They don't make music like his anymore!
You sure said it. He performed in my hometown harbor when I was about 10. We had our business right down the sidewalk from the outdoor venue where Percy was playing. I couldn't see him, but I could hear that iconic voice.

How risky are arrow crabs in a reef tank? They have one at my LFS and I think they are so neat looking.
I think they're awesome looking critters. Vintagereefer has one he says is a model citizen. He's pretty selective about his tank inhabitants too.
 
I have plenty of bristle worms lol
That's why most people get them as cuc members Amanda. They'll probably less prone to eating fish if they have bristle worms everywhere

One year he was at the Harrahs Cherokee Casino and me and my little sister went in together and got my daddy and momma tickets to go he was one of my dad's favorite singers. I get my love of all kinds of music from him. My mom liked music but my dad loved music. He always had it on in the car or his work shop or in the house if they weren't watching tv.

Does it really get any better than this?
I want to thank Wes and the whole family for taking the time for lunch with me at the Cafe.
I cannot tell you all how lucky I am to have met and hung out with this world class family
Made my whole summer.
This is really what it's all about.
Aaaaww shucks
 
hows the baby doing amanda?
She's not doing any better and they still don't know what's wrong. Her IV moved or something and now where it was is swollen and red. They have her on pain medicine. I just messaged her momma to see if there have been any updates since this morning.
