I am sorry to hear that you had a bad experance. It is however good to hear that you are happy with the finished peoduct. Does anyone have any stories of GOOD service they have received?

If we are awake enough to make it up there on time

What kind? AE111?

Treo is not an angry hermit he is just picky as to who he likes

Dont worry too much about the nest distruction We have had nest almost compleatly destroyed and there was still fry in there. There should almost be fry in the tank now anyway so should be fine

We have our club meeting on Sunday at 1 I would recommend having a look at Wet Pets and Animates. You could even meet up with some of the locals and check out their tanks.

There is a place in Pororua that turns it in to insulation

Would it not be better to say... It would be nice to see people being willing to consider other peoples opinions and experiences instead of hotly denying the right to smack a your child

No the law needed to be defined. If there was a definition of "reasionable force" and harsher penaltys for people that do "smash their kids with a wepon" Everyone that I have spoken to that wants the law removed is not saying we should have the right to strap our kids to a power poll and hit them with a wip or beat them with a stick. They are saying that you should be alloud to smack their child with an open hand (and not have a lasting mark) Even Sue Bradford her self supports a smack but everyone seems to have forgoten that

It has never been legal to his anyone with a 4 by 2 or horse wip. You should go and read some law books and find out what the law actualy was. I dont think any judge would say that hitting a child with a bit of 4 by 2 is using "reasionable force"

I remember not that long ago a lady out the front of work that had a young boy with her. The boy did not want to walk any further (judging by the bags the lady had with her the had been shopping all day) so he was crying and saying he was tired and wanted to sit down and have a rest. She then turned to him (in the rain) and said if you dont behave I will make you sit here and have a time out for 5 min. That is when the kid stopped crying sat down and had the rest he wanted the mother on the other hand got angry that the kid was happy and yelled at him for being such a pain. paul_r: I totaly agree a time out would not have worked for me and I think I would not be the man I am now without a good smack when I was being bad alanmin4304: There is a big difference between a smack and what you have just described. You are describing a violent and calculating bully not an open handed smack on the butt. I think you need - edit Admin - look at the bigger picture. Smack is not beating you children it is a short sharp shock that leaves no mark or headache for the rest of the day.

This is likely to offend people but I think it needs to be said... Everyone keeps saying NZ is getting more violent and more domestic violence ect. In my opinion there is a direct link with the increase of domestic violence and the reduction of corporal punishment. If you look at it violence is becoming a problem because noone know respect. 50 years ago you learnt values and respect. If you disrespected your elders you got a smack and when you grew up you showed that same respect and where less likely to smack you kids because you knew how it felt. Now people that call themself parents (stupid 15 years olds that got drunk and went at it at some party. Probably not knowing the guy for more than 5 min) do not know what it is like and they hit their kids like they would hit someone in the pub. I think the hippies that are saying we are getting violent and need to stop should look at their parents and their parents and then go tell them how much of a failure they are because they were horrible parents that do not know how to raise good children. I was smacked and I think I turned out OK. I have not been in prison, charged with assault or anything else major. I have a good job and a good partner (who was also smacked and turned out ok)

We have been told by a lot of people that we are mean and should not be horrible when we say we don't like him. It is surprising how everyone likes him till they do their research and find out what he is actually doing. we have been told a few things by some very gullible people that they have been told by SIR busch (that quite frankly make me laugh) some very ridiculous things that make little sense to people who live in the real world. SIR= seriously intellectually retarded (kinda like the white tigers he breeds)

This is another interesting link. http://www.bigcatrescue.org/cats/wild/white_tigers.htm Hopefully one day someone can step in and stop them from breeding the whites. A girl we spoke to at Hamilton zoo said that she would like to see the Bengal tigers given to the zoos so a real breeding program could be started. I have had a look at Zions web page and it is full of lies. The say that the white tiger is "endangered" and that it is a rare sub species.

PH 55 wow what fish do you have that can live in that? When did the scale start going past 14? If is had lost of its fins it might have been stressed from life at the LFS and the move was enought to finnish it off

This could be a good way to make some money and clean the bird at the same time

Give him his big boy undies and hit him with the truth Here is my suggested conversation: You: Hey boy come here... Child (sorry I dont remember his name): Yes mum what would you like You: Fish was sick so mum killed him... note: You will never need to worry about him wanting a day off school because he is sick ever again

The Jebo is the perfect size for a 9L cube it sits just under the water line ans is not too intrusive

It looks the same as it did last time I was there

I think that Wet Pets is good but there never seems to much there that I want They do have nice tanks, good prices and the staff are always friendly. Animates are also very good (you get to play with their animals) and we always make sure we go and see both. I do have to say that Animates and Wet Pets have by far the best service I have received at a pet shop. They are more about service than sales. It is nice to be given honest advice not just shown the most expensive product This goes to Animates and Wet Pets Palmy

Girls really have too many clothes

re:http://www.nzherald.co.nz/environment/n ... d=10590940 When did we start getting "tropical puffer fish" in Auckland. Did I miss something? Has global warming made NZ a tropical area? OR has someone been doing some GE and made a cold water tropical puffer?

Good idea.

Now that you hvae some cash from the tyres you can make it grow... BLACK 13

Where are you shipping to? I might have a poly box if you need it or if it is anywhere between Wellie and Palmy I will be going up there on 30th of this month so could take them for you
