Gosh what's one and two? I think water changes is about the only thing 
that's a chore. And I usually don't mind doing those either, as long as 
the kids don't interrupt me several times and I flood the house again. :)

It's strange how much things change as we learn things. When I was a 
little girl there wasn't a general knowledge of what mercury could do to 
you. If a thermometer broke it is was great fun, we'd play with the 
mercury, put it in a bowl watch it drop and puddle up again. Kind of 
scary stuff to think about now.
