Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Well for starters it won’t be Mississippi unless I’m living as the Troll in The Basement in your house. Which could be fun and dangerous in a good way. I’m still trying to stay put . Let’s see what these last couple of weeks goes.
And my favorite omelets are western and house style ones with a mix of veggies and meat. Make sure there’s plenty of salsa
Mississippi eggs, Mexican lettuce, jalapeños and salsa? Got it, I’ll bring a couple cases of toilet paper, I got your back Steve!
 
I would like my omelet to be a meat lovers like I had for supper last night from Huddle House. It has ham, bacon, sausage, tomatoes, onions and cheese please...
I’m with you Amanda, the more the better!
 
So a funny thing happened on the way to the homestead. I haven’t left yet. Turns out we had what we thought was a no call no show. So I was going to direct from work to the apartment viewing. But lo and behold the person apparently overslept and will be here by 9.

Wait, I thought that’s the Cleveland Special? Made with pure Lake Erie duck eggs?
 
Good morning everyone! I slept in a bit this morning it was a hard week with a very emotional day at work yesterday and I was exhausted. We have an interpreter at work that was brought to the US illegally when she was a small child and this country is all she knows. When the DACA program started many years ago she got a lawyer and managed to get a permit to work and be here legally and she has to renew it every 2 years. Her current renewal paperwork is still pending even though she submitted it a long time before she needed to. This is due to current government wanting to do away with the program which the Supreme Court finally has to rule on. In the meantime the ones incharge cut back on personnel and funding and just a bunch of political crap. Since her status is still in pending they have to terminate her employment as of 8/18. It was such an emotional day with a lot of us crying with her and praying for her. I'm not trying to be political or have a discussion on politics but what is happening with her is wrong. She's doing everything that's asked of her by them, she's never done anything illegal other than being brought here as a child which was not in her control. Anyways sorry for the long post hope it doesn't offend anyone my heart is just heavy for her and her family.
It’s fine. You have every reason to be upset. What’s being done is not just shortsighted and detrimental to this country but morally hurtful as well. Thinking of you and your work comrades and wish for some good karma to head all of yours way.
 
A friendly reminder John from a concerned yankee, toss your eggs!

First lettuce, then jalapeños, now eggs!? What am I supposed to put on my pizza now?!
 
Don’t forget to pack some Yankee eggs before you move to Mississippi Steve, I’ll be bringing a few dozen. See you down there. What type of omelets do you like?
As long as the shrimp are ok, we're good brother! I just picked up the for sale sign out of their yard
