Sounds like you're blaming the women you've met for having sex with you. But
it takes two people to have sex. If you don't want to sleep with someone on
the first night, just say "No, I'd rather wait." 

Good luck finding the relationship you want.

     So what was the big deal, that you are thanking God for rectifying?

     It is one thing to have someone overtake your computer account, and
subject you to an e-mail overload, or be the object of a barrage of complaints
logged against you when someone forged a letter under your name, but what is so
heinous about being labeled as GAY?

     If someone indeed was bashing you for presuming you are Gay, imagine what
it feels like for people who get that sort of treatment everyday of their lives!

     And what point are you trying to get across by the comment "considering
I'm about as straight as it gets"?

     Isn't that the sort of logic that Rock Hudson used for pulling the wool
over peoples' eyes for decades?

     Why not just accept yourself for who you are, and learn from the mistake
that was made of leaving your computer unattended!

     Let's not bring sexuality into the picture if it truly has no bearing on
the problem at hand.

To have remained speechless probably saved you some embarassing moments.
One time I struck up a conversation with a girl. I didn't want to
remain speechless; so I asked something about her family and then the
conversation shifted to religion. The resulting argument ended with her
comments about how she considers only Jesus as the ONLY saviour and how
she detests pagan worship. Of course, I didn't hear from her again :-(.

Last time I was in a similar predicament I sidestepped religion and
ended up talking about the political situation in her country (ok, ok, I
never said I was an enthralling conversationalist B-(). And a cold war 
now is in progress between us.

Contrary to popular opinion, many successful relationships
have been built on less. But for insurance, I will throw in
an attractive, kind, generous man, far from superficial, desiring correspondence, dating, long term relationship, possible marriage.

You have a dresser full of lingerie that you have been waiting
to share with the right person - someone who appreciates
a soft, feminine manner and does his best to make sure that you
are always glowing.

"Babe" is great.  I've been called cute and nice my entire life and I really
got tired of it about 3 years ago.  Since then I politely murder the person
who describes me as cute or nice in my presence.  It has actually gotten 
better because now I'm "great" and either interesting of strange.  Much more
suitable to my tastes.  Just so long as it isn't cute and nice.

Well Guy,

 I know the feeling that your talking about, that you really Want to get 
to know them, but that you think their hot and that they Might reject 
you, and the fear of rejection tends to keep you from saying anything at 
all!!!    Yeah, wonderful isn't it?? (NOT)

 Well here is this:

  If you do not TRY then there is No Possibility. The more you try 
though, there becomes possibility. You don't have to worry about being 
physically hurt if they reject you! (unlike a gay person doing the same
thing! though I should note that again it is the Fear that stops you in 
both cases) and in general the fear is greater than the reality. So to 
answer your question more directly, you may want to start with a:

  "Hi" .... "What's your major?" ... "What do you do for fun around 
here?" ... etc.

  Its 100% better to become friends with someone before you date them, 
because then you like them for Who they are, not just that they make your 
heart go pitter pat! (grin)

 Hope that helps .. now get out there, and chat!!!

Wrong on both counts.  Zeolites are a family of minerals with various 
cation-exchanging properties.  Some are mainly water softeners.  Clinoptilolite,the kind usually used for ammonia removal, can be recharged in salt solution
overnight.  It also tends to soften the water somewhat over time if used in
large quantities.

Weary Greetings....
     In the last week, I've lost two of my favorite African Cichlids from my   
55 gal. African tank.  One was a medium Haplochromis, and the other was a large
male Pseudo. Zebra (black, blue, & white 'calico').  I'm pretty sure that these
fish are being terrorized by the 5 or 6 large aggrressive males in the tank.
I'm only willing to flush one of those males if it comes to that (he's sorta
ugly).  What else can I do?  Someone told me that the ratio of females to males
should be 2:1 (more females).  Any other suggestions?  Help me Please!

Thanks in Advance!

Okay, okay, so its a blue crayfish, sheesh. What do you think I live
in this newsgroup? :) So I missed all the recent talk of crayfish, so
toss some krill at me okay? :)

Actually, someone told me he heard of blue lobsters before, so thats
why I was beginning to think that thats what I had. But upon closer
examination this past weekend, it does appear to look exactly (except in
color and size) like the other two crayfish.

Well I've tried the dried krill, unfortunately they didn't sink right
away. But eventually some pieces did and the crayfish went after them.
Some are still floating at the top, ah well...maybe I'll shove the pieces
into the gravel the next time. I hesitate to use the Tabimin as that stuff
disolves rather quickly into really small particles which end up hanging
out in the gravel, never getting eaten; especially now when I don't have
any bottom scavengers except for the cray.

And they are wreaking havoc upon my plants. Can you say snip snip snip.
:( I feel like taping there claws shut as punishment. But seriously
though, three are definitely too much. I'll just keep the blue one and
see what happens. And I wanted to get a Cory when I restocked.
Oiu vay! :)

It depends, in the average tank, a lot more on surface agitation than on 
the bio filter. I haven't really found a suitable balance yet myself, and
I tend to err on the side of the fishies. (i.e. - more O2 than CO2.) 

Something like you describe, with the water return being deep in the tank
might produce enough CO2 for the plants to be happy, but then again, it 
might produce other side effects. What those might be, I don't know. 

One compromise that works fairly well for me is to keep the fish load 
high, and cut filtration and water movement off for about 8 hours per day,
specificlly with the lighting at maximum. Doesn't hurt the fishies, the 
biofilter's don't seem to mind, and the plants grow like crazy. 

Yours,
-Paul

Goldfish are a very good reason for Ammo-chips.
I have to keep two power filters in my 20 gal high, with just 4 goldfish.
One power filter has the normal carbon/floss cartridge.  The other has a
filter cartridge _and_ about 1/2 cup of ammo-chips.  I also have UGF with
a powerhead.  If I did not use the ammonia removing resin, I would
probably have to change the water more than once a week as I still have to
now.  And no, I am not overfeeding either.  I have another 20 gal high
aquarium with 2 severum, one tiger barb, 3 neon tetras and one common
algae eater.  I never, _ever_ have the same water quality as the tank with
the goldfish.  (oh, and it contains several live plants also).
I only change about 1/4 of the water, once a month in that tank.
Zeolite is great for goldfish tanks!

I have a Whisper 1 on a 20 gal. high tank as a supplemental filter. The filter is
6+ years old and is still working fairly well. I think they work best as 
mechanical filters.

Anyway your idea of placing an old piece of a worn out filter bag in the new
bio-bag sounds legitimate, if the piece is small enough not to block the flow
of water through the filter media.  Also the floss bags used in whisper can be
cleaned with old water from the tank(or dechlorinated tap water) and reused over
and over again without killing the biological filter.
