@Kory: So the Honest Repairman showed up, took a look around at stuff, and informed us that the guy who came yesterday DELIBERATELY SABOTAGED THE A/C COMPRESSOR SO WE'D HAVE TO REPLACE IT. So basically what should have been a simple fix turned into quite possibly thousands of dollars to replace the system.
Honest Repairman had recommended this company when he couldn't come out right away, so he's pissed, too. He called the owner of the company to have a "talk" with them. I don't know if anything will come of it but personally I think the guy should be fired and they should have to replace the unit themselves. For free.

@Kory: Lol, I have the spray bottle for my plants/isopods. I've kinda given up hope at this point; I have to be awake by 8 for the A/C guy since the access point to the attic is in my room. I'd get barely three hours even if I fell asleep immediately, and would probably be more miserable until I could pass out. So I think I'm just going to stick it out now.
That's not to say the mist isn't a good idea. If we end up having to replace the system, which will take longer, I think I'll give it a shot. :)

@Juliette: Well, I can't sleep and our A/C went out yesterday morning, but other than that I'm good, lol. Hoping the A/C gets fixed later this morning; I'll probably pass out as soon as it cools off in the house. But that's only IF it can be fixed; the other guy who's already looked at it seems to think the system needs to be replaced.
So I'm a little stressed, lol, but otherwise okay. I just had a popsicle at 4:30 in the morning, so. XD

@Kory: It was about 1:30am when I last posted. It's a little after 3 now and I had to give up sleeping because it's too hot; the heat is setting off my motor tics really badly and making sleep entirely impossible.
So here I am again. Sigh.
Your avatar looks super cute. :3
@Juliette: Hiya, Juliette, how are you doing tonight? Or whenever you're reading this? lol

@Kory: No; roommate's regular A/C guy is coming tomorrow first thing to (hopefully) repair it. He thinks he can repair the freon link the other guy thought totaled out the unit. Fingers crossed!!
And we're doing our best to stay cool. Fans and in my case laying on ice packs lol.
How are you doing? :D

@The Monster: You could probably use Imgur for hosting pics. I use it and it's not the best--it's organization leaves something to be desired--but it gets the job done.

Air conditioners are stupid and we need a new one and it's freaking HOT in here and it sucks.

@Ava: I think I've helped people with betta purchases in the past. Been a long time though. At least you tried to help them make the right choices!
And right? It's so cute. :3

@Ava: Yeah I try not to use it either; even on my website where I have a page dedicated to my pets past and present, I have a disclaimer on my cat's name.
Yeah, I hate that smaller pets are treated so poorly, though yeah a lot of it is ignorance. I once was buying something at a pet shop and had an employee give me the spiel about how bettas 'live in puddles' and 'don't need a lot of space/heater/etc' and I couldn't help myself but correct her. I don't think she believed me though. Oh! I remember what it was, I think it was when I bought this little heart-shaped tank that was marketed for bettas (but was WAY too small) and I explained that I was buying it not for a fish because it was too small, but for sea monkeys. And then she went and told me how it was fine for a betta. I know I probably shouldn't have bought the tank in the first place because it only supports the 'bettas in tiny tanks' thing, but it was so cute. 😅
I saw an article once on someone whose hermit crab had gotten to the size of a softball I think, it was huge (and old). It was really cool.
This isn't the article I saw but check this out!!

Whoops! Totally forgot to respond to this thread!! Sorry. ^^;
@Ava: Ah, yeah, a lot of people I think just didn't know better and still don't when it comes to the g-word. All you can do is try to educate people I guess. I feel bad that "Gypsy" is a song by Fleetwood Mac that I really like. ^^;
You're not wrong about bettas; people think of them as just living decor and it's awful. I've heard of people buying them to use as centerpieces at their wedding receptions!! Like I'm sorry, if you don't have a bunch of people willing to adopt them what are you doing to do with them? D:
And yeah, some hermit crabs can also get pretty big if raised properly, though I guess most people don't get theirs to that point. Up to like six inches I think!
@The Monster: I've got a little baby aloe on my desk! Actually it's a pair, growing together. I may need to separate them eventually but for now they're still really small. Lithops are so cool! They kind of intimidate me though, I don't know if I'd be able to care for them properly. Mimosa plants are neat too; I remember when I was a kid we had one by our front porch. I'd love to keep one as a houseplant; I'm fascinated by the way they close up when touched.

@Ruby: Yeah! Very similar logo to the electronics store, too, though I have no idea if they are now or ever were actually related.

Aw, baby! :3
That's really annoying the shelter didn't warn you about her being ill, but I'm glad you've gotten a handle on it. :)
