What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
I hope everyone had a wonderful Mother's Day. Today has been a difficult day for me, and as expected, all of you have made it a better day. Thank you all
Sorry today was difficult for you. I know how you feel, Father’s Day is always rough for me. My dad was always the one I went to when there was a fork in the road and I needed advice and his advice was always solid. It’s been a few years but whenever I come to a fork in the road my first instinct is to call him.
 
@00W , how was your day?

I don’t think we will be hearing from Joel tonight, he had a killer day. Busiest day ever. I’m sure tomorrow he’ll be back on blabbing so much we will all be sick of it as usual! :winking-face:

My grandmother raised me since I was 2 years old and last year wasn't so difficult in the sense of the date, because what happened had happened only a couple of weeks before mother's day but today has been terrible, I even spoke with my wife because I think I couldn't do enough for her today, but she, being the best, already knew what was happening to me and you all have also made this day way much better. Thank you again guys and gals

I feel like we should all show up one day just to help the guy out!. even if it's just washing dishes! I'm guessing it would be a 14 hour drive for me though.

I have no idea what this one is. neither did the doctor. just keep them hydrated!
I've heard of a virus going around that causes vomiting or diarrhea, or both, in children. Is that the case? It's nothing serious from what I've heard, but it can cause dehydration.
 
So sorry Paul I hope they are well soon!
some of it got in the fish tank too! :grimacing-face:
that was why I did the water change earlier.
tomorrow, while the kids are home from school, I will make more RO.

Sorry again Luis, it sucks big time. Hang in there, you have a wonderful wife!

That's been my theory for a while now, if alcohol disinfects on the outside why can't it do it on the inside? ;)

I could stop by and have Kev cook me some lunch, walk his dog and get a birds nest frag along the way! But he probably won't open the door unless I bring a cotton candy lobster!

Paul, you would be welcome if your hands were empty! I’ll keep the lights on for you!
 
Omg ( that’s on my goat for you older reefers) my daughter’s wedding is next week! I can’t wrap my head around that.
