Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
this has been a wild year for the top teams
Me and @AlyciaMarie talk about that all the time. CFP is slowly becoming the NFL with how trades are happening, how players are being paid, and how betting is so heavily involved now. It seems like every week a statement has to be issued about a missed call, or some kind of bad call that could have swung a game in a different direction.
 
Hope everyone had a fun-filled Halloween weekend this weekend! The neighborhood was packed with kids this year; we went through about 7-8 bags of candy! River was also the talk of the neighborhood due to his costume (nacho libre) and riding around in his RC truck blasting the intro song from the movie
 
“Tree watermelons”
Is that what you are calling it? If so, you are being innovative! I mean, buying a half melon now has a whole new meaning
yeah, took a while to find a non AI pic. but this will give you an idea. you grow the vine up a pole/trellis and the melons hang. 6" melons seem to be ok unsupported but large melons you can use hanging baskets or leash pouches like hammocks. if it works I can grow more in a smaller space by going vertical.
only the roots need the dirt. I've been doing this with cucumbers already.

Good morning Bailey! I suppose fun is one way to describe working a total 9 hours over night on less than 2 hrs of sleep 🤣🤣

Good morning Bailey, this year has been the worst!

On a similar note. I remember the Olympics when it was true non professionals , mostly college age or slightly younger in some sports. When the NBA and NHL and professional tennis started to play it was the end of an era.

One of Alycia's favorite nursing stories is when she had to work on Christmas Night in the ER. She was told the whole time it was an easy shift; no one goes to the hospital. She walked through the door, and the whole lobby was packed out, all of the beds full of unit holds, and she said it was the worst shift she ever had.

Oh good grief. Even I know overnight on Christmas will be horrible at an ER. I hope whoever lied to her like that got a piece of her mind about it!

Oh, they did. It was called her resignation notice, not too long after that
