Adorable!
 
Adorable!
He's lucky he is. Lol just kidding though he's my oldest and I have had him longer than I have had my husband. He's been with me through lots of good times and bad times and I have cried on him lots of times. When he was younger we hiked a lot of miles together and seen a lot of beautiful views.

Good night peanutbuttercup!
 
Good night peeps, way past my bedtime! Thanks to @John Doe ’s picture you can all see I need my beauty sleep, real bad!
 
no i dont have wrasses...
Oh, okay well. Because you dip everything I don't believe you would have them. Just check the fleshbands every now and then to make sure you don't see any.
 
Yesterday I was looking at lids but they were too expensive, + $250 no way I'm paying that for now hahaha, I already make the order ( $34 ) to make one like the one I had in 32, not visually the best but 100% does the job
 
Morning everyone.
Power came back on @3.
My kids were doing the scoop and pour on the tank for oxygen.
Cute.
Very dedicated kids.
I left for work @2, Power out still for lots, going to be a busy day feeding people.
Duty calls.
Have a great day guys!
