Went a little light on seasoning. It’s for parents. Drive down to CT this morning. It’s so GD hot. 🥵
What part of CT? My family is in Westport and Southport. In the 70s I lived in Bethel just outside of Danbury.
 
Thats weird. The word hit brought up a red sweating emoji. After I clicked post, it changed it to a red pig with blue ears?
Now that you mention it, it does look like a red pig with blue ears lol, I think it was for GD hot
 
I think I wrote before understanding that you mean the interesting thing is that it is splitting, my bad
Not at all brother. Im constantly learning from you, mostly by example too!
 
Without breaking it, yes. It's just a little soft plastic grommet. My Father-in-law ordered one that he's going to pick up this evening. I'll drop it in after dark tonight or early tomorrow morning.
Yeah thats what I was thinking. And most likely it would break AFTER you spent a while in the heat trying to get it off.

Fairfield county. I know you have dementia but we’ve been through this before 😊🤗
You were a Lauper neighbor or was it Newman?
 
Interesting... CenturyLink is having a DNS issue affecting 35,000+ people currently. My house appears to be one of the people.

Also, their website is down so I'm guessing it's probably more nationwide than they're letting on.

I heard somewhere that there was a bigger leak today of some passwords stored somewhere, I haven't changed mine so when the hackers gets into my accounts and sees them maybe he'll take pity on me and put something on them instead of taking something away lol
 
Has anyone ever experienced a tailspot nipping at corals? My big scoly has looked kind of withdrawn lately. Today it had skeleton poking through. I just walked by the tank, and my tsb was picking at it like a tang on a nori sheet. Ive never witnessed him do this before. I haven't fed the coral in a while, so he wasnt stealing food. Not sure why I just saw what I did.
