I had a friend die today..that has not even remotely made my day happy. It's just so fucking sad. Family man, two kids, 42. Just dropped. I work in a morgue and no one knew he had passed until a coworker opened the body bag and saw him. He came in under his given name, not his nickname so it was a huge fucking sock to everyone.
To make myself feel better I moped over to Wally World to get some baking supplies and ended up buying a Betta. He's a little blue and red fantail spitfire of a fish...very fiesty. Would the Mockers like the honors of naming him?
I had a Beta that refused to freaking DIE. I inherited him from a high school play and he lived in a bathroom for over 5 years. We never fed him, he ate algae from the tank. His name was Sharky. I seriously thought about flushing him, but could never bring myself to do it (septic tank, truly would have been murder). I gave him away to a friend and they told me he died a month later. They must have fed him.
Sorry about your friend. That sucks, especially right before a holiday. And I was going on and on about being thankful.
Name him Dick. Dick has to live in his tank all alone, too, because of his pissy personality.
