I know we had a girl and my Mother N Law lived upstairs. I built a Mother Daughter house.
Here are my whiteworms. They are eating dry cat food but their incessant "Meowing" is annoying.
Today I opened a box that I have not seen since I moved here almost three years ago. I found DVDs from many years ago and one of them was our Daughters graduation from high school.
My wife and I rented out the "New York Aquarium" in Brooklyn New York for the surprise party.
We surprised her...
Thats very nice of you Paulie. I hope someone closer helps as I don't want to put you through that long ride. I am not going to change them until the spring.
How to tell if a marine creature is dying of old age.
(I posted this a few years ago, no one has to believe it or tell me it is not a scientific study, ask me where I got my facts, who did I correspond or collude with and what makes me an expert. So if you feel you need to argue with me about...
I'm sure I put this on here someplace. If you read it, go and watch Oprah. :cool:
Thinking outside the box
Unfortunately there is this box. It is very comfortable and warm inside the box which is why almost everyone wants to stay and think inside the box. People inside the box all have much...
I used to have small lights underwater in the caves. There was no silicone in those days that I remember so I sealed the connections with wax. (this was in the fifties) The lights were from old flashlights. Electricity leaked into the water and made bubbles. That is also how I got the idea for...
I went to my boat yesterday to winterize it. I have two engines. I went to start the first engine, stone dead. Just barely a click.
I started the other engine no problem. I have a switch that jumps out all three batteries for an emergency and the dead engine started.
I bought all three...
I made a gym for my wife and I got her this Palaties Reformer machine. She has trouble using the thing because her right leg doesn't move so she "forced" me to use it just now and I found out why they call it a "Reformer". It should be called a "Reinforcer".
It looks innocuous enough with all...
I let the water run slowly into their container for a while then pour the whole thing into a course fish net. Run water over it then let it crain and "slightly" squeeze it to get out excess water.
Then I dump it into their container after I washed it and it looks like this. This also...
Don't put them in the blender, they turn into mush. Get the biggest live clams you can find. Open them slightly and stick something in the shell to make it easier to open them frozen.
Freeze them and slice off paper thin slices with a sharp knife. Put the rest back in the freezer.
Get some...
In the 2000s a neurobiologist researcher in Ireland was studying gut microbes on the brain and how they and stress affected mental and gut health.
I don't want to bore everyone more with all this research but in short it was found that stress also affects gut microbes and gut microbe health can...
Why Fish In Captivity Get Sick
As some people may know I have been talking about how my fish have never gotten sick in decades and I have been offered many reasons why such as I am Lucky or my tank has some mysterious creature that eats parasites, my Undergravel sucks up parasites and diseases...
I am pretty sure I have found the smoking gun on almost all fish diseases including ich, velvet, etc and why fish in captivity sometimes don't eat including why my fish and fish in many tanks "never" get sick no matter what.
I am starting to write an article which may take me a few days as I...
I am putting this on my thread because I am to old to argue and I know no one will read it.
Fish Health
I just don't get it and I know I never will. This hobby seems so simple but many of us, for some reason make it hard. I know I am in the vast minority but there is so much fish diseases on...
