One of the few marine fish shops in Phoenix is closing its doors. Not surprising, Aquatouch used to be insanely great with freshwater, and salt, and awesome planted tanks. Then the main freshwater guy quit, almost all their rare plants died before a new guy came on, and quit, then another, and another, and it's been a rotating door. The owners give the reason they are retiring, but the word is more that they're closing up due to poo poo sales, which is because of the poo poo customer service and the lack of good stock.

Ground pork shaped into a rib-like form with overly sweet sauce on a flaccid bun is not a nightmare, just mediocre. At least it comes with pickles and raw onions for some taste and texture contrast, something most McDonald's food is missing.

Ah Christ, did I really wrote that? No wonder I broke 200 lbs again.

I don't know any people with the cash to maintain a tropical fish setup. Especially saltwater. I'm amazed there's a market for it at all. This place is near me https://g.co/kgs/sI6Tqg . They've got an amazing selection of equipment and sea creatures that I can't imagine anyone having the money to maintain. Not even considering the initial investment in the tank and filters, some of the fish are just ridiculously expensive. I realize most people that own them can afford the cost of having someone clean and maintain them. I still can't imagine the costs involved though.

If I were a wealthy man, bet your rear end I'd have a bad rear end saltwater rig. I'll make due with my two goldfish for now.

It was pretty decent but ABC has way better sitcoms in way better timeslots. The cast took turns dunking on the main character.

It was more that it was just OK ratings wise, Tim Allen is a dick, he demands a higher salary, and no one wants to advertise on super political shows.

Find a dying mall by you and loot one of the closed shops. Stores will just leave that stuff there for the next owners to clean out since it's usually never in good enough condition to dismantle and reuse at a retail level, but would work and look fine if you painted it.

edit:
Or email RadioSHack and see if they'll let you buy some of it for like $20.

It was cancelled for financial reasons. The actors were going to get a pay bump and it wouldn't of been profitable with the current ratings so they booted it. Conservative idiots don't understand economics and think it was because he is pro trump. Roseanne is getting rebooted on the same channel and is also pro trump.

Wasn't it also because ABC wasn't making enough money off of syndication to offset the costs?
