Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Only outside the US! But makes more sense.
Especially since in American football you don't use your feet except on very rare occasions.
 
Going to call the doctor today since I'm not feeling better yet.
Take care of yourself Amanda, still praying today is the day you turn the corner!
 
Working at a doctor office has its perks. I called and one if the doctors was shocked that the ER doctor only put me on Amoxicillin she said this is normally treated with two different antibiotics at a time. She's going to send the new prescriptions in to my pharmacy and told me to stay home until Monday to give the medicine a chance to do its job.
 
Good morning everyone, Jennifer and Amanda, I hope you are feeling better.

Feeling great- guess what they have on breakfast menu?!

Going to move me to PT facility by Monday - hopefully down in SoCal (Santa Barbara vs SF) but either way good news.

I’m not caught up on our pages, decided to just look 1 page back to try and keep up.

Mostly Kev Dad jokes; Luis caring for us all; Joel keeping us a good group of sous chefs on the line; Tim, keeping us educated and wishing our daughters cooked daily food surprises for us; Frank inspiring us to Keep Reefing; Walker, making us snort-laugh with his sneaky humor all throughout R2R, and letting us share in grief, but also be in joy as his fur family evolves; Ocean, creating systems that inspire us, and making some damnnn good coffee; Remi, expanding his barnacle condos to the US when he travels; Amanda buying fish/corals galore with excitement about each one; Katrina, doing the hard work and getting a ******* car worthy of her; JoJo, with cool DT videos, LOL comments daily, sharing fur family passing and allowing us to hug him; the Cronies (cafe too many to call out) group, who stop by the Smorg like the bar from Cheers Show, “where everybody knows your name”; (If I missed you, very sorry - I’m on a wee bit pain meds)

And for the rest of the summer - Parker living his best 16 yr old life so we can ALL live those memories back in the day!
