Free tank available; so unfair! NEW HOPE!

[Blucat]

it is too unfair. i've only got this puny 24g tank running, and i would do anything for a bigger one. but then what do i see in my city classifieds?

A FREE GIVEAWAY 46g glass tank with stand in perfect condition with free fw fish, plants, filter and pump!!!!!!!!!!!! and the tnak is running stil healthily!!!!!!

yet it is all the way across the other side of the city, about 45mins away and parents say its too far away...... boo hoo hoo hoo hoo
c'mon any aquarist would jump at that chance!

 

[lyquidphyre]

If there is a number, I would call and ask if it has already been picked up.. and if not GET ON YOUR HANDS AND KNEES AND BEG

 

[flipz]

id WALK there if i had to!!

 

[RoK]

I got my 29g from someone who lives a little less than an hour away and paid $225.
A 46g for free and doesn't live that far, heck I'd find a way to get there! (I don't have my license yet myself)

 

[Blucat]

moo hoo hoo....... parents are so stubborn....... and my dad even has a trailer to transport the stand! it wouldn't cost him anything but petrol to go and get it......

 

[Blucat]

oh my goodness another add for 550g+ tank with stand and canister filters for only US$280! and this one is 1 and half hours away

 

[ReefRaff]

[Blucat]

Tell your dad you will wash his car if he will take you. Get your snorkel gear ready, because that is a big one, hope your foundation supports it!

 

[Blucat]

its the free tank i am most interested in!!! its free!!!

Personal note - Run, walk, hitchhike. Too good of a deal to pass up.

Reality check - Is it that your parents to want to drive for 45 minutes or is it that they don't share your love of aquaria?

 

[Blucat]

both:they don't wanna drive as they are not so obsessed with aquaria...... dear me how annoyed i am. oh oh oh woe is me

 

[verucaproduce]

Too bad you don't have a birthday or something coming up. You could say that the ride there would be one of your presents.

 

[dralarms]

Offer to work off the cost of the petrol. That way it don't cost them anything but a little time.

TAKE A TAXI!!!

Just get that free tank. 8O

 

[severum mama]

Jeez Blucat, I can't believe they won't take you! Do you have any friends that can drive that your parents would let you ride with? Or as JChillin says, take a cab! LOL you've inspired me to check my classifieds today!

 

[RoK]

Where did you see the ad for it anyway, in the newspaper?

 

[Rach101]

Meet blucat, the most miserable and unluckiest person in the world..
That sucks man.. Id walk. Course you couldnt get it back that way.. but your parents would have to come get you.... but that would most likely get you in trouble... yeah dont listen to what i have to say lol

TAKE A TAXI!!!

Tell your parents you're going to take the taxi ON YOUR OWN, to meet up with a stranger ON YOUR OWN, to pick up a supposedly free tank that weighs as much as you do ON YOUR OWN... They'll either ground you or realize that you're serious about this. Seriously though, have you tried explaining that you feel passionately about this? I was lucky growing up in the sense my parents were reasonable, especially when they thought an activity might have some form of educational value. Of course, this doesn't work if you have too many things you feel passionaltely about and give up halfway.
