Only Together 1 Week

[adamina_brod]

My girlfriend and I have only been together for 1 week, but I want to buy her something to show her how I feel about her thus far. I think she actually wanted an anklet for Christmas. I want to buy it online since all my cash money has dried up because of the upcoming holiday and all I have now is $105.00 is my pay pal account.

I was wondering if anyone could please recommend a place where I can buy a nice gold anklet for her online, preferably at wholesale price?

I tried it once or twice when I was younger, it was never appealing to me. I think my dad likes it.

Isn't it like bologna or hotdogs; ie a compilation of a whole bunch of different meat and meat parts?

Good catch on the OP!

My mom use to make Spam all the time growing up. She made it tons of different way, and I didn't like it any way she made it. Just the smell of it turns my stomach. Steve says he's never had it and wouldn't mind trying it. I told him he'll never find me making it!

hahaha a pet clam!

A CLAM for a pet?!
Why not, we've got one!! Read on to learn basic care and management of your fresh-water clam.



Just the facts:
In general, any member of the invertebrate class Bivalvia are mollusks with a bivalved shell (i.e., one with two separate sections). More than 12,000 species of bivalves are known, of which about 500 live in freshwater; the others occur in all seas. Bivalves usually live on sandy or muddy bottoms.

True clams, in the strict sense, are bivalves with equal shells closed by two adductor muscles situated at opposite ends of the shell, and with a powerful, muscular, burrowing foot. Clams characteristically lie buried from just beneath the surface to depths of about 0.6 m (2 feet). They rarely travel over the bottom as do some other bivalves. Most clams inhabit shallow waters, in which they are generally protected from wave action by the surrounding bottom. One species of abra clam (Abra profundorum), however, has been taken in the Pacific Ocean at a depth of more than 4,800 m (16,000 feet).

Clams draw in and expel water for respiration and feeding through two tubes, the siphons, or neck. The water is impelled by the beating of millions of cilia (hairlike structures) on the gills; other cilia strain food from the incurrent water and transport it, entangled in mucus, to the mouth. Eggs are usually shed by the female into the water and fertilized there by sperm released from the male. The eggs develop into larvae that swim briefly before settling permanently on the bottom. A few clams, such as the gem clam (Gemma), have internal fertilization and development.

The size of clams ranges from 0.1 mm (0.004 inch) in Condylocardia to 1.2 m across in the giant clam (Tridacna gigas) of the Pacific and Indian oceans.

Care for your pet clam:

We keep our clam ("Clammy Sosa") in a ten gallon aquarium with snails, a painted turtle ("Adrock"), and a goldfish ("Earl"). The tank has a gravel bottom. This is acceptable only if the gravel is about 4 inches deep, so the clam can burrough and feel safe. Sand is the best thing for them to live in but it's nearly impossible to keep clean, and your tank may start to stink even after you clean it, unless you use fresh sand with each cleaning. Being filter feeders, they will help keep your tank clean by eating the left over fish food, as well as bacteria. If you feel as though your clam is not getting enough to eat, finely grind flake fish food between your fingers and add to the tank, your clam will love you for it!! Also, occasionally add a leaf or two to the tank and allow it to decompose, don't worry, your clam will eat it and the tank will soon be clean again! Clams also prefer fairly calm water so if you have a filter, make sure it's not too powerful! If your clam developed algae on his shell, it's best not to wash it off as clams make a mucous in which they entrap food, cleaning the clam will strip him of his moucus and he will have to spend several days making more before he can eat again, it probobly will not kill him but he'll be pretty upset with you, not to mention, your tank will get nasty without his help.:)

I don't think he is a fresh water clam...I added salt to the bowl of water hoping it may make him feel more at home. :whoa:

I recall having it at a friend's house once...fried. It's not too awful. Tastes salty, and much like you'd expect. Canned lunch-meat ish. It had a lot of fat ...

They make turkey spam now...that almost scares me more.

On another note: salt + water does not = the saltwater habitat of a clam, I'm afraid to say. Rock salt tends to be closer. You could always get the saline mix they use in aquariums. Also, feed him cornmeal, no joke ....s'how my dad used to fatten his.

My two older daughters have hermit crabs as pets Hermie and Kermie; I did not name them they did, and they didn't even get them at the same time.

[septemberbride06]

I came to pick-up my son one night after work and walking up the porch I could smell it....I smelled it all the way home cause I guess It was on our clothes...nasty stuff

Heads up ladies ...

I have since found out that the proper word for what this poster is doing is called "shilling"

I just wanted to point out what IMO is happening here and it kind of ties in with some current threads regarding shilling.

It is unlikely enough that a one time poster is going to jump on a forum and and ask for advice regarding where to buy gifts that are available in every department store, discount store, shopping center, sure it happens... but when this unlikely scenario is then further made even more unlikely by another 'first time poster' chiming in with the 'perfect website' for such gifts, I am sorry but this then has to be labeled for what it is, SHILLING.

Shilling in its various forms ranges from this example which in my opinion is quite obvious to very complex and subtle systems of posters working over the long term to invent persona's that are indistinguishable from real posters.

The insidious element of shilling on the internet is that the posters on a forum are totally anonymous which makes it the perfect venue for this type of scam. The shill posts will have very believable questions and comments making the shill sound like any other member. It can difficult if not impossible for real members of a forum to see thru these shill posts especially the subtle ones.

I would guess that these scammers with a new website and no 'business' have nothing better to do with their time than to try and drum up some business using every trick in the book and apparently even very dishonest methods such as shilling.

This person also posts on many boards. Here are a few of the nics they use -
