Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
I seem to recall one as well. No idea where though as we used to be all over the valley almost daily.
I think it was the one at 35th and Thunderbird or 59th and Bell.
 
AFAIK, no, it isn't. What I read online is that it was built when HWY 41 was being built. KFC wanted a way for their business to stand out so they built it right next to the highway
Pretty unique sign then. I can say that I've never seen a moving KFC sign before
 
I was a very blonde kid (even though I'm dark brown now), and Alycia still is blonde. He gets comments almost daily in public talking about his hair
I bet he does! Such a cutie! You both did well!
 
Good Afternoon Rock!

It's usually okay until we had a block party and the DJ put this on, on loop. We had quite a time getting all the fish back in the tank.


I can imagine. Poor fish thought there was a lightning storm and tried taking shelter
 
I didn't want to respond beyond a good morning until I was caught up since I frequently post comments to events long since altered and just look like I went to public school (I did but I rarely admit it). It sounds to me like your doctors are forming a plan for you. Hopefully it skips a couple intermediate steps and gets right to fixing you up. You are in our prayers.
Good morning Tom. I do that too. I'll post a reply and it has already been answered 42 times.

Thank you Tom, you really need to embrace the fact that you are a product of the public school system., it really has its advantages. For all the idiotic things that I say and do people let me off the hook and instead of blaming me they blame my parents for not caring about my education or the public school system itself. So they came up with a new plan. No port, because I’m responsive to Iv fluids. So University Hospital contacted me to get the ball rolling for transplant. I have two calls to return to schedule appointments for weekly fluid iv’s at the infusion center and the vascular surgeon’s office called to schedule an appointment for vein mapping so I can get a fistula placed in my arm for dialysis. It takes 3-6 months after the fistula is placed before it can be used for dialysis.
 
We had a Long John Silvers/Taco Bell combo here so that you could remix your own fish tacos but it closed. We liked to call it Taco John's.

We had the same, then they closed and then they built a brand new Taco Bell in its place. Shortly after they built a brand new Long John Silvers across the street. Domestic squabble. I do love Long John Silvers fish and chips though.

Those both make sense as they were right in my main stomping grounds.

Excellent, well as excellent as these things can be. One less intrusive procedure on your way to a real solution.

As for public school, I liked it, no real structure. Math teachers trying to teach physics, shop teachers teaching gym, great times. We did care though my father started a petition and got the Superintendant of Schools thrown out and another to have my 5th Grade teacher removed. I wasn't the easiest-going student.
 
Good afternoon. Been a little sick the last 24 hours. Going to try to catch up. I hope everyone is having a good day. Especially you @kevgib67
 
I like both of them but prefered Cane's. I can't really eat any of them now though. It seems fried foods bother me a little more each year since going gall-bladder-less.
It’s funny because I really don’t care for Cane’s. We were out of town at a travel softball tournament and the girls got really excited because there was a Cane’s, I had never heard about it but I kinda got excited. I was disappointed, maybe it was the crinkle fries. In all of my public education that is what that’s what they served in the cafeteria and they baked them long enough to warm the outside and left the inside cold and mushy. I heard private schools served hand cut fair fries deep fried until they were crispy golden brown salted and served with malt vinegar and ketchup.

They actually built a new Long John's? Worst fish I ever had anywhere. Rather eat a raw monkfish than that garbage. Arthur Treacher's was pretty good for fast food fish but I haven't seen one of those in decades.

We do have another Taco Bell in town but most here go to real Mexican joints for tacos.

Good afternoon John, sorry to hear, I hope you’re feeling better soon!

Ya our last Arthur Tteacher’s shut down about 25 years ago.
 
I was impressed as well. The torches were mostly fully open within a few hours. Leptosteris looked like a puffy quilt and the Stylo was opening nicely though for some reason it seemed take the longest to fully open
I really liked the lepto. It seemed to have some yellow in it as well as the green. Super unique
