What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
I’m crying reading this. Like I’m reading something from my son. Just want to give you a big mom hug.
I felt the same way but I didn't have the words!!!
 
I’m very confused by this pic
This is what it would normally look like. In the picture one eye is coming out of a hole in the shell.

Interesting question! Let's see if Google can help us
What is this google you kids speak of? Is it like Tic Tac, Instagerm, Facebrook or that other one that got changed by Elon to Y?
 
@kevgib67 I couldn't find anything even though I searched quickly, but what I could read is that it could be due to age, many people in other forums saying 2 or 3 years maximum, calmer at night I can search more on the subject, but no I see that there is a lot of information, Sorry, I don't have any other sources to rely on other than Google lol, the only thing I use is Instagram and if you can already see I won't even post any photos lol

Thanks Luis, ya I’ve had it over 2 years and I don’t know how old it was when I for it. I randomly assigned it’s birthday to January 31, we celebrate it together with algae wafer cake and nori. No candles though, they won’t stay lit as soon as they hit the water but I tell him to make a wish anyway and I blow out the candle for him.

Yes Sunshine you got it!
 
Sorry, heavy med day - dozing in between sentences.

Are the eyes moving around?
Just coming out where it shouldn’t be.

The problem is that something opened a hole at the top and Kev thought he was dead but now he is sticking his eye out through that hole and not ahead, which is where he normally goes.

Ok. Got it. So he survived the mystery predator and is just looking out at all angles to see if it’s to come out.

Kev, did you narrow down who is making those holes in your CUC shells?

He shoulda called it Twix
 
Taco Sunday! Well played Luis, well played!
I had a taco for lunch. Just one vs. my normal three. And they are small. Going to have homemade curry soup and veggie salad for dinner. Trying to loose some of this steroid weight before I get to UCSF on Wednesday.

All my oncologists are women and they rock! They aren’t going to recognize Varuka Salt when I roll into their offices - lol.`
 
I just had a quesadilla and some watermelon. Plus chips and salsa.
