Whats even worse is...

I use a glass to thaw food for the anemones. I put a few silversides in it and SW and let it set for about 1/2 hour. One day I put it next to my drink and eventually picked up the WRONG one. I got the water to my lips just as I got a wiff of the smell. That would not hav tasted very good
