Worst Chores Ever (and animals too!)

[Salanewt]

I know that, about catfish. Some species don't grow to be too big, but I guess that one was a different species from what I am used to. The most that I have met lately were two owl chicks and an orphaned baby rabbit. Really cute things they were, but I think one of the owl chicks was eaten a few days later.

And... yeah, I think we are starting to get off topic a bit too much.

[Rolina]

Yeah, down here, catfish are in no way small.  The ones I'm used to make great meals for the family.

i actually caught a cqtfish that only grew 8 inches long. i kept it in my fishtank. i was so tiny. but we are off subject but this is open discussion. let the conversation flow where it may.

[zman9000]

yeah I'm not sure but how did this end up a just say whatever topic?
we were still talking about chores, and about the pets that said chore revolves around.

[dwkjohn]

yeah. chores > pet chores > pets > animals. what next?

ummmm.... the new name sounds like its saying worst chores and worst animals. we should probably just take the "worst" out. just sayin'.

[Rolina]

We could change the direction of the topic to be a discussion about what the topic is about.

[dwkjohn]

Ok. Today I had to haul 6 wheel-barrel loads of leaf mulch half a mile for our flower bed. And had to bottle about 150 honey bears, 175 pints, and 100 quarts to sell at farmers markets and certain stores.

[Rolina]

...Six wheel-barrels... of Leaf...

I hope he enjoyed the ride.  What a slave driver leaf is.

[dwkjohn]

that is the funniest thing. partly because I am tired and didn't expect it but heeheheehehehheheheheh.

edit: yesterday, I had to haul 2592 8 oz. jars of honey up two flights of stairs. whew. tiring.

[Shinigami]

Uhhh... That's over 735 Kilograms... How many trips did you have to do to get that finished? (guess around 15?)
Oh, wait... Is that 2592 point 8oz (73.5 Kg, probably more likely)) or 25928oz?

[dwkjohn]

no. 8 oz. jars of honey. there were 2592 jars. and it took me around 55 trips. I could only carry 5 at a time before I got tired and carried 4 which was pretty early on. so 2592×8= ... ? I'm to lazy to multiply that but you get the idea.

[Shinigami]

Well... that was really stupid of me...
Sorry, I should really think carefully before posting.

[dwkjohn]

Its not your fault. I see where you were coming from. I should have been more clear.

So guys, the worst chore right now for me probably is taking care of my sick mother.

"Le gasp! You don't even want to care of your mother and her sickness?! You horrible unloving fiend!"

Well, it's not that. I don't mind going to the store, buying her groceries, or taking her to the doctor's office... it's just the fact that she has a horrible case of strep, and "taking care" of her also includes just sitting with her watching boring tv shows. I kept trying to tell her that this isn't a good idea at all but I think it might be too late xP

[Salanewt]

Sick mother, oh boy; I know what that is like. Still, taking care of her when she is sick is a nice thing for you to do. It might be best for her to go outside, but that also depends on how much traffic there is.

I think my chores are going to be a bit lighter than they were last summer, as I no longer need Community Service hours for school. Of course, I have been entertaining young children who like to say the word "frustrating", cutting the grass of people with broken backs, and collecting buckets of rocks. School is out now, so I have more time to fit in the odd chore if necessary.

[dwkjohn]

you don't have to hve service hours? lucky. I need 300. I have about 150 this summer. I have to dig more tomorrow.

@Charon: I hope she gets better.
