I'd love to have a couple. There were some gorgeous ones at the LFS a couple weeks ago. Very healthy looking and excellent colour. Alas, the SO won't allow another tank. :(

I hate that. What do you mean won't allow? lol
I'd love to see Byron try and tell me I can't have another tank. ROFL

I think it would be different if I were the girl.. then I could just get upset and get my way, or put on the pouty face and get my way, or.... you get the picture :lol:

My pouty face is damn cute, but it doesn't seem to have the same effect... :shrug:

Hehe, she's actually really good about the tanks. She has her own 10g with platies (even though I basically take care of it most of the time), and we got her mom a dwarf puffer, and she loves my GSP, AND we're thinking about getting a 30g cube to replace the 10g. so all in all, it's pretty good. She just keeps me from going crazy and getting WAY too many tanks. :p

I am glad you (someone) said this...I was thinking the same thing, but the comment didn't seem PC...
but then again my pouty face is probably not as cute :19:

That's cool Phaedrus, perhaps having a 'voice of reason' is a good thing!

As for the girl bit, while I may have a cool pouty face, I rarely use it. He just knows how stubborn I am, and that I sincerely would laugh if he attempted to tell me how to spend my money. That said, if I was shirking other financial obligations....

I bet I have a pretty cute pouty face lol.

I don't know if I have ever actually used it though. I don't get mad often lol.

and yes, girls are very good at getting their way! :lol: I'm not sure why it works for them but not us...
