Rec.ponds Roll Call?

Just wondering if rec.ponds ever does a roll call every now and then?

Just to see where everyone is from and what other interests and hobbies
they may have?


Hello - this is Jacqui in Hamilton, Ontario. I've had a small pond for
about 5 summers now. Lucky me, it came with our house!! I've got a great
hubby who gamely helps me tackle all "our" projects and 3 sweet little
girls... hoping to adopt a 4th in a couple of years (need a bigger house
first!).

My pond is currently about 300 gal and I'm hoping this summer to use only
biological filtration, nothing mechanical. I have a basset hound with a
fondness for extension cords, so we want to keep her safe. I'm stocking up
on watercress & water chestnuts from the Asian Grocery near us & got a ton
of hornwort from my mom's pond. We have a few goldfish, mostly rescues
from the feeder fish tanks at Petsmart - a treasure trove if you care to
take a chance.

Other hobbies... pottery, reading, collecting My Little Ponies, researching
all things Chinese, trying to get my kids to eat vegetables, cooking and
shopping.
