    My Gramma's Dieing

    Sorry for the mis-read. Thought it might be pun-ny. I wonder how they'll take it when I call in to work with the bad news. Probably say "That's the fourth one this week"

    My Gramma's Dieing

    I don't have any vodka. All I have is tequila. Plus that's alcohol abuse. Maybe I can put it in a shot of tequila and pretend it's a worm. Eeww

    My Gramma's Dieing

    I have a my royal gramma that's been in my tank now for about five years now. From what I read it's probably about that time. It goes from being stuffed behind a rock or floating up near the top.

Is this normal for this...
