Tom, Jerry, Tribs. I know your out there.

I hope Tom didn't get in trouble last night. You know what can happen when you go to the mall without your woman with you. Toss and reel can get real scarey sometimes...........

Morning lone ranger...I'm off to visit my daughter's future college, so I'm up earlier than I would be on a Sat. Have a beautiful day, everyone...It's foggy and rainy in the Poconos today. :-(

Happy Saturday! :-)

Good Morning Patrick & Donna!:-)
I'm here...not quite here...I didn't sleep well AT ALL...BUT today is a new day!:-)
Cliff is doing well, he's still breathing and eating...but then he just goes and lays on the bottom of his bowl. I think he's just a lazy fish! Very odd

Hey why don't you get another one in a different bowl and see how he acts. Maybe Cliffy is lonely.

That's very cool, Freddie! I've had him for over a year and he's never done this...maybe a little catfish would perk him up!! I'm always afraid to put another fish in with him, because I don't have good luck with other fish. They always have a disease and die right away. Cliffy Clifferson I, II & III have all done well alone & lived for 3-4 years, til now...

DON'T put another fish in with him! Another one in a different bowl, that he can see, is a good idea, might help him to escape the boredom and get some exercise swimming back and forth trying to figure out how to get at the other fish :-) I expect you kow, putting them in the same bowl will destroy one of them for sure.

I like the idea of taking him to work. It would be like one of those days when kids shadow a parent at work to learn about potential careers. You coud have a budding fish artist there. Water Color of course.

Seeing another male can also stress one of the two fish out to the point of death. Not good either. Does he have plants? They are top level fish. We had a live floating plant, cannot remember the name of it right now, that my little guy used to love to play with. Also, if you just changed him from an aquarium to a bowl, what water did you use? Did he start acting funny after you moved him?

I know not to put another Betta in with him, I was thinkin' of a catfish in the aquarium with him...I don't know...
Here he is...
Cliffy Clifferson III
the water is not cloudy, that's my fingerprints from carrying him around with me:-)

Morning from the Left Coast :-)
The sun is just coming over the trees and it is going to be a stupendous weekend here. Last night was our first real night enjoying the patio until the wee hours. Sorry Tribs but you're more than welcome to come here :-)
I'm off to the gym and then Trader Joe's. I've got to make an appetizer and a dessert for a party this afternoon - WooHoo!!!

PS- maybe Cliffy is just worn out from being carried around - or the leash is too tight???

Gotta run!! Have a terrific day U2ing and all!!!

We went for a simple walk around the lake last night...that was our only intention...and a couple down the street had a little neighborhood party going on and called us over...next thing I knew it was 12:30 and we were dancing and had imbibed a tad too much. lol Blew our beach plans to smithereens. Ah well, there's always next weekend and maybe the water will be a tad warmer. 87 for today, then a cold front moves in and the temps drop to the 70's. So I'm going to enjoy the 87 today in the pool. :-)

Have a great day everyone!
(Sorry 'bout the snow Tribs :-()

Morning all,

Easy on the Nyquil, Jerry. Wouldn't want you to be found dace down on a bicycle seat. The weather here has reverted back to cold and wet after 74 yesterday. Chance of the "S" word later tonight. Mercy!

Errands and chores and then ??? tonight.

Hi Everyone! Just got back from doing a job and am off to walk 2 miles and hope I don't get caught in the rain as it is off and on here today. Don't know what else after that.

Jerry, I had that cold you got last week. Augh! It was the pits, but second week it is almost gone, but now I got allergies kicking in, so fun never ends here.

Debbie, I've had that crud since we got back from Texas. Now I'm on antibiotics:-(

Tribs, when I lived in DC, my most memorable moment was April 7th, it snowed! that is just NOT right!

We are going to Avalon for the day. A coworker from the Atlanta office is in town and she's never been...so we will be here in nice sunny warm weather...

Boom...when's the right coast meet this year? I need out of here. :-) Seriously though, I'd like to make one of the coast meets this year. Just depends on when they fall.

The good thing, I took my nap, woke up and the snow had stopped and nothing stuck to the ground. We are expected to get more snow, but I am somewhat happy as of now.

I do that all of the time NESW: Never Eat Soggie Wheaties. Geeze. Actually I'm interested in both. Whichever one works with my schedule, myself and a little birdie are going to try to make.

I'm sorry about Michael's grandmother. But wow! How amazing for her to be on this earth for 89 years. Do you know how much change and progress she witnessed? What a lucky woman!

I did hold Cliff up to the mirror before I left, then I dropped him and he went right down the sink drain!! Just kidding! He was in his bowl, and from Jerry's recommendations, he should now be in Great Fishbowl in the Sky!!!LOL
