There is a number of issues here:

For instance, medicines used to treat adults may not be very good for the developing fetus, so its best not get sick.

Also, some study suggest high fever(flu) during pregnancy increases risk of autism; so that's another incentive not to be so risky.

err....

I'm guessing you opened the package already so it must not have contained a bomb.....

 

[ecoli73]

hehe...

I just thought it funny(even funnier now I looked at it and it was an earlier package(April)) I guess I opened the wrong email). Our shipping department once had an employee who I suppose(never talk about religion at work) was a recent convert to Islam. He changed his name to Beautiful Allah.

A very nice person to talk to but his name presented a challenge for me...I don't call men Beautiful nor I feel comfortable calling him Allah...

I think he is no longer with the company, that's why I was confused why his name was still on the sign off slip.

That package was a 2262, this time I got 5 driftwood pieces and some food items. I need to build some shelter for my loaches and smaller fish away from the attention of my 2 8-inch oscars.

I remember you talking about that filter a short while ago,where did you order it from?....I will refrain from any further comments about that former employee and his choice of religion.

 

[ecoli73]

I stand corrected again...I actually ordered the filter from a vender from amazon. I ordered the bucket(s) of matrix from ken's fish(that's why it was 28 lbs).

I have 3 2262s in my system now...I have plans to add one more by end of the year(then I will be out of space)

Oh...It was cooked. I don't usually do fat cuz, well, its fat... but the bites I did eat melted like butter. It was pretty much amazing! But steak needs to be bloody. Mike even got me into pink burgers now.



That's kind of not OK in my book....Unless you're going to use it to prank mom....but even that is a little sadistic for my taste.....Yikes.....



Oh, Kaosu, why can't you eat red meat with the parasite? Is it like fish or something?

i can eat red meat just has to be cooked all the way threw sadly, no raw fish due to bacteria on it same goes for other meats.

 

[Kaosu]

how far along are you? I thought if you can feel it that much it'd be big enough to tell

18 weeks on Thursday I can get the gender any time now just waiting on my appointment ^_^

Shaking my head at your biology knowledge
The baby shares everything with the mother which means it will have the same immune system lol

Yeah.....cuz the fetus has the strength to fight off infections the same as her 20+ year old mother?

This is correct - there are allot of foods I cannot eat. When you are pregnant your body dampens your immune system so i am at a higher risk of infection, sickness and bacteria. i cant eat deli meat, many types of fish, raw or uncooked meats of any kinds, I have to be super careful to was all fruits and veggies, no cleaning cat boxes.

there's only "so much" cleaning that nitrifying filtration can do in a system. If I already had 3 2262's, I'd fill the next canister with Purigen so it would remove nitrates (plus ammonia & nitrites) & reduce your need for water changes. all BB filters are gonna do is produce nitrates, in the end.
Better yet, put in an auto-change water system.
