Yep,
I saved my goldfish today. But first ill tell the story before this....like 6 months ago my husband and I were in petsmart and saw this fancy quite large white oranda gold fish "these are the goldfish with the large growth on their head, its called a wen" Anyway I love orandas and this one was like 25 bucks and he’s was so beautiful, all white with a yellow face and head growth, I new I had to have him, so we bought him and I named him "pineapples" Anyway he turned out to have every thing wrong with him that a fish can possible have and despite my best efforts he died! "I should have know not to buy a fish from a tank full of ick"

Anyway this coloration is more rare and a little harder to find then your average oranda coloration. So a few days ago my hubby and I took a trip to a local pet store and there was pineapples! there were two actually almost the same size as my last and only 7 bucks! So I took him home even though I was paranoid he would have something wrong with and kill all my other fish. So we have him in our new 75 gallon fish tank with new rocks and everything. So anyway I’m sitting watching TV and I notice that my pineapples is acting rather lethargic and seemed to be breathing heavily and making these large gulps. After watching him from a distance for a while I came close to inspect him and realized the stupid thing had sucked up a rock while scavenging for fish food and couldn’t spit it back out.

So I got the tweezers and opened the lid and picked up the fish in my hand while I tired to pry the thing out but I kept pushing it farther back so id have to put him back in the water upside down to let him breath and allows the rock to fall back. After tipping him this way and that trying to find the best way to get it I finally got a grip and pulled the damn thing out....I felt pretty good about myself after that, and he started swimming around like nothing happened. Goldfish are great, they hardly get stressed and are very hardy fish. Anyway that’s my silly fish story, but that’s nothing...one time I gave a gerbil mouth to mouth resuscitation after I found the little guy was almost drown in his water bowl...but that really is a whole other story!

This really sucks,

I hope that Elfwood gets up and running soon, I have another ticket I want to submit with some more pictures and profile changes,....figures just when I want to use it, it goes down. Oh well computers are great that way with their technical difficulties, I’m sure its not anyone’s fault that Elfwood is down.

I hope this doesn’t cause anyone to loose their gallery here, if it has something to do with the motherboard as I read that’s cant be good news. Ill be so pissed if I loose my gallery.

I had the hardest time getting on Elfwood. I first tried to join and did the test but I thought It was a waist of time and didn’t read the rules just answered what sounded right, so of course I failed. Second time I read over the rules but to my demise I failed again! I waited a long time in between before I tried again, this time I really tried and was sure I would pass but I failed! So fourth try, some months down the road from my last I did the test again and even had my Husband look at it and read the rules and go over my answers, and we were sure we would get in that time....then Elfwood decided they were changing the site around and all the information I put in was lost and I had to wait for ever for them to come back on line....so the next time I finally got in, you can bet I was completely thrilled.

So my point….., if my gallery is affected and its gone I will be pissed, I don’t want to have to fill out the test all over to get back in....I hope that it all works out and it comes back on line soon.
