Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
That's why you just go to multiple restaurants and make your own monstrosity, haha.

I do remember that on my travel days to FL, I would see a KFC Taco Bell combo. So you could leave with a couple burritos and a KFC 10 piece bucket
Sounds like a good trip to me!
 
Well it looks like despite the take out I’ve indulged with recently , I’ve actually lost almost 11 lbs since weighing myself last month . I think the fact I’ve stopped eating candy for the most part has definitely helped.
 
I don’t like Taco Bell at all. I used to like KFC growing up. Haven’t had it in some time however
KFC does have some good chicken, but I think I prefer Popeye's... not that I go to either very often though.
 
Been a hot second since I've had KFC. Around an hour or so from us, we do have a pretty famous landmark KFC called the Big Chicken. The mouth opens and closes, and the eye spins in circles. Pretty neat building.

Not to mention, they have a "gift shop" inside, and it's much bigger than your average KFC

Do you know if it's one of the originals?
 
This looks so good...But It's too early for lunch...I must look away!
It's never to early for fajitas!
How are you doing and how is River? His 1st birthday is coming up isn't it?

Good job man! I mean, if you were trying to lose weight that is.

Oh yeah, I’m chunkier than the proverbial monkey. Went from 332 to 321.

We're doing great. Very VERY busy, but blessed. He turned 1 this past Saturday...Crazy, a year has already passed! We went to the pumpkin patch, but he was more interested in picking flowers...

Oh my!! What a cutie! He's growing up Alycia. Grandpa Rev @revhtree must adore the little guy, look at his smile in that pic with River. This warms my heart.

Where did the blonde hair come from?? You are going to get a lot of calls from angry dads when he grows up!

Haha! His pawpaw is definitely wrapped around his finger 😂

And me, actually! His hair looks just like mine when I was a baby. It's darkened a lot as I've gotten older and since I've done so many crazy things to it LOL
 
How are you doing, @kevgib67 ? (Sorry If i missed an update somewhere in here!)

Good morning Alycia, hanging in there. They changed the plan which is frustrating but they did refer me to University Hospital in Cleveland renal transplant team which I just got off the phone with.
 
Do you know if it's one of the originals?
AFAIK, no, it isn't. What I read online is that it was built when HWY 41 was being built. KFC wanted a way for their business to stand out so they built it right next to the highway

I was a very blonde kid (even though I'm dark brown now), and Alycia still is blonde. He gets comments almost daily in public talking about his hair

Praying all goes well!
