She’s in the shower, she said something about it feeling like a small cactus. So, I’m here for a bit longer until I see the lights dim and hear the generator kick on

Yep, I bought one last night, hoping and praying it's at least sort of orange. If not, I'll fry it up like Tim's Oscar. I had a beautiful Amazeballz and it withered away for no reason I could determine. I'm a lot more capable now. Sometimes you just have to keep trying! Unbelievable selection Rock!
 
yes, Highland Park.
Good stuff!!
My fridge makes these round ice “cubes”, their actually balls. It just sounds weird saying ice balls. Reminds me of ice fishing

I wouldn’t know , I never had one !
Good thing, I’ve never had an ex boyfriend. I have a tattoo by my ring piece that says “exit only”
 
Love Apache Junction, well the Superstitions, but there are a bunch of new developments going in over there. One of my favorite model railroad shops was in Apache Junction (closed 2 years ago) and one of my favorite LFSs is in Mesa near the Apache Junction border.
Tom you would love this place!

I ordered a macro lens for my Nikon. I *should* get better pics and better close ups soon.
I have a hard time as well. I’ve purposely not bought the same colors. My vision is contrasting colors and movement. I am still deciding on arrangement though. One cannot rush art! 🤣
I’d say the Amazeballz is my favorite. It’s orange with yellow, purple and burgundy. The OG green glitter and red glitter, fireballs and lava lamp are next. Honestly, I’m not sure I could rank them. Those animals each have their own beauty and energy.
Sorry for rant
I love contrasting color schemes as well! I just feel like it adds more var to the eye candy in the tank!
