Alright ladies and gents. I can walk today, very little pain but still an occasional small spasms. Haven't taken any meds since 7am yesterday so I'm definitely on the mend. Headed to the doc here in about 15 minutes.
Hey Tim . I guess you’re ready to pick up the 5 gallon bucket of water for your tank . One in each arm .

Great news Tim, I’m happy to hear it! Now don’t do anything stupid like move your weight set from the basement to your Attic.

Some old dude just came in yelling at the ladies here because he got a message to review his prescriptions and he wanted to know why. Well, it's because he got his prescriptions renewed yesterday and he got a message letting him know they were renewed and sent to his pharmacy.

Old dudes, pffft, can't do anything with them, good thing I'm still in extended puberty.

Some old people can be so mean sometimes, but then others can be super sweet. Just like young people I guess. Lol

Now hold your darn horses, Tim’s not on meds anymore? 1 hug and 4 laughing emojis. That’s more in one day I’ve gotten from him since I joined R2R in 2022! That dude is on some high doses of OxyContin for sure, no wonder his pain levels have diminished so much!

Good morning Nerds! Off work today, gotta get my horribly disfigured face even more horribly disfigured. The young man who was going to take my Biocube changed his mind. I put it on Market Place a few days ago for $175, I can’t believe the response I have received. I have to text a young lady from Lodi to come get it after my procedure.
Good afternoon Kevin. You might have expected my response

I knew that . I was being funny . I think the coral would be the beneficiary at this size which is what I wanted to do with it . Years ago I use them for feeding baby discus . I had a cut off aplastic soda bottle with an air stone in it . I didn’t want to mess with that again . But this will be the first time giving then to my coral .
You're exactly right about the corals loving them. Dust the dendros with em, sit back and watch the fun begin. My fish love them too, but it's great watching the scolys, plates, acans, zoas, and dendros swallow them up

Just got the second round of tissue removal, hoping he comes back and states he got it all and stitches me up. I think I’m going to hit my lfs after.

Dang buddy, that doesn't seem fun. Way to stay positive! Hopefully you come home with a cool new tank addition.
