I even know you are not Amanda but Dawn. I start typing and thinking and mix them all up. I type over 100 words a minute when I need tp. So leads to trouble. 👿
Most people stop typing when they need tp unless they're texting their significant other to bring more...

They are cost effective for me since I usually pick up and dont have shipping fees. They only reason I didn’t this time is because the only day I can pick up is Friday and I have my semiannual appointment at the hospital in Cleveland and a Wedding later that day.
Yes shipping could make the difference .

Ran to the LFS to see if they had any plants for Kephins tank. I was going to get just one bunch of the two kinds of plants they had but the owners wife said would you like another one? I can start a buy one get one free special with you so I got two bunches. Lol she also gave me some Java Moss they have it growing in all their tanks. She's really nice to me everytime I go in and she's there, even remembers my name. 😆
That's because you personally finance their business my dear

I laughed out loud!! Thank you Tim!!
My wife just yells from the bathroom for me to grab TP for her. I tell her she should have looked before sitting down. That's when the fight starts....

Amanda what was the shrimp breeding container that you used that I was wanting but didn’t have enough shrimp to hatch . I think Kephin might need it to raise a abundant supple for his mandarin goby
