Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
You think I would go to bed without saying good night to my favorite nerds? Not a chance, good night nerds!
Night!
I'm sure there are many people out there that would say that you helped them. Some you may know, and some you may never know the impact you had on their lives.
I think this is true for many of us. Thanks
No, but being able to keep a goni alive makes you weird. That's some alien stuff right there!
Hmmm, I just stuck it in my tank. Are you yanking my chain? Seemed pretty easy. Powerhead-check. HOB filter-check. HOB protein skimmer-check. LED lights-check. Nope nothing special. 40 breeder with my crocea clam I have had for at least 2 years.

Enjoy your music festivities. I have tank maintenance tomorrow. Must get some sleep.

Night all
 

My wife and I saw them in New Orleans with Snoop Dogg (lol) when we were 18. I had to pay the beer guys not to ID me every time I bought a beer. We had way too many drinks at that age, but I took the best care of her. That's the first (not last) time I ever ended up going into a women's restroom.

I guess that's why she married me 25 years later. 🤷‍♂️ It's not for my speed as referenced earlier.

Well you must be a keeper (as well as she) if it took 25 years and she was willing to wait…

Not yanking your chain at all unfortunately! It's kind of a smorgasbord joke. If you give me a meat ciral, Ill get it through college. However, I think I have 8 or 10 dead gonis under my belt.

I admit that I was new reefer chasing color back then. Things may be different now.

It's a crazy story brother. We met in Sunday school at 13 and were just best friends. Then she went to college and I stayed around and goofed off. I dont have FB so we lost touch. 12 years later I took a girl on a date and she asked me if I could find her a server. I found this cute little blonde standing in the corner. I tapped her on the shoulder and when she turned around, it was her....

We got married about a year later 😆
She was always meant for me. Im grateful I got that second chance.

Well I know my limitations, mostly . I tend to stay away from Acros due to an historic inability to keep them alive for the most part. As far as other sps, montis and other less demanding ones I’ve had much better results

Same here. I hate beating my head against the wall and killing things.

Well my story is a little different but still worth a quick tell I guess. Back in ‘87 I took vacay time with my folks in Vermont. Took my mountain bike to do some riding around, mainly fire trails and and unpaved roads as I was using semi slick tires. I had been riding lots of miles that summer, so I decided to ride back home as I had only one week vs the 2 my folks were taking. Dropped me off in Brattleboro in the morning. By mid late afternoon I was in Lexington Mass. and funny thing is I went less than 100 yds past where my future wife was living. Found this out when I went to her place for the first time next year.

Every love story is worth telling. It's like there was a magnetism. You cant explain it.

I don’t know if you were in my circle, even peripherally last year here on R2R but my wife passed away from cancer last year on July 20. It’s been pretty messy life wise for a few years now . Sometimes I feel she’s with me and I start to speak to her in my head and then go oh, I can’t . Plus my medical issues the last few years as well.
The last group I hung with here changed a lot , became kind of toxic due to a few prominent members of the group . Very glad I hopped on board here. Very supportive fun loving group. It’s the reason I recruited Bobby. He came from the same group as well.
Anyways I could go on, but I just want to say this somewhat goofy bunch make me feel like I’m home here.

Yes you can! Don't stop. You're still here man, carry yalls love on by still talking to her, brother.

We're glad you're here. You popped up on my humble build thread and then brought your positivity here. Are you kidding? I cant go back to not having Steve doodles!

I’ve got some older doodles in my photos gallery I’ll post some up.
Yeah, I do think this time of year will be a little bit of a test going forward. I’m not religious at all, but more of a spiritualist in my beliefs about the order of things, though I do feel that there’s possibly something keeping out there . I’ve experienced too much weirdness and unexplained to think otherwise.
Gotta do a little real work. I’ll be back in a while
 
So, weird day. Those of you who weren’t here before March you’ll have to use your imagination, to much to rehash. My boss was indicted on 3 counts based on charges of former employees. We all went to the hearing to support him. Got there at 10:35 and walked out at 12:45. Gave me post traumatic stress, last time I was in a court room I was wearing an orange jumpsuit and had matching bracelets on. Shelley had drove all the way to Ohio to transfer me back to face charges. Anyway the charges sounded even sillier than I thought. No victim, no damages and these were felony charges. I thought to myself what a waste of the judges time. I wanted to stand up and scream “ you’re out of order, this whole court room is out of order!” 🤪 This was a hearing just for the prosecution. The judge threw out 2 of the three charges. The remaining one was based on a device sold to physicians that they clip on to their clothes the records the visit and then ai creates a note for the visit and it saves the doctors time. Well it was used on 7 visits and two he didn’t ask permission, clearly an oversight and a mistake. One of those testified today but there were no damages. Next adventure will be the trial in 4 weeks.
Found it. This sounds like a preliminary hearing. Which are done in circuit court to see if there is enough evidence to be bound over to District court. Am I correct? Our judiciary system is long. The next step is taking a plea. Trial dates are set. But not in stone. They have what is called a trial list. As a case approaches that date other hearings can be set. If the defendant continues with a not guilty plea then dates are set for witness lists. Jury pools and a final trial date can be set. The attorneys must decide how much time each side needs to present and prepare for their side. This is only the beginning.

Honestly, I think you summed it up perfectly.
 
Love me some man in black!
True story. Once I went to this bar in NY. Hogs and Heffs. Requirement is shots with every beer. Place was packed. Jonny Cash Ring if Fire starts playing then Bar tenders poured whiskey all over the bar and set it on fire then danced on the bar.
