Those are beautiful, Artie!

A custom pony contest has started on another site. I want to enter it but I have prior customs to finish. I'm almost done with two out of three. The third I am having difficulties with. He has very complicated and detailed clothing. I've never really sculpted clothing like this. But I'm hoping to finish the two soon so I can start on a pony for the contest.

My snails are nerite O-ring patterned. I was going to get sun spikes, but they were from California and I didn't think they'd survive the trip. I'd like to get three more of a different pattern. Nerite snails don't breed in fresh water so I don't have to worry about that. I have a lot of algae and diatoms in my tank, so they have plenty to eat. They liked the shrimp food I put in too. The shrimp are doing well so far :)

What made me smile today though... I was watching videos of pet dart frogs (I think they are awesome and want to get some some day), one video was a compilation of frogs eating. Michael Jackson's Beat It started playing and I thought okay. But I was wrong. It was Weird Al's Eat It. It made me laugh so hard XD I haven't listened to Weird Al in a long time, so after the frog video I looked him up on YouTube and there's a playlist of his best songs. I got through three of them and had to stop because I was laughing too much. I forgot how funny the videos are.

I sat in my desk chair today, the chair I bought earlier this year, and slowly sank. The gas lift has something wrong with it. I watched a few videos on how to fix it and I'm hoping that the easiest one will work. I need to turn it upside down overnight. The theory is that the lubricating oil inside the cylinder has settled to the bottom. Next to that is getting some oil and replacing it manually. After that, it gets more difficult to fix. So I really hope the first option works.

Also these damn bugs. I watered my plants from the bottom. Taffeta, I did end up putting them in the sink with shallow water and left them there for a few hours to soak it up. I have no food out. Aster ate all her wet food breakfast and the bowl has been washed. They are still flying around my face wherever I go. They are attracted to the light from my PC monitor and fish tank, so they are constantly buzzing the area. I am so sick of dealing with them. The only good news is that the sticky plant spikes don't have a huge amount on them, so they are getting down in numbers.

They power washed the outside of all the buildings today. They used bleach. I hate the smell of bleach. It gives me a headache and makes me nauseous. The smell woke me up from a nap I desperately needed. To make it worse, when they washed my door, because of the gap underneath, some water got inside and got my little mat wet. My little mat that is brown. So now it will probably get bleached spots. I told maintenance about the gap but they said they didn't have any weather stripping to fix it. I might just buy some and fix it myself.

What else? I'm in a lot of pain. I always take my pain meds with dark soda, either Dr. Pepper or Pepsi and I'm out of both with no money to get more. So I felt the meds weren't as effective, but maybe it was placebo. Either way, I'm still in a lot of pain.

I've come across this too. A lot of Argies have this problem. I think it's a manufacturing defect, like regrind.

I don't think it's harmful, but I don't think it's fixable either.

^ I tend to agree. I think the distribution is bad too. When I was buying the Mini Lifestyles from Amazon I bought 4 each about 3 times. I got so many of the same. I sold them on eBay and made my money back. I was very disappointed and I'm in my forties. Imagine how disappointed a child would be. I never thought about it being like gambling, but you're right, it is. And gambling in the US is banned in so many states, but these are fine? Bah.

:hug: I'm sorry about your dog. You gave her a great life :hug:

Your dad sounds so much like mine! My dad's thing was the garage. He was always moving things around and "organizing" them and none of it was his. One year he buried all the holiday decoration bins in the back and piled other bins and boxes in front of them. Me and my sister got so mad and we refused to dig them out. So whenever there was a holiday my dad would ask why we weren't decorating and we had to remind him that he buried the bins and made them impossible to get out.

My mom got rid of all of our VHS too. It was after I moved out, otherwise I would have taken them. We had most original Disney Clamshells including The Little Mermaid with the willy tower :lol: A lot of the VHS were box sets too, and those are so hard to find now and really expensive. I was upset she got rid of them.

My 2 liter of Pepsi that I just opened a day ago is flat already.

I asked to join a group on Facebook and got a message that I was approved, but when I go to the group it says the admins are still reviewing my request and I can't post. It's a Frasier TV show fan group.

I think my baby shrimp are dead :(
