I walk by the tank and they begin begging.<br /><br />I think it is okay to have a pity party. Some days we just have to let that happen. I am glad there are those passer bys who are willing to help. I am sorry though that you are in so much pain. There are no easy answers.

Bean = vegetable. Sugar is derived from either sugar cane or sugar BEETS. Both of them are plants in the vegetable category. Thus, chocolate is a vegetable.<br /><br />To go one step further, chocolate bars also contain milk, which is dairy. So chocolate bars are a health food. Chocolate-covered raisins, cherries, orange slices and strawberries all count as fruit, so eat as many as you want.<br /><br />Is it really that bad for your joints: I was going to get your address and send you a bar:)alhihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17874650104335249662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34940564.post-44398687820201298152009-10-21T01:51:46.699+01:002009-10-21T01:51:46.699+01:00Think of the effort involved in going to get the c...Think of the effort involved in going to get the chocolate,carrying the chocolate, hiding the chocolate, retrieving the chocolate from the stash spot and then finally opening the chocolate. Chocolate is definitely calorie neutral. And if that fails to convince you, chocolate is quite high in salt and you need the salt to bring up your blood pressure. ;)Kim (frogpondsrock)http://frogpondsrock.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34940564.post-27840260318281285592009-10-20T23:48:46.531+01:002009-10-20T23:48:46.531+01:00Fish usually fare better in a tank with a fair-siz...Fish usually fare better in a tank with a fair-sized surface area, where you can manage a cleaning out/water change just 20% at a time (ideally using a syphon tube dipped into the poo-iest bits) into a bucket...<br /><br />When I was taught about fish they said that changing more than 20% of the water at a time could traumatise the fish (too much change of water ambience/temperature) and it was better not to take them out of the tank if it could possibly be avoided...<br /><br />On the basis that the only time I did, one of my cats got in and savaged a poor goldfish, I'd say they were right!cogidubnushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03542717738481600745noreply@blogger.com
