What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?

Good morning and good god, y'all!

Looking forward to seeing your morning post this morning, @Gumbies R Us!
 
That’s how I feel about trying to buy ram right now, haha. It’s jumped in price a good $150+ in the past month
I read your post and thought, "Why would the price of a truck going up $150 bother him so much. On top of the typical reduction of $10,000, anyone could negotiate that away with no effort. Then it hit me... 😉

Good morning everyone, did anyone else experience this yesterday or was it just my phone?

This is a nightly occurrence. If you were on between the hours of 2:58 to 3:03 EST then, yes, you would more than likely have seen that message. Otherwise, it was probably your magnetic personality interfering with the internet connection.
 
Quick question for all you that are in-the-know: how do I get one of those shiny, new "I Voted" badges? I mean, I went and voted in every available topic there is to vote. I even voted three and four times in many of them because, after all, I am from Chicago.
 
Happy Thursday everyone!

No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it's not the same river and he's not the same man. Heraclitus


Let's take some situations that we might deal with. The death of a loved one, starting a new job, or a first date. All of these situations people might experience more than once in their lives. However, even though they may be the same "situation," we won't experience them the same way. The death of a loved one. While the act of someone you loved dying is the same, the grief and how you handle the situation will be different than a previous death. As we go through life, we will run across familiar situations and familiar issues. How we handle them is up to us. Are we going to handle the situation better than the last time, or are we going to handle it worse. Let's all go into today, tackling issues with positivity and making sure we are putting our best foot forward in all that we do!

Here is a fun one for all of you today! This is Dust. A band that only released two albums in the 70's, and disbanded fairly quickly. Their bassist, Kenny Aaronson (might have heard of him), after the band ended, went on to be the bass player for many other singers and bands ( Joan Jett, Bob Dylan, Billy Squier, Mountain, Yardbirds, and many more)

 
Morning y'all!
It's sooooo wacky today...
My goodness 😳

Joel, your tank is looking great! Those nudibranchs really took care of things for you!
 
Sorry amigo! Got on, checked in for like 20 seconds, got pulled into a meeting, then got dragged out to the field to discuss current situations and fears of the future when I leave in a couple of weeks. Checking back in now but only for a bit before I'm off and out and about again unfortunately.
Brother, no need to apologize. I completely understand being busy. I knew you'd reach out.
 
That's why I just hand them to her
My wife put up the tree and decorated the whole house the Monday after Halloween while I was at work. She doesn’t want me involved I guess.
 
Good morning everyone, did anyone else experience this yesterday or was it just my phone?

Good morning Amigo. Yes, though they (R2R) are upgrading servers so hopefully this issue will be taken care of.
 
I was amazed when I went to a food lion near me and eggs were $2.19 for a dozen
Good morning Bailey. I get my eggs from a farmer that lives on my drive home from work. $3 a dozen but they are the good eggs!
