Me and guygeek were already married when we joined. I found HFB, got addicted, and he had to sign up in order to know what I was laughing about all the time.
By the way, I have 2 giraffe catfish. One is 25" and the other is about 18". So I guess I have 2 very large CAKs. 8O (I stayed out of it as long as I could...)
Love ya Nick!! You are a freakin' ROCKSTAR!!!

lol, I think my picture is still up on that "post your ugly mug" thread. I am indeed a girl. But hopefully not an ugly one.
Here's the short version of the long story:
David and I were together (Ek was there when it all conjured up)....we stayed together for a good amount of time (we actually met on HFB, he was buying a driftwood from me). Then I graduated from Rice and took over a branch of my dad's company in Austin. Then my dad decided to retire and he gave the company to me.
As much as I wanted to stay, I had to go because my obligation to the company just outweighed staying home. So, I left.
We're not really "not together", we both have the option of "our freedom" I suppose. But neither of us date other people.
So, he's finishing up getting things put together for his kids and taking care of what he needs to. And I'm doing what I have to do.
I should be back home in about a 1-2 years (for good) and he's a good enough man to wait (or so he says) :wink: So, I guess things will happen when I get back home.
Like I said, it's a long story and there is MUCH MUCH more to it. This is just the outline.
Also, we're both relatively young. I'm just 22 and he wants me to accomplish things before I settle down for good. (I think talking to my dad-and his pet shotgun may have a little something to do with David being so "understanding" :wink: ).
I met the right person, just a little too early in life. We both have things we want to get done. Ya know?
Talk about barely scratching the surface! I really think if anyone was to hear our whole story.. they just simply would not believe it. I know I wouldn't have if I had not lived it.
Alexa is the type of woman who can only be described as simply beautiful. I am not referring to her looks either. She has a passion and a drive for life and for love that is so strong and so pure you can't help but fall for her. She is the type of person that will mold a place in your heart permanently not with a sudden rush, or a big bang, but slowly.. steadily. Just as the grand canyon was formed by a river slowly and steadily so does she form a place in you. A place that lasts forever and a place that no other person could ever fill.
I could go on, but to keep from embarassing her too much I will just say this, she is worth waiting for, and if nothing else I do thank my God every single night for having our paths cross when they did.

What are the facts? Again and again and again--what are the facts? Shun wishful thinking, ignore devine revelation, forget what "the stars foretell", avoid opinion, care not what the neighbors think, never mind the unguessable "verdict of history"--what are the facts, and to how many decimal places? You pilot always into an unknown future; facts are your only clue.
i can't imagine anyone not appreciating a beautiful fish tank with all the precious life forms in it....
i'd rather watch my fishies than turn on the TV......
it's very sad to think that some relationships are hinging on who is talking to whom. and how much time they spend in their hobbies....it's just very sad i think....
i'm very fortunate that cichildfan likes to go out on the boat early in the morning and watch the sunrise, and return to the dock after watching the sunsetting.....we have so much fun out fishing together.....it's awsome that we share passions for life and all that it has to offer.....can't even scratch the surface on how we love our fishies....we treat them as our children....they are loved and cared for....and when we loose one it's definately a heart felt sadness....
no i'm not married to cichlidfan,nor am i "attatched" to him other than in my heart but i consider myself a best friend, confidant, fishing partner, and much much more. He and I share passions for so many things and if we can grab just one day with happy in it then we've accomplished alot for living.
So it's those that have to worry about doing the wrong things daily with their significant others that i feel so sorry for....we are all individuals, we all need to do what makes us happy. We don't know when all this will end.....So it's not a good thing to have arguments and discontent in your everyday lives....working and paying bills and dealing with all the hassles of our time is enough. A relationship should be one of just enjoying the other one's company, and not making such a big deal about how long you spend on the box discussing what you love to do....if your heart is true about the other individual then you shouldn't have fears that they are slighting you if they just be themselves....Given a smile, touch, or a smack on the cheek to communicate that it's all good....Just sharing a space in time is a great thing....
okay that's my soapbox this morning....
oh btw i have bristlenose pleco's in all my tanks.....does that qualify me for the CAK club?????

That has got to be worth a gazillion and a half points.
'Dear Lord,' the minister began, with arms extended toward heaven and a rapturous look on his upturned face. 'Without you, we are but dust ...'
He would have continued but at that moment my very obedient daughter who was listening leaned over to me and asked quite audibly in her shrill little four-year old girl voice, 'Mom, what is butt dust?'
