My little buddy Gabe died. I just found him. I know he was very old for a Betta, and I have really been expecting this any day, but it's still so awful to find him like that. He was so smart for a fish. I'm really going to miss him. I guess you guys think it's silly to get so upset over a fish, but he was such a good buddy to me for well over 2 years now. He was really smart for a fish. I can't believe he's really gone.

I realized that I didn't see the free for all this week, and checked and I'm no longer a member of ONTD Creepy!  WTF?  How did that happen?  I went over and submitted to re-join, but I can't figure out how I'm not a member anyway?  Did I accidentally quit?  It's so weird!!!!  It's my favorite group, so I just don't get it!

Some of my husband's coworkers lost their houses in the tornado last night.  It's so horrible!  I'm glad that our house was ok, and my mom and nephew are also ok and had no damage, but I am very sorry for those who weren't so lucky.

I have a rant that seems pretty unimportant after all the tornado damage, but I'm going to do it anyway because even a minor irritation is irritating.  Google has messed up the Google toolbar.  I LOVE my Google toolbar, or at least I used to.  I use a couple of different computers so by using the toolbar, I was able to keep them mostly the same.  But now, despite the fact that I have vast tracts of space on that toolbar, Google decided that they would hide all my buttons.  I can bring them back by clicking the "more" button, but then they disappear again.  It is really super annoying!  GOOGLE! GIVE ME MY BUTTONS BACK!  *SHAKES FIST*

Checking around the internet, it seems like it annoys all the other Google toolbar users as well.  I hope they fix it.  It's not nearly as useful to me with all the clicking I have to do on it now when I used to just have to click my button, now I have to click "more" then the button, then the next thing.  It's ridiculous!

I just heard a breaking news report that said one of the Canal Street levees may have just been breeched. I sure hope this turns out to be a false report. Perhaps it was just some overtopping from the extra water from Rita? This will certainly be a story to keep up with. I can't find anything online about it, but it was a breaking report on The Weather Channel just now.
