Big pond, big Koi


http://www.oxbowherald.sk.ca/News/Lo...oundary-Dam/1#

I once saw a koi in the community lake where i grew up here in calgary. was also a big boy...

I've never had a spokes person or rep effect me to the point where I would rather........ no I WOULD get out of the hobby before I bought any of the products he wholesales...

OMG BUT YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND; ITS NATURAL SCIENCE THAT PROVES IT!!?

The ability to close AND amend threads needs to be REMOVED. Let me assure this person he does no good to himself by amending others posts and then closing the discussion.

Tell me how you feel how you really really feel, I wanna,I wanna :puke: ever time I seem him post.

I totally agree with this. I wish they would stop trying to tell me that I NEED sea salt to have a successful tank. Where's the proof? Where's the science?? Have they actually tried table salt to prove this ?? I bet I could run my tank on table salt. Sea salt my arse. Now, if i could just figure out how to get table salt in 5g pails..

Pffft, you should still have left over baking soda? Use that!

But that will cause an imbalance. Sheesh Levi, everyone knows this. Go back to school.

This stuff HAS to be close enough. I'm sure it says balanced and ionic on the package somewhere. Maybe not in the same sentence buutttt come on.

Gimme a few minutes, I can make that bag read what you want :rolleyes:

I have fairly large colonies that appear to be happy
Honestly, I'm gonna keep using my salt buckets, and my bulk additives, and 'Damn the Torpedoes'

I swear someone is loosing his mind......

Amazing how much brighter the tank is when one decides to do some maintenance, scrape the glass and clean light lenses....now I can see all my pretty aiptasias......:twised:

But under the right light aiptasia looks so pretty and "flowery" as my nieces put it

Mine look like big scary stringy monsters! Big and fat too!

Gotta love paying 1100$ in deductions on 2 weeks wages... Does bc suck or are all the provinces this crappy

I just paid 1600$ to the man for one weeks wages... Now thats some bulls**t. Imagine how much people who make lots of money pay. Scarey!

It's all of Canada. Pretty sad when we pay more toward taxes than food

Imagine how people that earn less than that gross in two weeks try to survive....

Now thats a scarey thought. But then they wouldnt be paying the government nearly as much either.

Please raise your hand if you're horrified by the first world problem of making too much money and the hardships that come along with it.

Too much money ain't enough money

Revenue Canada wants you to prepay your taxes now, if they think you make too much money.

:wave:

Oh the joys of overtime

Would be interesting to find out how many tax auditors there are at all levels of gov't. Every time a politician dreams up another tax, someone has to administer that. More public employees on handsome salaries with full benefits at the expense of we the taxpayers. But in a way, we bring it on ourselves, demanding ever more services.

Some examples of tax items on my utility bills. There are also some charges that I have trouble figuring out, not sure whether they're a tax or what.

BC Hydro - "Rate Rider @ 5% - $3.45"? What in the world is a rate rider? A tax or some nifty little cash grab by the gov't corporation? Small fee yes, but multiply that by a few million customers. This little gem is subject to GST too. On the plus side, the 'carbon tax' does not seem to apply to this utility. Thank heaven for mega dams in BC, we're not burning coal or splitting atoms to generate electricity here.... yet.

Fortis BC, Natural Gas - This one's a hoot.
Commoditiy Charges - "Midstream"? This is above the actual "Cost of Gas" line. Was ist das?
Taxes and fees - There are 4, count 'em 4 items under this heading, Franchise Fee, Carbon Tax, Clean Energy Levy and finally good old GST! Clean Energy Levy & Carbon Tax??? Seems like a double whammy to me. Please explain!

Shaw, Internet & Cable - I've recently cancelled the cable TV & use rabbit ears to pull in a single OTA HD channel. This one's pretty straight forward though, GST, PST, c'est tout.

Telus Mobile - Same as Shaw, GST, PST

On top of income tax, property tax, quarterly utility bills subject to tax items I pay to the city of Vernon, I believe there are also taxes on fuel, liquor & many other items we pretty much consider daily needs in our 1st world society. Add a monthly health care charge to my income... it all adds up. Small wonder we pay more in taxes than the other necessities.

I reckon this is why many retirees & some of our honourable Senators have residences in Mexico or other tax havens. Kudos to the savvy retirees, they've earned it. Senators? Shouldn't they be at work in the royal chamber instead of walking their dog on a beach in Mexico?

Now if the majority of these tax dollars are spent wisely it all's well. The news of corruption & misspending we see regularly on the media is cause for concern though.

Sorry, bit of a rant, have a nice weekend....

Mike,
well versed

Wow
 

Telus bc/Rogers wireless: 2 of the biggest scam artists on the planet

+1 couldnt agree more

You have to pay extra to live in a first world country, didn't you get the memo? :biggrin:

Got my first electric/water shock today. Mixing nsw, added my trusty pump to the water, put my hand in to rinse my scoop and wowzers..... unplugged the pump, gave it a shake, plugged back in and zapped again.

Not a great feeling for sure. Pump has been tossed!

NOW, you're a reefer :) Welcome to the club. We have a section of our club for members that have lit their houses on fire. Everyone needs something to work towards, right?? :)

glad you lived to type about it!

What kind of person gets you to let their dogs out and check up on their house while they're on vacation and doesn't leave beer in the fridge....

Amen, brother!

first world problems
 

Turned on my work cell after a month of holidays and see this. Guess the delete key will be getting a workout today.

Thanks! I guarantee if you didn't it would have lead to my third and likely final banishment. :biggrin:

I resisted the urge to post as well.

Back to Words with Friends for me. I have some rube I'm soundly thrashing. No possibility of getting banned there. :lol:
