Hmmmmm....

I shall think on your dilemna.... Because I am such a horrible enabler!

Other relative? Who could be talked into an itsy bitsy present??

If you have your own money to spend on it... its not ike she would be bothered just that you have a fish in your room... right?

 

[SourRoses]

Oy!

I was having such a nice sleep before and my puppy woke me up barking... he wouldnt stop until I turned the lights on... now hes sleeping comfortably and I'm wide awake and wishing I was more sleepy!

Booored... nothing to do! *whine* or *whinge* as they say over there... I never could figure out the difference

Yeah No moneys to spend

I am broke and will be till i can get a job again lol
Maybe i can ask for money for Christmas when that time of the year comes around...
The good Tanks around here with Lights and stuff aren't cheap

I just went back searching for your reply to this

The part where he is running everywhere and he is covered in mud and the guy needs shirt ideas and forest rubs his face on a shirt and that smile face is left on the shirt

Whats your favorite part?

I almost forget most of the movie... its been such a while.. but I still remember some scenes and what my thoughts were when watching the movie

I like the part when he is sitting on the bus bench and has a philosphical discussion with the elderly lady. Reminds me so much of whenI was a kid and I would start these deep conversations with strangers and tell them my familys life history

I also love the part when he starts running. I imagine so many people have wanted to do that so many times before.... but are too wrapped up in 'what ifs' and practicalities or fear to just GO. He wasn't worried about what he would eat that night or where he would sleep... he was just living and I think that parts wonderful

Mom and I did something similar almost kinda when I was a teen.... it was very freeing for me... not for her though... LOL She had to be the momma and worry about what we were going to eat that night

Hmm...

We ave these little tank kits in our stores that dont run more than $20 for a filter, light and all. They work pretty well, I have one as a quarentine tank and thats what Danielle has too.

Also.. perhaps if you do come across some money.. you could find something in a used listing?

 

[Nicola]

The one i have now is a baisic small tank, i dont even think its made of class

the plastic lid is broken and its a pain in the tooshie to find things that fit in it without overcrowding it

doesn't heat evenly either because its not glass.. i think its plastic type stuff

 

[SourRoses]

Acrylic? Ours are acrylic.. they seem to do well enough... sucks your lid is a pain though

 

[Nicola]

i would 'like' to save up to get one of these http://www.aquaone.co.uk/aquastart320t.php But idk if any of my local petstores have them.. they should do though..

This is the one that i have somewhere around here.. http://www.petsupersavers.com.au/Shop-Bargains/Splish-and-Splash-Starter-Kit-L-28L.html Its small

I know when my mom went back a few years ago, she was talking about how expensive everything is

So many things are much better than here... health care and such... but I remember when we wanted to move there years ago and the cost of housing!!!!! Geesh! It was enough to give you an ulcer.. LOL

Momma made some sausage rolls for dinner

Not that I eat them of course.. hehe. But our ingredients are so much different... I think she really misses all the things from her girlhood

So I was gong to ask before.... That biusness management class thing you are taking... is that the same thing as when mom was in school there and got an apprenticeship to be a hairdresser (There were different vocations to choose from) while she was still in school and got her license to paractice and her school credits and everything at the same time? So still the same program around or general idea of the program?

They really ought to do something like that over here....

... There are soo many kids that would never be able to go to college because of finances and stuff... And then if you dont go to college its harder to find a decent job. Just saying you graduated high school on an application is like saying "I learned my ABC's!" LOL
