I have never liked them because of certain assets I have. I do enjoy lots of other exercises and look forward to my back being better hopefully by the time the new gym here opens that I prejoined. One of the most annoying things about this back issue is I was doing really good exercising and losing weight and now I have gained back what I had lost.
lol...bingo thats way I like jumpng jacks...assets lol

Well that's a couple of blasts of gorgeousness! Your Asiatic is amazing. My wife loves lillies, roses, and bagonias! I need to get her one of those the tree varieties like you have.

Good to see you today, friend
She needs a clematis or two. One that only grows to 6 feet. You could make her a trellis. Here are a few of mine. So many different types

I love seeing pictures of stuff people enjoy besides their aquariums!
So do I. I added a few other photos of a few of my clematis
No I agree. It almost needs that backdrop. I've never seen that variety before. It''s really eye catching
It was doing poorly in one of my large beds so I moved it there. First year it was about 2 feet with no flowers. Every year for the next 5 it grew more until it reached 6 feet tall. The blooms are larger than my hands. They are extremely fragrant.

I have never been to a chiropractor, you could probably shatter some windows if i came to see ya
Dame here
My sixline Wrasse is supposed to be here tomorrow. After more thought I have decided he will be my last fish. My friend that works at the LFS said she ordered two and I can pick which one I want. I hope it's hungry and that bristle worms are it's favorite meal.
Mine has been great.
Were you able to catch the sale?
I was, thanks for the heads up

just checked. we have a little over 2" now. Today was great, 66 and sunny. opened the garage doors and did a little work. will do some tomorrow too but shows 50 degrees.
yesterday at Softball drop off I saw a PoPo sitting in the sandbox playing with a little kid. was like WOW. But then realized I think they may have been on extra alert do to threats at ball fields. I can't believe how bad things get sometimes.
Things are really bad for sure. The popo 👮‍♀️ playing with a child in the sandbox. Is more normal than you think. At least here in Wyoming. We try to do PR all the time. We do shop with a cop at Christmas every year. We hand out candy on Halloween. I held a crying baby so her mom could fill out paperwork. The media should show our good side more

We got smashed Thursday. There were 3 confirmed tornadoes in my city that morning. I drove to work in the storm at apparently the same exact speed lol.

I was just put it in 4 wheel drive and started listening to some Hawkwind 😎


Where are you?
The goal is to get ny masters this summer, then momma can stay home. Maybe. Im pretty sure our church has a home schooling uhm.. support group? Collective? Idk. Bunch of home school parents that support each other and do field trip type things together etc. So, clocks starts now, i got a 2.5 year old growing quick. He can already count to 12, knows all the colors, knows like 8 different dinosaurs by name, and can tell you most every animal name and make their call, and knows what most every fish at petco is called 🤣
Congratulations. 🍾🎉🎊🎈 You got this.
My son loved this when he was about 4.

Good evening GD4u, yep Amanda nailed it, the sponges but they eventually go away. Second one stumps me @ISpeakForTheSeas ?
the second one isn't the best pic. i think its a bubble tip anemone , or a torch . Its longer then it looks the base of it is maybe a half inch to 3/4 down i think .
I haven't read through the 27 pages since I was tagged, and I can't say for sure from the pic, but my first thought is the same as yours: either a nem of some kind (like a Majano anemone - Anemonia manjano - or torch coral.

If the tips are like proper whitish spheres/half-spheres, I would say likely a torch; if the tips are just like whitish in color but not with the distinctive, spherical shape, then I would say likely a nem.

I’m just happy they call me Paul now and not Mom anymore. 😂
My 4 year old calls me mom all the time. I tell him, "Cmon man, you look like me without a beard!"







And a job...
