you have a gecko? cool. sorry he/she may have a problem. my sister had a bearded dragon named fred until it laid eggs. then she was fredwinna.


That was my leopard gecko's name, because I wanted to wait until it was old enough to tell if it was male or female to name it and my mom got tired of calling it "the gecko," so started calling it Fred, and that stuck. There were no eggs, but I think my Fred was a girl, too. My crested gecko is definitely a boy. His name is Anders, after the character in Dragon Age. Dr. Google says his eye issue is probably either an injury or a cataract. My mom knows some people who probably know of good reptile vets, so she's going to ask around for somewhere to take him to get it checked out, although there's probably not much, if anything, that can be done about it. But at least he's still got one good eye, so he isn't completely blind.

@April Temporarily vaping helps tremendously. Know many people who quit easily doing that. Do please know that you will gain weight when you quit smoking and will probably sleep a lot worse for a while. Just a warning. Not everyone experiences this but a lot do.

People in my Mass Media class were saying that all female characters on TV shows get portrayed as "weak and needy" as well as several other derogatory terms that I'm not going to repeat. I was furious. I mean, I could think of at least five very strong female characters right off of the top of my head. Even more came to me as I was on my way home after class.

I think the next fan-video I make will be a tribute to all the characters I came up with. Have a song in mind too, this should be fun.

I hate that with a passion too. For me, a female character doesn't have to be"strong" to be a good character. Realistic, multifaceted characters are much more important than an "action girl" who just exists to beat up everyone! Also i don't understand how being emotional and feminine are seen as weak, to me these are strengths since being in touch with your feelings show a much more balanced personality and emotional intelligence. How is that bad i'll never understand.

I failed her... I kept her safe for nearly 13 years at the cost of her being confined to a 10 foot by 10 foot room throughout her entire existence. Now she's a diabetic, and there is nothing I can do about it except maybe use the next 13 days to make up for it all...

Visited a local history museum in Accrington this afternoon, and there was a reproduction of a list of 68 workers killed in an accident at a coal mine in 1883. Three of them were 11 years old, and two of them were 10.
