Aquariums and fish keeping. Its as complicated as you want it to be from a simple tank and a few fish to a multi tank breeding setup for fish that need very specific requirements. It is one of those hobbies that will make you want more tanks than you have room for, if you get really into it.

Not only are we on fire too, but Canada has been sending its own firefighters to help us…

If i had the time and money, id be tempted to but a tennis net and set it up right out side the gated courts. If theres pavement nearby id use that but if not, roads work. Really drive home the absurdity of this whole situation. Maybe get the news involved.
Im a petty person when it comes to injustices.

Thats a BS excuse. Its for profit for that 3rd party company and whichever official is getting a kickback from it.

edit- Id also be willing to bet that if the city put this much “effort” into these courts, then there are cameras pointed at them and having a registration system to track damages is redundant.

My mom had a rock collection. There was one big rock that was purpleish with white streaks through it. I remember going through her collection just to pull that rock out. Id be stoked if i came across it again.

The dream.

Don’t mess with these guys unless you have to. theyll bite your fingers/hand clean off (depending how big they are) One of my fave YouTube Channels just put a video out on his pet hybrid snapper. Its a cross between a common and an alligator. Something i found interesting was he talks about handling the turtles and how if you support the bottom plate of the turt it doesn’t snap at you (as much). Guess the way most people handle them like a burger can hurt the turtle.

Your not doing the computer chair shuffle twice a day?

Ive been using that method for years without knowing it had a fancy name. It really does work. My problem seems to be an ADHD fueled bender of a cleaning session that leaves me wiped out after several hours or fervent cleaning. Once i get over that initial hump its all down hill from there. Makes me much less likely to start something cus i know where it ends most of the time.

Lots of good suggestions here. See a doctor and get a blood workup. Ask about side effects of meds you may be on like statins that could cause some of the issues. Track your sleep with a phone or watch app. Even if your asleep for 8 hours, it doesn’t mean its restful sleep. Also could be worth asking the doctor while your there about sleep apnea. Exercise regularly, doesn’t have to be much just something. Eat really clean for a week or so and see if it helps. But yeah, see a doc and describe everything to them. Write it all down before you go in so you don’t leave out important details.

Rock. It will last through the ages/random moves. Its small and portable but substantial enough to be satisfying. My only concern is id be afraid id try to skip it across a lake and lose it.

Boston sometimes smells like molasses in the summer from a molasses flood back in 1919.

There was a crow i was so close to befriending at my last job. Thats the only thing i miss about that job. I should bring him a treat, for old time sake. Hes probably still around there…

Little bro had a Furby when they first came out. It was annoying as hell and even he got tired of it pretty quick. It ended up in a box in the closet for years. Then one night around midnight it just started talking. But like that slow demonic low on battery talk that toys do. Mind you this was years after it was stored away. I burned that Furby the next day.

Its hard to take off a mask youve been wearing for decades.

Great job helping that little stinker out. Might i suggest a more permanent ramp for critters to escape in the future? Something like this ramp or little steps to help animals out if they get in? Added bonus to that is, you may get more visitors if they can get in and out safely.

The nature here is the only reason i didn’t leave years ago. The beaches are great, the everglades are amazing. Hell, i even really enjoy our scrub forests. Id miss it for sure but its getting bad here.

Hey man, when mom threw away the Sears catalogue, you had to do what you had to do.

Of course this is in my backyard. God i hate this ass backwards state. I cant wait to escape Floriduh but the system just keeps keeping me down.
