To quote my friend Kevin. Oh hey Tom! What are you thinking on the music end tonight? I had to lay down a couple for Tim. I listened to these songs when I was a young dude.
There are some groups or genres that just draw me in for hours and hours. Late 60s/early 70s rock, 60 British Blues, Jazz, garage, etc.

Since Chris just hit us with some top drawer jazz, that's pretty much it for me tonight unless some Mayall or Cream cross the plate.

Please pay attention to minding your own business :)
Well, you see, it's like this; how about you shut your face.

Brine shrimp. Food. Coral B day drinks. There, you're all caught up.
Normally, I would thank you. However, perhaps you should be paying mind to a big cup of shut your face.

Keep it classy. Although, I am only 20 minutes into the Getz and Evans album I posted above. So, I'll have about another 40 minutes of bliss until having to listen to something you'll post that will make me want to shove an icepick in my ear 50 to 60 times.

Why wait? Grab an icepick!

Why are you so ineffective? It shouldnt take more than once or twice.

Ha ha, you are both smarter than me and a much better typer. At my best I only typed about 40 words a minute, 👍 and I will have to go back to yesterday when you told me your name to know who you are! 😃
Dawn it's Shelley. I took typing in high school for 2 years. And shorthand also. Those things were not forgiving if you made a mistake. So you got really good.

My coworkers often would comment on how I could look at something and type without ever looking at the keyboard. I think they were secretly just being nice so I would do all the paperwork. 😂

Well I am so happy I was able to get everyone laughing over TP today. 😂
She said she types over 100 wpm when she needs TP...
You are fixated on TP. Remember the covid shortage? No wonder my fingers still type it. I had to search online for it.
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....
😂 We have learned to store ours in the bathroom cabinet in reach of a seated person!
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
All my mandarins learned to eat anything I fed them. I don't feed flakes. And rarely pellets. I still hatch brine shrimp for him. But don't need to. I never tried to get them to eat frozen food. It just happened after months.
Sorry I missed your good morning John. My mornings are always busy... well, it's busy until I leave for the day...
No worries. Mine get busy too.

Lost my sister 13 years ago to it, horrible disease. Lost my mom 10 years ago to the same thing.
On a lighter note.
What do you do on June 3rd in California?
You make plum jam from your tree in the backyard.
Plums flower in January.
This is round 2 of 4lbs.

My grandmother made jelly from her plum tree. Wonderful memories. I think I need another tree. 🌳 Those plums look delicious!

Sorry for your losses. It is a terrible disease.

Yes but they didn't select, and arrange themselves 😉
This is so true.
Thanks Kevin. Im going to grab a bag of it then. Have you seen the Cynarina after the light goes off yet? The coolest thing I've seen in my tank to this, day were my Cynarinas in feed mode after I flipped the light back on.

Wow, I need several now. Beautiful
Oh yeah! The skeleton has a nice shape too. It's much happier tonight!
Gorgeous.

Don't forget the TP!
