No phone, no shoes, no bed ................
But you got one helluva fish tank!! Get a blow-up raft for the swimmin' pool and sleep in the tank!! :lol: Get out the blender, whip up some frozen strawberry marguaritas and float around in your tank. Just get drunk as hell.
Sorry to hear of your troubles with the ex. Wish life was less stressful for you right now. Look at it this way....... a girl can always use some new towels, new mattress and a shiny new set of kitchen dishes.

That's what I'm thinking RC! I can replace *stuff* over time. Besides, the less stuff I have, the easier it will be for me to move when I'm done with this stupid PhD thing I've gotten myself into...
Oh, and he's probably taking the blender too. Which means no margaritas for me for a while :(.

God, you're telling me. The only things that get me through grad school are margaritas and my good friend Yuengling.
Damn shame about that blender...but there's always a six-pack of ice-cold happiness whispering your name at the corner gas station :Cheers:
edit: spelling and grammar. Yep, I is a PhD stoodunt.

That's pretty benign compared to what I get from a friend of mine who used to be in the Tulane physics doctoral program.
He had the good sense to get out after his M.S.
The only things that I've learned with any certainty in my three years of graduate school are:
all grad students become bitter, and the most idiotic people you will work with in your entire life will have PhDs. The two are intricately related, and cannot be separated under any scientifically controlled or rational set of circumstances.

Hey I was just reading the instrution manual for my new camera and this thing actually has an aquarium setting! Specifically for taking pictures of fish tanks! Good thing my tank lights are already out for the night, or I would have been burning the midnight oil, tearing that sh!t up!!!

hey biff...be on the lookout for your new tripod. it's on it's way! where do you get your epoxy? do you use the reef safe/super expensive stuff from the lfs? and what's this superglue stuff?

I do not use the expensive epoxy from the LFS! I get mine at Home Depot, Ace or Lowe's. You can use any of the brands they carry as long as it says "Safe for Potable Water" and "Cures Underwater" on the label. It costs a fraction of the epoxy they sell at the LFS.
Superglue gel (make sure it's gel) works for gluing frags SOMETIMES. I have had much better luck with epoxy, but I use superglue gel for really small pieces. It cures underwater too.

LOL Awesome margarita machine.. it reminds me more of a lawnmower, since i havent seen too many pull-chain starter weedwackers. I love it though. Must be run on gas. (ewww)
Hey if you had not taken pics last night (not sure when actually) then you better have them the minute you have some spare time on your hands!!!! I gots to see that tank. Also those frags, you should wait on photos until friday actually. Maybe a preliminary one for the wait?
Good info on epoxy's Biff
Biff and I had the pleasure of talking about the subject of Grad students at the beginning of the semester at work - There is a cycle that all grad students go through. How did it go? Ecstatic -> Angry -> Bitter -> then they just dont give a dam. Right?
