Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Pain deadeners are a real mixed blessing. For a few years I was having a problem where my right forearm and hand would lose all feeling randomly for ten or twenty minutes at a time. There was just no sensation at all. I could still use them for non-intricate things as long as I was watching them and concentrated on the movement but I had no feedback. I ended up straining my right thumb over and over dozens of times because I would do something and have no idea how much pressure I was using.
I flip between pain killers and muscle relaxers depending on the severity. but I can't take together or I need the survival shot.
 
Good morning Joel! How's the tank doing?
It's fine Tom, thanks for asking.
Trying to do as little as possible to it but still keep an eye on it.
The less I mess with it, the better it is.

That seems to usually be the case, as long as there isn't any major pestilence that needs to be addressed.

People forget that pain is a protective mechanism to prevent further damage and injury. Let’s do an example, Bill has a L5-S-1 disc bulge and at lumbar flexion o f 30 degrees he is in so much pain he can’t bend any further. Bill’s friend Gregg gives Bill a fentanyl pill because Greg enjoys doing it socially. The medication reduces the pain, and now Bill can bend 45 degrees but what his body was trying to prevent him from doing due to compressive forces in the disc Bill just went from a disc bulge to a disc herniating with sequestration when he reached 40 degrees. Greg just got himself a client for life.
 
Good new kids...You don't have to eat your vegetables for the rest of the summer! Imagine the joy they got from that! I wonder how the pediatricians are handling this?
Hey, you are what you eat and cows eat vegetables so therefore every steak and hamburger I eat is just a fancy piece of grass.

so what you're saying is I should sue Gregg?

But you can still have all the shrooms you want cause they’re not an animal or a real vegetable. Yay!
Don’t worry they’ll come with a free EpiPen for those who need one…

Don't forget, some fruits as well.

How come those two cows are always telling me to eat more chicken?
 
Well earlier I crashed hard for almost 2 hours after eating breakfast (just Honey Nut Cheerios). Woke up hungry . Here’s what I made. Corned beef hash with 3 eggs and bacon and corn. Seasonings. Tobacco brand buffalo sauce, with a little Worcestershire sauce and a a few sprinkles of cooking soy sauce and minced garlic
