I have a female Red Devil Cichlid who just laid eggs for the first time today and her egg laying tube is still exposed. About how long will it take for this tube to go back inside of her? I also do not have a male in the tank with her, so what will happen to the unfertilized eggs? Will she eat them, or do I have to clean them out of the tank? Any help will be appreciated :-)

I was wondering if you could recommend any good "how to" sites for working with Fimo and/or Sculpy clay?

I am pretty new to this and had some questions. Do you use molds to make fimo/sculpy figurines, or do you sculpt them by hand? And also how do you make beads with intricate patterns in them? Any help will be appreciated! Thanks!

I'm not trying to offend anyone with this question, I'm just curious.

I am Wiccan and I have a Christian friend. We have a mutual friend who has recently moved into a new house. Our friend told us that he had been experiencing some negative feelings in his new home and decided to use white sage to clear the negativity.

My Christian friend said that our friend had sinned by using white sage to get rid of "evil spirits". I asked her why this was considered a sin and she explained that nowhere in the Bible does it mention using white sage to get rid of negativity. She also said that our friend should have prayed and asked for God to get rid of the negativity.

So basically what my Christian friend is saying is that if something isn't mentioned in the Bible then it is a sin. I don't see cars or computers being used in the Bible, so is using those items considered a sin too? I don't get it...

Again, I'm not trying to offend anyone, I'm just trying to understand my friends reasoning behind her statement.

I just read about proxy baptisms ( where they baptize a dead person so they can be "saved"). Why would someone do this? Isn't it an insult to the deceased? I am Wiccan and I know that is someone baptized me after I died ( considering I knew about it ) I would be angry.

I live in an apartment complex and I have been having issues with my neighbors across the hall for almost 8 months now and they still haven't been evicted! Here is what's going on:

There is a lady and her 2 year old son living there. She lets her son run around, stomp on the floor, jump around, scream, and pound on walls. I know when they get home and when they leave because they are loud in the hallway and also when they walk past my balcony window, Sometimes she has guests over as well and they bring their children which causes even more noise.

Some of this occurs after 10 pm, and the apartment office will leave her notices on her door. Other times, this noise will happen before 10 pm and the office says that they can't do anything about it. My issue is, that no matter what time this goes on, I find it annoying and disruptive. I have placed several complaints with the office and I told them that I feel that they aren't taking the situation seriously. I also recently sent a formal letter to the property owner and I still haven't gotten a reply.

I don't want to move- I don't have issues with anyone else and the apartment complex is in a decent neighborhood. Is there anything else I can do ( legally or otherwise ) that might get them evicted or maybe finally get the point across to them? I don't want to cause any issues, I just want them to be quiet or get evicted.

Thanks in advance for any good advice :-)

I was wondering if anyone knows of any good websites dealing with Dragon Magick? I'm not looking for anything regarding the roll playing game, but actual Wiccan Dragon Magick ( spells, chants, etc.)

Thanks :-)

Please no answers trying to tell me that my spirituality is wrong or that such sites don't exist.
