Are there any snacks, food or candy that are no longer made that you desperately miss?
Now that you mention it, yes: Nabisco Team cereal. As a kid I inhaled the stuff, liked it better than any other brand. When Nabisco sold its cereal brands to Post, apparently, this was the one they decided not to keep. Bastards.
How cute were you as a baby/child? Let's see those baby pics!
Okay.
So, how did [you] do with that weekend goal? No goal? What did you do this weekend?
What's one thing that you'd like to get done this weekend? Is there anything holding you back?
We have to clean all our reptile cages today, owing to a snake-mite infestation we discovered earlier this week. We just finished dosing all the cages with nice organophosphate insecticides, now we bleach all glass, plastic and ceramic effects, bake all wood, dispose of all paper, cardboard and wood chips, and rinse. All 34 cages.
Fortunately, we have the reptile keeper's secret weapon: child labour. Kids -- in this case, the neighbour's son and his friend -- love helping reptile keepers take care of their animals, so long as they get to play with them; and, thanks to them, as I write this we're at the two-thirds point. Without them, we'd be fighting fatigue and my own physical limitations -- our basement flooded earlier this week, and we're already pretty tired after cleaning up after that.
But right now, we only have about 10 cages left to do. Unfortunately, they're the big ones.
