I wonder if I can sue GEO because I went off roading in my metro when I was younger and they didn't tell me it wasn't a four wheel drive vehicle and only meant for driving on roads..........

With our court system, you would probably win. :notsure:
You can break into someone's house and get hurt, then sue them for having an unsafe house.

or how about the guy that sued GM, or some big car company because he put on his "auto drive" (i.e. cruise control), and then turned around and began to do stuff in his back seat and crashed because the auto drive didn't steer for him. He said it never explained in the owner's manual that it doesn't actually drive the vehicle for you. The judge laughed at him, and basically said that if you're that dumb you shouldn't be driving anyway...

JD, I have seen a web sight that teaches how to dry out your dead fish/starfish and put them in a shadowbox and hang them on display. Now THAT'S an addict!
Now your all thinking what a wonderful idea it is and if you can do it...


Tizzo, what's that website?
That sounds like an awesome idea! :happyfish

I'm addicted to this hobby like its crack.
I drove 5 hours for new fish and corals.
Im always on this site.
I wake up and look at my tank first thing.
I loose sleep if i see one spot of ich.
My christmas list was :
RO UNIT.
Corals.
I work in the digital imaging department at best buy, and there are pictures of my fish tank everywhere.
People ask me to hangout just to come look at my tank.
Christmas is a bust because my pump is leaking :( ... (thank goodness i can make it into a internal pump (which i did) )
You know your addicted when your myspace has pictures of your fish tank...
which mine does ;)

60-80 dollars on food for fish a week while not impossible, most likely is false based off what I remember what AW2 has. I could be wrong however.......but I doubt he eats Ramen and Mcdonalds dollar menu due to his fish habit. See my point.

The $60 - $80 a week, is correct. Just depends on how often I feed my Morays. Sometimes it's per week, sometimes it's every 2 weeks.
And, eating Ramen and the McDonalds dollar menu has happened as well, because of spending too much money on the hobby. lol

Actually, my girlfriend is AmandaL, here on saltwaterfish. She loves fish just as much as I do and she has the tank I envy...a GORGEOUS 75gal. reef.

I actually did this when I moved into my new house

...when you walk around your house/apartment lookin at your furniture deciding what is necessity to make room for your tank, or future tanks...

When you get rid of a 20 year old microwave on a cart...that still works to make room for a fish tank....in the dining room. I now have 3 fish tanks in my dining room and 5 in my living room.
Sick...I have wall to wall fish tanks in my house. I am nutz, and other people and family really think I am nuts. But I thank God for my husband, he is a sweetheart and he lets me get almost any animal I want. How many husbands would put up with this circuis of 8 fish tanks on the main floor, unless they were a fish geek too.
I am the main geek, but I think he isn't too far behind me. :happyfish
p.s. I bought a twin spot puffer and he will go into the 50 gallon tank in the dining room, where our microwave used to be. We will buy a counter top microwave to replace it since you can't put a fish tank there. And, the 50 that will go to the new puffer (freshwater puffer), is currently housed by my reef guys, they will go into the 75 that I bought. I will also get rid of my 30 gallon tank. Too small. Hate a 30 gallon tank. Pain in the tail to keep clean.

Well.. i'll mention some things that I personally did for the sake of my fish tank.. you can decide how addicted I am.
I removed my personal computer in my room to put the fish tank in its spot. I am now forced to use the family computer..
When company comes over I clean my tanks glass spotless... my room remains a mess.
I somehow put $3500 into a 46 gallon tank. I dont even know if you could fit 3500 $1 bills in a tank that size :p
I used to have trouble sleeping at night worrying about my tank and i'd wake up several times in the middle of the night to check on my fish tank.
I watch Finding Nemo now only to identify the fish that I used to think were only 'made up fish'.
I could think of more.. but my mom and sister are yackin at me. :notsure:
