| OK. But I know a subject that never ends well because people seem to feel it's taboo to rationally talk about.
It's about religion. I have a belief system that has held true through discussion after discussion. Problem is, most people would rather be programmed and take no responsibility for their beliefs than to try their ideas out for themselves to see if they really do stand up to the light of reason. |

| Well religion is a very dangerous thing, I stay away from it I am a none believer, but I think everyone is entitled to there beliefs no matter what my opinion is. I guess I have to agree that that is one subject that is not a good one. The other topic that isn't good is politics, people just get stupid when it comes to discussing it.
Thats not to say it can't be done it's just not advised. _________________

| Yea those are the topics that shouldn't be discussed at a work environment either.
I'm going for an interview tomorrow and I'd appreciate some positive energy sent my way. I'm really struggling still, and this seems hopeful. It's working for a registry that's like a temp agency for medical professionals. They actually pay better than hospitals do, like about $100 more a day from what I've been told, and it's looking good as I've already talked with the owner.
Currently the brush algae in my 100 gallon gar tank is subsiding. I think it was the bio-load in the tank before that was causing it to grow. Since I got rid of the 14 inch arowana and 2 large tilapia, I've cut the food going into the tank to about 1/3 it was before. I feed the 7 inch pleco Trader Joes spirulina dried/pressed tablets and the pleco loves it. The rest of the fish, the 2 charisens (or a similar looking to a gar type fish from the Amazon), and my 3 Florida Spotted gars with the biggest being about a foot long now, and a small tilapia, they get fed once every 2 days.
I feed all the fish in there freeze dried krill, and add a bit of Tetra flakes for the pleco.
I really have to watch my fingers now as the biggest gar tries to bite me like crazy. Since it drew blood I've learned to be more careful. It's fun to tease it though. I can grab it's body behind where it can bite and it's kind of fun giving it a little lift. I can almost take it out of the water without it freaking out. You would think it would try and swim forward to get away, but it actually tries to swim back so it can bite me! I don't intend on taking it out of the tank. It's just fun to feel it with those special diamond shaped scales and that ancient perfect design that has remained unchanged since dinosaur times, and it's totally not afraid. |

| Well as always good luck with the interview, hope it all works out well. I'm going to have to start up a predator fish forum for you to post all your gar info in, there are a couple forums I would like to start but I'm waiting for the membership to pick up. _________________

| | I think a sub forum on predatory fish would be great. I don't suggest a forum for gars though as any true gar species are just way too large to recommend for most fish enthusiasts. The fish from South America often referred to as Hydro gars, or needle nosed gars are not even really gars. There are the Characin family with the Hujeta and some others and I don't remember what family the needle nosed so called "gars" are from. |

| lol... sorry pete... but it's just that in this one thread... there could of been like 3 potential threads on other forums... i noticed that alot of fish forum people have a habit of jacking threads... thread-jacking should be illegal...
further more...
i LOVE getting into religious discussions... i'm not a looney christian... but i love a religious debate... i always end up winning or shuting up the other fay-lo...
i'm a true non-believer... and when i say that i don't mean athiest or one of they that believe that they is a scientific reason for everything, but still sense or want to believe in a higher power... i'm something i think they call a nialist... i haven't looked it up yet so that werd could mean nothing at all...
lol...
i always end up in debates because of my tattoo's... i have huge pentagrams on my shoulders, and a uber-huge pentagram with a goat and "666" on my chest... i'm not a satanist, wiccan, or any of that other mouth-breathing rebelious bull chet... i just love the art and many meanings of it all... i love symbols... i have some other symbolic tattoo's as well... and i'm going to get more soon... hopefully...
well like i was saying... I HATE THREAD JACKERS!!!...
sorry for yelling and throwing that plate of scrambled eggs at that wall... and slamming the door on the way out... and for burning rubber at this time of day as i sped off...
that is all... |

| | I guess I did screw up that one thread on RMFT, actualy 2 threads, but only one with religion. I used know so many weird people and have the urge to say stuff but I'll keep it down in this aquarium forum. I've been a massage therapist for 12 plus years and I've seen a lot of tatoos. I've seen tatts of orgies, and a bit of what you have on you. I guess you have probably freaked out a few right? |

