Oh come on, Silky. It won't hurt. I promise.

[Slinky_Bass]

Oh come on, Silky. It won't hurt. I promise.
LOL, I know it won't hurt, you're as gentle as a kitten I'm sure, until someone calls you a 'he' and you wrestle them into submission ;D

[Lady Hobbs]

That doesn't work with William tho. He still calls me a He.

I'm here unfortunetly not much help to you guys.

Do you mean your knowledge when it comes to fish? Just stick around and you will learn a ton. I learned a lot when i first came to this site. As of 1 year ago i had almost no aquarium knowledge

[NorthernBoy]

You can't be sick now. What will Santa Claus think. I don't want you to be sick. (hobbs is blowing nose, crying, sad now)

[Lindsay_D]

i know a couple of people thats had the sniffles and what i call the "uuuuhhhggg" syndrome. Its when the can't do anything...not even stop going "uuuhhhggg....i hate being sick"....LOL

glad your better now

[Severus]

Im still here. But you know who isnt... Full3R. Where has he been lately? Anyone hear anything from him?

[Lindsay_D]

your right...i haven't heard anything...talk to william...he and full3r are wicked tight

[Severus]

yea, i wonder where he went

[Lindsay_D]

So how is everyone? Whats going on lately...

I still don't have a car and i got fired for not having one

[Lady Hobbs]

People are busy especially this month except ol hobbs here who has done NOTHING yet. Of course it doesn't help to be pitch dark out at 5 PM. I hate the time change in the winter months and wish they'd leave it alone.

[Lindsay_D]

I wish the winter didn't bring any cold...I hate the cold so much! I can't wait to go back to California and no snow!

[Severus]

I dont mind the winter, i like snow. Although lately it has been like 60 degrees here in NJ

[Lindsay_D]

you stink....i wish it was 60right now...so unfair...

Ho hum..

[Severus]

hahha. I guess that is the price you pay for being up north. You want have to worry about that when you are in california, unless you are up near washington

[Lindsay_D]

no i'm moving back to san diego near the border.

i used to be able to throw a rock into mexico...

I miss my family thats out there and the heat

[Severus]

Yea that will be a big change. Good luck with all that

[Lindsay_D]

i don't leave till june because i have to go to my graduation.

Us seniors get out in May but graduate in June.

[Incredulous_Ed]

Hey, it's actually been 45 degrees at night here in sd so really, it's colder than you might expect.
Of course, everybody else in sub zero weather must be laughing at me.

[Lindsay_D]

i think its about 20 or something because it sure as H feels like it

[Incredulous_Ed]

does it snow in MA?

[Lindsay_D]

yeah everywhere...i live on Cape Cod and we got some bad snow like two years ago....It was like five feet on my driveway...it was only because we had a bad drift...but yeah it snows a lot down here. This year we only had one day of snow.

Last year it snowed DATD (<~Day after Turkey Day)....HAHA

[Severus]

It hasnt snowed here yet (NJ), hopefully it will soon. I need to make some extra $$$

[Abbeys_Mom]

It has only snowed once here this winter, it entirely up heard of. It's been beautiful for December. Instead of the usual -1 to -7C, It's been as warm as +12C this last week. Looks like it will be a green Christmas this year.

[Lindsay_D]

I don't know what to talk about anymore after that whole contorversy about what Chatterbox really is

[crackatinny]

Here is Aus we are in the middle of that annual xmas heatwave, 35-45 Celcius, whatever that converts to.

[Slinky_Bass]

Well, were not quite at heat wave status here yet, but I haven't had my heater on for a month now and my temp has been sitting nicely at 28 C.

Crackatinny: thats hot! I just clicked that you're working in celcius not farenheight, how are you keeping your fishies cool?

[crackatinny]

With the airconditioner on during the day and the heaters turned down they have been keeping a steady temp of about 80F

[Lady Hobbs]

Green Christmas this year in Mi it looks like, too. I don't care much what it does as long as there is sunshine. Snow is lovely with the sun shining off it but then, not quite as nice as green. It's the snowing, blowing, freezing and ice I hate.

[jman]

Man i been waiting for snow hear in MD but it hasn't come. What is a Christmas without snow?

[Severus]

I dont think there is gonna be any snow in NJ either. The weather guys my predict it to get everyone hyped up but it wont be more than a few flurries if it even does snow

[jeffs99dime]

remember last year? we got about three feet of snow in 1 day. that was cool!

[Severus]

I do remember that. That was awesome. We need something like that again this year.

[crackatinny]

You blokes are really teasing now

I would love a white XMAS

In my 38yrs I have seen it snow just twice in my hometown, both times in June, The 1st time it melted before it hit the ground (but still an unreal sight, the second time, you could have measured the cover with a micrometer, but again STUNNINg

[jeffs99dime]

we sure do!

we really did get 3 feet of snow in one day last year. it was crazy!

[NorthernBoy]

Here comes the snow and ice. At least here in the Mid West. Time to buy some soup and hot cocoa. I love the snow:4:

[Abbeys_Mom]

If I had some snow (which is crazy, I'm in CANADA!) I would gladly spread it around. We were counting on there being snow at my in-laws ( they are in an area called "the snow belt") and even they don't have snow. I feel awful that my daughter has been practicing making snow angels for nothing.

[jman]

hahaha Snowmount no snow

[jeffs99dime]
