I keep thinkin' I want some more livestock, but cain't really do that in our neighborhood. Told the wife we needed some chickens. She just stared at me.

'bout the best I'm gonna do is to get a good fish tank goin'.

You still have your fish Hair? You haven't mentioned 'em lately. 'Course you got other things on your mind.

I'm so glad you mentioned fish, Corin!

I have something to add to the "be careful what you pray for" list....

Lately, I've been praying that the Lord would remove unnecessary burdens from my life in order to reduce my stress. Yesterday morning, I woke up to find that all of my fish (except the bettas) had died. All SEVEN of them, from catfish to tetras. For no reason. Spooky!

When my mom found me standing in front of the 20 gallon tank, with the fish food in my hand, she peered into the tank and said "The fish are all dead?!"

I looked at her, shrugged and said "Praise the Lord!" *sigh*

I feel terrible about losing all of my fish, especially the cory cats which I loved, but they were undoubtedly an unnecessary burden in my life. No arguments there.

The bettas are easy to care for, so it looks like God spared them (for now). LOL!

I still have the tank and with just two neons in it and about a thousand snails. The last Bala shark committed suicide and jumped out. Next time I am at the pet store, I am at least gonna pick up a Beta fish.
