fish segregation

Yesterday my son, Max and I went to Pets Mart to buy fish. We have a 30 gallon tank and one lone fish left alive. We noticed there were several tanks of mollies and platys. They were $1.00 each if you buy 10. cool. So we asked the attendant for 5 orange/black ones, five white ones, five dalmation ones and five black ones. The attendant said we couldn't buy the black ones with the other ones. We thought he was joking, but he said the black mollies were bullies and they did not play well with others :).

We ended up buying 10 white ones and 10 orange/black ones. The attendant put them all in the same bag and we took them home. When it was time to release them into our tank, all of the white mollies went to one end of the tank and all of the orange/black platys went to the other side of the tank.

A comment on abortion.

I don't understand the term "pro-choice". It seems to me that having sex is the "choice" and the resulting pregnancy is the consequence. I've always understood that a person is free to make their own choices, but consequences are attached to those choices whether we like it or not.

match box pendants

Look at these outstanding matchbox pendants! I learned how to do this from the fabulous Penni Jo Couch and I've taken it and made it my own.

I've just started a Flickr site. Check me out. This is a picture of the matchboxes the group made. My pendants are on my site.

I normally hang these on necklaces. I charge $2.00 for the pair. I also make them in several different colors.

This is a peacock pin and this is a charm. The tail feathers were made from the same cane.
