Good morning and happy wednesday!

There is nothing permanent except change. Heraclitus

There is a lot of stuff that happens to us that we think will be permanent. Maybe it is a house fire, family issues, or a sickness we think will make a permanent impact on our lives. However, nothing truly is permanent and there is always a change we can make. We may not be able to change the circumstances fully around us, but we can change our mindset and how we handle the circumstances. By doing this we are making an impact on ourselves, family members, friends, and even strangers. So today, just remember nothing bad is going to be permanent, and you can always do something to make a change!

I reworked my white worm culture.

Wes sent me an absolute metric ton of white worms and I kind of messed them up when I tried splitting them and making a bigger culture. I harvested what I could of what I had left, which amounted to about enough worms to fill a 20 0z coke bottle cap and picked out as many cocoons as I could and placed them in a much smaller container. I placed this in a cool dark area loaded with food and they have exploded again. If anyone may need a free sample, I can probably send some in the coming weeks.

Here's my plate corals eating them up.

Very nice post and I am in agreement. Nothing is permanent.

However, the people at the Sanford Company (which is owned by Rubbermaid) might want to argue this point.

When I was going to OSU awe had high school friends over at Ohio University. Each year we would go there for the Spring Thing where they had had multiple bands play and one year we were there the Outlaws played.

Amanda is looking for some John.

The importance of punctuation.

"Amanda is looking for some John" has a COMPLETELY different meaning than, "Amanda is looking for some, John." Right @Calmwaters ? LOL!

Good morning to all you good looking Smorgerites!

Hope you make it a fantastic and memorable day. I know it will be so for me! (I may share the reason why at a later time.)
Although you left me out of your good morning, good morning Chris!
