Participant[quote=flu] … Also, petsmart gave me the fish after I told them the heater I bought from them killed by daughter’s fishes in the tank….[/quote]
Smooth move, flu. Most people would have been too caught up in the emotions of the situation to recognize such a lucrative opportunity.
[quote=eavesdropper] …So last week was fun… I went all around town looking for beta that looked almost identical to the ones my girl had before I cooked them. Ended up finding them at petsmart, though they look smaller and slightly different color…..Daughter noticed the fish were slightly smaller, and asked me about why are they smaller. I said, I don’t know, perhaps they are a little sick…[/quote]
That’s the problem with being smarter than the average bear: Genetics plays cruel tricks on you, and ensures that you have offspring who are similarly well-endowed with cerebral tissue. Her teens should an interesting period…

Jealous you were there![/quote]
I second that. has been following it peripherally all day.
so does the 250k attendance figure put out by the media sound about right?
sure beats the 87k from Glenn Beck.[/quote]
Was there also. Hard to tell because there were huge crowds everywhere, even gathered in groups of several hundred to a couple thousand in locations several blocks away from the event site. But I think that a 250K figure could have been within the realm of possibility, based on my observations. We got there at 1:00 and there were thousands of people walking AWAY from the rally, and this was several blocks away. They may have already been down there, or they may have been discouraged by the their inability to get anywhere remotely close to where the event was taking place. It really was extremely crowded at the event itself. If you got caught in the crowd down there, you weren’t getting out. If there had been any sort of event to engender panic, many deaths would surely have occurred.
Fortunately, nothing of this sort happened. We extricated ourselves from the crush, and took ourselves down past the area where the event was supposed to end, where there were fewer people. It was a beautiful day weather-wise, and people were great. There were no incendiary signs, and better than that, there were no bumper-sticker slogan exchanges. People were discussing topics about which they had actually given some thought, and it was great. My only real complaint about the event was that the audio sucked (I’m looking forward to Jon Stewart’s blackboard analysis of the proof that it was Glenn Beck’s revenge sabotage). But it felt great being there, and I’m very glad that I was fortunate enough to have been able to do so.

Participant[quote=flu][quote=walterwhite]Three cats and adog w bad hip dysplasia. Cheapest foodno medical care. My policy is if you get sick you either recover or die[/quote]
That to me sounds like Darwin survival of the fittest in practice. You know when my daughter’s fish got sick 6 months ago, I ended up spending like $40-50 on antibiotics. Friends just told me I should have flushed the sick ones down the toilet and bought new ones at $3/fish. Somehow, I just couldn’t do it….[/quote]
I’m guessing there are no aquatic life death panels at your house, flu.
Your actions demonstrate a complete absence of the involvement of rational thought processes. But, as a woman and as a mom, I’m really touched by what you did for your little girl (I guess that hormonal glitch is why there are still so few of us broads in CEO positions…..). What a good dad you are!
Okay, I just gotta ask. Did the fish survive?
