Well, it seems like a lot, but only clout when it didn't work salt and spot treatment. I did much research, and apparently this caluflower growth is common, not sure if bacterial or viral (uk newsletter) but did have thin white thread from center, which another poster noted as well. They usually don't survive these growths, what ever they are, but he is ok... and it has not re-occured. I try not to use meds, but when desperate. Well, he is fine now... no new growth (knock on wood).. I agree, salt and easy does it.. but if parasitical then..... PS. at my local store, I noticed they come in medicated, water was blue. I didn't know this. I just got there one day when fish came in. I was pretty astounded at how rudely they were treated, after all they had just been through. Tossed, no regard at all. (They could use mild salt instead without as much harm during transport)... at mine they are pretty cruel... dump them in after washing them off in tap water rinse, no temp adjustment or anything! Just pour bag into net with fish, then rince off, like dishes. Then dump in tank. They have huge die offs. When they clean, they run a hose into tank and some guy who doesn't know squat, once had temp over 90 degrees. They scalded a poor Oscar. I have actually decided just tonight, that sans a good dealer and good water, (seems hard in NYC - best outer boroughs which is hard for me to get to) I will wind things down. I never had these problems when younger, never. I know the water is bad, is brown and have always used a shower filter, and age mine for aquariums in addition. I never drank the tap water, had it tested once and horrible.

(jaw on floor) Thanks for showing me something new today, Jeff! Me: "So... I'm looking for a bonsai shaped like an elephant...?..." Guy in Bali: "How many you want?" Gill, thanks for including your link, those are hilarious! I'd take the big lizard for sure. Suiseki, now there's a hobby I don't have time for. I can just see myself scrutinizing every rock I come across, no matter where I go, for the rest of my life. Pretty awesome though. Maybe I'll just make one... (ominous music)

I am so glad this thread came back up because I just recently got a new bra that is with out doubt the most comfy easy to put on bra I have ever had. I had bought the same bra in the back hook style and liked it but then they came out with the same great bra in a front hook style, I got it immediately and have been wearing it often, It is great, does not come unhooked has soft padded shoulder straps and is light and comfy, it has not ridden up on me once which is a miracle! This is the link to it. I got it on sale, the sale price was $19.99 and I had a 40% off coupon so got it very cheap now I wish I had got more since it is no longer on sale. If you choose to get one be sure you do a google search for their coupon codes there are tons of them available. Also they have a bra club if you buy 5 bras from them over a year or something you will get a free bra or rather a coupon good for the purchase of one. Wirefree front-hook seamless leisure bra by Comfort Choice� Here are some codes to help you save money. One is a mother's day special so it ends tomorrow!! 50% off your highest priced item WW50MOM (5-9 expires) 40% off your highest priced item WW52319 (6-7) 30% off your highest priced item WW51097 (6-7) for me the size runs true on this bra.

Not to worry they will disappear...I've had that happen to me too where the post shows up briefly on the next place you visit too, but they go away. Seems to be part of the double posting issue where your post will seem to show up twice in a single thread, and then it goes away.
