[anji1971]

For me, Saturday is my "Monday". I start work early, and spend the entire afternoon grocery shopping and running errands. It's seldom a fun day.
Mondays, however, the salon is closed, so I don't have to work. Today I'm baking Christmas cookies all day, so the house will smell all yummy, and it's even decided to snow a bit for me. YAY!

Now there is a smell I miss

Dorothy's idea of baking is taking the freezer queen out of the box

[anji1971]

I absolutely love baking! For the holidays I end up with six or seven kinds of cookies, and anywhere from 6 to 10 dozen of each. I'm at the point where there are 5 kinds of cookies that it's mandatory I bake, or people will hunt me down and kill me.
And silly me throws in a new one every year just to see how they go over, so I can expect the "must bake" list to increase each holiday!

not that I normally bake, but I must make brownies for the rescue this week

there a tiny spider making it's way across the window sill next to the computer and I love how it has just one leg sticking back, against the thread whenever the terrain changes (objects) and it might need to rappel

Drache did not come back yesterday
the vet did bring him to White Plains, but forgot to bring his meds, and ended up taking him back
since I wasn't there, I didn't even get to see him, but apparently he's doing well
the doc took a culture from the most recent abscess and switched him to a different antibiotic
so I'll get him next weekend

Good news about Drache Rhea

Just popped in to say that I am so sick of reading about guppies! The only thing that keeps me reading is my fear of killing them all... well, they're mostly feeders anyway, but it would be nice to not kill all the pregnant females due to some stupid error on my part. The whole tank cycling bit has me a worried cause there's not a lot I can do to effect the outcome. By the time dangerous amonia/nitrite(?) levels are reached there will likely be fry in the tank too... who knows??? Gonna take a break and clean my house or something! lol

[drache]

have you tried using a product like "Cycle" by Hagen, or - hm . . .
that's the one I used to use, but other companies make stuff like it - beneficial bacteria to help the cycling
makes a huge difference

[jitami]

Thanks Rhea! I'll look for it! I'm so new to this that I have no clue what's even available out there. I'm assuming it's safe to add with the fish? Picking up fish on Thursday, so ready or not, they'll be here in 72 hours.

just remembered
the people who make stress coat make some stuff called stress zyme
