We decided to get rid of the evil fish today. When we woke up this morning, we found out the convict male had terrorized and hurt the female, so we had to isolate her. Then we decided we had enough, we brought them to a local fish store, and they gladly took them. We spent a good amount of time at the store choosing new tank residents.
We now have docile fish (ballerinas, angel fish, corys, loaches). I couldn’t stand the carnage any longer. Oh wait, what am I saying? The new fishies are feeding on convict babies now. Oh well… ...
Did I tell you about the fish drama here?
I’m traumatized! My boyfriend has a fish tank, and when I moved in with him there were about 7 fish in it; 2 oscars, 4 convict cichlids and a jaguar. All are aggressive little buggers.
A few days later, one of the oscars died because he was sick with some kind of skin disease. I didn't flush it, my BF did.
A couple of weeks after that, one of the female convicts died when BF cleaned the tank, and the fish got trapped under a rock, but we didn't notice. We just thought she ...
They have a new home, and they're looking good!

What are you proud of?
Of being strong enough to risk it in another country, even when things went wrong. Of how brave I ended up being to face the world on my own. Of having learnt two foreign languages and using them fluently. Of the person my parents made of me, of my capacity for compassion and love.

I think I have talked enough about the wonderful things my boyfriend does for me every day. This new domain is another one of them. Thank you, sweetheart! He not only got this for me, but transferred all my files, took care of my data bases, and had it up and running perfectly in less than 2 hours. I need one of those "I ♥ My Geek" T-Shirts.
After almost two years of living for free at Babs' website ('coz she's my cyber angel and I owe her BIG time), I decided it was time to wean. I can afford it ...
I had one of those uncomfortable conversations with my mother this morning. She has a view of the world I don't share, and she doesn't accept the fact that I can't see the world through her eyes all the time. Other than that, we love each other very much. But every time we disagree, I'm left with a bitter taste in my mouth. My mom means the world to me, and I can't help but feeling guilty after I get too passionate about the things I believe in. Anyway... That's what mothers and daughters do all the time.
The big deal ...
