What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
If I can make a suggestion: I don't see a lot of the conversation going on because, well...

Most of you know me pretty well so you likely understand that this means a LOT.

This meme is a trigger for me.

My father was a big Halloween fan. One year after I moved out he made a 12 foot tall Paper Mache Frankenstein for the front yard, witches on brooms suspended by ropes, etc. You get the idea, nuts.

Anyway one year when I was maybe 10 or 11 my father decided to design my Halloween costume. It looked very much like this picture except the arms and legs were also boxes that were hinged and the, whatever that is on the chest in the meme, area was a chute with a paper bag inside so when I went to a door I would push a lever and my chest would open up to accept the treats. It was uncomfortable and hard to walk in. After a little while all of my friends, yes I had a few, decided to 'go ahead a little bit', never saw them again that night. The good part was though that I scored more treats, and photos, than any other year.
Sounds like the best of times Tom. I smiled a lot reading that.


I miss my Dad.
 
Enjoy yourself, we’ll be here when you get back! Remember sunblock is your friend and melanoma is a thing. As a nurse you should be ashamed of yourself. Ok, back to making jokes at the Rocks expense like we have been doing for the last couple of days.
I'm more worried about the chemicals in the sunscreen brother. Humans were meant to absorb sunlight....not chemicals
 
Thread cleaned up and we are aware and looking into things. Thank you.

i was thinking the same thing tim. ive never used that option, but thinking now might be a good time 🤔

I also considered that option but the same basic thing from the same member is going on in multiple threads so I think it is time for the mods to do something about it.
I have a couple people in that bag, but the problem is that when someone new comes to the thread or someone who doesn't have him there yet can see his messages.
 
Lol We've all made mistakes brother.
I can't remember if that was before or after Brad. I didn't realize that Schultz only had one leg till I saw them in concert in the 80's. Thought it was odd that they were vacuuming the stage.

I was just pulling your leg! I Used rarely use it and Im half Swedish and the other half isn’t much better, Scottish, Welsh and Irish. As you know the Prograf I take after my transplant I’m not supposed to be in the sun without a floppy hat, full length pants and long sleeves. I would never want my physicians see my last vacation pics. 😉

How bout dark corals? 🙂
Oh my... this is a real gem sir. Would you mind selling me a frag! If it does as well as the worm culture that your Dad sent me, it'll be huge in no time!
 
Haven't forgotten about you all. I'm on vacation and not on my phone much!
Miss my family though!!

I would be too Rock but you’re not supposed to drink it! Apply it evenly on your exterior.

I already had him there from 3 or 4 previous threads.
