The other day I went to the pet store because one of my friends decided that he needed a goldfish. I scoffed at the idea, but upon arriving at said pet store, and gazing into the tank for a few minutes, I became entranced with a little loveable scamp that I promptly named Spanky. He looks like this--black with little bug eyes.
I had already picked out the tank I planned to purchase when I noticed that Spanky was looking a littled peaked. He was clearly one of those fish that dies within 24 hours of getting home. I got really depressed and went home. But I can't stop thinking about Spanky. He's probably dead by now, but I am thinking about getting a Spanky2. I'm not sure if I can handle that kind of responsibility, though. What a tough decision I am facing.
actually i had a fish like that. i bought him along with 10 other fish, and they all died within the week but he went strong for almost a year. then one day i noticed that his water was brown and he was dead.
so i tossed him on the grill and dined like a king.

Fran | January 16, 2003 7:32 PMI slipped you a roofie.
Lina | January 16, 2003 7:28 PMBut Lina...that wasn't me.
Fran | January 16, 2003 7:27 PMOnly when you lick my toes in my sleep.
Lina | January 16, 2003 7:25 PMBut you liked it when I curled at the foot of your bed like a large and misshapen dog, didn't you?
Fran | January 16, 2003 7:22 PMIf aloe heals burns what happens when you cook aloe? Does it heal itself?
Michael | January 16, 2003 4:50 PMtry a plant. an aloe plant. you'll have a tough time killing that, and you can use it to heal scalding burns...
ernster | January 16, 2003 1:20 AMI'm allergic to cats, and anything else that might try to curl up in my lap. That's why I don't live with Fran anymore.
Lina | January 15, 2003 11:57 PMI kill plants, never mind fish.
I prefer cats, much more self-reliant, and they curl up in your lap.
Amend | January 15, 2003 10:55 PMpeace.
Lina, I miss you.

gina | January 15, 2003 3:21 PMI've always loved the idea of getting a HUUUUGE tank and having 50 or more neon fish (I'm sure they have a proper name) cos when they’ve got the space they shoal, and that is just too cool.
...fear of death, on mass, is the only thing that prevents me. That and choosing names? Stripy 1, Stripy 2...
