Wanted: 1 shoe tie-er
Danalana wrote: I can't pay you a whole lot, but I think the look of joy on my face from having my shoes tied is payment enough. Any takers?
P.S. before you decide for sure, please note that I like DOUBLE knots.
Calimama replied:  Isn't that DH's job?
Danalana replied: Unfortunately, he's already gone to work by the time I get up and need to have shoes on. So, you're coming, right?
Hillbilly Housewife replied: I thought everyone could still grab their ankles when they're almost due?!
jeez, I really am "superfreak"
Dh is a computer engineer. I'll have him draw up some plans for a robot.
Calimama replied:
LOL sure, I'll bring Miabella so you can brush up on your diaper changing skills all day. 
Danalana replied:
Oh, I CAN. I just don't WANT to.
And Denise, I'm already pretty good at diaper-changing...it's DH that doesn't have a clue.
gr33n3y3z replied: Well who lives the closest?
I'm in S. NJ
Hillbilly Housewife replied:
i'm in canada. In an igloo. With my tuque and my pet polar bear.
Danalana replied: Rocky, I think that means you win!!
I will send you a copy of my made-up daily schedule in a couple of hours.
And I think the problem is that I try to put them on when I'm sittin..maybe I should try standing. but we can work on that when you get here, Rocky 
A&A'smommy replied: Well I guess I'm the closest since I only live like 2 hours away so I will come and tie your shoes and then you can tie mine, OK!?
Hillbilly Housewife replied:
no no no.
*I* won.
Booya!
Danalana replied: Okay!
But I know Rocky is going to be so bummed now...
EDIT: Dang you and your fast fingers, Rocky!
Hillbilly Housewife replied: yup...that's what happens when you have WAYYYYYY too much time on your hands. You get fast fingers.
fastest in the west..erm..north.
Hillbilly Housewife replied: Gotta keep em moving you know... so I don't get frostbite...geesh ppl
Danalana replied: Where do you go to the bathroom? You can't have plumbing in there, can you?
Or is it electricity and heat that you can't have?
Hillbilly Housewife replied:
In my shower, duh.....
we have a little fire pit in the "living room" section. It's fantastic... but luckily we have those moose carcasses to keep us warm
Obviously I have electricity. I'm online, aren't I? 
A&A'smommy replied: geez rocky!!! okay so if you come all the way here to tie her shoes you have to drive and extra two hours and tie mine too!!!
Danalana replied:  But do you poo in the shower too? 
I forgot about the being online thing...I should have known you have electricity! Too bad you can't have heat. I hope the fire pit doesn't melt your house!
And Jessica, are you trying to steal the help away from me?
Hillbilly Housewife replied: oh come on now, stop fighting over me. I know i'm cute and all...but...
plus, I don't drive. I'd have to hop on my dog sled. Hmm. I wonder if it will work as well on paved roads?
A&A'smommy replied:
no not trying to steal her I will send her back 
um dog sled?? on paved roads.. 
Hillbilly Housewife replied:
Well no, that goes in my crabuckit so I can mix it will all my genetically enhanced food scraps to make some sort of super mulch for my plants. Geez don't you guys know anything?
Danalana replied: I think it works on regular roads....if not, there are plenty of horses along the way down here.
OH! You're gonna need snow for the sled dogs, aren't you? better get one of those horses WAY before you get to Alabama.
Danalana replied:
Oooooooh....well, I don't know the ways of you Canadians, yet.
Hillbilly Housewife replied:
I don't know. I know the dogs will be fine... but it's the sled i'm worried about. Those babies are ex-pen-sive!!
Um.... think you can handle the cost of dog food for 9 huge huskies? They really like placenta.
Danalana replied: Well, I will try to give them some. But I think Ed was wanting about 3 cups, so it's gonna be a tight squeeze...
Hillbilly Housewife replied: Oh........ the dogs will be dissapointed. Maybe I'll bring along some bear meat for them. They'll love that, once they get done with the seal sausages.
