Folks, if you've recently upgraded or renewed your annual club membership but it's still not active, please reach out to the BOD or a moderator. The PayPal system has a slight bug which it doesn't allow it to activate the account on it's own.
Diana they don't allow Dodge ball in school any more because almost everyone now is a Snowflake or knows a a Lawyer who is a Snowflake. They don't allow drinking from a hose either probably because some lawyer owns the bottled water company. I think they fill those bottles from a hose anyway...
Paulie, this pair lived and spawned like that for 12 years and then died with in a week of each other. Probably from a broken heart.
Sometimes you can see the baby crabs early in the morning because they keep the eggs in their shell and push them out in the morning. They are tiny and stay near...
We had a lot of empty lots where I lived so we made rafts to float around on. Of course we always sunk and were full of mud.
We would shoot rats with the sling shots or go fishing in a lake with a string and a hook that we found.
There were worms all over the place for bait and we would keep...
Diana, today if it doesn't have a USB port on it a kid wouldn't have the slightest Idea what to do with it.` I grew up playing stick ball. My Mom would get so mad because I used to cut the broom handle off for the stick then try to hide the broom part. I don't think they even sold those...
Kids today, including my own can't buy a clue. My Grand Daughter last year was on vacation with my Daughter and her husband in Mystique. It was something like $50,000.00 a week and had Jeeps, boats, pools, oceans, everything you can imagine.
Greta just sat there on the floor looking at her...
On the day of my confirmation I was all dressed up in a new suit, tie and new shoes. Me and my friend went to the park and rented a small rowboat. Our "friends" called us over near the side of the lake because they wanted to tell us something. We rowed near them and they started throwing cherry...
Growing up in the fiftees. This should be in the Lounge.
I decided to write this because this morning we face timed our Grand Daughter who has just about anything you can imagine and is bored out of her head.
Because of Covid they had to leave their apartment in the West Village in...
Some day I need to do some work on my tank. I need to move the entire middle section back a few inches because some of the corals are to close to the glass and my magnet cleaner hits it.
I did this once before and I don't look forward to it. I have to wear thick gloves so my fireclowns...
They won't live half a year in a tropical tank so quarantining is a moot point.
I also think quarantining is the worst thing us Geezers invented. But we invented that before we knew any better. Eventually you learn how to keep this stuff healthy naturally. :cool:
My good friend paulie collected this in Barnicut bay Jersey and sent it to me.
(He is a very nice, generous guy)
It is some codium seaweed with some limpets attached
.
At first I thought they were chitons, but they are limpets. Very common here on the east coast of the US and probably all over...
We did have a great "driveway" party yesterday after boating. We all brought, or bought food and set up tables and chairs in my driveway.
I made the fireworks and most of the drinks and we had a nice turn out. It's not like the old parties because the Virus put a damper on that :(
But we...
Yesterday I threw about 25 small mud snails in my tank. Today,I can't find even one. :cool:
I am waiting to go out to dinner and I was watching my tank with the room lights off. (Yes,i am weird)
I noticed my new, smaller 6 line wrasse which I have not seen in the week or two since I added him...
We now live in a condo and,they uncovered the pool yesterday but it has no water in it so swimming is difficult and noisy. The walls of it are also filthy. Apparently there is a leak in the thing someplace and they are repairing that. After they do that and fill it, I would imagine they will...
This morning at 6:00am I went to a doctors office for an endoscopy. Yes, Sunday morning at 6:00 am. What kind of Doctor works on a Sunday much less at 6:00 in the morning?
It was just a routine thing and if you live long enough they send you for all sorts of fun things. I especially enjoy the...
