Only 30 minutes after me but I guess you’re the winner . I couldn’t sleep last night maybe 4 am is when I collapsed . Must have been the Orlando Magic game . They were up 20 some points going into the half but but then they did not hit a buck for 10 minutes . So they lost 😠. They were up was 3 to 2 in the series and now they have to go to Detroit to try and get the win . If not there done for the season . Sorry I just had to get it out . lol!! 😠🤨😠🤯😡😡🥵🤯😳
Sorry for the loss, hockey can be rough CB!

Sounds like you've been busy! I sat my hatchery on a plant heating mat and put it next to my tank for light. It's been working great.

If I dont get those boys in the creek tomorrow after all this rain they will take me out and you guys will read about me in the paper!

Oh yeah we don't do news papers anymore. You'll read about me on Twitter!
No Twitter either though, right?
I set both mine on my mini fridge. Next to a window. They do fine without heat. But maybe slower than your using a heating pad.
Thank you! I was fine after the walk no increase in pain so maybe I'm finally getting a little better.
I hope so. My daughter has endured to much pain. Surgery on ankle. Then another to put in plate and screws. Then ankle replacement. Then surgery to fix bad replacement. Now another to do only what who knows! And one more already expected to remove bone growth over hardware! And she is a field wildlife biologist. Hopefully you both get well soon

Thanks for all the kind thoughts for my daughter. I wish this never happened to her. She was considering amputating the leg. Hopefully this newest doctor fixes her up
Praying for the best outcome and speedy recovery Shelley!

I filled up on Friday and it was $3.95 . I believe I heard this has reached the gas price of 4 years ago when Russia invaded Ukraine. It came down from that and it will again. Don’t run out and trade your car in on a solar one.
