I'm here! Not dead or scamming! Promise guys! Hi!

I am SO sorry for my sudden absence from here, this has been the week from HECK. I killed my computer, our internet went down, I STILL don't have a phone, I spent three days frantically cleaning and trying to completely dissemble the fishroom in preparation for an inapection today amidst the exploded bomb of packing materials, and as some of you have heard two of my husband lost two good friends this week

Anyways, I'm sitting at a wendy's right now trying to coax life out of an old laptop that keeps dying as soon as I finish typing this >.> and my husband is sitting in the car getting grumpier by the minute because the gate closes soon so I've gotta be quick and don't have time to pm everyone at the moment (I'll come back tomorrow earlier!) BUT here's the rundown:

All medium boxes (lynda, kevy, shelly's friend, and HS although I know your temps are freakishly low so we gotta talk and figure something out) and Eric's little plant parcel are set to go out tomorrow (I'll pm y'all to confirm at some point tonight but may have to use the phone once we get home), all the rest are set for saturday but if a monday arrival doesn't work for any of you I can probably squeeze a box or two in wednesday (busy day, getting health certs for all of the non-aquatic pets). But I have boxes, heat packs, and finally the right size bags so never fear! They shall all get sent this week! They have to, I leave on tuesday...O.O I'm sorry I alarmed anyone! No running off with shipping money, I promise! Just good old fashioned crazy stressfulness!

 

Stressful!!
Hang in there; sorry for your losses!!

 

I never doubted you for a minute

 

Whoa.

 

I will pass along the message to my friend. He works at 'his' post office so I would think any day would be good for him

 

And my conure Ricky that I've had for 12 years died sometime during the night

 

oh my gosh, I'm so sorry! wow you are just having the worst run of it I wish there was something I could do to help. If there is, just let me know. I'm so sorry for your loss.

 

Received my fish today, thanks!

 

And my conure Ricky that I've had for 12 years died sometime during the night

Wow. That's so hard. Sending mountains of hugs. Peetie and Tweetie will be meeting Ricky at Birdie Bridge. RIP, again, so sorry!

 

oh no... that's really sad... I'm sorry

 

I must be the only person who never saw this thread... lol. I'm so confused.

 

I know it's small consolation, but I've spent the whole evening watching the fish you sent me. I'm in love with each of them, and I want to expound on why:

2 Rio Abre Blondes: when I first saw these guys I thought they were dull, and I was a little disappointed. I couldn't have been more wrong. When the light catches them just right they burn lavender and teal, with those bright orange spots. Truly a case of "don't judge a book by its movie".

2 Black Bar Endlers: these little fellows put my "endler" to shame with their crisp, bright colors and the way they flash green and blue under all the red and black havoc. I can not wait to add more to the family, and pure endlers. I know now that while hybrids have their place, to call a hybrid an "endler" is almost criminal.

1 Supercross Adult Male: I was totally taken by surprise when you said you were sending me one of your beautiful supercrosses. He is stunning, and I promise to take such good care of him. He's such a pale, periwinkle blue, with bold black markings and an attitude just as bold.

1 Generation 8 Supercross Juvenile Male: he is already showing ole blues and bold markings. If he's anything like the other Gen8s I've seen, he'll be a stunning addition to my family. It's so exciting to have him, and know that I'll be able to watch him grow up and change into a stunning adult.

1 Red Tiger: the name is a falsehood. I see red in him, yes, but so many more colors than that. I'm going to rename him a infrared rainbow. I am adding a little melafix to the water to make sure his dorsal fin grows back in good shape. I love that vertical bar pattern to him, he's so dashing.

I truly love all of my fish. Thanks again for taking the time out of your busy schedule to send them. I know it was more stress added onto your already monumentous load, but I appreciate it so much, and I'm so happy to finally have them.
