The guppies died.
Since I killed them I figured I should replace them.
Off I went this morning and picked out a couple of some kind of tetras and a snail. I guarded them well all through the journey home on the bus. I got the tank all nice and clean. I put new rocks in the tank and filled it with water. I added the chlorine remover and the water conditioner. I placed the bag with my new charges in the tank so they could get used to the temperature.
Keep in mind it is a very small aquarium, about a gallon.
A few hours later I was ready to release them to their new home.
This is when it became unbelievably tragic.
The aquarium was sitting in the kitchen sink.
I opened the bag to slowly release them into their new home so lovingly prepared for their arrival.
The snail went in first and as I was watching it bob around the bag slipped.
Two brand new fish went right down the drain
Now I am a serial killer.
If you see my wanted poster plastered all over pet stores you know where to find me so you can collect your reward.

a horrible, horrible person who needs a real lesson on how to care for fish.
My son has a small aquarium, I think about a gallon. He has had 2 guppies living happily in there until today.
The aquarium and the rocks had gotten very green very quicky. I had to change the tank. We couldn't even see the fish in there.
I put the fish in a fish bowl and proceeded to try and clean it. Everything was so covered in algae it just wasn't coming off.
This is where I become a murderer
I thought a few drops of bleach wouldn't be a problem if I rinsed everything well and conditioned the water.
I was sooooooooooooooo wrong.
Poor lil suckers were in their nice clean aquarium for a grand total of 2 hrs. Went up to put my son to bed and man it didn't look good. I have never seen fish acting like this.
They are now in a small fish bowl on the counter beside me twitching and gulping at the air bubbles, laying on their sides.
I see a flush funeral in my immediate future
If anyone knows how to care for small aquariums HELP ME!!!
I don't want to repeat this mistake.
ju,
the murderer

I had a blog I was gonna blog and if I remember right I really did have something to say.
BUT
BNG grabbed me and we had to clear up an insect problem.
So here I am with nothing what so ever to say. I am sure you don't mind as I do have a tendancy to rant.
NN show us your nudle/cock!!
Or at least show us your cock doesn't look like a nudle!!
How do rumours get started?

day 2.
It was actually a little more interesting and I did get a bit of a lead to something I am interested in. There was only one guy in a room full of women but he took it well.
Lunch again was a bonanza!
A little further down this half empty mall is a liquidation centre. I found a tool box, a real metal tool box, red and with a pop up lid and a couple of drawers. Like the kind mechanics have but on a smaller scale. $16!! Of course I bought one for my son.
Christmas shopping has officially begun.
Ahead of the game,

so I had high hopes. This brainstorming session was how to brain storm within their parameters. Sorry that isn't within our jurisdiction and we don't have the funding to do that. You will have to contact such and such an agency
I must say that I did score large at the dollar store on my lunch break! I am a dollar store addict. The coolest thing I got was a lil tripod. It is only 15cms high but I can tilt the cam on it. I am happy as a pig in shit with that purchase!!
I can now also make perfectly circular eggs, presentation counts you know. I also got some "bowls" that look like mini laundry baskets. They are insanely bright colours but they are cute as hell. I got a twirlly wind thing for the garden and a few other odds and sods.
As you can tell it was boring as hell but i am going back tomorrow.
It is only a two day session but who knows the dollar store might get a new shipment.
ju

opportunity for the next few days. I am being asked for my input about how a certain segment of my govt is run.
Oddly enough I do have a few ideas
Wish me luck I don't really think what I have to say will be listened to but I am hopeful that a few things will sink in.
You just never know,

I really was off my feed yesterday.
11 hrs of sleep later, yeah I couldn't believe I slept that long and lots of out door time today seems to have cured me.
I have a bit of a busy week ahead of me.
Two days of brainstorming but I am looking forward to it.
Off to do some reading and get some more of that natural drug we call sleep.
ju

in a bit of a mood. I am bored, restless and yet can't settle my mind to actually accomplish anything.
I want to chat but chat isn't satisfying.
I am watching and am getting faintly annoyed. It has nothing to do with anyone but me. My planets must be outta whack or perhaps it is just that it rained all day today.
Spring is in the air, maybe cabin fever has finally totally over taken me.
Whatever it is, I wish it would go away.

Wasn't too sucessfull. I did all my necessary chores in the morning and after having dropped kids off headed to the lake, cam in hand.
I pulled into the parking lot at the beach and it was full!! Full of single guys (single meaning one in each vehicle) sitting in their cars/trucks waiting for... I don't want to know.
I was wearing a big sweat shirt with a t shirt underneath and was a lil too warm until...
I got to the lake.
Why the hell didn't anyone remind me these huge bodies of water create their own climates???
I froze, it was cold and windy. I did take a few totally boring pics, you get to ooooo and ahhhhhh over this one.




I did walk a lil way along the beach and really wanted to walk to the pier and out to the end but holy hell it was cold!
So I gave up and headed back inland (within a few mins you are away from the influence of the lake) and decided to take some pics of a sure sign of spring here.



Trilliums, our provincial flower. They are carpeting our forest floors. It is illegal to pick them. Rumour has it going all the way back to when I was a kid. If you pick the flower you kill the plant. I have NO idea if this is true or not and do not know to this day if there are trillium police lurking in the woods each spring or not.
I choose not to find out, rather just enjoy them as they are.
Enjoying spring such as it is,
ju
