    dang...a little pre-Easter excitement. Projects get expensive when you have to pay ambulence and emergency room bills.

    Well, *that's* going to cut into the aquarium budget! Hope it turns out to be minor.

    best part about it all is insurance doesn't pay for the ambulance rides usually....comes out of pocket...