Danalana replied: Yeah yeah....but can you tie my shoes in double knots?
Hillbilly Housewife replied:
Hmm. I'm not sure actually... I ahven't tied shoes in..well..ever actually. We wear mocassins and snowshoes.
Danalana replied: Well, you could just bring me some moccasins...that would solve my problem altogether!
Hillbilly Housewife replied:
Sweet! Do you want deer skin or bunny?
I'm a huge fan of the bunny ones. Soo soft.
Hillbilly Housewife replied: Oh unless you want mukluks... those are good for walking in snow that isn't waist high
Danalana replied: Bunny is fine!
I have one more favor to ask. Could you make some poutine when you get here? I have heard it's so good, and it sounds like stuff I like. Thanks in advance!
Danalana replied:
Mukluks sound good. And our snow definitely isn't waist-high. In fact, it's pretend snow.
Hillbilly Housewife replied: Sure...although it's soooo easy, you could easily make it yourself.
Just grab a bunch of hot fries... the more grease the better... put them in a bowl... add a huge amount of curd cheese on them......... and smother it all with some brown gravy, like maybe some KFC gravy or something.
You sure you want bunny? Mukluks are pretty comparable to Uggs....
anyway, whatever. White, tan or mixed colors for the bunny? They may not match perfectly..
Danalana replied:
I'd like tan for my left foot, and mixed for my right.
Hillbilly Housewife replied: I'll set my traps tonight, and see what I come up with.
Danalana replied: It'll be easy...mark "tan" on one and "mixed" on the other.
Hillbilly Housewife replied:
well bunnies can't read silly....only reindeer. They need to be able to read the road maps for Santa. Again, with the ignorance...... 
Hillbilly Housewife replied: But don't worry. Want not waste not. I have plenty of recipes for rabbit stew. It freezes well. Heck is has to... I just have to remember to put it on the stick before I toss the meat outside to freeze. Otherwise, it's a real pain to put on the spit above our firepit. I was so mad the last time I forgot...... 
Danalana replied: Didn't you know that every bunny has a reindeer friend? They take them along, so they can tell which traps to get in.
Danalana replied:
I can't tell you how many time that has happened to me.
Hillbilly Housewife replied: oh you got me there.
I guess you know more about us canucks than I thought....
Guess I won't be able to stock up on meat after all...... 
Danalana replied: That's alright...just bring the moccasins and all will be forgiven.
Hillbilly Housewife replied:
But can't I just fedex them? save the dogs the trip? 
lovemy2 replied: Whoa 
Hillbilly Housewife replied:
no, the term is "heel" when you want them to stop pulling.
Danalana replied:
Oh sure....that's what everybody says 
Hillbilly Housewife replied:
Awww.... don't be lonely..... don't worry... soon you will have your nice gooey ball of placenta to talk to... name it wilson.
Danalana replied: You just don't wanna come because I can't tie my own shoes...
And I already named it "pants".
Hillbilly Housewife replied: I'm just not sure I can tie a double knot.
I can tie a double hitch, a noose, a slipknot, a boombleshank, a horserunner, a snargle, and a hanger... but a double..never really had a use for it. Kinda skipped on that one in Northern Survival 101...
Hillbilly Housewife replied: and "pants" is........ um........cute. yeah, that's it.
Danalana replied: It's what I call my mama....and I love them both!
I guess a snargle will be fine.
Hillbilly Housewife replied: okk... but I need at least a meter's worth of shoelaces...for each shoe
Danalana replied: What a coincidence! I just added a meter on both sides!
Hillbilly Housewife replied: Awesome!! A snagle will look so beautiful too. Very chic. It'll look so much better using a shoe lace than ombilical cords.
Danalana replied: Really?
Cause I was thinking of switching to umbilical cord after baby gets here.
Hillbilly Housewife replied:
hmm... can you refrain from eating it though? It's really sturdy... especially when torn up into thin strands. I use it when i'm hand sewing some deerskin clothing... that is..when I run out of the sinew. I wonder if I still have a few porcupine quills ying around i can fashion into some new needles? my other ones are a little brittle by now.
