Mary, if you could teach cats to vacuum, you'd be my hero for life!

I'll help with whatever but here are a couple things I can do:I'm enthusiastic. I could get people excited about things. "This fucking outhouse is amazing! Have you tried the outhouse? You have to. You're not gonna believe how great it is!"
Also, I possess an odd sort of backwards optimism that might be good for group morale. (i.e. I hate crowds anyway, I've been looking for a reason to smoke again, and lookit--I have the rest of my life to shop!)
Can we move to California so we don't have to brave the winters without heat?

Why the hell would we all be in Hawaii?
Can't we just tend our chickens and read our pilfered library books and tie Larry to the backyard tree and be happy enough? Why do we have to trek across the country just so you people can have seashell hunting parties?
Hawaii is pretty isolated, as much as I love it there, I'd prefer to be somewhere connected to more places, in this scenario. But I would like to be near the sea, and near some vinyards would be nice, too. I say California, wine country. Fertile ground there for us to grow things, nice weather, wine cellars to scavenge from... :)
Can I try to shoot an apple off of Larry's head with a bow and arrow?
I mean since he's tied up already.
I mean since he's tied up already.
I live on the east coast so I would have had to already be wherever it is. I think we heard about the need to blahbedy blah via GR and all met in California wine country before the apocalypse hit. So we don't have to trek across the country. We're already having a seashell hunting party.
p.s. I'll procreate if we really have to. I don't want to let the entire human race down. But someone has to help me take care of the kids.

I'll do dishes. I don't mind dishes.
Have we just pre-arranged for Gretchen to wind up doing dishes, barefoot and pregnant?
Mod
OMG! Sally, did that really happen?So, as I live in San Diego, I can tell you it's not all desert but some of Northern California is desert as well. But I can also tell you that the long-time thinking is that eventually California is going to fall away into the ocean because of the earthquakes.
I think Colorado would work or maybe North Dakota?
And I can't do anything. I can cook a little and clean. But I'll do anything that does not involve blood and guts (people or animals). I'm a quick learner.
As for books, I'm sure there would be an abandoned library or bookstore near our house. And as we're the only ones left in the world...THEY"RE ALL OURS!!
Sarah Pi wrote: "Have we just pre-arranged for Gretchen to wind up doing dishes, barefoot and pregnant?"Yeah but someone else has to help me take care of them. I'm sure some other people are going to offer to have babies too, right? RIGHT?!? I mean we're the only ones left so we have to make more. I figure, I've already had 2 and they went pretty well. Uneventful, quick deliveries. So better me than someone who might need more medical intervention. The kids have turned out pretty big too, so that should be helpful in a post-apocalyptic world where we need brute strength. But I'm going to need someone who knows about anesthesia or, at the very least, someone who will read up on it very thoroughly. Otherwise, we'll need someone else to make the babies.
I'd be happy to do more to help around the house -- but my hands are tied.
Mod
Larry, I thought Bun was going to do some cloning to let you off the hook? Or do you like being tied up? When you started quoting Charles Dickens I was feeling a little guilty (but not too much). I am currently expecting to receive a summons from Knarik.
I thought the lack of electricity was why we were trying graft-style reproduction. It works for plants...
Mod
Gretchen, you can have ALL the kids. I, personally, am never having kids again (I think it sucks - the bearing part).... also, especially since you can apparently have your way with Larry at any time, since he is tied up to a tree.I will teach my wild dog pack to take care of the childers as well. So they don't run off the side of Mt. Shasta.
Mod
I say it sucks. I will let y'all know how the birthing part goes. This is not as fun as getting all the tattoos i have.Hmmmm... maybe that's sort of an off-topic rant. Sry. Due on the 6th.
The really difficult bit is when they do finally come out, they don't come with an instruction manual.
OK Zen. Anything you say for the next two weeks is excused as far as I'm concerned. You have my sympathy.

Cloning sounds likie an excellent plan. Bur are you sure you want more of me around?
Haha! I'd like a smoothie and a pillow! That rocks!And I will post the tats at some point if you are interested, L.
I'm so glad you think the bearing part is fun, Sally, but I'm with Zen on this one. I won't be having any more babies! Soooooo, how about I help teach and I can take care of the kids that others produce. I love bath and bedtime!
Mod
A bath establishes a bedtime ritual/routine that thoroughly bakes in a sense of safety and security in family life. It helps make confident adults.No, really.
Seriously Sally, you will figure it out in the best way for you and yours. You'll do just great.
Yep. It's gotta be your own way, and your kid will love you for it!

Rannie, you just made me laugh again! Kittens on a vacuum! Hahahaha!!!! :)
Those were the most darling little kittens ever.
I love the one that fell off but still didn't wake up.
If California is going to fall into the ocean, how about we look at western Oregon? It's beautiful, has plenty of water and other resources, and when you get into the Willamette Valley there are plenty of wineries to forage from.There are also a lot of trees to choose from when you're ready to bind Larry to one.
Mod
That's what I was thinking. It's warm.
do we need someone to have visions of the future? i have a lot of dreams so i could provide you with that.i am also reasonably good with a knive so if a good nurse is willing to stand by in case i cut myself and if nobody else is offering i will try and slaughter our food. however, i would like to leave the cutting up and grafting of larry to someone else.
