Brother, I’m at the elementary school too 😁
I ate some Chinese takeout in the truck while I was waiting. It's great because I get to eat and they have to smell pork and cabbage on the way back home 😆
 
You dip the fries in the chili!!
I prefer to dip my fries in a frosty and my chicken nuggets in their bacon cheddar baked potatoes...

You dip the frosty in bacon cheddar? Wow!
 
Good Afternoon John! Corals are definitely worth it. I have to remind myself that it’s basically a one man show so I’ll make allowances for shipping to a point. I’m a 50,00 on the phone but only 49,000 or so are reef pics.
I’ll say the same back at you , if you ever want to just chat on DM or call me (I’ll put the number in conversations) feel free to. Of course middle of the night is best time for real time due to my work.
Right on brother. Thank you. I sent mine to you as well
 
I hope they’re private schools and John and Paul aren’t making the same mistake my parents made. My younger sister did go to a girls private high school after moving to Manhattan to live with our dad and stepmother. I was going to The Ohio State University and her tuition was more than mine.
I like corals too much to afford private school. They can just deal with it. :)

Well I’m making Chinese tonight too. Had to run out for rice and broccoli and they had no fresh broccoli. So frozen micro. Seriously no fresh broccoli?

We plan on making cheese burgers after the hunt.
