Oh, he’s lovely Amanda, I don’t think I’ve seen one before. Thank you!

Jennifer always said she wanted one and that's why I went with one and I'm so very glad I did. He and the Foxface seem to be besties and are almost always swimming together.

I miss Jennifer. 😢
 
Me to my friend she was a wonderful person. I think of her often as I look at my tank.
It seems like yesterday when I FaceTimed her 3 days before she died, she’s been an inspiration to me!
 
Has anyone heard anything from @Remi? He's still in Dubai, right? Hope he's staying safe out there.
Howdy Walker, he liked my good morning post about a week ago. Last time he was on here he was struggling with his tank. I hope he comes back.

Yikes. I really hope he's doing okay and staying safe. It's really scary out there right now.
 

They are such a mixed band for me. Either I like their stuff or absolutely dislike it. One-X and life starts now are really good, few songs off their first LP are decent but the rest of their discography just isn’t good to me.

That was their earlier stuff for me too. You hear their new album though? banger after banger.




This one, my wife says, is my son's theme song. I call him machine, depending on what he is doing, its 'dude machine', or 'chaos machine', or 'mess machine' occasionally... 'bro machine'.
(for those that don't care for a listen, the chorus: I am machine i never sleep I keep my eyes wide open...)
