Well, we found out why our first batch of baby bettas weren't growing properly and most of them died. The electric aquarium heater was cracked, full of water, and appeared to be giving them a nasty shock whenever it came on. The next batch was eaten by their father, something I understand when thinking back to raising my children at times. Now we have a batch that are doing very well with a brand new heater.
As I have stated before my health isn't good and I can't get out much, but my family wanted to go shopping at a big mall in Indiana. I went with them, took an oxygen tank with me and sat on a bench near the entrance just to watch people. As you can tell I get a bit lonely when this was a highlight. Two things stood out that night, a western jeans mini-skirt on a gorgeous red-head accompanied by knee high tight black leather boots with long spike heels, and a group of screaming teenage girls. My wife was sitting beside me when the girls were screaming at one another not 5 feet away from me at the top of their lungs. It was so incoherent that I couldn't tell if they were mad at one another or teasing. I guess it was the latter as they then went into a restraunt together. I am a little high strung since I'm undergoing treatment and my wife could tell from my glare and gritting teeth that this was getting to me. They went on for a good 5 min. or more. After they went in my wife said "That was bringing out the teacher in me, I wanted to correct them." I told her that it was simply bringing out the "insane psychotic killer in me" I really had no desire to just correct them.
