The smaller angelfish died today, so now we’re down to the big angelfish, the algae-eater and one guppy. A clever idea hit me. Since I hardly use the big garden tub, I decided to fill it, stick the aerator in it, and make it their home. What better and easier way to change their water than to just pop open the drain?

It appears that the house is now in place for good, judging by the sound of the hammering I heard over there. Plus, the plastic sheet that covers the open half of the house is now off and the two halves are nearly joined. The good news is that it’s barely visible both inside and outside the house, but the bad is that it is still facing us, though not squarely. It’s sort of facing between us and next door. Hopefully, the fact that their house faces west will deter them from hanging out front and anchoring their dogs in front as well, but we’ll see.

Later…

Tom and I went to Casa Grande earlier for dinner. We went through KFC’s drive-thru for me, then went through Whataburger for him. It was the first time I really rode in the truck and how wonderful it was to have the AC! It was loud, though, and the turn signals were a little screwy. Also, the cluster of dashboard instruments was sort of dim.

This weekend will be our second attempt to get me signed up at that Desert Dollar casino. It just didn’t go through the first time around.

There’s also going to be a delay in getting started with selling stuff, too. Without thinking about it, Tom went and got a PayPal account in his name which doesn’t allow people to pay via credit card, so he’s going to get one set up in my name that will have that option. If it’s in my name, I can get credit through Memolink.

Last night I stumbled upon an excellent deal on eBay on one of the two last Barbies I want to get before the 2004 line comes out. Someone placed a bid earlier which I went and topped. If I win it’ll cost $25 and will come from Phoenix. Tomorrow or the next day I should get the one I won last weekend.

One of the survey sites is starting to really pick up in surveys, and therefore in points as well. Instead of being given a million in one chance to win a million dollars or something like that or having various prizes to choose from when you accumulate so many points, it’s a penny a point with them, so 1000 points is $10.

One of them mentioned sending hair dye to use as part of a survey, so he got me two boxes of dye of either brown or auburn. Whatever it was is going to fry my hair so I kind of hope they don’t send it despite all the gray I’ve been accumulating. I don’t think they will, though. Do you know how many people said they were gonna send this or they were gonna send that that never did? A lot! I was supposed to get pain relievers, magazines, tooth whitening strips, etc., yet they’re all full of shit. Why people feel so compelled to say they’re going to do things they don’t intend to do is beyond me.

Tom said he’s thinking of asking Mom for some money at the end of the month with the hopes of her giving more than he asks for.
