Not so random thought but..............

Why the helz is it that it one thing after another to happen to me to cost me more money just before Xmas?

Frist it was my 2 - 1yr old pups vs a porcupine costing me $600
Now it's my damn printer/fax in my office to crap out!!



Note to all: DO NOT BUY A KODAK PRINTER

Had to buy 2 printers in less then 2 yrs , I will never buy a Kodak product EVER AGAIN!!

A few hours after this post last sunday I saw the pencil wrasse briefly and I saw my blue line trigger going after it It dove into the sand really fast and I didn't see it after that. I was really upset with myself for not being able to catch it earlier. Well I finally saw it again today and I guess my Trigger did manage to get it because when I saw my poor pencil wrasse, his whole tail and part of the back end of his body was missing

I caught him and put him in my 34g for now. He looks awful and it seems unlikely he'll make it On the plus side though I knew he hadn't eaten for week so I put some mysis in the tank and he ate it. I feel horrible for him as he keeps trying to bury himself in the sand but without his tail he doesn't seem to be able to Wish I had a crystal ball to see if he'll make it or not.

Nice! The hobbit was actually my favorite book to read of the whole L.O.T.R story/series. I know its not like one of the 'big 3'... but its the precursor. Loved it. Hope the movie is good!

Laurie - Sorry to hear about the wrasse!


Edmonton/Ft. Sask... Ok, It was raining today... december 20th, in fort sask...
Then going back and forth between snow and rain and up and down between 0 and 2 degrees on my drive back to edmonton.
Now its been a snowstorm between ft. sask and hay lakes area for 2 hours. Only in Alberta...

The hobbit was my favorite book as well by far.

Thanks, and ya it really sucks about the wrasse. He's still alive this morning and was swimming/hobbling around. I'm really mad at myself about it, it was my fault thinking he'd be ok with my trigger. I thought he would be fine because my trigger totally ignores the little pink fairly wrasse and never bothered my rainbow wrasse when I added him. The trigger did leave the pencil wrasse alone for the first 2 days then it went downhill from there, the rainbow wrasse also started being mean after a couple of days. So odd because usually a fish will get bullied the worse in the first few days and then it clams down after that not the other way around

So true about Alberta weather. I used to have a teacher that always said "You don't like the weather in Alberta.....wait a minute".

lol at least its not rats but I hate mice too! we had one in our apartment, cause we're on the outside of town, and live on the ground floor, and we had some sticky traps behind the dryer where it was hanging out, and I got IT! needless to say (this is the best part) I also caught my cat too! took me 2 hours to clean the sticky trap off of her with canola oil
