The gift was probably a little bowl of water containing a few tiny fish and some fish food.  I remember receiving mine when I was in grade school. It was probably the first time I was officially made responsible for caring for other living creatures. I also remember how sad I was when weeks later I found them floating in cloudy water, dead. As a child, I felt my failure deeply.   I still remember when my brothers and sisters and I buried them in the garden with a little ceremony overseen by my mom. I will never know what killed that fish, but the range of possibility is large — the amount and kind of food, jimmy germs from failing to wash hands before p

Best animated films of all time, according to critics - Waco Tribune-Herald Best animated films of all time, according to critics - Waco Tribune-Herald Posted: 31 Jan 2021 06:00 AM PST Animated films have long outgrown their made-for-kids clothes. In fact, as any true movie-lover can attest, animated films today rub elbows with the greatest live-action movies of all time. What was once primarily relegated to the family genre is a full spectrum of animated styles, subjects, and motifs. They join an already legendary list of classic works from production houses like Studio Ghibli and Pixar.

Going Deep with Aquarium Décor | Current Issue | petbusiness.com - Pet Business Magazine Going Deep with Aquarium Décor | Current Issue | petbusiness.com - Pet Business Magazine Posted: 05 Jan 2021 12:00 AM PST Kolevski Voislav "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder" and "one man's trash is another man's treasure" are two axioms that apply to the subject of aquarium décor. First, consider who is to be the judge of the décor. Is it the creator or the person who assembled all the elements and brought them together? Perhaps, in a home, the judging is done by the family as a whole—everyone gets to put in their two cents worth.

The ultimate judges of your aquarium décor are the live inhabitants. If the fis
