Wonder Why???

Post by Sandy » Thu May 20, 2010 9:10 pm

Why is it you work ALL afternoon, fragging, moving things around, cleaning filters, changing media, doing water change, give the tank one last look over to make sure you didn't forget something, then clean up the mess you made in the house from working on the tank, take all of the buckets and containers back out to the garage, and finally take a shower to get all of the salt and crud off of my body. I'm tired, my back hurts, and I am not cooking dinner (got accused of being on strike), I finally sit down to admire the beauty of the tank............. you have got to be kidding me,,,,,,, I get up and go look to see what has fallen off (you can tell cause there is a white spot on the rock sticking out like a sore thumb)....... one of my frags has been knocked off. Well dang, (that's not what I really said), it is just gonna have to stay where it is for now,,,, I refuse to do any more swimming in my tank tonight, I'm too tired, I'm hungry(leftovers suck by the way), and I have already washed the salt off. So there!!!

Why does that happen????

Okay,,,,, I'm stepping down off of the soap box for now.........

Wonder why ::: Everytime I go to Wal Mart and buy 100 tubes of Super Glue Gel and get back home and start moving frags around :x :x :x :x I run out of glue with just one frag left to glue.

Everyone needs to leave Wal-Mart and it's horrible selection of cyanoacrylate glues alone...go to the Hobby Shop in G-Port and you can buy the same glue (with a different label) in .5 oz, 1 oz, 2 oz, 4oz bottles and you can pick your viscosity preference. You can also buy the activator that makes it hard as rock in a few seconds.

Oh yeah, did I mention it's CHEAPER :mrgreen:
