Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
My biggest problem is I'll sometimes hold people, mostly those closest to me, to the same standard as I hold myself. Which is often times unrealistic, and when they under perform, which is honestly perfectly understandable because they don't even know the unrealistic expectations exist, i get frustrated. I've gotten a lot better though.
I promise that I’ll always under perform you!

Lol does it drive me nuts or is it a thoughtful gesture... the world may never know!
 
My bad habit is acting like I'm ok when inside I'm a mess. I think it's because I know everyone has enough of their own stuff they are going through.
I've always told all of you we are a family, always here for each other.
Never be afraid to say whatever it is, that's what we're here for.
You're like a sister to me, and,whatever it is, say it, we're here, we're praying for you!
 
Come on, why can’t you just be nice?
Good night dearest kevin. I hope your dreams are filled with daffodils and caramel waterfalls.

Better? Nerd
 
It's very true. I struggled when my brother was in the hospital last summer. My Dad was a wreck, my whole family was spiraling and I felt like it was my job to be "the man" and burry it down and get everyone through it. Luckily my wife was there at 3am and caught me spiraling. We aren't meant to live our lives alone.
I'm the same.
Burry everything.
My dad was like a stone.
Never said a word.
Completely unemotional.
That's my role model of being a man.
Not until all you guys did I ever open up and I thank all of you for that.
 
I’m a fibber correct, I don’t even have a tank. But I even texted Joel to have him let you know I was having trouble and to let you know but he was having trouble also.
Yes Kev is correct I've been having multiple issues with the site all day.
No notifications, can't reply, etc.
I did hop on my can phone though.... ;)

I'm the same, expect the same.
Lotta letdowns in my life because I think this way.
I'm trying to improve, expect less.
 
i keep jumping thinking you all changed your avatars!! and here its just in the middle of a spin!
When I first saw it I thought I had motion sickness lol, I had to close and open the app several times lol
 
December 29, is 35 years of marriage for me ( Tim’s wedding anniversary as well). We started dating the end of my senior year and her junior year. 40 years together.
That is as good as it gets brother. Your love is renewing itself still today with your daughter's marriage.
