Looks like a few mollies and a goldfish?

Well I guess it's a good sign that it can survive, what with the battle of turtle shit going on. I guess the filtration is good enough...

The ammonia level from the poop usually wipes them out.

I ended up with a HUGE (probably 6-7") goldfish that started as a feeder for my Piranha.
After a while, they just didn't bother with him.

Goldfish can be surprisingly hardy. We got one from the fairground when I was little. He lived for about 15 years irrc. And for the last 5-6 of those years he was totally blind - he was put into another tank for about half an hour whilst my bro cleaned his tank out - and the other fish in that tank bit out his eyes. still kept going.

He was called Tom.

Yesterday, Popdigr picked two fresh, ripe tomatoes off his tomato plants. Yes, he still has tomatoes, even though they were covered last night, they still took a pretty hard frost hit.

It made 25° last night here. 21° is some parts.

Brrrrr.....

I still have three tomatoes in the garden, they're green and likely to stay that way. I ate the last two ripe ones last night.

glatt, that is so funny...goes along with my post in the mental health thread on ways to get to sleep.

I would replace strange noises (which don't bother me much unless it's on a Paranormal Activity level) with "Ways in which I've totally failed." :lol:

I lump the total failure category in with the "why did I do that?" category. But I totally hear what you are saying.

And I saw the other thread after I posted this and was kicking myself for not posting it there. It would have been perfect!

Heh, 'why did i do that' sounds innocuous enough that if i had a successful life I might ponder it.

'ways in which I've totally failed' refers to catastrophic failures. Like, lifetime stuff.

Just messing with you. Part of my shtick is self-deprecating humor. Part of it is true. :)

Thor missed school on Friday to play in a hockey tournament. I emailed the usual "series of appointments with solidified hydrogen dioxide experts" excuse (this is maybe the 5th or 6th time between the two boys in a very small/close-knit school, all the teachers/admin know what he is doing....) I just checked in Powerschool (the online electronic grades/attendance record) and he is marked down as having a medical excuse :lol:

I remember one time last year I emailed the school and told them Mav was going to clown school that day. The lady that processes the emails responded by saying I'd given her the best laugh she'd had all day. It was the end of the school year and there was nothing doing at school.

I had a long lived funfair goldfish too. I was studying World Powers of the 20th century at the time. Our cat Tinker ate Mao, rather appropriately. But Ho Chi Minh lived for years . With eyes. He was my first minion. I trained him to swim into my hand so I could clean his tank. The net spooked him. Then Muffin ran off with it anyway. The net, not the dictator .

Somebody is drunk at Google maps. I started to report all the mistakes I found in this neighborhood in North Arlington, but it would have been much easier to draw a picture rather than use their push pin method of reporting mistakes. So I just commented that the whole neighborhood is wrong.

Everything in pink was drawn (and labeled!)by a drunk intern and doesn't exist in the real world. Everything in red is in the real world, but not on their map.

They have fixed a major thoroughfare since I saw these mistakes last night. That one was finny, because there was no road on the map, but if you turned on traffic, it showed a green traffic band going through the woods.
