My ...I've never had much luck with fish either. My brother-in-law seems to do better...but it could be that's just due to the sheer number of fish and tanks that he has. Plus they keep reproducing.<br /><br />Highlight of my weekend was a round of Pizza Box Tic-Tac-Toe with the kids in the youth group (I volunteer). Instead of carrying the pizza boxes downstairs at the end of the night, the volunteers and anyone who is left because their parents have forgotten about them play tic-tac-toe by dropping the boxes from the balcony over the fellowship hall (which just so happens to have a stained concrete floor that's scored to look like it's big tiles).<br />We play "tops" vs "bottoms" rather than X's vs O's and, if someone is really feeling ambitious (or left out because they didn't get to play...again), they'll run down and bring the boxes back up for another round.<br />It's silly but it's also a whole lot of fun. And it means we never have to carry another pizza box downstairs every again. Woo-hoo!Ruehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12456593490517815755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6131409629757210790.post-106152550469035932010-03-23T10:05:54.706-07:002010-03-23T10:05:54.706-07:00Erin - I've had a hermit crab.

This is a death sentence for them when their owner doesn't know that tid bit of info, kept them in the kitchen (too warm it seems) so they die of dehydration because there is no new shell and they run out of water quickly when out of their shells. <br /><br />But if you know this, then, sure, they are mighty hardy!Unahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17812619293535500252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6131409629757210790.post-89666363897110883202010-03-23T09:06:49.984-07:002010-03-23T09:06:49.984-07:00Oh my gosh, I'm still giggling over your argum...Oh my gosh, I'm still giggling over your arguments.

Our turtle is still alive and I don't know what the heck it eats. I've tried everything: lettuce, strawberries, grapes, worms and the dang thing just sits there and lets the food rot. Maybe it eats through osmosis...or maybe it's trying to hurry it's life up so it can get out of our house. Sorry to be 'Debbie Downer' on your blog.

But it seemed to thrive even with the weekly neglect. <br /><br />If I were to attend a stripper show (which, will never happen) I'd definitely go to Thunder from Down Under.

The reason is because the person at the pet store told us that they don't like to be fed too much, the only like small cramped bowls. They like dirty water better than clean water and it's best just to leave them alone--the perfect fish for me! We had one live almost five years! <br /><br />Second, you accomplished the impossible--I look good in that photo. You all always look gorgeous, but I generally look like a fat, shiny weirdo--no, I'n not being falsely modest, it's just the truth. This one--we all look great.
