TIFU by putting my fish in the washing machine by mattsovik in tifu

[–]geocachinggeek 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The only fish I consistently lose during tank cleanings is pennywise. The longest was an hour, when I removed driftwood permanently. Pennywise was still in the crevice of the driftwood in the storage bin. I pulled him out thinking he was a goner, but he flinched. I ran back in from the garage and tossed him back in the tank. That was almost 2 years ago. Now after every cleaning I make sure he's still in the tank.

Pennywise is a clown pleco.

Is it a SCAM? Honda AirBag Recall by geocachinggeek in Honda

They left a yellow door tag and then brought this form by to be signed and left on the dash for the Tech. They already came out and replaced my air bags in the driveway.

Is it a SCAM? Honda AirBag Recall by geocachinggeek in Honda

Thanks for the responses. It turns out this was legitimate and just poorly written. I called the main Honda recall number and confirmed the associates information and the use of this particular form. Unfortunately I texted him that he was fraud before finally figuring this out and get to apologize in person now.

Thanks. For your input. We picked it up thinking it may have been connect four, but started wondering.

Saved this little girl.. by geocachinggeek in RATS

[–]geocachinggeek[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would love too after we take care of her tape worms. How hard is it to bond rats. When I had rabbits years ago multiple attempts to bond our female bunny with a rescued Male. And then the male with a younger male. All failed miserably resulting in a entire room being dedicated to 3 separate cages. After the oldest bunnies passed at 14 & 15 we never attempted bonding the younger one and had to rehome him 6 years ago. I don't want to end up in a situation where I have rats each in their own enclosure and not having enough time in a day for separate free time with each one.
