    State of the Union Address...What you think?

    I like to stick as close to the middle as possible when it comes to politics (although I am a registered rebublican), but last night was pretty bad. It seemed like The Prez went out of his way to play the blame game - his campaign centered around change we can believe in, but it's still the...

    The GF got kittens... so I got a bigger Tank - My 75 Build

    They're probably about 5-6 mos old now, so not quite kittens, but not quite adults

    The GF got kittens... so I got a bigger Tank - My 75 Build

    I built the whole thing with the help of my uncle (he is a builder and has an amazing shop above his garage) and my step-father.

    The GF got kittens... so I got a bigger Tank - My 75 Build

    His "Best" quality is that he will walk into another room and start crying as loud as he can. He stops as soon as you walk into the room and pet him. We've figured out that he just wants to be in that room and he thinks that you should be there to pet him. He also likes to jump on door frams...

    The GF got kittens... so I got a bigger Tank - My 75 Build

    The 75 is as big as I'll go until I buy a house and can have an inwall tank. Any bigger than this and it will be tough to move. And since I want to be out of Ohio by the end of this year, I nead a manageable tank.

    The GF got kittens... so I got a bigger Tank - My 75 Build

    The birds nest and monti and manderin just went in yesterday a few hours before these shots. Thanks Nissan, I really like the look of the wood stand extending past the tank, plus with the top off and power center, I needed the extra room.

    The GF got kittens... so I got a bigger Tank - My 75 Build

    This tank has only been up since December - I'm going to try to get about 3 more months out of the stock bulbs unless I see little to no growth or health issues. Thanks for looking guys/gals.

    I really need to get a DSLR camera to take better shots, but I can't bring myself to spend the $$$. Anyway - here are my corals, I'll try to take similar shotes every month so that I can have a bit of a growth log. Photos 1-21-2010 Purple Brush Gorg: Pineapple Favites Brain: GSP's: Hammer...

    The GF got kittens... so I got a bigger Tank - My 75 Build

    My 40 gal wasn't big enough, so I decided to start a 75. My Girlfriend wanted kittens and I said that I would allow it as long as I could get the 75. I didn't take too many pictures during construction, but I can tell you that the stand is a 2 x 4 construction with Aspen pannels. I think that...

    Health care fiasco

    Have you ever met a teacher that is happy about their pay scale? The ones that get the higher raises are still not happy. Teachers with higher education start off with better paying jobs. Someone with a masters is payed more than someone with a bachelors right off the bat, now if that person...

    Health care fiasco

    I'm not really sure how to respond other than to say that it's the America that we live in. If you don't go to college you are going to have a harder time moving up in the ranks. To your point, I don't believe college makes you better than anyone, but it gives you a large base to start from to...

    One more thing - I don't think that white collar > Blue collar. I think that the US screwed up big time when they allowed so much blue collar work go overseas, but along your train of thought that "the world needs ditch diggers too," do you think that ditch diggers should be as well off as...
