I corrected it, it’s been a looooong week and, I’ve never mentioned this but I’ve gone through life on a public education and Kermit thought it wasn’t easy being green, what a joke.
How was work today now that the boss is back? How are the new hires doing?

Although an extremely busy day, it went well. New staff, so far so good. He had a lot of interviews today but most didn’t show.what’s wrong with people?

That was one of the most frustrating parts of my job when I use to work in the staffing industry, but even worse was when they would go as far as taking the drug test, accepting the position, having a start day and then never showing up.
 
Hey @kingranch2003 , the Flathead Dendros are playing at our Cavelli Center the last weekend of June if you want to make a road trip. The GSP and the Invasives are opening for them. Let me know and I’ll get you tickets. Bring bail money.
Hahaha This made my very long day 🤣 😆
 
Great news about the fish and dendros Kevin. You're going to love that coral.. Adding juat a little red to your evening light schedule will really make that hit pink pop!
 
My brine shrimp hatchery came in. It's so simple to use, even I cant mess it up.

Great news also, the leopard wrasse ate fish eggs and TDO chromaboost pellets today. It's the first time ive seen him eat since I got him.
 
If I remember right it was 4 epidural steroid shots I had to do before insurance would agree to pay for the surgery. They also made me try physical therapy but it was making it worse so the therapist told them he couldn't help.
Yeah PT doesn’t help. They told me 2 years to heal with or without surgery. And even with surgery. It can still come back. I didn’t hear the 4 injections first but was told 3 months to approve the next injection. There was also only a certain amount allowed per year.
 
Sending hugs and hoping tomorrow isn't so long for you my friend.
Thanks for your always timely kind words Amanda. Here's to tomorrow and you having less pain too. ❤️

Uncorrect it sir! You were raised publicly and not privately! Be proud of who you are.

How many heads did yours have when you got it and how often did new heads grow?
