Oh, no! That sucks so bad!

I'm completely at a loss No idea.

that's too bad did they put anything in the bag that might have cause some kind of shock or the water perams were very different?

That is SO very sad reefchik Sorry for your loss, will the pet store do anything to compensate? (or whoever you got it from??) being such a short time, just seems odd.

Well, for me today - I woke up 4 people between 1 and 1:30 a.m. that were NOT my customers I was supposed to be delivering to because (a) the address given was incorrect or (b) they did not leave a porch light on, making it impossible to figure out which house was theirs - or had no visible numbers that I could find. When I did call people to figure out where I was supposed to go for SURE - they were either too drunk to give me accurate help, or too foreign to understand that asking WHICH door I was supposed to go in did not mean 'We're upstairs' is even a relative answer. Repeating that you are upstairs does NOT make ME understand better if I knock on door 1, 2 or 5, since they are ALL ground level and unmarked.

I did, however receive a nice tip in Krispy Kreme Doughnuts (six in a sealed box) and made out with a nice chunk of change. I managed about 16 bucks an hour (not including the cost of the krispy kremes, or the 2 caffinated Monster drinks I bought, I bet probably another $10 if you include doughnuts and drinks).

P.S. Seems like a rough month for relationships; seems like a giant soap opera today!!! I must be a great shoulder to lean on, because everyone is running to me for advice - and I'm trying to listen and not get in the middle, especially when both sides are coming to me for advice!

sorry had to vent a little. Now I can sleep

mmmmm doughnuts

Today, we got our *~*NEW*~* Internet, for WAY cheaper. More than doubled our speed for half the price!!! Unfortunately, our wiring was all fudged up, and the jacks were wired separately (had two seperate lines for phone/net before, bundled them up) And I (YES ME!) re-wired the jacks and it all works

Saved us $200 to have a tech (seriously) unhook the red and green, and hook up the yellow and black. Seriously, I'm underpaid

Go you


I moved my light off my 55 over to my 110 cause my plants werent doing good in that tank. I had a light layin in my closet that I put over my 55, and wow it makes my tank look yellow

Not today but I still have to share I answered a Kijiji ad for 3 free fish tanks, no further details. When I got there, I was in the middle of a fairly calm but obvious domestic! I guess he was taking all these tanks that his friends wanted to ditch, hoping he would find the time to set them up, but he never did. And his wife wanted them gone. It was a package deal, so I had to take them all.
One was an ancient 20g that was on a glass stand...ugliest friggin thing I've ever seen! The second was a 35H that had been painted then partially cleaned off, covered with hard water stains...second ugliest thing I've ever seen The third, however, was a new-ish 55g bow front with a new wood-look stand and glass lid. He said it leaked (slow leak) and his friend wanted it gone, so he took it.
I was terribly disappointed but didn't want to tell them I'd changed my mind, so I brought them home. I put up a free ad and a super nice couple who keeps american grey tree frogs was thrilled to take the 20 and 35. I've had the 55g set up in my garage for 4 days now...NO LEAKS!!! I have to assume he had water wicking up the trim and over...a mistake I've made myself

Good score on the 55 bow front! How much was it?

Today I worked the tank for the most part getting ready for the new Fahaka arriving on Monday (if all goes well).

Woke up at 1:00 am with an asthma attack.. first time I've had one in a long time..

And WWM gave me vendor privilages wee hee!!

It was part of the free-just-get-it-out-of-my-basement deal
Congrats on the Fahaka, I must have missed that!!!!

nice find on the 55.

Just found out that the package ive been waiting for didnt include my apt address. Luckily for me UPS is cool and got in contact with the driver gave him my apt address and he is going to come back and drop of the package a little bit later today.

Not been on here in a while I'm a lot better now.. Still hurts to walk a lot etc but I'm getting there, one of my bunnies died the other day no idea why.
New kitten is doing great... Me and my bf arnt. Not sure what's happening at the minute.

Trying to clean up my room a bit today, I finished little big planet on ps3, need some new games soon.

Glad to hear you are doing better, just keep up with what the MD says and you will be 100% before you know it.

Sorry to hear about your bunny, glad your kitten is doing good.

Sounds like its about time to find a new BF. He should be right beside you helping you through this time, not being mean to you.

im going to be a puppy free zone on monday
the animal rescue is taking them at 6wks

i rehomed 4 to people i know
