That was the downfall of 6 of my 7 brothers.
See, this is what intrigues me. What rank and which form of timeline are they?
Major Monday?
Corporal Tuesday?
Lieutenant Commander Tomorrow?
Private The Other Day?
I was the only one cool enough for nicknames in my family.

I'm guessing in the larger end of mid-sized then.
…Yea, 10 punds...good sized bunny.
Love the softness of bunny fur, would use one for a pillow if I could.
If I remember correctly all of mine were Hollanders, which were smallish, I would guess about 5-6 lb.

Yeah, and that is large for a Rex, they tend to be about 8-9 I think. The father was enormous!! seriously, if I had not been given papers to prove the sire was purebreed, I would've sworn he had some giant Flemish in him... still, they were good farm rabbits for a small four-h project.

Yea, gotta love those big teddy-bunnies.
*Sigh*
Its the problem of living in a small apartment, with a very strict pet-policy. No non-terrarium/fish-tank pets =(

opposite is true for me.
not allowed a fish-tank, to prevent water damage. also not allowed to have a waterbed.

Kjeldorn, probably will have you fill up a how physically fit are you itinerary when it comes to walking, but since you work in the stables,you should be more or less fine. I learnt that one from Hi's trip.
And also what your interests are when touring Singapore. Like I can bring you to nature ramble like there's no tomorrow, but expect days on your feet in sweltering heat. 80+F

Oh, if I ever got to put my money were my mouth is, I would give you all the details you could need.
If I'm going half-way around the world, it would be prudent to be well prepared ^^'But Yea the heat would probably be my biggest worry…
I would hazard the guess, that as uncomfortable as you are in the cold, as uncomfortable I am in the heat.
Edit: Looked at my initial post...my phone and me should be punished for wtf-autocorrecting and lack of proof-reading
*Sits in the naughty corner, together with his phone*

Hey Nobody, can you pm me the most reliable contact info for Hi?
He's the only reason I was finally able to cook a real dinner for the first time this evening (it took me a couple of days to find my electric skillet). Hi has saved me.
The yard starts getting dug up tomorrow and if all goes well we may have gas for the stove and water heater by Tuesday evening.

I have never noticed that. I will have to pay attention next time I open a soda can.

Nope, definitely don't want to know where they came from.
So, what's the return policy on these, do they just jam them back into the cat's eye socket (does Mort know about this!) or do they make the individual customer do that.

I just cooked Ramen for my Bf and his family! They liked it! I'm so happy!
Other then the noodles and broth,it consisted of 600g of shabu shabu pork collar, some black Fungus, sheets of seaweed, a half boiled egg each and spring onion garnishing. Was supposed to add Enoki Mushrooms but I forgot to buy them.

How did Hi save you by giving you a way to cook dinner? What kind of technological marvel did he Supply?

No returns allowed. The cats don't want them back. They are very satisfied with their replacement eyes (taken from blue whales).

Anyway the full breakdown of the whole thing:
Cooking in other's peoples kitchens is different from your own.
That one, already knew, so I'm not too critical of myself if I don't get everything picture perfect on the first try.
So the eggs I think were a little too cooked for their taste, but again they cracked when I put them in boiling water, despite me lowering them gently in with a soup ladle (usually the tendency is for people to drop the eggs in with bare hands, which results in cracks on the eggs). I think next time I should wait until its almost boiling but not quite, before dropping the eggs in.
The noodles turned out a little bit too soft for my liking, but again I didn't want to serve their family uncooked noodles. Besides usually the portion I cook for myself and my brother is half the amount I cooked today. Increasing the proportion adds additional challenges, like how to get all the noodles out before they turn soggy. (There was too much water in the pot, and the pot was made out of glass), for me to simply just pour the water out like I do at home)
Gripping the shabu shabu out with tongs got tiring, since I'm not used to gripping so much - that's 600 g of shabu shabu I was shabuing. After my fingers started to get tired, and I dropped a piece of shabu, I decided to stick to chopsticks to pull out the shabu shabu.
I'd probably have prepared more black fungus and spring onion, but I was unsure if it was just me and my BF eating or their entire family.
Then his mom started passing me the soba saying that she didn't know what to do with it, so my next cooking project in his house will be soba. Probably with black pepper/terriyaki chicken as a side dish.

* A long, long time ago, I catered a friend's rehearsal dinner, came home soused, and as I was going up the concrete steps to my old apartment, cracked one of the plastic feet of my old electric skillet.
* A slightly less long time ago, Hi noticed the missing foot and offered to try to fix it. He kept it a really long time, and decided he either couldn't or he would just...* Replace it with a brand-new one for my birthday a few years ago. I had a birthday on a game day at Nobody's Home and GothBard's old house, back when the Ersatz Russian and Hi both used to still come to the games. There was a party. I can't remember whether or not this was the party for which Goth Bard made cupcakes decorated in the style of Happy Tree Friends. (If you haven't seen the cartoon, it involves cutesy cartoon bears getting killed in horrible ways. So she cut up gummi bears, impaled their heads on toothpicks or dismembered them, and used clear red gel icing for blood. They were astonishingly fabulous, because that is just how Goth Bard rolls.)
* The new one Hi gave me was twice the size of the my old one (which was a hand-me-down from my grandmother, and ancient) and ever so much nicer. Because that is just how Hi rolls.
So, since my only cooking options at the moment are Hi's electric skillet and a microwave (I got a new bottle of propane for the grill, but we found spider and red wasp nests in it and it needs cleaning out, and I haven't found the box with my crock pot yet), I discovered that you can cook rice in it if you set the dial to 350, and it works perfectly. And after putting the rice in a serving dish and cleaning the skillet out again, I made pineapple chicken with green peppers and allspice. It's one of the few dishes my kids will eat and not complain about.
And then we ate a pie that the Ersatz Russian's wife gave us the morning we left California.
