it has been a long time

hedder062474 Sep 19, 2007 04:27 PM

Well I am finally moved to the new house. But the guys that did the move broke my frog tank in the process. I had to empty it completely before they moved it. The plants seem to be okay so far. I had to buy a new grow light and put the plants in a different container that I had bought a while back, I think it is an old acrlic store counter display. I am hoping that the plants will survive. I planted them back in the same soil that was in the orginal tank. I saved it by putting it in plastic ziplock bags and putting them in a box. Now I am in the process of getting the stupid moving company to pay and replace my tank. Now I have to totally re-make the tank all over again. I am not happy about that all. I have waited so long to get my frogs and I was excited but now instead of buying my frogs I have to wait until I rebuild the tank! The move has been a long dragged out process. But I am hoping that it won't take me as long to get the new in order and ready for the darts. I am using the computer at the library to post. Have to wait to get service where I am at now but hopefully that won't be too much longer.I attaching the photo of the old one just for the h eck of it

It certainly has been a long time, and we're glad to see you back, even if the news isn't all that good. I remember your tank very well, and I'm sure you can do another as well. The plants will probably survive. I treat mine terribly sometimes, and they bounce right back, as long as they aren't orchids or something delicate.

I can certainly empathize with your lack of a computer. Mine crashed totally, well almost totally, apparently due to a virus (they actually found three on there) that had snuck through all of the antivirus stuff. I ended up having to purchase a totally new windows XP program because I couldn't find either the serial number or the back up disc, which I later discovered in a "safe" place rather than where I keep all of my backups. I am sooo SENILE!! The new computer gurus I took it to were suspecting that it had been a pirated edition, and the guys who sold it to me and installed it a couple of years ago are now out of business, so I'm going to have to call and correct this impression. It was a rather costly misplacement on my part. In any event, this took two weeks. Two weeks without a social life! I can't believe that a computer has become so indispensable to my life. I grew up during my early years without indoor plumbing, electricity or a telephone way back in the boonies, and now I whine when my computer takes two weeks to fix.

In any event, welcome back, and let us know how you progress with the new set up. It should come easier this time, at least.

that you will be able to make, though. I always find that after I finish something, I can find TONS of stuff that I would do differently if I had to do it again.

Sorry to hear about both of your computers. It is incredible how dependent we are on them now, isn't it?

Yes you are right about impprovements. I am sure this will take forever all over again. But thats okay. I enjoyed the first time and I am sure I will enjoy it this time as well. It will take me a bit but thats oaky.I am researching some different matirials then the ones I used last time.I am still waiting for the paper work from the moving company to come. They mailed it out earlier this week, or so they said, I will see soon weather they did it or not. I have dial up at my house now so I am back on my own computer which is great. I will get satlite some time in the next few months.
