Where are all the sea monkeys?

Sea monkey action has been down the last couple of evenings. Maybe it's the economy.
(I am now blaming everything on the economy--"Auntie, why is the sky blue?" "It's the economy, honey. You'll understand when you grow up.")
Trying to cut back on usage, it was becoming to addictive.
Sea monkeys are definitely affected by economic forces.
She's so damn rough! Must've gotten out of the slanket.

Oh, No!!I don't want it to go that way!
I am okay with my addiction!
I can quit ANY TIME!!

I blame global warming.
Oy, I think I'm going to up-chuck. ::queezy::
Whoa, it's way too early for even you to be up.
Thanks, Lori...one of my kids has a nightmare, or else I'd probably still be sleeping...might go back to sleep, if I can...
Thanks, Lori. I'm also feeling exhausted in general. Anyone else feeling that late-winter exhaustion?
I have.I've been so tired lately, regardless of how many hours I sleep. And even when I do get a chance to sleep early or in, I don't wake up feeling quite rested.
Is it a late-winter thing?
i am tired right now Nools. i got home from work and eventually laid down on the couch with a book and fell asleep and then went to bed at 9:30 and read for about 2 hours and then slept all night and i STILL feel tired this morning
I think that too much sleep is almost worse than too little sleep. Sometimes it is just harder to wake up.
My sea monkeys thrived and multiplied so much that they were using up all their own oxygen and eventually killed themselves off. I just couldn't shake up enough bubbles for them... no matter what I did. It made me v. sad.

I like my answer better...though mine never looked like that...
A brine shrimp (up close and personal).

Every little kid imagined a thriving terrarium full of little water monkeys, but ended up with a quart of water with little floaty specks in it that perhaps moved and wiggled every now and then.
Also, the X-Ray glasses couldn't really see through clothes.
That's what we all told you, anyway.

The really interesting thing about my seamonkeys... I found the package that a friend gave me for a Christmas gag gift TWO YEARS later... and I debated on whether or not to throw away the package... and decided... "why the hell not" because I knew I had nothing to lose by trying to activate them. They still hatched. Apparently brine shrimp eggs can lay dormant for infinity until you activate them with water. Cool, huh?
Yup, Heidi. That's their survival strategy. They will outlive us all.
But they need air bubbles, so apparently we still have control!
That sense of control is just an illusion. Pass it on.
No it's not. I killed all my sea monkeys (by not keeping them happy in a container with enough bubbles). I didn't want to do it... I mourned them. I still did it, though.
Are you saying you did it on porpoise? Sea monkey homicide? They had homes and families, you know. I saw them in the ads. It was like 1950s suburbia in that bowl, and you were the bomb.
brine shrimp? rig-g-g-ghhhtyou guys are really funny

Is your water over-chlorinated?
