    A gal I work with owns a Beta. One day her husband (ex now) got really ticked at her and put it in the aquarium with his sharks.

    By the time she got home, it was all over. The Beta had killed all three sharks. It's called a Siamese Fighting fish for a reason.

    I went ziplining and bungie jumping yesterday which was really fun. Today I cut down a tree and uprooted two bushes, which was not nearly as fun.

    If it weren't for male stupidity, we'd all still be living in caves and wouldn't be enjoying our Craftsman socket sets.

    they only fight with each other, and further only the males fight other males.
    if you hold a mirror up to the tank, they bo up and attack.
    other fish see their flowing long fins and pick them to death.
    if the sharks were gone, the wife flushed them.

    So I bought 5 mollies. The guy I bought them from said they would be fine. Woke up yesterday and found one of my Cobolt Blue fish dead. The other Cobolt blue didn't look too hot. I was getting washed and my wife come in and said that she took the other cobalt blue out of the tank cos ALL 5 mollys were attacking her. She too died.
    We rang the pet shop and said they never heard of this before. We swapped the mollys for some Platy and they gave us some new cobolt blues.
    The tank is peaceful again, instead of the tank of murder it was yesterday. Watching the fish is relaxing but yesterday wasn't.

    They're called "maulies" for a reason, apparently.

    I took my hat off when I entered the supermarket ... it is amazing how many people keep their hat on indoors!

    Shaved with my Rise Super Foamy and used Degree for Men deodorant. Shortly I'll be going to the gym.

    when you say most restaurant coffee is weak and terrible, perhaps I'll take that to suggest I shouldn't by "House Blend" coffees(Maxwell House, etc)

    I voted in the general election. Although it is not just a man thing, it is the most important thing I will do as a member of a democratic society.

    Something only a man can do - become a grandfather to grandchild #2. Still too early to know if it will be my second grandson or my first granddaughter.

    I got the extension ladder out to perform some repairs under the eaves to the house. Repairs appear to be a success.

    My back is feeling a bit out of sorts with the whole thing. It really sucks getting older.

    So as the dumb blond once said, you don't know if you're going to be a grandfather or grandmother yet?

    We had twins several years ago. When we took them out as babies and told people they were a boy and a girl twins, I was always surprised when someone asked if they were identical.
