I've learned that I have really missed my home away from home, even if I haven't been missed

I've also learned that even when you think someone finally gets the fact and will remember when you say, the computer is broken...you find out that they weren't listening the million and a half times you said it]:|

I've also learned that I guess I won't be filling in the job applications online like I planned because I don't want to stand at the computer for 2 hrs a pop to get them done

I've also learned that it is great to have some buddies out here that don't mind you calling to ask them how many tablespoons are in a cup, and even if it drives their people friends crazy it was nice to hear a human voice, versus that of the dvd/cd player

no i'm not back, maybe in a week:#( heidi

I just learned like in 15 minutes or so that I have got to reseal my 55 gallon tank so I can get it going, so that I can use it as a hospital type tank]:|

Why? I've got to take all my fishies out of the 125 and do salt dips on them to rid myself of leeches:#(and then I have to drain the whole flipping tank and sterilize it, anyone want some gravel? I'm gonna throw it at people who make me mad, all 150 lbs of it]:|

I'm going home to cry...heidi

(((Heidi)))

I learned today that computers can leave unwelcome traps even for the experienced. And that my cable modem will still keel over sometimes even though I bought a desk fan to keep it cool. Primarily because the nice people who provide my internet service are piddling about with their servers, but, ahem, they sort of 'forgot' to tell the customers that this was happening, and so boom, there went my Java Development Kit download (which of course keeled over after I'd downloaded 118 megs out of 119 ...).

I also learned that Panda Corys are far more reliable than any computer on the planet. Because they've decided that I need cheering up, and have done so by launching into spawning number 84. Mata Hari is leaving a trail of exhausted, gasping suitors in her wake

The other day I learned that someone will call you out of the blue and ask you fishy questions... and how many tablespoons are in a cup. And that I actually knew. *hugs heidi* You have NO idea how nice it was to hear your voice! And of COURSE I missed you... my two best gals are MIA and you don't think I missed you?! Between you and stormy, I'm feeling all lost and confuzzled!

Today I learned that it's REALLY boring to sit through a class on boating rules and regulations when you already KNOW the answers. I hate that MI sheriff deputy people decided (after four YEARS) that our original licenses weren't good enough and we have to take a six hour course, with the test being a week from today. Stupid people.

I discovered that yet another of my panda cories is looking poorly. I don't know why and I'm getting fairly peeved about the whole deal. I don't care HOW cute they are, I'm not getting anymore. I've had enough of losing the poor lil things. I'll stick to other cories now.

I think my eldest betta girl (one of the two left from my original group) isn't going to last much longer. She looks kind of iffy and spends most of her time resting (to the point of me making sure she's still amongst the living).

I've found my betta girls will pick at the cucumber I dropped into the tank for the BN. They've never shown interest before.

I've also decided that cories are one of my favorite fish... I was laughing over their antics when I dropped in a few bottom feeder wafers and sinking shrimp pellets... had to nearly pry myself away from the tank to continue cleaning up the house.

~Meow. Thus spoke the cat.~

I've learned a couple of things...

1) I got some photoshop mail in the snail mail
2) It is only going to cost $150 roughly to fix my laptop, and I'll have it back tomorrow or Wednesday
3) The lfs I like close by has added so much new stuffes it's unbelievable that they can fit it all into the space they have...and they have hired one of my favorite guys from another lfs and it makes it wonderful
4) Also 15 minutes online at a time stinks bbs

5) Learned that the computers where you can sit down are not meant for adults, we are to stand up

6) That you have to be really nice to the librarian to use said computer (might be I have on a school t-shirt) and then they might let you back on, but she won't do it again:#(

7) I want my computer back!!!

I learnt that it is best to keep your mouth shut at work about work.

I learnt that people you think you know and can trust aren't always the right people to trust and in fact you don't know them at all.

i learnt that people look out for you in unexpected places.

feeling betrayed is not good. THe universe is constantly teaching me lessons but i sure DO NOT like this one.

Heidi Good luck with every thing! and every one who is moving best of luck!

i learned that relationship issues are a very good way to reconnect with one's family. i have talked to both my parents more over the past couple months than i have over the past two years also, i've learned that it is very nice to have friends who are supportive and caring enough to try to cheer me up when i need it.

I learned that guys are worse slobs than I thought they were. I just went over to our wood shop at work to see my brother, he asked me to price out some lumber for him and I was instantly covered with oil when I grabbed onto the phone. The foreman started laughing as I'm screaming foul language... and then he tells me that someone dropped it into an oil spill. Of course noone CLEANED IT OFF!

I learned that even after being on certain medications for quite a while side effects can stop, or new ones can start, good or bad :%)

I learned that there are new trains on the Metro that don't have the ugly orange seats (it's been a while )

I learned that alternating toenail colors hot pink and orange makes for a good summer look

I learned that some of my kids would rather have carrot cake for their birthdays than chocolate

And I learned that Hershey is now making cookies, including Reese's which are absolutely fantastic, especially frozen

Heidi,
I saw an article, I can't remember where, this guy is making glasses that attatch to facial piercings. You know, the little barbells through your eyebrow and the bridge of your nose.
