Spamfunet Nanny Forum

After reading the question I posted about 'who would you want on the deserted island with you' I am prompted to move the commune that was going to be near Linkoping to a small deserted island, yet to be named. It has mountains that get some snow in winter time but the weather is very mild all year round. There are definite seasons though and all kinds of weather from fog and rain to snow to beautful sunshiney days. (Just a bit of background on our island.) It also has a wide variety of plants and animal life.
Everyone that moves to the island will share in the daily household chores: cleaning, cooking, gardening, and any other general upkeep issues. Everyone also gets their own room unless they want to share with someone else and of course family members are welcome. (Plus unlimited internet connection that no matter how many users are sharing it it never slows down.) There will be a tribal council to ensure that things run smoothly (and it won't be like the tv show "Survivor".)
If this sounds like a place you'd like to move to I'd like to know what special ability you'd like to contribute to the commune. I'll jump the gun on Lore here and say that she could paint and draw and provide the commune with beautiful artwork.
So drop a line here and tell us your special ability (and nothing X rated, not even R rated!). I'll try and think of what mine will be beyond spamming and creating lots of new spammy topics.
/P

My special ability? Walking among the others to cheer them on and encourage the good work they are doing? I am not much of a 'Gardenperson', if I would do some cleaning someone just might have to do it all over again, because I am truly bad at it, I could cook now and then, but what it would taste like I do not know... so what is left? Encouragement to the others..   :D

define: alcoholic = person who drinks alone.
well since i'm always available for a drink, i'll offer my services to keep that number equal to 0.

also i'm quite good at other things around/in the house.

I will keep people laughing :)

/Snafu :D

My special power is the ability to caper and whee all night long.

And when I'm not surfing the  net, I'd also probably organize treks and expeditions into that mountain.

I could maintain the network. And when I'm not sleeping, eating, or at a PC I could also chop some wood or whatever, but there's a very limited chance for that.
Question: Will it be cold on that island? I heard that Sweden is a pretty cold place. Brrrr. However, some palinka or hot wine could solve that ...

I could probably give some good music (read metal) lessons :twisted:

Otherwise I guess I would be the "thinker" in the society, trying very eagerly to solve the problems of the universe and everythings existence and probably not come up with anything reasonable at all...

If we're talking REAL life here, on a deserted island, I would probably be the one getting into heated, almost hateful, argumentations all the time. My endless stubborness wouldn't help much either... Besides that, I'd be a very loveable person ;)

Yep.  I can shrink or shop, you pick!

I could be the much (or hopefully) needed listener…
I cannot assure you I will remember what you say; my head often wanders about thinking thoughts without me really paying attention (something like that). And I have a great tendency of asking a question right after someone just told me the answer (did I mention the not always really paying attention part?) … Well, anyhow I am a really nice person, just a bit scatterbrained some times… but there is always need for a nice person fluttering about talking before once speak … isn’t it? (Optimistically smile) :D

My specialty would be doing nothing.

I'd build the first brewery.

Gawd bless ye Zyraxes.

Hmm, I guess being an engineer I'd be the one designing the building for the brewery.  That or a nice concrete roadway to the outhouse.

 :lol:

Alright!
With the help of Zyraxes and Longstrider I can fulfill my capacity as the Professional Drinker!!
Every community needs at least one of those - someone to sample libations and quote Jimmy Buffet.
 :D

I'd probably bring with me few kilos of weed and watch you doing all the work while I smoke it .   :mrgreen:

It took me a while to post something here, because I honestly couldnt come up with a single thing that singles me out. But since im a nurse...ill pack a little emergency kit and throw on bandaids when needed and encourage lots of fluids to hungover mudders :D Not much, but maybe enough to slip in the gates...

I would build a shopping mall next to the brewery so that mudders can fulfill their shopping urges (surely it cant just be me thats addicted to buying shoes??).

Also, within the mall would be some great bars and cafes etc. for us to hang out in and relax.

As an added bonus, the mall would be environmentally friendly and run off of solar power etc. That way we wouldnt exhaust our resources and could stay there forever.  :D

P.S. Can I bring Stuart Townsend please Poogus?  :P

I'd bring my gf and we'd open a candy shop and an icecream parlour. We'd have a special chocolate section for all the chocolate lovers out there (hmm.... an idea for a new nanny club maybe?)

In the free time, when not mudding, chances are we'd be doing one of the following:
    - teaming up with Snafu and Garetjax to keep you people happy&perky
    - pondering over some great problem ('why did the chicken cross the road' and such :) ) along with Dissectica
   - teaming up with Qwer and troubleshooting problems with the network (troubleshooting with a real gun, obviously  :twisted: )

Forgot to mention, when I'm not on duty and not mudding, I'd like to fish some. I think it's a very relaxing thing to do (haven't done it in the past 13 years).
I have a friend who goes fishing with few guys pretty often, they usually don't catch much but get drunk as hell. :)
