Exciting Poll

Have now spent the better part of a week lying on the couch watching TV while getting over an ear infection. Went to see the doctor today and it seems rest has done the trick and I will not need antibiotics, hooray! I have been making productive use of my time by spring cleaning the house. (I even cleaned behind the fridge! I don't think I've done that since it was installed three and a half years ago!) Now I only have two areas left to clean/organize.
[Poll #1054721]
Also:
quixotic_sense, I still have several boxes of your stuff. Would you like it back, by any chance?
In other news, any time fandom is annoying me with its stupidity, I just need to spend a little time browsing aquarium sites. I do not have any fish at the moment, but I've got plans to set up several tanks in the future. You can never do too much research in advance, as the dumb questions on some of these sites prove.
It's not that I've never killed a fish through stupidity (never leave the lid off the tank unless you're in the room) but at least I never put any livestock in a tank with something that would eat it! If you put neon tetras in with your Angelfish, for instance, chances are the Angelfish will soon be thanking you for the tasty snacks.
Dumbest thing I have ever seen in a fish forum: "I caught a wild trout and put it in my betta's tank, and now my betta is acting weird. What is wrong with him?"
Of course he's acting weird! I would act weird if someone put a wild trout in my house.

Date: 2007-09-13 06:34 pm (UTC)I now have the urge to use this as an all-purpose explanation for other people's strange behavior. "Yeah, he was kind of freaking out, but I would act weird if someone put a wild trout in my house."
