00W's AIO Smorgasbord

[kevgib67]

Ya, my mother is all Swedish and could only make little meatballs in a sweet sauce with a side of little gummy fish. I grew up thinking pasta sauce came out of a jar. I married an Italian and wow she can cook. Friends tell me they can’t believe I’m not 300lbs ( I’m 5’2” and only 238 lbs). My wife makes an awesome stuffed cabbage soup as well. Hmm, for some reason I’m hungry now.

 

[Katrina71]

I'm a fat girl. I've been thinking about breakfast since I saw @00W cooking!

 

[kevgib67]

hmmm I dont know..hahah...started out on east coast, streets of NY City concrete jungle, Florida and now my tank roots, place I call home for now is in Arizona...but go everwhere and come back to AZ.

Wow, @1ocean you aren’t moving again with that 300g!

 

[Katrina71]

300g. I can't imagine having a tank that big! I'd never leave.

Im trying to do the math on how many 5 gallon buckets I would be lugging up from my basement to do my weekly 12.5% water changes. My back hurts just thinking about it!

I switched to 2.5 gallon containers for that reason.

The new tank will be roughly the same as what we do now. I have no room for an awc system.

Ya kinda the only thing holding me back from upgrading and the whole my wife. divorcing me also. I’m so low tech, I just recently figured out how to turn my phone on and off. The tank I keep being drawn to would need an awc system. My oldest son is a mechanical engineer and said he could do it. Another thing holding me back is my daughter is getting married in the spring of 2025, has anyone seen what weddings cost these days? I offered them $10,000 for down payment on house if they eloped. Of course they are selfish and want their wedding to be all about them! Gen z! :angry-face:

Offer 25k. You'd still be getting off cheaper.

Only that we developed methods that will propel this hobby decades into the future! Oh, and you missed some really important and cool pictures of breakfast food. One last thing we are a little bit closer to knowing if @Katrina71 really has a saltwater tank. You my friend are all caught up!

Will you contribute to my gofundme account?

Be honest, would it be wrong to make up that she has a twin sister also getting married in 2025 and I make a gofundme account for the made up twin, I know in almost every case this would be wrong but this is so I can upgrade my tank.

 

[fishguy242]

Y'all seen what happened w my go fund me right...still have not received yet...:(

Ya, I did I’m sorry, I contributed because I really wanted you to have the money. I’d been there before , I spent a month in University Hospital and I don’t know what the doctors told my wife but when I got home my practice of 23 years was closed and emptied out. It took 6 months to get Social Security and the GoFundMe account that was set up got me and my family by until the Social Security kicked in. Again, so sorry.

 

[fishguy242]

it's still coming ,just a matter of when ,in contact w GFM ,they are taking care of it...

 

[Katrina71]

OMG. That terrible!
