Re: Hurricane Ike....................

Yeah I know. It'll come back for everybody eventually, so at least there's hope in sight.

Re: Hurricane Ike....................

The geeks said they will foster my remaining fish
Thanks guys. 8)
Can't wait for this to be over so I can start anew again. I'll be like a Phoenix rising from the ashes!

Re: Hurricane Ike....................

I'm guessing that I should save all of my baby bristlenose for the HAS auction?

Re: Hurricane Ike....................

Actually, the bn plecos are ok.
The geeks are  kind enough to foster my survivors. I have left: some random goodieds, corys, synodontis angellicus and occellifer, various jade gobys, 1 reticulated giant danio, green corys, african mud fish, khuli locahes, 1 clown loach, 1 blue botia, 1 red flowerhorn, 2 curviceps, 1 flagtail cat, 1 porthole cat, red eye puffer, fahaka puffer, 1 baby bichir, random bn plecos (regular, albino, and long fin), brown crawfish, white crawfish, and random common plecos (one blind one who is perfect for the geeks blind tropheus).
The remaining bichirs and climbing perch are doing ok with uncirculated, unfiltered water, so will stay at home in the meantime.
Everyone thank you, again. I can't wait until this nightmare is over and I can enjoy my hobbies again.  :)

Re: Hurricane Ike....................

I may be looking for someone to foster some of my fish in a month or so.  It seems my insurance co has determined that all but the 4 bedrooms in my house will have to be repainted due to the leak in the living room ceiling.  Maybe the geeks can start a tank rental business in their house  :wink: .  

I'm glad so many of your fish survived Nick.  My sister in Oak Forest had power for 24 hours and then the transformer blew again.  The breaker didn't release so they can't do anything while the line is still live so she has no idea when she'll have power again.  

If anyone needs to due laundry, etc. my door is open.

We got cable up at about 9:30 this morning and I am happy because now I can get on the box!    I will post pictures of before and after Ike if not tonight tomorrow.

Re: Hurricane Ike....................

Still no electric here too. At least my neighbor is allowing me to use his welding generator.
It only uses 5 gallons of gas for 5 hours of use. And I thought Reliant was expensive.

Re: Hurricane Ike....................

Just called my apartment complex. We have been kicked to the bottom of Centerpoint's list!
The next Centerpoint rep I see, I want to offer as a sacrifice to the great god Dagon in exchange for power at my complex. "Operation clean sweep" per channel 2 news my @$$! :evil:

PLEASE SAVE MEYERGROVE APARTMENTS!
