We need a pinky out emoji. Excellent choices.
All worth it then thank you Tom!

You inspired it a bit by posting Trondheim Symphony earlier. It got me in a Gershwin mood today.

@tharbin You showed up right on time for a slight change of pace. It's hard to find someone who took an instrument as classic as the clarinet, and played it in a way that no one else ever had.

Bid!!!!!!
Oh I'm not bidding in just teasing/tempting Coral. That being said if I where in the market for another I would totally get that one because its so beautiful!
🤩
Here's my girl. Loves riding with me
Another dumb Kevin question. I assumed food would find its way from the display to the refugium, is that enough for the stone crab or should I be feeding the refugium? I didn’t sump the little monster just to starve it to death.
Lol, such a lucky little monster!

That sucks. I get like that. Always bad. Hope you push through.
I usually just grab every snack I can find and put them in a heap next to me. Then I methodically work my way through them until I'm ready to toss. usually works. I used to grab a hot fudge sundae or banana split but my doc says to lay off the sugars.
Sugars are the devil. 😈 I love them so much. It's all or nothing with me
I ate a bag of popcorn and that helped some.
Nice!
