I'm Jess. I just turned 22 on the 23rd. I live in Ottawa/Ontario/Canada. I have been with Rob for almost 6 years (will be 6yrs on Jan 30th) & now that he has a GREAT paying job, we can finally pay OFF the school loans & bills (everything will be paid off by aug of next year ).

I work in a Postal Outlet. I'm the Boss back there, which is BS if u ask me, the store manager always takes over so NOTHING ever goes right in post office. I need his help sometimes, I lack some management skills, but not in everything.

I have 4 cool critters. (all r in my sig)

-Axle is a 4 year old male Common Snapping Turtle (giant). He lives in a 160 gallon pond beside my bed. He DOES NOT BITE. She only claws the heck out of my hands .He's very active & always wants to move about. They r suspost to be quiet & lazy critters, I guess he didn't read the manual.

-Oscar is a 3 year old female Tiger Oscar. Shes a foot long & lives in a 55 gallon tank (I thought it was 45 gallon, but I'm just stupid heheh). Shes a great fish to look at, I LOVE her BIG bug eyes (they stick out of her face). She can do a few tricks. She'll jump 1/2 way out of the water to bite my fingers & take her food at the same time & yes it hurts. She can also put my whole thumb into her mouth & make it bleed, good trick eh

-Jack is a 3 year old female "mini" Jack Dempsey; the silly thing should be as big as Oscar but just wont grow. Shes about 6 inches now. She is super pretty, she has sparkiling blue on her fack & gills. The edges of all her fins & tail now have dark red on them.& she can go from being dark to white in colour (Oscar can do this too). Jack & Oscar live to gether & all they do is bicker hehehehe. None ever get hurt, I honestly think Jack likes it, she starts them & eggs Oscar on.

-Mango is a 2 year old male Red Devil "FROM HELL". I'm not joking at all, hes by far from being a QUIET fish. Hes very LOUD!!! He chews on things (his castle is almost colourless now, he's chewed all the pain off) just like a dog does, plays with bird rings, attacks bubbles like there is no tomorrow. He'll jump out of the water & SMASH his face into the tank lid trying to kill all the bubbles. He needs bubbles because he's so big, hes almost a foot long. He also tried to kill me every chance he gets. I walk into my room & SMASH SPLASH, CHOMP CHOMP, SCRAPE SCRAPE!!!! u can hear his teeth scratch the glass & u can hear his jaws close, thats how strong his jaws r. I DO NOT put my hands in there. I corner him in a net, unless he attacks the net & takes it from me Yes this fish thinks hes the boss & so far the darn thing is winning.


Rob & I plan on moving out next August (maybe earlier if needed). I plan to buy Oscar & mango each a 100 gallon tank (the fish store ALWAYS sells used ones for $100.00 or less. Its basicaly $1.00/gallon unless its a painted one. My 55 gallon (Oscars tank) cost me $40.00, it was painted blue on the back & 1 side (its so the fish don't see eachother & kill themselves through the glass).

Well thats me as of right now
