But wouldn't that be a purtydarnbig tank to start out with?
Bear, the guys at the ARNG told me that if I could find out the date they circled my house three times (when I got that series of photos), they could find out who it was that did the circling and tell me! Also, they said they'd write it on the back of the picture frame (which is what I wanted to do.)
So if you get time sometime, would you look that up for me? I'd appreciate it!
Also, the guy that wrote me back...remember that guy that wrote me back and gave me his wing patch? I sent him knife... Well...he has been deployed to Iraq. I found that out too, during the field trip.
It's bigger than mine, but there's nothing more difficult about a larger tank, once they're over 10-20 gal you can't really pick them up to clean them out anyway... you clean and vacuum them in place. There's some ease to a larger tank, it'll stay cleaner longer if the filter's good and you don't overpopulate it. It's good. If you think you want fish, I'd say start out with a nice sized tank.
I'm just not sure
1) where I'd put it
2) if I need ~something else~ to do right now
I'd just hate to pass up a bargain.
It's a commitment... But I think of fish as being decor more than a pet. I like them in the living room, but I also like them in the bedroom, they make a nice pretty nightlight to look at, and the sound of the water is soothing, unless you're a bedwetter, in which case I wouldn't recommend it ;~D
You need a substantial piece of furniture to put it on. it weighs 8.3*55=456 pounds with just water in it... not countin' rocks :~D
I think I'll pass this time. I really don't have a good location for a tank. Especially one that big.
It'll stay on my want to before I die list...
Good response ;-)
You're not blaming me for killing it, are you? It was dead when I arrived.
Please let him know that his Hobbit Hole replacement knife was sent today. It has his name engraved on it, so it should be easier to keep track of. I don't have a good email address for him, so my note bounced.
Can you account for the missing 38 minutes?
hmmmmmm...????
I didn't think so.
I was in class at that time, trying to look attentive.
I'm sure you can verify that?
I have witnesses. The professor, for one. And I walked back to the department with a classmate while we discussed IDEs and Java. How's that?
As if I'm supposed to believe anyone ~really~ discusses IDEs and Java...
Well, we are computer geeks. Discussing the high points of Eclipse and how silly it is not to use it makes us happy...
that's just... scary.
Afternoon folkses... :-)
Airport ping.
