IT Program Director look like a busy job, but when you love what you do nothing is complicated, I bet being a nonna is the best job ever.

Yes, when the job matches your passion and skill set it is the best.

But the best job is Nonna for sure! No pressure, just spoil and love them. And sneak cookies…

Nope! Lots of trees and desert. I think I came home with more golf balls than I left with though... Found a lot of spares looking for my lost ones. :face-with-tears-of-joy: We shot a 71 on a par 72 course so not bad.

Wow - I caught up - at least on this thread!

Heading out soon for 4 of 10 radiation treatments. They finally caught up with me this weekend- my 4 ft ladder is literally right next to bed, with all the tools to do a bit of tank maintenance- just didn’t have energy. Ok, I did have a little and that was used holding and feeding my sweet lil granddaughter Gia. Held her and rocked her to sleep for an hour. No better medicine on this Earth.

Going to see both grandkids tonight and throughout the week (countdown to daughter moving), so i might not be on as much.

My daughter did a drive by this weekend and literally just dropped something off on porch and got back in car with kids.

Jake ((16 months) started to cry as she drove away! He recognized Nonna’s house and wanted to see me. There are no words to express my utter joy that he truly knows me. Insert heart emoji

Better use of energy in my opinion. Good choice!

HOW MUCH DOES A FISH’S FEEDING REQUIREMENTS AFFECT YOUR STOCKING DECISIONS?

  • A lot! - I avoid fish that require frequent or specialized feeding

    Votes: 16 32.7%

  • Quite a bit, but an automatic feeder can change my answer

    Votes: 6 12.2%

  • It depends on whether my nutrient export can handle it

    Votes: 7 14.3%

  • It depends on how badly I want the fish

    Votes: 11 22.4%

  • Not much. I’m willing to adjust my routine

    Votes: 9 18.4%

  • Not at all. Feeding demands don’t limit my stocking choices

    Votes: 8 16.3%

  • I usually learn about the demanding feeding schedule after buying the fish!

    Votes: 2 4.1%

  • I haven’t really considered this before

    Votes: 4 8.2%

  • Something else (see my comments in the thread)
