I found my Long tentacled anemone, George, in bad shape this morning. Looks like his foot was shredded on one side. I have had him for about 20 years. I was shocked at first. No idea how it could have happened. Guards on pumps. He rarely moves. But he had moved 2 days ago to the back of the tank. Only thing there is a new heater. What are the odds he was on it and was burnt. I moved the heater higher.

George is still inflating on the undamaged side. And partially attached to a rock now. I turned down the flow some.

Here he is 15 years ago. Fingers crossed.

Does anyone remember the dinner with the cacao pudding? Not sure of the spelling. It was like a vanilla pudding with coconut. Came in a Mexican dinner. Bought it just for that pudding. Yum
I think it was Enchiladas.

I don't recall enchilada TV dinners. Probably because I was the youngest of four and got the ones no one else wanted. I do remember the ones with a brownie that would bubble when it was being heated. The edges of the brownie were like molten lava when tearing the plastic off of it.

You were robbed. My little sister always got to pick first. She was the spoiled one. I wonder if they still taste the same.

Well, we could always ask @MegabiteOG or any number of other members will give their input.
