Reply to that message as a bump. He's been busy with life and family stuff lately per a recent post he made. Sometimes giving a bump triggers his remembering and keeps it from falling through the cracks.
 
Fish just arrived. My wife's going to float it and put it in for me but her response was "it doesn't look that good" I asked what that means and she says "it doesnt look very alive, but it breathes once in awhile" :disappointed-face: I don't even feel it's ethical to order fish from them in the future if I win a gift card.
I'd have her open the bag as well. Agitate the water once in a while to introduce some oxygen

I was worried abiut ammonia over the course I f 48hrs in that bag so i told her to just float and plop it in. By now shes probably done just waiting on a phone call from her
 
If they are happy there, leave em brother! You can still see them to enjoy them right?
Yeah, but reefing with OCD is a curse sometimes lol
 
What shift do you work John? You are posting while I'm dreaming of unicorns and skittles!
I work a little bit of every shift lol. These are my off nights, and I spend them enjoying my solitude. Usually day shift, but I'm there when one of my guys has to be out, or whenever the room needs me.

Oh, I know brother. My torches are spaced on the egg crate with two squares each torch and two squares width between rows. My wife moved one for some reason and I immediately moved it back to where it was. She gave me the stink eye, but she knows my OCD and being a perfectionist
 
I just do straight horsey sauce for my curly fries.
Mine is basically straight horsey sauce with a just a hint of ketchup. I like the spiciness of the horseradish. I also have them hold the arby sauce on my double beef and cheddar and then I slather horsey sauce on that. Dang, I know where I'm stopping on the way home. I'm making myself hungry
