Skating...

I've been roller skating a bit here and there lately. I started learning last year.I took a bad fall about 3 weeks ago and stayed off the skates til yesterday. What amazes me is the comments people make.

1) Aren't you afraid you are going to fall?

umm... no I'm afraid it's going to hurt though! lol..

2) Have you fallen yet? You've seen me skate....What do you really think?

3) Isn't that dangerous? Dangerous? You should see me pissed off!

4) I think that is ridiculous! Did I ask for your opinion???

5) You're too old to be skating! WTF??? I don't need YOUR limits, thank you!

I really find a lot of peeps sad.. they are way old before their time. Me? I'm going to keep on being me and having fun!

Poor B'stard's Cousin

My beautiful beta died today. I cried. I've had him over a couple of years now... I named him Poor Bastard's Cousin after my older daughter's beta. Her fish was named Poor Bastard because she'd forget to feed him. My beta had a choice of three different types of food. He had his blood worms which were his favorite. Then the red smelly flake fish food that alway reminds me of Germany ( the first place I owned fish ) Then there were these little balls of pellet type feed that he occasionally would eat but mostly disdained . I was going to post his picture but they are on the other computer. PBC had a fun loving personality. He'd always swim to the top for my brother. But with me ,he'd occasionally pretend he couldn't see me. I used to say ..We have rules PBC! You shall swim when I come see you so I know you are alright! He'd languidly and gracefully turn with a surprised look as if to say, "I dinna see you there, worm feeder!" Other times he'd rush over , pause to say "Hello mate!" ; then zoom off to do his laps. Although sometimes I think he called me other names! He had the longest tail that anyone had ever seen. I just wanted to say" Goodbye Poor Bastards Cousin and thank you for so many hours of zen pleasure."