| No. I'm not against happy endings as far as a sexual experience goes, and I have massages of my GF that often turn into something else, but the whole idea of a theraputic massage is to depolerise and energetically do something to the client that sexual energy can completely erase. It's not that sexual massage isn't theraputic on some level, and it's also that a theraputic massage as I see it is anti sexual energy, it's just that the idea is to open the upper chakras. With sexual energy, with most people, as they get aroused the upper chakras shut down and the lower ones open up. My purpose is to leave the person with as many chakras open as possible and to avoid the upper chakra shut down polarisation that usually comes with sex focused sexual touch.
You're right about starting new threads when it's a different topic. I'm kind of new to this forum thing and was never as socialy adept as some. I guess the post was about people signing up and saying nothing. Yup! Well, I like how things mutate to a degree, but yea, I could start a new thread sometimes. |

| Gumbii, if you know any forums where people are open to a discusion of the unified field theory as it applies to religion or metaphysics, or any other debate on belief systems let me know. I don't live on a mushroom ranch majick school anymore, but I still like the subject.  |

| My spiritual beliefs are mine, all mine. I own them, and nobody else can have them. So there
And that might go for a few other things, too.
But we can do that, or deal with it, and still have a forum.

| Well yes I did, but I haven't worked yet. I've been tutoring at the school and asking my teachers for tips on time management and order of my duties.
Basically, I get my assignment of 25 -30 patients, go check the first chart to see if there was a late change in the order and to verify the order from the doctor, them I get the meds for that patient and go to the patients room. I wash hands, put on gloves and take note of respiratory rate, heart rate, general condition of patient, listen to breath sounds with stethoscope, and sometimes do a peak flow rate test on the patient.
Then I hook up equipment and start treatment for 1st patient.
Then I go and check 2nd patients chart and get meds for them, and the go finish patient #1, check RR, HR, breath sounds, and maybe do another peak flow test to see if the medication helped.
Then I go to patient #2 and continue with the rest.
I have to document in chart after each treatment and there are treatments every 4, 6, and 12 hours depending on the patient. There's plenty of other things I'll probably freak out about, but I think I can get through it OK.
I was told I may start this weekend due to it being Mothers day weekend, so we'll see.
I have to get an income so I can bump up child support and have some negotiating leverage with my son's mother because I haven't made summer arrangements with her about him yet. Depending on her bloody hormones I'll get him for at least a month, which I want, or there may be some problems.
My girlfriend hasn't gotten her outrageous relationship with her son under control, which I said had to happen if there was going to be a future for her with me and my son, so I let her go. No more hot sex with a super fine woman. When I have a good income I'll be able to find someone else though, someone with a clue! I'm not bad for 42 so that shouldn't be too hard.
Anyway, I got yeast in my 35 gallon planted tank and it looks like milk. I've been doing 50% water changes daily and there was only one death, so I guess I'll keep up the water changes till it gets better.
That's my life! |

| Great to know about your great sex Gumbii. I cut my great sex out of my life due to her being a train wreck and a hopeless mother. Her son poison's all the time we would have had as a family, and I told her she had to get this son of hers under control because I won't have that BS ruining a family I'm in nor ruin my sons life. She doesn't get it and never will at this point. She's let his behavior progress and now he's 6 and the fact is, it's basically too late now to make him a well rounded person. She's gonna be making excuses for him till he's in prison for raping or abusing a woman, probably her, and I'm moving on and feeling great about it.
With my new job I should be making great money and I have some great plans for when my son comes to visit. We'll do dirt bikes, go to train shows, and have a blast. We're even going on a long camping trip where we'll do a lot of fishing and exploring. I also want to take him sailing, as I was the boson in my Sea Explorers group years ago, and I'm a really good sailor.
There are a lot of gorgeous nurses at hospitals these days and I'm looking forward to some of that. I'll be back in the world of great sex in no time. |

| OK, religion, politics and gay sex or sex of any kind are definitely hot topics. I'm going to have to put an R rating on the lounge soon or at least warn all the sensitive people that there may be topics that may offend them.
So far this is ok, but lets not get to carried away with any of the above topics. _________________
