Hello. Hope your weekend is starting out good. I've been sitting here trying to talk myself into not going shopping just incase they do enact a tax free week of shopping but I've pretty much decided I'd rather hit the mall this weekend than next weekend when it will be super crowded. I'm just not much for crowds and I'm not very patient trying to find a place to park.

Skeeter, I could swear I posted to you yesterday. Hmmmm. So you got another fish, huh? You know, I'm sure you could find other places for more fish if you looked around. I'd say you've become a Betta collector. :lol: While I'm at the mall I might stop in the pet shop and see what they've got. No, I'm not buying one today. I'm just going to look. See, the thing is, I saw all those poor little fishies in those little bittie cups and I wanted to buy them all just to rescue them. It just didn't seem right that they were in such tiny little quarters. That was nice of you to help that man with his pontoon. I'm not much for boating but I think I'd enjoy being on a pontoon. They just look safer. Dh had his eye out over the summer for a fishing boat. I don't know where he thought he'd get the money for one. :s:

Marlana, I'm so glad you are feeling better today. Its really hard when you are obcessing over someone elses problems. I do that myself and I get to the point where I have to tell myself to "Stop". I've mentioned that before about how I tell myself that and how it really does help. You keep saying Stop to yourself enuff and you do stop thinking about it. I hate dealing with insurance. Mine is really good but dh's sucks. One time he will have a bill for something and it wont pay much on it at all but then another time he'll have another bill for the exact same thing, just a different time and it will pay almost all of it. I just don't get it. My problem with medical bills, I end up waiting to long to pay on them. If I'd just start paying on them when they come in, it would be so much easier on us but I get to where I feel like I just can't deal with them. I wish I could just throw them away and then they'd be gone forever. But....oh well. I'll get them taken care of eventually. I always do. Could you please explain what the barometric pressure has to do with fishing? I've never heard of that till you mentioned it.

Well, I'm going to get off here and get in the shower so I can head out to the mall. I'll talk to you later.

Hey everyone. :wave:

Today has been a gorgeous day. I didn't do any work but played with my fish instead. I cleaned Leon's tank and got my newest tank arranged better and put Moby in it. The newest fish got the vase with the peace lily on top. He will probably get his own tank some day. It's funny how my husband tries to act like I shouldn't buy these fish but only half heartedly then seems to really enjoy watching these guys in their tanks. Something about watching them is so calming to me.

JoJo~You know I think that those fish being kept in those little tiny cups is the reason that my husband doesn't protest my buying these guys. He feels sorry for them also. It seems like I make up my mind that I have enough of them and then find one that has colors that just dazzle me. I end up acting like a little kid in a toy store. I had an aquarium when I was a lot younger and just starting to raise my kids. I remember having a betta in a small community tank with some other kinds of fish but never got the betta fever back then. Maybe it was because they only came in blue and red back then. This newest fish, Griffy might end up with a 10 gallon aquarium if my daughter remembers to pack those tanks up for me Thursday. I just don't know where I would put a tank like that where I would be around it a lot. Maybe here in the computer room. :D The pontoon that we are helping to move is the one that we have gone fishing on and it rides really great. I just love being on one because you can walk all around them. My dogs enjoyed being on it also because it didn't rock. Hope that you have a good time shopping, we have already had one of those tax free shopping days and it was crowded.

Marlana~I am really looking forward to our trip to Orlando for Thanksgiving. I just hope that everyone can get along and not fight for just one day. There is a lot of bad history with my daughters boyfriend who is also the father of my oldest grandson that had the surgery last year at Shriner's. He will be there and my husband can't stand him. We are both looking forward to seeing our youngest grandson who is now 9 months old. Yes he is my son's son. That Addpopper sounds like it would be worth looking into. Maybe I will find some time tomorrow after we get that pontoon boat moved. I am glad to hear that you feel better today. Maybe you'll get to do some fishing this weekend and feel even better. :lol:

I hope that everyone else is enjoying their weekend as much as I am. :) Have a great one. This thread went to 2 pages in only 15 posts so I just left it alone. It didn't take very long to go to the second page anyhow.
