Sorry It's so Long. . . . .
After a rough Monday at the imitation-education center, I've piddled around all evening, just putting off one of my greatest pleasures of the day--visiting AC. Well, okay, I was on earlier today--I can't stay away. And why is this?
Not only do I have a passion for horses (thanks, DD, and I'll have new pix to post of "Delight's Blue Bob" (named for his daddy, Delight the Blue, and my dad, with whom I've developed an incredibly wonderful relationship after many years of ultimate storms), but with most all living creatures.(ok, why purpose do hornets serve?) Gosh, I'm actually tearing down my cheeks, must be that time (lol). Little did I know, four years ago, when I started with a betta (in a 2g container, ty), that the piscine world would fire another passion. (I saw someone use that little word in a post, loved it.) And when I decided to get my first tank after. . . . um, 1969, take from 2006--aw, heck, I can't do math!!) and began to explore the internet for information (datadog, here, bigtime) lo and behold, out of the multitude of aquarial sites, I landed in AC, and found home.
As with many other of you wonderful folks, I cannot say I have one favorite poster; being an extremely diverse and eclectic Air Force Brat and Artist, my heart, big as the moon, has embraced just about everyone (these hateful, horrible evil :troll: 's are as bad as the kids at school, and I thank somethinfishy so very much [huge long hug] for reminding me of who I really am). Ya'll have such great senses of humor of all kinds, I always come across a much-needed giggle, or even pee-in-my-pants hearty laugh in here.
Mondo bizarro in the GCC sometimes, ranting steam, sharing all kinds of parts of ourselves--Who'da thunk one could find/make such wonderful friendships in such a way, come to appreciate such different and valid points of view on fish-keeping, and folks who have the patience to walk us newbies through all sorts of questions that have been already asked in one form or another in one forum or another (what?) so we can be conscientious, successful keepers, too. Yes, I can be long-winded (understatement), guess it comes from ALL the years in higher academe, or I'm just garrulous as h*** like Bob (human LOL), but no, I'm not co-dependent on people here, it's not some kind of internet sickness or addiction--I'm just at a place in my life where I live only with my critterkids out in the country, and my other group of important peeps are in my Saddleclub.
Names are flying through my head--well, avatars first, I'm so visual--and words shared in the Chat Room (thank you all for accepting me and my quirkiness!! I'm really shunned at work, you wouldn't believe, yet here I'm accepted for the etherbeing I am. Man, I love the smilie wars (thanks for starting one again, and shifting the energy here--it was getting bad on all of us!!) All I can add is thank you all so very much for all you share of yourselves here, and know that each and every one is very special and beloved. Okay, it's a wrap, or a warp!! ~rosita (Renee)
