What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
I love scrambled eggs and Ramen! It feels good to finally be able to say that out loud 🤣
Sometimes I will also add that ingredient that Paul hates and real peas and corn or even spinach if I have it.
 
Hey all , I was no call no show today large because I was asleep for the vast majority of it. Between feeling exhausted due to poor sleep and anxiety over a meeting this Monday morning after shift with my nurse manger and program director which I assume is related to difficulties with wakefulness on shift, in which I either will be getting a written warning or needed to look for a new job(my assumption) I just plain crashed out between 8:30 and 9 this morning. Woke at 4 and managed another couple hours shortly after.
I may be around later tonight to hang out, see what the night brings.
 
Been busy today trying to finish up my shed shelving, Already finished one side, and already have it full of in my opinion mostly junk.

Love to see this right next to the coffee maker 😉
 
This sounds a lot less complicated than the kits I’ve been looking at. I’ll be rounding up the supplies tomorrow! Thanks - you just saved me some money ❤️
Hey, don't hesitate to reach out at any stage in the game! This is super easy, and a lot of fun. You've got this. I'll try to dig up the list of materials to make the seives with.
 
Try rooting for the Padres John.
57 years and counting...
I completely get it. So many greats have come through there. Back in the 90s when we played the Padres more often, I loved watching them play. I mean, Hoffman, Caminiti, Vaughn, Finley etc...

But then there was The Man wearing #19

Thanks Jimmy, they took me to death’s door. I was in the hospital for over over 2 months when I was in the hospital for the transplant. They took me off the transplant list 3 times because I was to critical to make it through surgery. I ran into one of my doctors on a follow up visit and he said “I try not getting to close to my patients but I was pulling for you but I never thought you were going to make it.”
We are all glad you did make it. You are one tough guy. Folks like you are why I get up and do something most mornings. Can't complain when you are still up and doing what you can. Sending you hugs 🥰 And your dance days were saved by the mermaid in white rescuing you. 🤣
 
Oh I see how ya are Amanda. When I mention it, you're afraid to kill your fish. Then Tim the Temptor shows up and all of a sudden you should try it again? 😠 😡
