But "eradicate" must be one of your "buzzwords"! There are 4 pages of posts where you use that word!!
Jeez Louise! I gotta find some synonyms and start varying my vocabulary:

  1. Eliminate
  2. Exterminate
  3. Obliterate
  4. Remove
  5. Annihilate
  6. Abolish
  7. Wipe out
  8. Extirpate
I need to eradicate exterminate repetitive words from my texts. :p

Don't forget "squish".

I was just letting you know, as a friend. Hahahaha

However, I promise to use "extirpate" in a sentence 3x, tomorrow.

It took so much self-control not to go down the rabbit hole of reading Miami reef and Randy's posts that now I need to back, remember where they were and bookmark them for when I have time.
I went to all my threads from the first thread I ever made. It took 4-5 pages of clicking each thread and scrolling through each post. I couldn’t handle the cringe so I had to stop.

Lord save me. I needed to shower after that. Literally. Haha

I tried to find it because I would have posted the link here so nobody else would have the need to scroll that far back. Even I couldn’t do it. It was too painful and I was motivated to find that clue to prevent anyone else from going into the depths of despair.

Please take this the right way.... I stumbled on to finding your oldest posts. It gave me hope!!! In 7 short years you went from "what is this?!??" For every new sponge to one of the forum masters.

Perhaps, someday, a young *snort* ingenue (newb) like me may know something about this hobby!

Sorry y'all... I've been scrolling so long, I've forgotten what I'm supposed to find... And that I know way too much about Miami reef.... Hahahaha

Hubby is snoring and the dogs aren't speaking to me. Nighty night.

My reefing story was different than most. I was still a kid when we moved into my grandfather’s house that had a 300 gallon tank built cheaply. I had to learn everything the hard way by jumping directly into it.

I wasn’t plumbing savvy. I got really overwhelmed and the only way I was able to survive was to use a forum where I asked every single question imaginable because I had no idea how to even phrase an internet question at the time.

I made a lot of stupid mistakes and I’ve asked really silly questions. I’m super grateful for this forum that held my hand and walked me through the fire. :)
