There have been a few requests that I tell how I got carson in the garbage disposal in the first place. I uh...well when I got the F6 bowl of fish for my birthday, I didn't recieve a net for them. And since everytime I go to the store I don't think about my fish, I never by one.

So I thought I would clean Carson's bowl in celebration for deciding on a name. and since I didn't have a net I decided that I would just dump the water out slowly, like I usually do until there is a little left to put in a cup or something. well I wasn't thinking and used the other side of the sink.

*floooop* down he went. I of course stood for a second, shocked that I dropped him down there but imediately stuck my hand in there to get him out. I instantly felt his slimy skin and pulled, but it turned out to be noodles that hadn't been chopped up. There were a whole lot of noodles, so I spent a lot of time grabbing a lot of slimy noodles. I would feel him flop around and in my mind I am thinking. "he's gonna die, I am going to have to corner him against the wall of sharp blades unavoidably skewering his little body to get a hold of him"

eventually after a min. I caught him long enough to fling him onto the counter were he kinda layed there. I thought that was it. but I scooped him up and dumped him in. I fell to the bottom and rested there not moving, his tail scruffed up and in pieces. I put some blood worms in the water, but it took all of his strength to lunge up to get one. He is a trooper.

Now he sees me come in the room and always swims to the glass and stares at me for about 30 sec. and then goes back to his business almost as if to say. "you better get me a good treat because you almost killed me jerk."

Here is a diagram of where I caught carson:

Carson

Well I named my fish......and then I dropped him in the garbage disposal. I was able to get him out but he's pretty beat up. He may not make it, he has a hard time swimming up to the top to eat he has to swim around the bottom. This is a big deal because he is a pretty active swimmer. Sad.

These are pictures of him, but you can't tell how destroyed his tail actually is, I think he isn't feeling good right now because he isn't swimming like normal. Which is understandable consicering that his tail is all chopped up.

Dumb Ideas

It's four in the morning because I just figured out how to put more pictures on the blog without overpowering the blog. To the right you will notice a section called pictures. Here are some links to some pages with some pictures under the category of which they are labeled. Just for my STUPID sake, look at one at least so I feel like I didn't totally waste my time-even though I know it's ridiculous to stay up until FOUR to blog.

On Tuesday I wasn't feeling very good so Jared helped me take my laundry over to the wash hut. I had a lot thus my need for help. Well while I sparated and loaded the laundry Jared was talking to this really nice man who was on his way through town. He said he was meeting his daughters and they were going to go on a cross country trip. Well while they talked I was having the worst time trying to load things and get quarters. I must have looked like an idiot. I was one quarter short and had some more in the car. As I left to go get it, the man stopped me and gave me one. Thanking him we left. about 45 min later I returned to find that all of my clothes had been put into the dryers and they had been started for about ann hour each, and he left this little post it note on one of them. What a nice guy.

Quick thought

I am at work doing nothing once again, and I thought to myself I will check my blog because I haven't written anything in a while - true all true. Well I want to post some pictures so I have been holding off, but my computer is still having issues. last night my computer said to me

"This program's installation has been interupted avast! it can not be loaded." you can ask kathrine and megan they were both there.

In conclusion I plan on posting pictures perhaps this weekend as we are still trying to fix the issue in our spare time around here. It's just hard because I don't really know what I am doing.

Re-schedule

Gavin Pants can't come tomorrow the re-schedule has been made for

Thursday at 7:00 same rules still apply, dress code all that.

Gavin

One year and three months ago I got 6 fish, each was named after a member of F6. Slowly one by one each would die - we think Cannon was the first to go, I think Alan was also taken pre-maturely. Gavin has survived a lot. Weeks without being fed, he still managed. Acutally, I didn't feed him consistantly because he had some bowel problems and would get bloated a lot.

The funeral will be Wednesday at 7:00. I ask, for respect for the dead, that everyone wear all black. If not all black I ask that everyone wear their most drab garb they own, this is a sad event.

Gavin Pants will be giving a eulogy and those that feel impressed to share a poem, song, memory and whatnot are strongly encouraged to.

And to entice those that are on the fence about attending...there will be refreshments.

tomorrow I will post more details, if we will meet in the T and walk to the pond or if we will meet there, a tentative program. Enjoy this video of past moments where I thought it was time, but it wasn't.
