Nano 02-03-2013 11:46 PM

so a walmart employee put a nice dent in my jeep with the carts and just kept going. I went in and talked to the manager she said "sorry she's deaf..."
Is she blind too?!?! Needless to say I'm getting it fixed on their dime but seriously...
She's deaf but she couldn't see or feel the carts smashing into my car? My god.. :lol:

Getting to know the Calgary hospital fairly well. Doug's Mom is in the critical intensive care unit :sad:

lastlight 02-04-2013 02:06 AM

Sorry to hear I hope things turn out ok.

The Grizz 02-04-2013 02:15 AM

Sorry to hear Laurie, tell Doug where all thinking about him & his mom & hoping for a turn around in her condition.

fishoholic 02-04-2013 02:23 AM

Thanks guys. I also found out its the cardiac intensive care unit. His mom has double pneumonia and had a minor heart attack and is hooked up to a breathing machine. We are hopeful that the antibiotics will kick in and clear her lungs and she'll get better.

I'm sure they are just using it as an excuse to raise prices a bit more. A number of provinces have HST with an odd number (13%) so rounding up before the till nation wide would do nothing to get a total that would end in a 5 or zero.

Aysha 02-04-2013 03:42 AM

Welp, I fold. I'm going to focus on my F/W systems! It was a great learning experience thanks guys!

I don't understand when ppl complain about the price of a coral and saying you shouldn't charge retail for a used coral.. This has been on my mind recently. If you go to a flower store and want flowers can you say you want a discount cause they are used or damaged by being cut? Lol

Anyways I get what ppl mean by it all as in for the love of the hobby share and get shared with as its usually what I do.. It's just one of those things that real really struck me as a funny comment.

Just my random thought for the day

Aysha 02-07-2013 04:28 AM

I think it's moreso you're not dealing with shop overhead so you shouldn't charge as much. I personally charge what I think I can get away with based on what other people are charging. If I could charge 40.00 a head for Frogspawn damn skippy I would. But I usually charge about 5.00

Fish. I'll pay retail on a "used" fish because IT'S NOT SICK.IT'S NOT GONNA DIE!! YOU KNOW IT'S PERSONALITY.

Having one of those "I want to nuke my tank" Kinda nights with a side of "die nemo die a slow and painful death"

Baldy 02-09-2013 05:06 AM

No don't kill nemo!!! Sell him instead >:)

lockrookie 02-09-2013 05:15 AM

Nemo and and his partner in crime in both my tanks drive me crazy biting me every time I do something in the tank. That and every coral I placed decided to move before the glue dried. No worries they won't be killed I'm just in a mood.

Aysha 02-09-2013 05:51 AM

Wow I'm down to just the glass and skimmer in my tank in just 3 days!
HOLY PIRANHAS BATMAN!!!!!!!

It's more of a case of how to make a frag of it. They are all attached and spread thin along a rock thats under a few others. Not sure how to get at it to make a frag, but once that's done they'll be safe in my 80g :razz:

Phil 02-10-2013 12:38 AM

Just a thought I bought a master craft dremmel and it came with a long flexible extention u can use inside the tank with a diamond blade I bought it for $20 on sale. I use it all the time never wore out the first diamond blade yet

Interesting idea, how long is the extension? They are approx. 14" under water.

Phil 02-10-2013 02:33 AM

Mine likes to taste test everything that comes in the tank... And I believe he liked the taste of it everything else he leaves alone other than to play toss with a frag or two with my regal until I glue them down

Lol, that's kinda funny. I can see it, hey, how's this one, he forgot about it, ya dude that's awesome, think we can toss it where he can't reach? My snails always somehow knock over my frags, no matter how much glue I use. :twised:

Nano 02-12-2013 03:35 AM

Agh!!!!! Watching tanked makes me so mad!! Those guys are the reason we can't have clams anymore!

Man. Even I know more then those two combined lol

Phil 02-12-2013 03:42 AM

Are you plumbing it inline or standalone ? I'm formulating a frag tank now too and want to try and attach it in line but there are also advantages of standalone.

My stand alone system isn't working out, and it's more work than it's worth. So I'm going to build a smaller tank that sits inline. That also means no duplication of systems, and life is easier.

Who else loves Skype?

My little girl Felicia went to Malaysia for almost 4 weeks with my parents and she's having a great time. Miss her like crazy but at least with Skype, we can video call once or twice a day so that's not bad at all compared to in the past. With Skype, no need for expensive long-distance telephone plans or calls & you get to see who you're talking to. It's awesome.

My wife's family lives in ny and north corolina so we use Skype or our Xbox all the time to keep in touch. I like the Xbox better personally but with Skype she can walk around the house on her IPod. Great tools
