So out of sheer boredom, I was perusing the sex offender registry to see what kind of creeps are in my neighborhood, and the ones I grew up in, and the ones I have family in.

Found both of my ex-boyfriends parents.

Then I found a web site that is willing to sell your information, including SSN, home address, income, bankruptcy history, home value, lawsuits, previous addresses, criminal history, marriage and divorce records, phone numbers, date and location of birth,...

Okay, I have 2 large Oscars. I have one small 46 gallon tank (they recommend 55 gallons for one Oscar, 75 for two.) They are very overcrowded. They need a bigger home. I think Oscars are like the Red-Ear slider, and Iguanas of the fish world - common as rocks at pet stores, but not the best idea unless you have done a TON of research, and set up your enclosure first.

The owners of the boa we rehabbed finally contracted us, requesting the snake's return for next week.

The bookstore I am working at part-time is closing. Balancing both jobs is getting to be a bit hectic, so I really won't mind knocking it down to one full time job (instead of 60 hour weeks).

Most of the fixtures were being shipped off to other stores, so I didn't have high hopes, but I did score 2 shelves that were free to a good home. Industrial, heavy-duty bookstore shelves. Very sturdy, solid construction....

Mine sucked. All I got this year was a sinus infection, and my first gray hair, at age 24. Grey had 2 jobs, one at UPS as a seasonal employee, with the strong suggestion he would be staying on after season (right now, he is not employed by UPS). Another at U-haul. We just purchased our non-refundable tickets to go up to Michigan to see my family like we do every winter. We went and saw a movie today (a splurge we don't normally indulge in) and after all of that, U-haul calls to tell him they hired...
