Working under a 'personality disorder' is very stressful....to say the least. This is coming from a 25 year psychiatric nurse.<br />I had a 125 lb. male Rottweiler that would have invited a burglar in and offered a cup of coffee. His looks were very threatening. His personality was more of a cuddly kitten. Oh, how I miss him. <br />I had a couple smaller aquariums over the years. I enjoyed them....to a degree. I hated when I paid big bucks for a fish and got up the next morning and it was floating on the top. I never got into the saltwater stuff. Too complicated and expensive. Now I'm down to a cat who is bi-polar. LOL! <br />Paranormal Johnanonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02520924185089589466noreply@blogger.com
