Only dead fish, live fish don't well they shouldn't if their tank is being cared for.

Sometimes I am amazed at what some aquarium fish sell for, they had 2 listed last week and sold one. $7,499.99 USD but you get free shipping......

There's a little snow on my van this morning, and I'll have to brush it off for the first time this season.

I got my California ballot by email a few days ago. 13 pages. There is so much to research.

6 years doesn't seem like a lot of time, but looking at photos from Dec 2012 to photos taken this summer, I went from no gray hair to a lot of gray hair, my hair had color still in 2012....lol

Hi Bats.
I've seen a few of your posts do this odd scrambling now. I am not sure what is causing this. I've only seen it with one other poster.

Ive had this issue as well. I end up deleting the posts when this occurs.

Only happens when I am using the cell phone though. Andriod LG something or other.

Doesnt seem to happen when using a PC.

So much snow! The roads were awful this morning. Hwy closed, people in ditches. Hate the first few snowy drives, only seems like 5 minutes since last winter.

Drizzle here. Cool. I turned the car air conditioning off. Supposed to be warmish on the weekend, 24-25.

The last time I saw snow like that was in Toronto in the winter of 1966/67. In the December I was invited to make a temporary move to the firm's office in Nassau, Bahamas - just for a couple of weeks to help them out. Since then, the closest I've got to a snowy winter is the TV screen. Do you people really like the cold? I mean, really?

I work with a woman who claims to like the winter. I've only worked with her since the spring so I'll be interested in her view when she's got the flu and we're push starting her car.

i like the winter/cold when i'm inside and viewing it from the comfort of my condo. I love watching the weather come in across the lake. I love watching the snow flakes swirling around the building. I love using it as an excuse not to go outside, to drink copious amounts of hot chocolate with baileys. I love curling up on the couch with a blanket.

I hate having to go outside in it
