Worst Chores Ever (and animals too!)

[Charon]

Do you do that as a job or do your parents actually make you go do that? :/

[dwkjohn]

I wish i got paid. And i have to pay $10 for every one i don't find cause "they're expensive!" Pbhththth to that.

[Rolina]

...This makes me think it's your fault they're down there in the first place, john.

[dwkjohn]

Actually its not. Last year we had a huge algae problem where it filled the whole lake, literally all the way to the bottom. I was the one who raked it out. This year my parents had the great idea to put barley straw in bags with cinder blocks tied to them around the pond. The straw was supposed to decompose and release a natural chemical that inhibits algae growth. It worked but the bags broke free of the blocks and I have to find them.

what the hell? so... what now? I'm sorry but your parrents suck...
If mine did that to me I'd just leave, even if i didn't have any money...

[dwkjohn]

Tomorrow, i have to dig out a part of our gravel driveway to put down sand, bricks, more sand, and flat rocks to make a place  for my mom  to back under the overhang next to the garage.

[Charon]

O.o do you live in the country or something? :/

[dwkjohn]

Far out there. My town has a family run gas station, family run bar-b-q, family run grocery, family run  hardware store, and a dollar general. Also, it takes almost an hour to get to any other town.

[zman9000]

damn... I respect you man. to me that sounds like a chore just living out there...

[dwkjohn]

Nah. Its pretty nice not having a highway full .tof traffic sniffin at your @#$. No clumped houses. 5+ acre lots. I like it.

Eeeh... city girl for life I guess.

Eeeh... city girl for life I guess.

Hmmm. I think where i live is to much city. I'm working towards a one way ticket back home to east TN. Ahhh the mountains.

[Charon]

Hahaha, I actually (although vaguely) preferred living in the city than in suburbia. Then again I've lived in only two places my whole life... so lol.

The most in terms of outdoor chores I ever have to do is shovel the driveway, weedwhack... and... er... take care of the dog =_=

[dwkjohn]

Wow. Its sad to say, but i have to get up every morning and feed our 38 chickens, 2 geese, 3 turkeys, 7 ducks, 3 dogs, and 4 cats. Whew! I also just finished training two of our baby chicks to sit on my shoulder like a parrot. I wonder if i can make them talk? Hmmm.

[Charon]

D:

I WANT A PET CHICKEN

[dwkjohn]

Feel free to take one of ours. God knows we have too many. Oh and the funny thing is that one of the babies have a deformed foot, its sideways instead of forwards, but its a rooster. Haha. Poor depressed rooster with low self esteem.

Wow, lucky. We lived in 6 different places since I was born. One of the moves was from Germany to England. [/offtopic]
The worst chore I have to do is doing the washing up.
< Now considers < to be lucky in comparison with ^.

[dwkjohn]

It pisses me off when i go to a friends house and his mom tells him to run the dishwasher. Then hes like "but mom!" And then all he does is close it and push start because his mom had already loaded it.  stupid stupid stupid! I do all of ours by hand. we don't have a dishwasher.

[Shinigami]

I do all of ours by hand. we don't have a dishwasher.

^That. Some people don't realise how lucky they are.
But then, I usually get stuck with doing the drying up and putting away, so it's not that bad for me.

Lol, same here. I remember cleaning the dishes by hand when ours broke down (it was over 6 months before we got a new one). Omahgawd it pissed me off when kids in class considered "running the dishwasher" a "chore". ew
