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.

Hello,

Seth from the Upper Valley between Vermont and New Hampshire in
the USA here. I have a small, 110-gallon indoor pond with a lot of
plants, a few koi, and a few goldfish. I mostly live vicariously
through other people's ponds. I help manage the fish room of one of
the local pet shops and I help people understand fish-keeping science,
proper setup, and proper maintenance.

I live with my partner, have two stepsons, two incredibly
mischievous cats, an ultra-bitchy African Grey parrot, two fish tanks,
and more house plants than you can count. I am very much into
gardening and outdoor activities in general. Good to read about all
of you.

Good idea...
Bobby, 36 live in Mesa Arizona just east of Phoenix. This is our
first house, had the pond for 4 years. First thing I did when we
moved in! Always had aquariums, kept at bucket pond on the apt.
balcony before the house. Have Koi, a "mystery" goldfish that showed
up on his own, 2 aquariums (one is the koi nursery), parakeets,
cockatiels, a mangy black cat who doesn't bother the birds or fish, 2
desert tortoises, 2 shelties "Mojo" 9 and "Deja Vu" 3 yrs old. Live
with my partner of 7 years, thank gosh he puts up with me and all my
animals!!!

Kirsten, 49, just relocated to Marietta, GA (just north of Atlanta) from San
Diego after 30 years there--just couldn't come up with half a mil++ to buy a
house there! One of the reasons I bought my house here was because of the
pond...little did I know what was involved :-)
I sell clothes at Nordstrom Department Store, travel, have two "kids"
Joey, my orange tabby and Charlie-girl, my black Persian mutt kitty.
Currently have five goldfish--one being the sole survivor from the former
owner who said, "there might be fish in there, I'm not sure"! I decided he
needed buddies, and it's so cool to see him swimming right next to them all
the time.

I'm a civil War Re-enactor. I have been on A&E, History Channel,ect. I
was also in God's and Generals the movie. So between that and ponding I
have no time for anything else.

Once in a while I get to a car show. Me and my wife Rosemary have a
customed PT Cruiser we show.

We live in Lima, Ohio

Dave 65 and Carrie 57 retired and recently left MD/DC area for beautiful WV.
Ex-physicist and ex-computer analyst. We have 3 adult sons between us

Had a small pond when I lived in VA and built a slightly larger one when I
moved to my wife’s house in MD. My third one here in WV is the largest at
about 1400 gallons. Still tuning the waterfalls, so we have not introduced fish
yet.

My name is Godwin, I am a recovering PORG? Heck no, I am deep into PORG and
loving it.

In order to afford my PORG habits I practice Architecture on the side. I am
a Principal in one of the largest Architectural Firms on the West Coast of
USA.
My Younger Brother and I are in to this Koi habit (see his pond pictures in
my link below)

In addition to ponding, I collect classic American Cars (V8), and I love
Fishing (California to Mexico, to Canada, to Alaska) What a dichotomy!
I also love to travel. My family and I just got back from a Father's Day
trip to Mexico. Puerto Nuevo....All the Lobster I can eat......

My biggest interest for sure though is my family! My 3 brothers, 2 sisters,
mother (my father passed away), wife, and other family members. The worth
of a man is the family that loves him.

And I look forward to a friendly contest with BV as the resident court
jester! (He does have a head start on me though, being that English is my
second language!)

Forgot to add that I live in Beautiful Rancho Cucamonga, California. I can
go skiing in the morning, and same morning go down to the beach, or go
hiking in the mountains! All within 30 minutes of me. Or for a 3 hour
drive be in Las Vegas, or Mexico, or Palm Springs, or Santa Barbara, or Los
Angeles, or .....!
