forced child labor camp

[katfish]

hey you,

no, i'm no turning the topic, though i think you understand my opinion on the matter- i've said enough on that.


The stumps!!! yes!!! how many did u do??  wasn't that a personal intervention?

I also forgot about the fence building, jesus, how could i forget, but I recall a lot of involving the areas outside of MMS- 'volunteer work'.  We didn't build many fences for the school while I was there.

Now I remember the daisy and knap weed picking- jesus, that was tougher that it sounds, right B?  The purpose was... because it was a noxious weed taking over the field.  Is that still a problem over there? I wonder if it was truly meaningless or if we had an impact.

ice picking (damn hard)
rock picking (but I remmeber just taking them out only to put them back- hmmm...)
 

more later

ps- i too also feel like the work i did was pretty incredible, its hard to imagine doing so much work, I've never had to work that hard since- physically and even emotionally (but if only in the sense I had to put myself on the back burner, in  a way, and keep plugging away until i reached the end).  The endurance it took to do that, plus the exercise on top of the work crew, almost seems it took super human strength to endure and survive until the end.

Hey Kat,
Yeah I understand your side of the issue and respect that...as well as you know mine and I hope respect that...


Yeah the stumps were a personal intevention. I actually don't remember how many i did..Member Alexis and I sleeping in the tent in 30 degree weather!!!  hahaha :lol:
That was fun..let me tell you!!!


Oh the Daisys,...That was my first summer there.
Member the Daisy song???!!!  pickin....pickin,...picken them daisys down....
(I think)

It actually did some good. Not as many but they eventually started to grow back but not as bad...you can't tell we have daisys.
God that was alot of field to pick!!!!!!!!!!!


The excercise....wow kat let me tell you. You had it easy..everyday for half an hour it was intense vigorous exercise......
we even had leg day, arm day, Friday was Mile day..., and in between we had our normal daily activity. 2-5 everyday was either a bike ride, hike and or ski. And the weekend was as always workcrew.......Damn can't believe i did that for 3 whole years. Its a wonder i still stand !!!!! hehehe :lol:

lol- alexis said you were full of it, huh?  didn't you hate that?  sometimes i felt student would just say that and it would set u back in the eyes of the staff sometimes, even though it wasn't always true![ This Message was edited by: katfish on 2005-09-11 15:34 ]
