I see how you are now. You laugh at my wish for good feelings today then turn around and give Amanda hugs for her typical "amazing day" post. I put some thought and energy into a my posts every morning and you laugh. Don't think you're fooling anyone, mister. I am onto your methods.

(No offense, Amanda but keep your eyes open for the sneaky ways of @Üter . Next thing you know, he'll be inviting you up for a "nice" ride in his boat.)
Don't worry Chris I will keep an eye out for his sneaky ways...

Goodnight everyone. I would say that I was sorry for all the messages you have to read in the morning, but that would mean I actually care. @That Crusso Kid that was for you.

And so is this



@tharbin


@Calmwaters Magnesium! IYKYK

@kevgib67 I haven't seen any oyster pics yet!

If you, or anyone in your party likes them, go in a restaurant and ask if they have Apalachicola oysters. Trust me.

@00W

Good morning John! Raw seafood is a no no for someone who is immunocompromised along with a long list of other things. I only cheat on what the temperature of my beef is, I can’t do over medium rare. Of come close to cheating on oysters over the years and even took a long hard look at them on the menu yesterday.

Both the same Kev, the larger is older and they change colors a bit as they age.
How are they today? I probably missed this but where did you get them from?

@kingranch2003 other than dendros my favorite LPS are scolymia. And I am looking for my next favorite one. Call me picky, but been looking for 2 years or so.
And just like that you became a member of another exclusive family, the scoly brothers and sisters! The force is strong in you young Jedi!

@code4 @Nor'easter Reefer Then there's Sweetlips! The only coral I've ever seen with a grown lady's mouth lol.

She's currently fighting for the top spot in the Reef2Reef POTM contest right now!

Try not to laugh.

Good morning, all.

I hope you the kind of day where you feel like you made the number 6 bucket on Bozo Buckets!
Good morning Chris... today is a the kind of day where I feel the need to deposit political promises in the porcelain bucket!

Thank you my friend! So far it's not hurting today and yesterday it didn't start hurting until after lunch so I think it's slowly improving!

@kevgib67 is everything in your tank doing ok still?
I think so, last I talked to my son he said all the corals look healthy and happy. The fish looked great and active this morning. I called him last night and it went to voicemail. I texted him this morning and haven’t heard back. Not hearing from him is a good thing!

You know you really need another cup of coffee when you go to make a second cup and make just a cup of hot water because you forget to put the coffee pod in the coffee maker....
