What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?

He's one of my favorites and was great under any of the 3 names.
John Cougar will always remind me of junior high, Jack and Diane, Hurts so Good.
Lots of great memories.
Couldn't name a favorite album at all.
Lonesome Jubilee is up there for sure.
Well sheesh Joel, I wasn’t looking for an argument, cool down. I’ll take back what I posted if it will turn the temperature down . I honestly didn’t think you of all people would fly off the handle like that. I’ll try to be more careful what I post. Still friends?
 
Heading back to NY, so far lots and lots of snow has been falling from the sky. It's really pretty!

And...my new Aquaforest 605 in the color white is officially ordered!!!!!!!
Congrats Walker, excited to see it already assembled
 
People don't believe I have a tank, but I do!

I did! But I believe in fairies, ufos, big foot, the Loc Ness monster, santa, easter bunny and the fact I’m going to upgrade my tank!
 
I had that album and that was before he was John Mellencamp Cougar and then just John Mellencamp. His best music was when he was John Cougar. Tell me I’m wrong John and Joel.
John if you agree with me, pm me and don’t post. I don’t want you to feel the wrath of Joel. If you don’t please don’t come at me like Joel did, I think I’m going to go to therapy.

Beautiful Tim, how does he behave with the other wrasses, because if he is calm maybe I can have him in the tank?!

She is quite calm. Very docile. In fact, she is more likely to get picked on by my other wrasses.

So I can stay on your thread? I’ve been on the edge of my seat waiting to hear from Rev!
 
Friends are friends forever!


In the 80’s I went to a few of his concerts and they were awesome my thumb would get hot from holding my lighter up. It’s not easy being green, speaking of green, the whole place smelled like skunk!

I also have one and she's one of my favorites!
 
At one point tonight I stopped counting at 30 deer in the field I was watching. I was going to shoot a doe but my husband told me to wait and see if a buck would come out. I have not shot a buck in a few years so he really wanted one for me.
