Patience
Spoke with PaulB and what he was able to get rid of was a nice blue sponge trying to curb its over growth . Like I was doing was to remove a rock from time to time and scrubbing it . His was quite beautiful . wish that was what I have . I will look at chemi clean and see if that might work .

have you been to the Vortex? I used to like that place. Great burgers. Also liked some place on Moreland. I just remember it was a big red building.
Never heard of it before! Honestly I lived around Atlanta, but it was pretty rare we would actually go to the city. Only restaurant we would go to consistently there was varsity
 
He's getting better. He's working his way out of the financial hole he was in. He said he's feeling better mentally as well.


He was around. He went through a lot last year. Lost his apartment, his cat, his reef tank, and then his wife in a short time.
My God, could you even imagine?
If he ever wants a good dose of camaraderie and fellowship, I know a thread with some good people that would certainly have his back.
 
Hope everyone has an amazing day today! Pretty chill day for me for once, so I am thankful for that!

My goal is to always send different bands and artists people haven't heard of! I am very involved in the underground metal and rock scene. So I keep up to date with most of the metal and rock releases each week. Not to mention I generally don't listen to the "popular bands" but more so the smaller guys, or older stuff.
