Not quite! More like giving my wife her daily insulin shot! Like helping my legally blind son with his massage school homework. Like tending our premie 3 year old granddaughter while her parents who are living with us make the necessary visits to the doctors and labs to find out why my son-in-law's legs keep collapsing. Like attending to my church duties. Like helping my daughter with the cooking and housework around here while my wife continues to recover from her chemo and radiation treatments for breast cancer. Like doing our taxes and my divorced daughter's taxes 'cause her EX keeps claiming one of the kids illegally. Like doing most of the family shopping and errands. Like keeping the vehicles running. Like meeting with our financial advisor. Like attending church, birthday parties, weddings, blessings baptisms, ordinations, graduations, hospitals, wakes and funerals (a sister, a brother-in-law, a preemie grandson who only lived 5 days), and, of course, an occasional RAC or Wildlife Board meeting among other things.
And, when I'm not doing things that NEED to be done, I enjoy doing the piles of wildlife research some of you guys keep asking for, but completely ignore or rag on me about when I post it. And, yes, that includes keeping my eye on some specific alfalfa fields that have 200 to 300 deer in them every night all year long, along with 40 of the 100 to 200 deer that live in Parowan which the DWR is supposed to be removing (They had only killed 20 of them as of Sep 6, 2017 which pissed off the Mayor who went to the local newspaper who printed an article titled "Deer causing problems, damage to some Parowan properties". If they've killed 40 of them, I've never noticed. There's as many as there always have been.)
In any case, even watching Blue Bloods, Star Trek, NCIS, and Bull are more important to me than staring at some dead freak animal that probably reduced my opportunity to occasionally get away from the emotional pressures the NEED's require. All in all, I think I'll pass!
