  1. I think I need to turn predictive text off on my phone. This thing is twisted, and has a bad sense of humor. I wanted to tell someone about my new zoas ("pretty things"), phone sez thongs. Great, that got awkward.

      Ya gotta love auto-correct.

  2. I'm a pretty happy camper today. Just got notification that my submission to coralpedia.com was accepted and I now have my first named coral!

  3. Ya know, I just LOVE tearing down the rear end on a 4WD because someone tried to save a few bucks on a new pinon nut. Thanks for that buddy.

  4. The new (to me) frag system is up and running. Adding live rock and macro today. It sure is going to make things nicer for me and my frags :)

      Frag away! Hopefully they'll be ready for the April Frag Swap

  5. Ugh! I have a skunk under my house. Lovely. Seems like I have to deal with this about every two years. Get OUT.

      In some countries this is considered lucky.

      Well, if anyone wants some "good luck", they can come get it :P

  6. Well, I confirmed again today that 55g tanks are tempered, apparently on ALL sides. I blew one a while back trying to drill the end panel. Today I imploded another one trying to drill the back. I'm just going to build the dang tank I want and be done with it.

      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 :)

  7. You know it's time to thin the fuge when you drop a large piece of rubble in there, and it DOES NOT sink. My chaeto is like steel wool, ridiculous.

    1. JamesL

      JamesL

      Heh.. yeah, I thought it was bad when my chaeto came out in a perfect rectangle :)

  8. What in the world possesses people to think that they MUST pass that truck running in 4wd with their 2wd car, on an icy highway, going way too fast? This, I do not understand. And they have the nerve to act surprised when they find themselves in the ditch.

      Nothing like watching a car come past you rear end first. They didn't start out that way. Lubbock to Snyder was a mess yesterday. The major giggle came from the hummer that blew past me hauling tail, honking and flipping me off, only to lose it, swap ends and wind up in the center median. I just beeped and waved, and kept driving. Ugly old Ford 4wd never missed a beat or spun a wheel. So there :P

    3. Sherita

      Sherita

      And yes, I waved with ALL of my fingers, LOL.

      I love my AWD car :)

  9. What makes people ask for advice from others with experience, and then not listen? This drives me crazy.

      i wish there was a "like" button on here. this is so true

  10. Well, the snow has stopped. It's colder than a well diggers.......pick. Fireplace is nice and warm, tanks looking good. Just wish it would warm up a bit.

      Chad and Belinda

      Where do you live???

    2. Sherita

      Sherita

      I'm out near Abilene. Have no fear, I won't send any of the snow in your direction, LOL.

    3. August

      wish it would snow here... lots of snow like colorado/wyoming type snow.... have fun in it so ready for colder temps

  11. Hah! Caught the black and gold chromis that was hassling my welso. He's been banished to the 75g. His greed got the better of him, he just couldn't stand looking at the food in the trap.

  12. Just who programs the dictionary on these smart phones? I have words on my phone that do NOT belong there. One little slip of the finger, and oh boy. This phone is twisted, and not in a good way.

  13. I got aggravated at the substrate in my 40br frag tank. I drained the tank and took it out. Now it's bare bottom. So there.

  14. My tuxedo urchin is trying to steal my welso this morning. It's bigger than he is, but he has managed to get under it. Now I have to take it away. His fashion accessories always crack me up.

  15. Fed the tanks tonite. Claude the zebra moray got too excited and came out of the tank like a scud missile. Eels are hard to pick up off the floor. Animated snot, with teeth.

      No, but I bet they are about the same. Slimy.

      I'm sorry but I can't help but laugh uproarously at the visuals! :-0 :-0

    4. Sherita

      Sherita

      Timfish, I got hit with a fit of the giggles as it was happening. Wanna know how to pick up an eel? Dustpan. But ya gotta be quick.

  16. Ugh! I know me a house dog that needs a bath. Tomorrow is supposed to be warm enough, her big, smelly self is going to be tortured with soap and water.

  17. I've got my stuff ready for the MAAST frag swap at the end of this month. Who else is going?

    1. Chad and Belinda

      Chad and Belinda

      We'll be there...to shop :o)

  18. Grrr, stupid snails. HOW do they know which frags aren't glued down?

    1. jestep

      jestep

      I had that problem with my urchin knowing which rocks weren't epoxied down...

    2. Grim

      Grim

      Ha stupid snails.....

  19. Explain this to me. How is it that I can set up a new frag tank to go with the older frag tank. Move some frags around and I still don't have any room??? They are now BOTH full. What's going on here? Now I have to find a place for my new goodies that are coming in Wednesday (Clint and Kevin gonna be jealous!)

      cant wait to see what you got sherita

    3. Sherita

      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!

    4. Sherita

      Sherita

      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.

  20. I went into the bathroom this morning.....squish. Wait a minute, tile floors do NOT go "squish". But they do when you have a water leak at the shower valve, and the water has gotten under the tile and backerboard. Tearing out a tile floor, not the way to start a day.

    1. MasonHoff
    2. Sherita

      Sherita

      Yup, pretty hard. Tore out the tile and backerboard, and a wall. Got the leak fixed. Now I am waiting for everything to dry out so I can put it back together.

  21. Nothing quite like waking up to a herd of cows in your yard. They've wandered towards the back of my place, so at least the dogs have settled down. Cows before coffee, that ain't right.

      I'm sure they were just wondering around seeing if anyone wanted fresh milk in their coffee.

  22. Need a little help here. Apparently other folks can't see my pictures in my current thread in reefkeeping. Help please?

    1. Sherita

      Sherita

      Maybe I got it fixed?

    2. JamesL

      JamesL

      Looks fixed to me.

  23. Had a ball at the frag swap. It was nice to finally put faces to names :) And thanks to everyone who offered to help when my frag tank unceremoniously sprang a leak. All my new frags are beautiful!

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

    3. JamesL

      That green leather I got from you expanded really nicely!

    4. Sherita

      Sherita

      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!

  24. Got the last of my stuff ready for the frag swap. I may need a bigger frag tank :) Also dragged out the 12g nano and stand to take for the swap, since I don't need it anymore.

    1. MasonHoff

      MasonHoff

      thanks for the monti! super nice coral

  25. I'm so happy! First night for my injured pup to be off her pain meds, and she seems very comfortable. Well, other than being aggravated at her cast.
