In the 210 gallon tank, we have mollies. Mollies that practice unrestricted breeding. The only “birth control” with mollies is the fish not having the live babies, tend to eat about 1/2 of those that are born, leaving an average of 10-12 newborns alive. I’ve threatened for quite awhile to get a predator, just to slow [...]

And have it work, that is.
First off, follow the instincts you have about the cake batter. When the recipe calls for 3 ozs. of unsweetened chocolate, I used 5. I used 3 eggs, instead of 2. a little more flour, a touch more baking powder. Almost 40 minutes, instead of 30-35 minutes of baking time. [...]
I’m surprised

Actually, I’m shocked.
Reading the sites for McCain & Obama, specifically on the health issues present in this country now, if the 2 could be combined, the solution is there. One point I noticed on McCain’s site is he says he’s in favor of tort reform, to get rid of the “frivolous” lawsuits & the excessive [...]
I like it!

“Never get into a wrestling match with a pig,” Senator John McCain said in New Hampshire this month after reporters asked him about Mr. Romney. “You both get dirty, and the pig likes it.”
It’s 5:15 AM when I read this, & had to read it again to make sure I saw it correctly.

Dealing with the Department of Regulatory Agencies is no fun. But, sometimes, it’s not so bad.
I had to call them this morning, & while on hold, I was playing around on the website. I found they had Chris born in 1959. That’s just not right. So after I got through the VRU to an actual live person, I [...]

“Bush led with 259 false statements, 231 about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq and 28 about Iraq’s links to al-Qaida, the study found. That was second only to Powell’s 244 false statements about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq and 10 about Iraq and al-Qaida.”

Please shut Billy Mays up!!!
The other day, we had the TV on & there was a commercial for something that we had seen before. A ‘miracle’ rag that will absorb 20 times its own weight, or something like that. At the end of the spot, the spokesman states clearly “Beware of imitations”. The next commercial [...]

“President Bush on Friday embraced as much as $150 billion in tax relief, most of it for individuals, to jump-start the economy. He said the country would be “just fine” if Congress passes the stimulus.”

Hardly working! They are at the Marriott, supposed to be repairing a leak on a pump that gets water to the guest rooms.
At least I don’t have to worry about them wanting breakfast.
