “a career attorney who’d spent nearly 20 years at the department,” meaning Bondi was stuck with him until the DOJ could find a reason to terminate. No details are available as to why Tirrell finally got the boot but he reportedly did, among other things, oversee Special Counsel Jack Smith’s operation.

    Last February, Tirrell reviewed Smith’s last disclosure report, which revealed the special counsel had received $140,000 in pro bono legal advice after the 2024 election. (The president promised to investigate Smith, who handed down two criminal federal indictments against Trump in 2023.)

    It’s unclear whether Tirrell approved that free legal work, flagged any excessive expenditures—the special counsel’s office spent roughly $50 million in a little over a year—or identified any conflict of interests within the office. But instead of simply updating his resume, Tirrell followed in the light-in-the-loafers footsteps of his former colleagues by penning a tale of woe on social media.

    Patricia Hartman, the longtime spokeswoman at the D.C. U.S. Attorney’s office, went straight to CBS News last week to bitch about her invitation to the unemployment line. Hartman, no doubt at the direction of Biden appointee Matthew Graves, spent four years churning out daily press releases to boast about the Biden DOJ’s success in the politically-motivated January 6 investigation.

    Hartman even issued press releases on the misdemeanor cases against Trump confidants Steve Bannon and Peter Navarro; U.S attorney’s offices rarely pursue federal misdemeanors and certainly never brag about it in press releases if they do.

    Nonetheless, Hartman portrayed herself as the victim of a political operation rather than the devoted mouthpiece of one: (Video)

    Hartman is the only J6 propagandist to hit the streets. Following an immediate expulsion of J6 and Jack Smith prosecutors back in late January, the DOJ is back to the chopping block in both matters.

    Bondi just fired at least 20 lawyers and staffers assigned to Smith’s team bringing the total number of scalps to 37. (Smith resigned on January 10.) At least three prosecutors who handled high-profile J6 cases also got the ax this month with more to come, according to my own sources.

    Voluntary Self Deportation

    Many DOJ employees are leaving voluntarily rather than anxiously refresh their email inbox for a message with the subject line, “Notice of Removal From Federal Service.” Dozens of employees working at the DOJ unit responsible for defending the administration against a nonstop deluge of lawsuits have resigned, according to a Reuters analysis this month. Prosecutors complained of a heavy workload–boo hoo!–and ideological differences with the new boss.

    “Many of these people came to work at Federal Programs to defend aspects of our constitutional system. How could they participate in the project of tearing it down?” one lawyer who recently quit told Reuters.

    A similar exodus is underway at the DOJ’s civil rights division where nearly 70 percent of the division’s attorneys have headed for the exits rather than work for Harmeet Dhillon, the president’s pick to run the office. Apparently the totally nonpolitical lawyers object to doing things like keeping boys out of girls’ sports, protecting children from surgical mutilation, and combating religious bias—just a few of Dhillon’s stated objectives.

    All of this comes on top of months of success in identifying and firing known partisans at both the DOJ and FBI, an historic purge with no signs of stopping. The moves are “creating rampant speculation and fear within the workforce over who might be terminated next,” former staffers told the Washington Post.

    Which should be sweet music to the collective ears of Trump supporters. Unfortunately, this good news is being silenced by a cacophony of discord and demands in the Epstein case—something the enemies of MAGA are enjoying all too much.”

                my flea market friend has a gigantic bin of things that she sells for 25 cents! anything in the bin for a quarter. she told me you wouldn’t believe the number of people that come every week to see if there’s new stuff in there. I save anything that isn’t broken or damaged in any way–she sells it all.
