got at least 3 different kinds of ostracod in there now, very exciting :happy2:

that sounds like something I need to eat a lot of !drool:

:spop:

I bought a block of Whittakers Rum n Raisin today. It's nice but not great. For me it's not sweet enough so it stops me eating more than I should, which is a good thing. I eat more like this Fi5hguy

Everybody wins!

why don't you just put some peat in a stocking and sit it in the tank? Then you'll get the tannins and water softening but not have to wait for the filter. Another thing I've seen is putting the peat in a lunch box, cut a reasonable sized hole in the lid, soak the peat in water and then dump the whole thing in the tank. THat's how the peat laying killies lay their eggs, they go into the box to do it, but I think it would do the same as the stocking idea too.

I had a sausage for morning tea and a hot dog for lunch today :sml2:

I got rid of my wall altogether so it forced people to make an effort to communicate with me via message. In the end almost nobody messages me now so that pretty much shows they weren't such good friends to begin with.

Don't give up yet Sam!!!

You could be here by now if you'd left when I invited you

What I don't like about facebook is how social people use it compared to non social people like me. I get essentially no contact from some members of my family unless I go to visit them on facebook because it has become some people's primary method of communicating. It would be handy for me if I was that sort of person but I'm not so I end up feeling excluded and worse than if I never had any contact with them at all hahaha....

Have a read about the privacy settings and account settings because things you post such as photos and comments can end up in full view of the world, or copied. Also, be careful what you post as the kids who bully you at school will possibly try to bully you there too. You can block people but I don't think it stops them sending private messages. I always think about whether I'd want everyone knowing what I post before I post it. It's good for sharing photos with people, and you restrict who can see them as well. I used facebook for quite a while, adding old school friends and the like, but after a while I found it draining. I am not that much of a sociable person really. :sml2:

If it perked up with the water and filter on I think it would have been shock and lack of oxygen. The original post reads as though you cleaned the outside of the tank... if that is the case, unless you sprayed detergent over the water surface then that wouldn't put toxins in the water.

I hope you didn't get drunk on rum chocolate :gigl:

nah they'll just get eaten most likely

Come along and eat sausages for a good cause!

how rummy is it? I don't usually like alcohol flavoured things other than alcohol.

This cat is not smiling

'We' haven't tried them yet.

heaps All the types are found in the 250g blocks, then a smaller range in the bags of mini bars, and in the slabs you get peanut, plain, berry/biscuit, hokeypokey, almond I think. I like how they've split the slabs into 4 pieces so it's easier to share or eat delicately, like a girl if you will.

One of the most interesting books I've read is A Short History of Nearly Everything by Bill Bryson. If you like science a little but not too much it's a good book. Very well written I thought. He talks about Evolution and the birth of our earth in such a way that even if it were a big accident, that it was still a humbling miracle in itself. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Short_Hi ... Everything

cats are such nosey parkers
