Hey Soy, the fist couple of days the fish just wouldn't show themselfs. Slowly they became more friendly each week, and now it's at the point that they eat out of our hands. They even allow us to pet them when they are eating. It is very relaxing for the four of us. We never seem to run out of things to talk about while watching them swim about.

IT'S NEAT WHEN YOU WALK OVER TO THE EDGE OF THE POND,ALL THE FISH SWIM OVER TO YOU,LIKE A CAT WAITING FOR FEEDING TIME.

Kids have names for all the fish. Pretty cool watching the fish interact with each other, they've all got different personalities. (Quoting Message by lizash from Sunday, October 12, 2008 7:33:14 PM)

 Understood... you gotta stick together, ... be solid, true to the cause, and all that...
But, dear ol' Ron ... he needs more help than that! 
However, he has become quite wily & is fighting back since your little tip... thank you very much. Just take a little longer to deal with him, is all...
Hey! How's the little fishes? I like your fish-pond idea. (You guyz don't freeze  down there? Do you have a fountain, or a pump?)

"Hey, hey, hey...!!!"
VOM... I can't believe you violated the Sacred Bartender Oath!
OMG... I am losing strength as we speak...
(Ron is now battling back and able to resist the Whiskey Force... grrr!) 
But, because your 'sugar' tip was so well-founded, I might find it in my heart to forgive you. I had my first Sour in weeks, yesterday ... and added a splash of Perrier. So... it's now a Whiskey Sweet 'n Sour Fizz!

...sorry VOM...it's our 'friendly' games of Chess...she's had me dead to rights hours ago, but I am surviving (for now)...your thread has come at a perfect time as I have now become obsessed with NOT losing to her...I know it hardly competes with your pond (which is really cool, by the way)...but MY short term obsession none-the-less)

don't get mad at me VOM, for your obsession is a lot more complicated than mine...none the less...my only obsession right now is to NOT lose to The Woman...she's had me beat on both boards for most of the day...I even admitted defeat much earlier (as I thought she was building up for the Death Blows)...however, truth be told, she's finding out that my King can be as slippery as a greased pig (or Burt Reynolds in 'Striptease')...

Early in the fall my family asked that i build a pond, a goldfish pond! Well i did, but i don't do things small,lol. So two weeks later the hole was dug, liner put in, and filled. Then in went the fish, some rock for edging and landscaping. And to this day i get up around 5:30-7:00 am, turn on the coffee and check on my boyz, that would be the fish. So yes, i'm obsessed with this new project in my backyard.
So what are you obsessed with lately? |
