Hello
« on: November 01, 2009, 11:46:09 PM »
Hi everyone,
My name is Catherine and I'm a 25 year old California native. Aside from bettas my hobbies and interests include body modification, reading, video games, graphic/web design, photography, foreign languages, candle lit dinners and long walks on the beach. It's been about 4 years and I've found my way back here. I used to post every once in a while, mainly in the betta subforum, under the name Cat but the account was deactivated. Anyhow, stopped posting because I acquired one too many bettas after working at a LFS whose owner was more betta crazy as I was. (She'd go on trips to Thailand and hand pick bettas to be sent back to her store.) Eventually I stopped working there and all my bettas have passed on. :(

A few weeks ago I took my boyfriend's mother to Petco and she decided she was going to buy me a betta as a late/early birthday/Christmas present. Then a few days later I went and got one "for my boyfriend." Now I have one coming from Thailand on Wednesday (at least I think, not sure how all of that AquaBid business works out). The madness ensues, except this time I won't be surrounded by show quality bettas that I can have discounts on, haha.  :)

Welcome! Or welcome back... :hihi:
Bettas do have a way of getting in your blood, I don't have any right now, but I have had at least 1 for most of the last forty years.

Greetings & Salutations! Welcome back to Petfish. Just to refresh your memory, I am the only sane one here.
Intersting choice of screen name this go around. lol

Ever notice in the Bible, whenever God needed to punish someone,make an example or needed a killing, he sent an angel? Ever wonder what a creature like that must be like? An existence spent praising your God, but always with 1 wing dipped in blood. Would you really want to see an angel?
