Sherita

My first clue was the monti's. The setosa went from bright orange to pale orange and covered in slime. The bulletproof orange cap did the same thing. Zoas closed up, acros rtn'ed.

BTW, it wouldn't have likely bit me, since I always have on dry, rubber soled shoes when working in the tanks. Since it couldn't have completed the circuit using me, I most likely wouldn't have even felt a thing. The corals were what clued me in that I had a major issue.

very sad

so are we going to do another WP group buy soon then?

If we do, I am in for sure! If not, ebay here I come!

well there is possibly 3. im sure there are plenty more people that want them

sifuentes you would LOL. haha We should make it the next reef meeting. I'm down to at least beat Planeden

oh yeah? remember i can kink a hose with a dislocated shoulder. hmmm, that sounded more intimidating in my head .

We really should have a bake/cook off as a club meeting. Everyone could fix their best/favorite dish, and then we could all eat it after the judging!

did you get your face mask yet? (ducking lick a snake in the sherita's dog run)

Ok.great...ill be waiting..

Congrats!

I think C.S Lewis said it best. "The pain i have now is the happiness I felt before. That is the deal" Cherish the memories you have of your loved one.

Sorry for your loss Sherita

Sorry 4 your loss. I cried like a baby when my dog died. She was the only thing I had at the time. She waited till I got home to see me 1 last time.

any luck on your corals sherita?

Sorry to hear that. I'm having the same issue with my new phone. Stuck in Memphis too. Was supposed to be here today. Not getting here till Monday night. Now my phone is gone, and I don't have my contacts. I run super bowl #'s. Not good. Hope your corals made it.

I've got two zoa colonies that will not open up no matter what. Seller is going to comp for them. But still, so upsetting.

I moved a 125-gallon all by myself, and set it up on the stand as well. Dumbest thing I ever did... though I did give myself crafty points for doing it. One slip away from staying with a 65-gallon.

Forgot to mention the best part... 206 lbs, moved in from the garage and lifted on to a 2.5 foot high stand. Leverage is your friend.

I *will* be getting more people when its time to put in on the stand. 42" tall stand I won't attempt with 4 ppls.

No guts, no glory I've got a fairly twisted sense of humor, it's not likely you would have offended me, LOL.

I will not that for the future. The comedic timing is off now. So, next time you set me up with slow pitch over the plate I'll take a hefty swing at it. .

Bring it

Where can we see the photo?

That's awesome. Congrats.

Thank y'all. You can see the photo at http://www.dfwmacna.com/2013-macna-calendar/

Check out the website... I lost 15lbs in 5 weeks, and I didn't weigh that much to begin with. The plans are easy to follow, progressive, and not crazy like what you normally see. They're comprehensible!

Clint is just jealous I look better in the leotard than he does.

Heck, right now *I* would probably be jealous. But, I'm hoping 1300 calories a day, and 90 minutes a day at the gym are about to change that. I hope.

Tobias Funke comes to mind

Is this like some kinda lead-in to a new zoa?

No lead in. This was a half naked, tweaker that had been huffing blue paint. She was so messed up that is was unbelievable.

After dealing with them today, I can honestly say that the USPS is a joke. Stonewalling, lying, rerouting, disconnecting, incompetent bunch of fools. I'm sure they have some good employees, but I didn't find one today.

I really wish the USPS would just disappear....they really serve no purpose. lol

Oh yay. Post office robots still can't find the missing box. All they can do is read from their little script. Due for delivery May 9th. Apparently they don't own a calendar. Or can't read.

cant wait to see what you got sherita

First arrivals are here and acclimated. Fluorescent pink ric, fluorescent bicolor ric bright yellow/lime green, Pink Ziggies zoas, Purple Hornets, and Red Velvet Zoas. Waiting on the FedEx truck for my Cornbreds. Wish they would get here!

They're here! Just acclimated and they are setting in. Jason Fox Jingle Bell Cyphastrea, Cornbred Lava Eye Chalice, Cornbred Paparazzi chalice, Cornbred Frostbites Zoas, Cornbred Starburst chalice, Cornbred Treasure Chest chalice, Cornbred Resurrection chalice, Cornbred Pumpkin Face Leptastrea. Got these straight from Rich Negret, and they are NICE. Pics once they settle in.

LOL keep it up!!

Quitting smoking is probably the best think you can do for yourself. Congrats!

Gongrats!!! Belinda and I quit almost 8 years ago and never went back. If I can do it so can you!!!

I'm with you. Why waste the power? Clothesline is a project on the list when it gets cooler. I'm not digging post holes, and pouring concrete in this heat. So, fall project.

The summer is the best time to build post holes! At least that is what I was told when I was a kid

use duct tape and frag glue

Somehow I don't see that happening I can keep it sound mechanically, but the body work is beyond my skill set.

in that case, just get the mechanical side working like factory, then make the body look like something out of Mad Max..

I'm going to have the body shop repair the body rot around the fender wells and then stick a set of flares on it. I wish I could find someone to put a cheap paint job on it, but no joy there.

They durn sure ain't shrinking. The acans are about the size of a golf ball now, and HUNGRY.

beware of crazed woman in bath robe...

Bwahaha!

I told the FedEx guy (I know him) that if he hadn't stopped I was going to be stuck to his windshield. He about died laughing.

LOL@Belinda. If he does, I will be forced to go find him. Want my fishies!

They are HERE!

Alright, get them acclimated and then we want some pics!

Way Cool!

Bam! http://zoaid.com/gallery2/main.php?g2_itemId=12008

Wow, I'm impressed Sherita. May be worth a thread to discuss what was involved.

prof, I was using my glass hole saw. The same one I have used many times to drill tanks. Do Not Work on tempered glass, LOL. Not a big deal. It was a used tank, just a bit startling when it imploded.

u can always just replace the back glass

SHHHH! No I can't!! I must upgrade

Hmm, you will have to copy/paste that. Thats my yellow hammer. My orange collection is next up.

NICE!!!

very cool. orange sounds awesome, too.

Thanks again sherita! the monti you gave me looks great in my tank!

That green leather I got from you expanded really nicely!

Glad to hear that my corals are behaving themselves I had a great time, and brought home some real nice pieces. Kevin and Clint sure fixed me up!

Thanks guys! My goal weight is 145. Lets just say I have a ways to go, LOL. But that's ok. I didn't get this fat in a month, I ain't gonna lose it in a month.

Congrats!

Please wear a name tag at our next get together since I probably won't recognize you!

Yep. Got it for you.

Well, I was off today. Let me double check tomorrow.

Have 2 left.

Bahahaha!

I laugh, but the situation here is outrageous. They are *EVERYWHERE*

I will probably help offload some at the frag swap

Actually I was thinking you blew that theory out of the water a few years ago :-D
