This is more funny than crazy: Back in the days, I had molly babies who over night escaped from a floating nursery and roamed freely in my tank. I caught them all, then went to school. I was 30 min late, told the teacher straight out what the deal was. She looked at me and told me that that morning, her chicks had escaped from their pen without the hen. She came into work on time nevertheless, had to leave them roam until after school. But she had a smile on her face and I knew she wished she'd been a student and not the lady in charge, because then she'd also taken her time to catch them.

lol.....and you got the guts to tell the teacher what the real deal is. For that, i salute you!
Dixon - thats awesome bro. When i quit smoking , i got into gobbline insane amounts of food. Im glad you found a positive outlet than mine.

I did the food thing too i put on over 1 stone in weight and lost a lot of shape.
ot was worth it though
SO far:
Pulled an all nighter ( pretty radical
) changing the gravel in my oscars tank.
Drove 2-3 hours to get my 55g, than carry it up 4 flights of stairs, let it sit there empty for like 4-6 months ( temporary housing
) and in like 2 weeks i will have to carry it down another 4 flights of stairs.
Spent like 100$ on meds for ONE ( yes i said one ) fish, and the tank was small because it was QT

done that before.
ive told my parents that they could pick out the fish, knowing they would lose interest once we got to the lfs so i would be free to get what fish i wanted...
i havent done much else... will probably pull an all nighter if i decide to change the substrate though.

I do that like at every chance possible, but a lot of the time i am unsuccesful.
the day before yesterday i was and i saw a black aro for 300$ @ likd 10", but my stupid tank isnt setup plus its too small. But i have done that numerous times
I lie to my wife on a daily basis about how much stuff costs. She thinks everything I have cost exaxtly half as much as it really did and she still gets worried that I spend too much.
Also, about a year ago I had to get out of the hobby because my apartment manager was complaining of too much water use on my side of the building. I found this out on a friday and got news they were coming to inspect on thursday. I tore it all down and sold it all. a 29 a 55 and a 125. I waited a year (torture) and got a new 150. Now I take super short showers and don't use the dishwasher just to keep from arousing suspicion.

I've done 9-10 hours round trip (to sell fish)
called the fire department to see if they would help move a tank (not my idea but I called)
kicked my g/fs car out of the garage (under the house) to move my tanks downstairs
threw a party just so I could get enough people to my house to help move a fish tank (took 12+people)

me too!!!!!!! i lied that my datnoid was $15 but it really was $45 lmao. i would drive 5 hours at most to pick up a fish. to me too many fish is never enough for me!
LOL THIS!
Also, I just found out the foundation in my house is cracked. I live in like a 30 year old house, I'm not too sure if it was already like that, or I put too much stress on the house by having 4 aquariums in that one room.... I guess thats pretty crazy. Good thing I didn't set up my 190 yet.
