damn one of those smilies is BITING the dead horse... I thought it was only supposed to be BEATING a dead horse...
Anywho... Boogie, you're funny, I like you.

Stick around a while, would ya?
I've never kept FBN, but I hear that some of them prefer a terrestrial habitat (it seems to depend on the individual personality of the newt) and that age can also factor into how much land/water they prefer.
As for the GS floating... I have to say it... What did you expect? lol... It's foam! Foam floats, you silly thing...
GS does take a little practice.

That's why we usually tell people to do a practice bit first. If you (or your daughter) get it stuck to you again, try to resist rubbing or smashing it. Just let it expand and then peel it off. Be aware that if you don't do that right, you might peel your skin off with it, which can be particularly painful... I'm actually surprised I have fingerprints left.
Anyway, I'm off to skim through the new posts and then finish dinner. I do hope you'll stick around and help us keep things fun around here. Ans like beck said, don't give anyone rep until you've posted a bit and have gotten some rep yourself. The rep system is quite slow around here, and you'll not be able to give it to the same person more than once (at least until things pick up quite a bit around here).
