Good morning, all you sexy Smorgers...

Clearly, I've been absent from here and missed about the last 24 pages. You all have been busy.

I've had a lot going on and more than I care to type or have time for right now. I try to live life one day at a time but the last few ganged up and beat my tail! Today is a new day and will be a significant one for me. I shall share more tomorrow because I want to make sure part of this day goes as planned.

Hope you all are doing well and dealing with whatever comes your way with a smile!
Sending hugs and prayers that everything is ok!

Good morning and happy Tuesday!

Humanity is acquiring all the right technology for all the wrong reasons. R. Buckminster Fuller

Go back 20 years in time, what do you notice? iPhones were not a thing yet, MySpace was the social hangout for online, and if you asked people to make something with Ai they would call you crazy. Every year we see the rise in new technology, and new ways our society becomes more advanced, but at what cost? With the rise of social media we have noticed a decreased attention span across the board. Kids are sucked into iPads over using their hands to play with blocks. While technology has been great it is also can be negative to us if used wrong. Today, let's use technology for the right reasons vs wrong. Maybe put the phone down today and just enjoy your surroundings. Maybe you can use your phone to text someone an encouraging message or order someone some flowers today. Let's be good stewards of technology today!


Good morning Bailey!

Ah great.. it's what my LFS told me to use, I'll start using LRS then. Is it worse for nitrates?
I'd change LFS or ask us... who are quite knowledgeable by the way... and we can help.

Your LFS just wants your money, they see a young person in there and become vultures.

I think we would need to taper down or we're likely to have reef2reef withdrawals!

Good morning Bailey.
Yes is it, and it is destroying society. People are losing social skills, brainwashed by constant propaganda, etc... I could go on but my blood pressure would increase!
