I'd be happy to pull weeds for you! All I have at ALL to do is to read, do Chatterbox, and occasionally play my Wii when I feel like it. But mostly, I just read and do Chatterbox. I want school to start again.

If your mom is anything like my mom, it is my guess that if you ask her for something to do she will give you a long list to keep you busy. If you're so bored you want to do chores, that's my advice.

Yeah, my mom does that too. Except I never do them! :D

Wait, you're so bored you want to do chores? Why don't you ride your bike? Your town is huge! Mine stinks, it's too little. :`( That's one of the reasons I named my town in Animal Crossing after Monroe.

What do you mean 'my town is huge'? It's not! And, well, most of the day my parents are both at work, so I can't really ask them much. And I guess it's not so much pulling weeds I want to do as much as pulling them in NE - I've never been there. Sorry for the confusion.

Thistles aren't just weeds you guys and you
don't pull them. Thistles are pointy and sometimes big. You have to use a spade and go cut them in pastures. If you don't cut them, they will blossom and make seeds. The seeds will spread and make more and more. I bet I work more than any of the people that you guys know that have Nintendos (no offense.) You people that have Nintendos don't deserve them as much as I do. And you don't know what hard work is.

I used to want a DS but then I changed my course for an ipod touch. They both have useful programs, like language software. The ipod has more games and useful apps that are cheaper or free. Some useful things are a gps, language software, books, audiobooks, and so much awsome stuff.Tell your parents about the useful programs on a DS and tell them how it has always been your dream to learn french, and they can't resist agreeing. What's more useful then that?

Who says I haven't weeded? I know what a thistle is. We used to have one in our front garden that was almost as tall as me!

Thistles? I loath them! I live on a dairy farm, and yes I DO know about thistles. If you step on one when they are still small, their prickly little arms poke into your foot and sting you. It HURTS. I don't even think our cows will eat them. Our goats will, I think, but they don't grow in their pasture. I also want a DS, but I would probably never play it. Instead, I ordered a spyglass from amazon. It's so cool! I adore it, and I am always pulling out my handy dandy spyglass and staring inquisitively towards the distant hills. ;)

Hey JFB, I live on a dairy farm too!Well actually we used to have like 55 Jersey cows but we sold 49 and gave 2 to our neighbors/aunt and uncle.Plus we sold one to some other people.Hey, other people, you don't pull weeds, you cut them with a spade.And you're right JFB, cows don't like to eat thistles.

I've weeded before, we just don't have thistles where I live. And I'd heard of them, it's just that the only things I knew about them were that they were sharp and prickly and not well-liked. And I don't have a DS, if you thought I did.
