There goes my wisdom

Did you ever wonder what would happen if you flushed a live fish down the toilet?
I never really thought about it before today, but I think it would be cool to put a tracking device on a goldfish and flush him on down. I don’t think it would be too cruel, because goldfish live in the water so they wouldn’t be too far from their natural habitat. Plus, it would be cool to see where all they would go.
I can imagine them rushing down through the pipes and then out into wild underground river of “Sewerville”. Maybe they would end up in the river, maybe they would….never mind, that is getting a little gross to think about. But anyways, my point is, wouldn’t it be cool to see what would happen?
Except that none of that would happen if I flushed a fish down our toilet because we have a septic tank, so it would just end up in a big nasty tank underground. That’s sad.

Now, back to reality. I had a orthodontist appointment today (at least we thought so, but that‘s another story) and Dr. Henry adjusted my evil retainer. It never hurt to wear it before, it was just a nuisance to mess with sometimes. But now it hurts really stinkin’ bad.
I need to get off now, so, I guess I’ll add more to this tomorrow.
Bye!!

And he adds more!!
Okay, so, where was I? Oh yeah, the orthodontist. I had to get X-rays and pictures and stuff done. And when they looked at the X-ray, they gave me some horrible news. I have a wisdom tooth forming in the top left (or is it right?) of my mouth. :( I used to have the wonderful theory that since I didn't have wisdom teeth, they would never have to get pulled, so I would never lose my wisdom. But now, not only do I have to have my wisdom taken away, I only get one part of it to start with.
I think I might just never get it pulled though. Some dentist told my mom a long time ago that she was gonna have to get hers cut out, but they came in just fine. Why won't mine?

We got 20 baby chicks the other day!! They've already goten biggger in the few days that we've had them(makes you wonder what kind of hormones they put in that chicken food, don't it?). We got 15 that are hens and another five that we're not sure about. I think we have 2 or 3 roosters. It'll be nice to get a bunch of eggs again(if we ever did get "a bunch" of eggs before). Several weeks before Lana's graduation, we bought our first batch of chicks. I think we got eleven or some weird number like that(why eleven and not twelve?). But when we had only had them for a few weeks, a dog got in there and killed all but four (which was really sad because those ones were like pets. I even had one of them trained to do some tricks). Eventually, we got some more from different peopkle and I think we had maybe 16 at one time, but one by one the dogs up the street would kill them. Now we only have three grown chickens and one of them is a roostar and the other two are bantams (one of which has only layed one egg since we've had her). But, we have 20 chicks that are rapidly growing and nobody has seen Bull(that evil pit bull) in a week. So we should be in pretty good shape chickenwise in a few months.
I think that's all of the BIG stuff, so, bye again!

Okay, time for a real post. Umm, let’s see. Monday was chemistry class; we “tried” to make long lasting bubbles (not the flaming ones). After that I went to a surprise birthday party for a friend, we had pizza then we played basketball for a several hours.
I hadn’t touched a basketball (at least not with the intention of playing) in months. It was amazing; I still had the touch, I swooshed three threes in a row. My jumping needs some work though, I could only dunk on a nine or nine and a half ft. goal.
After that Mrs. M. took us home and visited with my mom for a little while. While they were talking I thought it was a good time to show my friends our swing. While we were walking over there my neighbor’s pit bull came over and started picking on the littlest friend. (poor kid is scared of dogs anyways). We ran Bull (that’s the pit bulls name) off and proceeded to the swing. Bull came back and we decided to just go back to the house after a few swings, we didn’t feel like messing with the dog.
After the Ms left I had to go lock up animals. I locked up the ducks and got over to the goats and realized that Bull was following me. I locked up the goats really fast (Bull doesn’t get along with the goats really well) and headed over to the chicken coop. While I was walking, Bull started nipping at my shoelaces, so I flicked him on the nose and said “no”. usually that does the trick and he’ll go home, but not this time. He just got mad and grabbed my shoe, squeezing my foot inside, and started pulling me around. Now I don’t know about you, but when a big huge monster dog bites my foot, I smack it on the nose. Well, this didn’t work, it just made him madder. So I made my way over to the gate at the garden so I could get inside the fence, kicked Bull in the head and disappeared in the tall grass. I snuck up to the house and that was all the fun that Bull could have with my foot that night.
A few days later Bull came over and was picking on Josiah, so I got onto him about it and he started barking, it was the meanest bark I had ever heard come from his mouth. So I looked at him and asked if that was supposed to scare me (if it was, he was doing a good job), then I started growling and ran towards him and he ran off with his tail between his legs. Bull doesn’t bother me anymore. Okay, enough of the dog.
Last night was our Christmas party at Riverwalk church (our apartment ministry), lots of kids and a few moms came. It was pretty fun. Dan and Andy played Christmas songs almost the whole time. Luke came to “help out”, I think he came more for Lana though. After it was over Luke and I cleaned up the leftover M and Ms.
I have all my Christmas shopping done, WHOOHOOO!! FIVE DAYS TILL CHRISTMAS!! Okay, I think that’s all.
Btw, I went to the orthodontist this morning and he said I get my braces off in mid Feb!!
