The House of Orange

Convenient...

I also caught a foot diameter red eared turtle or something similar and put it in a 5 gallon bucket. My new pet. Next morning it was gone despite the bucket being in the same place. My dad said it jumped out and got away. 20 years later I'm telling the story about my turtle that got away and freeze mid-sentence. "Wait, turtles don't jump. My dad lied to me!"

That must have been a freakin' boomer trick or something because I also never knew how my snapper really got out of our above ground swimming pool that day

Good dead animal disposal. When one of our pets died, my mom would bring it over to the old couple living across the street for a "burial" and the old man would just toss it into the ditch behind his house. I knew little of this at the time.

So what your saying is invest is a snapping turtle farm vs a pig farm

parents are really good at stimulating the shallow energies of many creatures (including jumping turtle)

On the opposite side of that I caught a baby red ear in a ditch and my dad went and got me a tank and all the stuff I needed to keep her. I use to feed her anything I could catch in the ditch. Crawfish and minnows….throw them in the tank and let her work for her dinner….her name was Speedy (those turtle are faster than you think). When I caught her I could close my hand around her. When I let her go she was as big as my hand…

Would this work for dead prostitutes? Asking for a friend...

G'mornin', Heathens! I'll be outside landscaping for most of the day, but I'll pop in here and there. Expect delays if you need me. Don't burn the place down or anything.

Namaste.

So I can’t use the stove? Already banned from knives

Not after what happened the last time. The insurance company still hasn't paid out yet.

Enough alligator snappers will dispose of any body. Just theoretically speaking, of course.

Dude... not even gonna a lie- I resent you just a little bit right now. Hahahaha. That's f'n sweet! Can't wait to see it come together!

I can't wait to design and build it. Gonna improve all the things the 300 lacks and I learned over the years and from all of you. I am sure the tangs gonna be happy.

 

[1ocean]

Yeah, that depth allows for some seriously stunning aquascape possibilities. I'm super happy for you, bud. What's your timeline?

well my friend is buying my other friends house and we have a dedicated room for the 300 to go to in that house. He is going to do cichlids..I am thinking in the next 6 months...Will take a lot of planning to remove and replace tanks...Yes I really want that depth. I am really wanting a TRUE inside of 30 inches...outside can be 6ftx4ft.

Hey, not all of Louisiana is swamp!

Edit: I suppose I read that as "Louisiana = swamp". Yup... revealing some underlying sensitivities, perhaps...!

My family hails from Amite City! But I lived in Denham Springs for a bit. No swamps there, just alligator snappers in the ditch!

I'll just leave this here:
