I’m from Maine as well! I am not sure how to make my own thread but I just wanted to say Hi! I was invited by kingranch2003 really excited to be here new to Reef2reef.🐠🪸
If you're on the mobile website there's a plus sign at the bottom of the page. Not sure on the computer website or the app but it's going to be similar.

Thank you! I figured it was because I was trying to use the app on my phone an it’s super glitchy but that looks way easier😊
 
This made me laugh I feel that 3 under three an a bonus child on weekends 10!
Wes, who’s on here later ( he’s on Pacific time) has us all beat hands down. He and his wife have 11 kids!
Oh my goodness!that was our plan big family but number four which is number three for me came an honestly I don’t know how he has time to breathe or live🤣🤣🤣 I barely have time to pee I’m currently letting them yell mom while I hide an write this reply 🤣🤣
 
Yes I've been on it for almost 3 years, doing the same at family meals as well, just no cake, pie, etc.
Hard for me as a sous chef being as how I have to taste everything but luckily, after all this time in the kitchen I manage to taste very little lol 😆
I've had no gluten for 4 years, which, after all my life, seems to have helped me the most.
Cheers Jimmy!
Morning Joel !
 
My kids are 2.5 years apart. We were aiming for 3-4 kids but it took us 3 years to get pregnant once we were ready and then waited a year and a half to start again and it took a year after that. He was a little intense on the energy levels so we decided 2 it was!

Also, my daughter was an emergency C-section two weeks late and my son was a semi-emergency C-section a month early. We didn't necessarily want another C-section.
Mine are 3.5 years apart and that was hard enough.
My daughter was like having 2 kids at once, luckily my youngest son Joe was easy peasy, but still a child that needed care and love.
I felt like we had 3 kids at the time lol 😆
My oldest son is 8 years older than my daughter and from marriage #1.
He was very easy until age 14,but really not very difficult at all.
 
Wes, who’s on here later ( he’s on Pacific time) has us all beat hands down. He and his wife have 11 kids!
I have a 25 year old daughter and a 24 year old vasectomy
 
I'm definitely not holding you to anything, but do you think there's any chance that goni has any bit of that orange color?
Looks pretty much dark magenta red to me from the pic. If you want some infusion of orange juice go with one of the others.
 
Hope all goes well. I will start a go fund me for bail, just in case. 😂
Unless we see some nice coral , then the fund might be going astray….🙃🤣🙃
 
Doing ok brother. My wife and I haven't been on a date night in 5 or 6 years. I feel ya 😪
I'm also currently fighting the urge to turn my new frag tank into a planted freshwater tank 🫣
