Tank birthday, 47+ years

[Paul B]

You don't give yourself enough credit. It's simple. Feed them correctly and don't quarantine them.

I'm not sure what I like best about your tank. Every video you post makes me look for bottles, chains and other things that are found in reefs yet are frowned upon in reef tanks! I still think the pipefish are my favorite, but those crabs are a close second.

Everything looks happy and healthy. Aren't you about to move soon? I know I would be nervous as heck disturbing that tank. Any special preparation for the move?

I bought a couple of bottles of Grand Marnier today.

Here is a list of clinical trials from ClinicalTrials.gov. Locito277, is the one that you mentioned on this list?

Should be because all clinical trials are listed on clinical trials.gov. There may be others as well. I know Biogen is the pharma company.

That sounds like a rock solid plan. Problem solved![emoji33]

[Turbo's Aquatics]

What do you have to mess up in order to get a product banned from being used in so many countries? Man if it's not good enough for Uzbekistan, it's not good enough for me.

Sorry to hear about your wife's continuing MS issues.

 

[Paul B]

Like really!

Instead of listing all that, why don't they just say: This item is only available in Bayonne New Jersey on a Tuesday between 2:00 and 2:15

 

[Brew12]

Like whats the problem in those places?

Lack of water or very environmentally friendly!

You want a toilet that uses too much water!

 

[Paul B]

The thing has a double flush system and uses less water than a damp sponge. It lists Viet Nam. I was there and they have more water than there are parasites on a Naso tang in a Noobs Nano tank

 

[Chasmodes]

Chas, I don't see the link

Sorry. I guess you can't post that link here...it was there for a while I don't know why because it's a Fed Govt site. Search clinicaltrials.gov for the disease and you will see the list. I didn't think this site would care about that, but maybe they thought it was spam or something.

 

[Paul B]

I will look Thanks

Some of those countries may not even use toilets.

 

[Paul B]

That is true. I have been to five or six of those countries and I can attest to that.

Tonight I am making my wife one of these because she hasn't been feeling very good. I myself don't like lobsters because my family had a sea food business and I used to have to eat the lobsters that died in the store so I am sick of them. (you can't sell dead lobsters) My Mother made them every way possible. Peanut butter and lobster sandwiches, Ham and lobster, lobster with Cheerios, Deviled lobster, Grilled cheese and lobster, and my favorite chocolate chip ice cream with lobster sauce.
I am making myself grilled cod steaks.
So we went shopping this morning at the Supermarket. In Supermarkets I get that "Supermarket look" where I am in a trance and counting the seconds to when we get out. I probably also have my eyes rolled back in my head.
Supermarkets are not Man places but my wife needs some help so I go with her.
My wife has to go down every aisle even if she just needs milk. Us Men shop differently. If I need to pop in to a store (which rarely happens unless it is a chain saw or cro bar store) For something quick like that black paint bald people put on their heads to make it look like they have hair, and in my case the roller to apply it. I just go to that section without looking at anything else except for the free tiny pieces of cheese on toothpicks that they sometimes give out as samples. I pick that paint up and find the quickest way to the cashier, and if there is a line, I put it back and leave as I don't do lines.

Anyway.

As we were going down one aisle my wife was busy reading the ingredients on something boring because she needs to know the salt, carbs, calories, fat and just about everything else and in my stupor this middle aged woman comes up to me and starts talking. At first I thought she knew me but she didn't look familiar. That doesn't mean too much to me because I have a lousy memory for faces, names, places or numbers so she could have been my sister, but I don't have one. She continued talking to me but I didn't quite know what she was talking about and her sentences didn't seem to go together, so I smiled and said something like, "Oh, thats too bad or OMG thats great". I don't remember. But she was looking right at me and saying things that didn't seem to have anything to do with me or anything familiar. Then she walked right past me like I wasn't even there and continued talking. I assumed she was nuts until I realized that she had one of those stupid bluetooth things in her ear and was talking to someone else. Probably her Psychiatrist. I mean aren't people embarrassed to walk around in public speaking out loud so everyone can hear them! That drives me nuts, especially when they are looking right at you.

 

[Chasmodes]

You made me laugh multiple times while reading one of your posts...I don't know how many times that I've done that, but thanks. That's the kind of stuff that I think about when I have to go to the grocery store and exactly the approach my wife takes too (every aisle).

 

[Sea MunnKey]

My Mother made them every way possible. Peanut butter and lobster sandwiches, Ham and lobster, lobster with Cheerios, Deviled lobster, Grilled cheese and lobster, and my favorite chocolate chip ice cream with lobster sauce.

Oh man ... my youngest daughter just can't get enough of lobsters and of all that your mom used to make them lobster meals ... I think my daughter would have liked the grilled cheese and lobster best!!
