    Well the problems started thursday last week when I started getting sick, nothing bad just congestion and a mild sore throat. Well since it's progressed into severe headaches, bad cough, even more sore throat, worse congestion, general body aches, and no strength at all. Now about an hour ago, my friend went to borrow my truck to go get some groceries and he comes in saying it won't start, wtf. It was running beautifully yesterday. It won't even try to turn over, just hear the contacts in the engine click and that's it. I'm thinking it has to do with my ancient remote start. It has a kill switch built in that won't allow the truck to start at all and I think it got tripped somehow. Now I just have to wait for AAA to get here so they can take it to a Firestone and hopefully get it fixed in the morning. Oh, and this was also the same week that I sliced the side of my finger off as well.

    Hang in there, it sounds like you are getting all of your bad stuff out of the way for quite some time.

    No, the battery has plenty of juice, stereo, lights, sensors, all work fine. Well the towtruck just picked it up. But, it gets even worse now. I come back inside to find my tank a cloudy white mess. Trying to find the culprit, I see everyone of my limpit snails perched in the highest spot they can find shooting jets of white stuff out, spawning is the only thing that comes to mind. Great, I'm having all sorts of problems and the snails have the nerve to insult me by getting busy, the nerve. I have about 8 of these suckers and they are all about .75" to 1.25" and they don't seem to want to stop and in only a 29 gal tank, it builds up fast. Needless to say, I'm quickly mixing up a new batch of water for a change. Don't have any on hand as I just did my water change this weekend. Is there any immediate danger with all of this stuff in the water right now? I'm getting a change in as soon as i can and i have a skimmer and phosphate/carbon reactor running.