Danalana replied: Nah, I won't eat it...I don't like tough meat.
Hillbilly Housewife replied: Ok cool. If you have leftovers, can I have them? I can always use good sewing materials.
Danalana replied:
speaking of porcupine, I have to go make supper now!
I'll be back a little later with my made-up daily schedule so you will know how many tmes to tie my shoes.
Danalana replied:
Yeah, I am totally into sharing 
Hillbilly Housewife replied:
Oh I have the BEST recipe for porcupine.
Sweet, I love shedules.
Hillbilly Housewife replied:
Awesome, thanks! How many fish will that cost?
Hillbilly Housewife replied: And here are some porcupine recipes, if anyone cares to try them.

Anthony275 replied: im awesome at tying shoes, i tie fast
gr33n3y3z replied:
Ok I went to The Big Arches for nasty dinner long story hello ummm page one I said who was the closest and what page are you ladies on now 3???? WoW
Danalana replied: Does anybody know how to remove pieces of porcupine quills from your teeth?
Anthony275 replied: brush your teeth?
Danalana replied: I did that already
Anthony275 replied: do it again or dont eat porcupine quills again
Danalana replied: I TOLD dh we needed to remove them first, but he didn't think so.
It was our first porcupine, so you can understand our naivity.
Anthony275 replied: i hope you use toothpicks then
Hillbilly Housewife replied: I hear tough meat can get rid of nasties between your teeth.
Try some placenta? 
Anthony275 replied: mmm afterbirth 
My3LilMonkeys replied: I guess the people on here aren't only crazy at night....
Danalana replied: ^^What are you saying?
Anthony275 replied: she hurt my feelings
My3LilMonkeys replied:
Awww....I'm sorry. I'll send you some placenta in about 8 months to make up for it.
Anthony275 replied: ooh thanks
Danalana replied: I knew that would make him smile!
But what about MY hurt feelings?
Anthony275 replied: your emotions change daily because you're pregnant
Hillbilly Housewife replied: lol
I steph away for 20 minutes and you guys are already fighting.
Children, please.
Danalana replied:
Anthony275 replied: hey im no child
My3LilMonkeys replied:
I'll come tie your shoes. 
Danalana replied: YAY!!!!
Anthony275 replied: why can't you just wear velcro?
Danalana replied: Because I want somebody to take care of me by tying my shoes.
Hillbilly Housewife replied: I'll still come and tie your shoes. Remember? Snargle? ombilical cord?
somebody?
hello?
Anthony275 replied: How do you spell umbilical cord wrong???
Hillbilly Housewife replied: sorry..used to it in french I guess. 
PrairieMom replied: OMG i had a huge problem with this when I was PG. I was huge, but I can't stand how DH ties shoes. It really really bugs me. he would help, but I would be so bothered by it just knowing that they were tied wierd annoyed me.
In child birth class he had to wear a sympathy belly and I got to pick one task for him to do in it, and I picked tying his shoes. He couldn't do it. It was awesome.
MoonMama replied:
Hey where is my pet polar bear! Unfairly!
Wear slip on's. 
And how come I didn't get an invite to your igloo warming party? Or would that be an igloo cooling party?
Ok I am nutty tonight sorry.
Calimama replied:
Or flipflops!!
Hillbilly Housewife replied:
Oh hon........ you haven't been popping placenta pills, have you?
Ok I am so DONE with it!
maybe
for now.....
making me crack up to much. I haven't laughed this hard in a short time in WEEKS.
Danalana replied: I don't like flip-flops in the winter...it will be cold here someday and I want my feet to be WARM.
I think you're all making excuses to not tie my shoes.
Except Rocky.
Hillbilly Housewife replied:
That's right.
Cuz *I* won.
Booya.
Deja vu anyone?
MoonMama replied:
No no no. My husband is now home, and more whiny and more demanding then the baby.
Hillbilly Housewife replied: Oooooh post a pic! PLEEEEEEEEAAASE!
