I have been home for a couple of hours. Or at least my body is. I think my brain is somewhere between the south of France and the south of England.

At home. Car unloaded and everything dumped in the hall. Mug if tea made.

Sad news that our Bristlenose Catfish (Ancistrus) died in our absence. We've had him for 15 years and he had quite a personality and will be missed by all of us in our tropical aquarium.

Joe seems absolutely fine though. Spoiled rotten by our neighbour as usual

Sounds like you had a great trip, glad you made it back home safely. I am so sorry about your bristlenose! Those as so fascinating to watch in a tank. Well I hope ypu get some rest and use the memories of your trip to recharge your battery for months to come

And very good, wet 3 more minutes of a morning to ya'll!!!

Care if I whine a bit? I figure it's a good thing to do in the cold and dark...

So...I'm a bit stressed today. I'll admit life is pretty stressful these days period, but I'm trying really hard to make the most of it and give the kids some fun last few days of summer. We've been staying at my parents' house a state away. I took the kids swimming today. I thought it would be safer to keep my purse tucked under the carseat and the doors locked rather than on the towel while I'm away in the water. Well, came back to the van to find mine and three other cars with bashed in windows. My purse is gone. I must not have tucked the handle in well enough or something. I lost the camera (heartbroken about the photos I lost!), cell phone, cards, checkbook, the rest of the my trip money, IDs, everything. It was stupid to have them with me in my purse, but I've been so busy I didn't think to empty out my purse from various summer excursions as I'm out of town and basically lugging my belongings everywhere I go. I have a few little 'ouchies' on my hand from tiny shards of broken glass when I was cleaning off the seats so we could sit down. -An interesting side effect of robbery that I would not have thought of. Seriously wishing I could go back in time!!!!!!!!!!! Where's the tardis when you need it!!?!?!?!?!?

.
I am so sorry to hear this! I have had things stolen from me couple times and it's such a horrible feeling of being violated!!! It was pretty traumatic as I grew up in family with those very strong basic moral values were you just don't even think of having something that doesn't belong to you. I remember trying to pray and meditate about it and the person who did it in order to find peace. I hope you get over the hurdle of replacing all lost things soon: ONE THING AT THE TIME. Hand in there. Try to pray or meditate about it. That did help me quite a bit. Hang in there❤️

Sorry about the catfish. I hate losing animals.
When I was a boy we had several goldfish and golden orf in a huge tank at home.
We went to France on a month's camping trip and my dad put in enough food for the time.
I told him this was dangerous but he never listened.
The fish ate the lot on day one and choked to death, any survivors killed by the putrid water. (actually I remember, now,that a few roach were there and survived). The smell was indescribable.
I was so sad and angry. One of the orf I'd had for years.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Hi , I'm here ! Ive been a little tired & down that i havent found Khaleesi yet

Oh, no!
I was only mucking about, but so sorry you're down.
I would be, too.
Hoping she's safe somewhere.

 

[Gillian M]

Terrible, isn't it ?
I send wifey out at night as often as possible, but it's pretty safe here.

Hi! You're lucky if that's the case. Jordan WAS safe until the uprisings began in the region. I used to be able to stay outside till 10-11pm. Now I am home almost all day and night long: during the day the sun is striking, while at night it is dangerous.

 

[Linhdan Nguyen]

No worries. Thank you! I hope shes safe too.
Max woke up early today, like around the time i was leaving for work (5:45am) and he pooped a big one and walked over to the food dish. He may have went back to sleep before he was able to eat though. I feel like i disturbed his sleep with the lights in the room and me moving around alot.
Poor cute baby . Cant wait til i go home and soak him

An extended vacation it seems ?
I dont blame you, i would like to stay on vacation as long as possible. Maybe you'll
Dream of your vacation now that youre back home

Good luck!

Also, my boyfriend was denied the job we thought he got. I guess his background wasnt good. He got a DUI (driving under the influence) 3 years ago. And he postponed going to court and taking care of it until May where he was served 1 year (though he had 10 months suspended). And of course lost his job. So this is where i'm at.
But its okay.

Sweetie, US county jails are chuck full of people arrested for dui/dwi or possession of weed. It is a shame that on preemployment bacground check this pops up as "positive criminal record". And unfortunately many companies have policies that firbid hiring anyone with any type of a record. But you know what this gets worst. My husband has unblemished "record" but keeps getting turned down for jobs since February this year! He is 60! And apparently advanced age is another thing that many employers have "policies against". Meditate or pray about it. Something will turn out. Hang in there

Your boyfriend must be gutted also.

Hi. Yep. Personally I'm somewhat worried about @Lyn W .

True. Even when she's busy she pops in.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

True. Even when she's busy she pops in.

Computer problems is my guess.

 

[Gillian M]

And no Ed or Linhdan, either
Though they've been on the forum.
Think i must have offended everyone.

Oh.......you are not the one to offend anyone, Adam.
