Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
I I forgot to mention Tom, I’m out of the psych ward and off suicide watch. Like a big boy I can use real utensils!
Full recovery, or they just got tired of dealing with you?

Actually, just between you and me, there’s some poor psyc aid locked in my room with a goose egg on his head wearing my straight jacket and Hannibal type mask while I’m walking on other floors wearing his white jacket finding rooms with sleeping patients and on open food on their counters.

Way to go Bud.
 
By the way Kev. I happen to really like Brussel Sprouts, especially roasted in garlic. Those BSSO (Brussel Sprout-Shaped Objects) that they served you initially could have easily caused a mental health incident for me as well.

It is kind of weird but it seems there must be a lot of dress makers that also manufacture plastic spoons because I see a lot of those so called sporks. I think that trying to pawn off the spoons that they accidently chop the end off with their pinking shears as a legitimate utensil is an affront to humanity.
 
Hey, I forgot to tell everyone but after our "robbing" Home Depot discussion yesterday I decided to go try it out.

Sure enough, I went into Home Depot and when I walked out without paying anything no one stopped me or even gave me a second look!

Walmart was right next door so I decided to give it a shot there as well. Same result! I walked out without paying anything and no one tried to stop me or even asked for a receipt! They even told me to "Have a nice day"!





















For the record, they didn't care mainly because I didn't put anything in my pockets or shopping cart so I didn't have anything to pay for.
 
good morning! i see i still didnt make the personal doodle club again. maybe another time. sigh. and steve, you shouldve drawn tim with his arms full of stuff hes won!
glad youre still doing better kevin!
wheres mr. rock?
Hey Jill ! I think I finally made the personal doodle club for the first time .

It’s ideas like that Tom that make millionaires Tom!
 
Nope he has a white Yugo but he keeps it mothballed for special occasions.
A nurse I worked with had one of those things. She was small and barely fit. I couldn’t believe my bicycle actually fit ,even broken down when she gave me a ride home one day. I can’t believe I fit. Those were so tiny.

You’re still in the planning . I just ran out of time last night. And I know how much he’s won. It wouldn’t fit on the page if I tried to put everything there . The man is a frigging prize magnet.

Says the guy that won more than me 2 years ago. Maybe 3?

Uh huh. I barely equaled for maybe a brief period in time and space. A brief anomaly in the history of mice and men never to be repeated. Though I won’t deny I enjoyed getting the goodies 😉
 
It looked like I was going home today and then it didn’t due to lab work and a decrease in kidney function and then my nephrologist’s NP just came in and said they latest results shows it improved and she is going to talk to him to get me released in the meantime I texted my son and he said they latest results acan isn’t looking good. Deflated and skeleton sticking out. He sent a picture but the glass is to dirty. I have restored, iodine and cipro on hand . Any suggestions. @Rocks reef ?

Maybe I should just wait and assess when I get home instead of walk him through something he hasn’t done based me not even verifying with my own eyes.
