The elusive Diamond Goby making his first public appearance. Haven’t seen him since the first night when Angela had to throw him back in the tank. We knew he was still alive because we could see where he has been excavating the sand.
sorry, no time to put a filter on my phone for a better pic.

Good Morning Reefies
At the hospital with my son.
He’s having kidney stones surgically removed. Very large.

Oh no! I hope everything went well.

 

[Paul B]

OMG, very painful. I know them well and I feel for him.

Yup! Been there myself.

The best thing I ever did was stop using Amazon Prime. It has become the biggest waste of money. Their tracking is the worst. Very few items show up in 2 days. I feel your pain. I love living in the middle of nowhere and shopping online is necessary. I would do it differently if I could, but alas, it is worth it not having to deal with traffic and noise and so much light pollution.

All the delivery services are pretty screwed up right now. I'm dealing with huge delays from vendors at work.

+1 on all shipping companies delays. My neighbor works for FedEx and it's "All hands on deck" for Covid shipments as priority # one.

But back to better news/thoughts -> 2020 is OVER, spring is coming - it's been the longest year I can ever remembering having - thank God it's over!

it didn't.
doc told him before hand there was a 1% chance there would be blockage and they would have to put in a stent and revisit it in a week or two. he was the 1%. he's pretty bummed out he's going to have to go through the surgical attempt again. and he turned 26 this month so as of the end of the month he isn't on my or his stepdads insurance. he has insurance going forward but I'm betting out of pocket is going to be a lot more next time.:(

Shipping in general makes little to no sense to me. I have a package coming from Nevada. This morning it was 5 hours away. Today it will travel within one block from front door on it's way to 7 hours north of me. Tomorrow it will travel back south and wind up 2 hours north of me and sit there until Monday.

Don't feel bad, I live in Minnesota, I order fish or supplies from California/west coast - it goes to Nashville first then here. I try to wave at it as it goes by...

That's FedEx. They always make me chuckle. Everything they ship goes through Tennessee. West coast to TN, back out west to us.

Out of pocket is painful. The good news is that as long as you make an honest effort to pay medical bills there is little they can do to you.

yea, I used to hunt with a CEO.. CFO.. C something or nother for the major hospital chain here.
he told me not only just keep making minimal payments but it's all negotiable. they'll take less than what they bill you.

That's the thing. They will send you ugly and mean letters, but if you are paying the most you honestly can, there is next to nothing they can do.
