Mystery of the Missing Fish

It's time for another installment of "The Vicious Lives of Fishes", featuring the guppies in my old glass malted milk jar.  The last time, I had changed the water and accidentally crushed one of the females with a slippery rock.  That left me with 5 guppies left, 1 male and 4 females.  Then I bought a pink and yellowish-green plastic plant, then a baby fish immediately appeared.  Actually, 2 baby fish appeared.  Then I saw a third one, but that vanished.  Then when I changed the water today, one of the females had gone.  I'm sure she didn't go down the drain, because I use a strainer, unless she got stuck to the plastic plant when I pulled it out.  Where did these fish go?  It's not like a baby fish because it's too big to allow itself to be cannibalized.  If it jumped out, I didn't see any fish carcasses in my bedroom.  Fish mysteriously disappear from my fish bowl.  Now I have 1 adult male guppy, 3 adult females, and 2 babies.  The male fish seems kind of tired after I changed the water.  Maybe it's time I need a new male fish.

Qur'an 20170323

In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.

39.  If only the unbelievers knew when they would not be able to ward off the fire from their faces, nor yet from their backs, and no help can reach them!

40.  No, it may come to them all of a sudden and confound them.  No power will they have to avert it, nor will they get respite.

41.  Mocked were messengers before you, but their scoffers were hemmed in by the thing that they mocked.

42.  Say, "Who can keep you safe by night and by day from the Most Gracious?"  Yet they turn away from the mention of their Lord.

The Prophets  21:39-42

Thank you

for your concern, but I am doing OK.  Alhamdulillah.  I'm just taking it easy for a while, watching TV, playing with my kitties.  I've been eating scrambled eggs and sliced bread a lot.  It's quick and easy to cook, eat and clean up.  I hope you are not overworking or anything like that.  Save your heart, please.  Save your heart for me.

Natty, you're making it seem like you're finding work for your buddies.  That's cool honey, just don't pay their wages.  Work on your own wealth and well-being, please.  That's what matters to me.

How's it going?

I'm doing OK, so please don't worry.  I hope you are feeling great and having a great time.  I want you to eat properly, and get plenty of rest.  OK?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Qur'an 20170321

In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.

23.  God cannot be questioned for God's acts, but they will be questioned.

24.  Or have they taken for worship gods besides God?  Say, "Bring your convincing proof.  This is a Message of those with me and the Message of those before me."  But most of them know not the truth, and so turn away.

Hi Mateo

Say, that's a handsome cat.  He seems very dignified.  You must share cat tails with me.  I have 3 unfixed females in the house, and they're all spoiled.  Spoiled brat cats.

In this country, we have a health care system that could be called "socialized health care", where the government subsidizes part of the cost so that every citizen has access to health care.  Nothing is perfect of course, so let me explain the hierarchy so you understand what you're dealing with.  The front line is the clinic, where a patient gets the first inspection of whatever the ailment is.  This is usually done by an intern (somebody who's paying off his school loan) under the supervision of a boss doctor.  If at this check up they decide that you need further treatment, then a gang of guys in white will incarcerate you in the public hospital.  I've never tried refusing to go, but I do know that it's easy to abscond once you're there.  Once in hospital, the patient receives inspection from groups of doctors (interns with more experience), they will yak among themselves and decide on a diagnosis.  The real experts, the specialists, are few and here in Kangar, they usually come from out of town maybe once a month or so each.  They will decide what further tests need to be done and an official diagnosis to where a treatment is carried out.  This takes time of course, and can be hell especially in 4th class.  There are also private clinics which cost more, and if a private doctor decides you need to go to hospital, then they will write you a letter to show the public hospital.  This of course gives you plenty of room to refuse treatment.  To seek different opinions for instance.  To doctor yourself.

Natty honey, you look so thin in that bikini top.  I hope you're eating adequately and getting plenty of rest.  I know you naturally have a light appetite, but please take sweet loving care of yourself.

Hello my darling

I love you , and I hope you are doing great.  I don't have much to say, I'm just trying to take it easy.  I still have to work, but I'm trying to take it easy.

Natty honey, you are becoming so sophisticated.  No, don't get a tan.  I don't like tanned skin.  I'm proud to see you become such a lady.
