Welcome to the 12 step program [smilie=grouphug.gif]

Hope this is better. How many of us does this remind you of ( 99.02%.) ?

Wow, that was sure easy! I've already finished step 12!

TOO TRUE!!

When I go to the pet store I have to walk around the crab tank so I don't bring one home. The BF doesn't wan't anymore right now. I want atleast 10 more micros for my tank

Sounds like a calendar...

omg thats to funny.... but i started out by looking around here first then bout the better glass tank then 2 friends...lol

Well, I'm on Step 8. Nice to have friends

I think this should be a sticky post that we can automatically refer all new crabbers to!

Just for clarification, is that not-paid for rescues only?

Technically any Hermie taken out of most of the stores is a rescue weather paid for or not. (my personal opinion).

Too Funny!!!

I think I have completed those 12 steps several times over!!!

wow thats perfect! i did all twelve steps and in that exact order!

THAT is so funny!

I was looking for somewhere to type about my scary addiction! I have found myself on ebay buying all kinds of crab foods, and then I found the Crabbage Patch website, and I have been going crazy!!! It really worries me! Then, about 3 weeks ago, I bought my first Straws!

And I find myself thinking about them ALL day, and what I can do to make their little lives better!!

I started decorating their crabitat, and even fixed up the stand it is sitting on! I mean, really obsessive like! My hubby thinks I have lost it I guess.
I bought my first crabs back in 96!!! I didn't know enough about them back them to keep them alive But I sure have learned a lot the past 10 years! Especially on the HCA!

This place is great

I think you need to add to a step addjust it.

Buy half a tank of Ecwees and try to sneak them past the spouse. "What? No, I've had that Ecwee for 6 months..."

Yes, I know. Piccies Piccies. Soon.

Not to worry dbolack, they are still waiting on my 40B pics .
I have done that to my hubbie with a few new crabs .

Kathy you have more babies than I do and I have completed the 12 steps four times now . I can't imagine how many times you have completed it .
