Doh! This sucks dude(as if you weren't acutely aware of that).

My condolences; hope you get everything squared away again.
 
wow. that sucks. everyone's right though. at least no one was harmed and you weren't in bed or something. hang in there- it will all be better.
 
:censor:

My mom said that the insurance guy said it can take up to 4-6 months to get every thing cleaned up! WTF!? We can build houses in a month, why the heck cant they refurnish a house in a few weeks?! HALF a freaking year? Thats insain, I KNOW they can do it faster, my mom's boyfriend is gonna talk to them tomorrow. We arent cleaning up, the people who do that are.

Thanks for the plant offer ill rember that. But the wait is gonna be quite a while, I was hoping to get a job here soon to! If it is gonna be that long theirs a nice green house only 10 min's away from here, :-D

Thanks guys
Cheers

I was gonna upload videofootage of the house but the cabel seems bad.

*edit*

I just found out if it does take that long my mom is concidering moving in here with her boyfriend, that means moving away from all my friends, half hour drive their and back, which is gay! Cause im not moving schools, if we do im not paying gas for that, she will be. I dont want to move out here, and now she is trying to bribe me with a heated green house.

one good thing i guess is I get 3 new Tanks for CP's! two 10 gallon's and 1 30 gallon!

I dont know what to do with my mom though.

I can hook you up with a couple of these when I divide mine in a couple weeks if you can wait. I have tons of little ones popping up all over the place in my pot. Let me know.

Based on the medium Neps on Peter's site (he didn't have any large listed that I recall) I think you're pretty much right on the money with your values.
 
Made the first major purchase, a computer. But the stupid guy at best buy didn't tell us that the wireless keyboard isn't compatble with freaking Vista... I already hate vista... But w/e ill get over it after a few week's.

I also bought 4 shop lights that are 4 feet long for the plants, and im getting a 5 foot table, that should be suitable for now.
 
Thanks trapper

We haven't built the plant stuff yet, but i did get some Utric seeds in the mail and a Cacti cutting. The cacti grows like a foot a year! Should be cool to see it get big. It gets like 15 feet tall too and roots very easy from cuttings.

Well I got like 11 books that i had that got destroyed, which is nice..
Latin for dummies
Beekeeping for dummies
The ABC of Bee culture
The back yard beekeeper
Pitcher plants of the Americas
The savage garden
Carnivorous plants
Carnivorous plants of the united states and canada
Growing Carnivorous plants
Journey to the ants
The ants

Which is nice, im gonna go get some more clothing this weekend.
