"Bill Oertell" wrote in message ... Well...the deed's done now, but my vote would have been for a small amount of water and a blender. Ought to be real quick, plus you can use the mixture for fertalizer later. You can't be serious. Can you? BV. |

"Roy" wrote in message ... Its been awhile since i posted to rec.ponds as it seems for the most part to be there are a few selective little bunch of idealists with their own concepts on how "ponding" should be...and everything else is either flamed or filtered........I would think after this post of how to efectively and quickly kill a fish that the pond bitch" Nedras" filter is going to be pretty darn well max'ed out with new names to plonk........ My method would have been cut its head off or just stick in a plactic bag with some Budweiser......... Y'all have a great day.............that is except for Nedra, I hope her f**king pond freezes into a giant ice block along with her in it. Nedra the Ice Queen of rec.ponds............... Visit my website: http://www.frugalmachinist.com Opinions expressed are those of my wife, I had no input whatsoever. Remove "nospam" from email addy. I hate to fullfill your prophecy, but kindly go plonk yourself. I agree that we have some distinct opinions on this group, but the regulars and many of the newbies are very tolerant. Hell, even Ingrid takes a beating on her Salt opinions, but for the most part we all agree to disagree. More importantly, Nedra is a very kind, and very informed ponder, especially when it comes to Lotus. I can handl you initial opinions, but you can take your belligerent, sophormoric attack on Nedra and gingerly place with where the sun does not shine. A bag and some budweiser? You can't be serious.

Wow, I've been reading rec.ponds for about 4-5 years, had no idea it
was so bad. I honestly don't remember any flames, except for a obnoxious guy a couple years back that was always going overboard with the backwoods hardnose routine. Went by "Foxeye" or something like that. I also read about 12 other groups, I recognise you from a couple, by far rec.ponds is the most docile and friendly. I'm not real impressed with nedra all the time either, but you seem to be really bent out of shape about it. Suggest you take a deep breath and shake it off. Stress can kill! Ignore those who bug you. Killfilters are your friend. OTOH, didn't know re.aquaria existed, will probably read it for a while now, thanks for the crosspost... how's that for a newsgroup oddity? :-) Mike On Fri, 10 Dec 2004 12:47:23 GMT, (Roy) wrote: Its been awhile since i posted to rec.ponds as it seems for the most part to be there are a few selective little bunch of idealists with their own concepts on how "ponding" should be...and everything else is either flamed or filtered........I would think after this post of how to efectively and quickly kill a fish that the pond bitch" Nedras" filter is going to be pretty darn well max'ed out with new names to plonk........

Hey, it'd be a helluva lot faster than some of the other methods that have been
recommended and the resulting mixture would actually have some (albeit, small) use. "Benign Vanilla" wrote in message ... "Bill Oertell" wrote in message ...

Yes, sometimes I take a drink but it does not interfere with the care I take of my fish or the enthusiasm I feel for aquaria. Nor ours, for our ponds. The difference is that due to drinking that goes on here, I have to limit the size of my indoor aquariums, because accidents can happen while drinking. I just noticed that a friend had left a burning cigarette in the seat of a 150 year old Windsor chair, which burnt my ass--not literally, for alas, I was not in the chair at the time. But if I had seen it while the drunken scoundrel was here a fight could possibly have ensued. He is banned from coming over for a month as a result of that mishap. Outdoors at your pond, you are free to drink to your heart's delight without worry of falling 55 gallon aquariums hitting the floor. |
