    Church Bullitins (Not religious)

    Church Ladies With Computers.... They're Back! Those wonderful Church Bulletins! Thank God for church ladies with computers. These sentences (with all the BLOOPERS) actually appeared in church bulletins or were announced in church services: -------------------------- The Fasting &...

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    I should have done this myself because this is what happens when you hire someone. If you want it done right, you should do it yourself. The only reason I didn't do that is that I need two hands to use the saw to cut out my old knee and I also need two hands to put my fingers in my ears...

    I just came back from the Knee guy and it seems only 1 or 2% of his patients get this. Guess which percent I am? He said it is rare and I got a bad case of it. Thats Great!!!. I wanted to be in the One percent with this. It seems that a ligament that runs along side your knee is rubbing up...

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    Tomorrow I have an emergency visit with my knee doctor. At this point I am supposed to be able to leap tall buildings in a single bound, or at least walk around a Hardware store looking for a nose ring. But after about 50 yards, the thing locks up and I start walking like Neil Armstrong on the...

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    I just fed my tank and unfortunately I have nothing to write. I wish something would have a spot or a black area, sucking air from the surface, tumor, strange growth from it's ear, Carpal tunnel syndrome, irritable bowel disease, something. But I got nothing. My mandarins are still fat and...

    I don't have to much to report today except that I volunteered at the Long Island Aquarium yesterday (Atlantis) It was my first day volunteering. First they had me washing the sharks, then I painted murals on the sea turtles. OK, I didn't do any of that. I did have to stand by the sting ray pool...

    I got nothing and my wife is still sleeping so I will re-post a trip I took on Spirit Airlines. If you don't want to read it, go back to sleep at it is 6:00 am here. I had to edit it a little as it may not have been PC enough and I don't want to get Tarred and feathered. Well since the last...

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    I collected more water today, not that I needed it but it was so warm I wanted to do something in the sunlight and didn't want to put on my Speedo to get a tan. I went down to the beach expecting it to be empty but almost all the parking spots were taken although no one was swimming. I had no...

    Yes I do. Maybe once or twice a month when I think about it. But it doesn't seem to matter much. My calcium is always about 440. Maybe it's my calcium kit that came in a wooden box with directions in Sanscrit. Today started out at 5 degrees and my titanium knee is letting me know it is not...

    I just did something that I rarely do, I tested my nitrates and Calcium. My calcium is 440 and nitrates are 5. Not bad and I am surprised being I feed so much. But it is all new NSW from 7 months ago so I guess it is all good. :rolleyes:

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    I finished therapy for my new knee a few days ago but the Dr. said I have to go to the gym and use the incombant bicycle for exercise and try to get the leg to bend more. I kind of like it straight but he said it needs to bend if I want to walk. So I go to the gym with my wife who goes almost...

    I just remembered a Viet Nam story. If I wrote it already just go and watch Oprah. We were on an LZ (Big clearing in the jungle) which is where I usually was and me, my Captain and a couple of other guys were talking and having a hot beer that we got from the Air Force. This guy comes up to us...

    The Dr. said I don't have to go to therapy after this week because I am such a fine specimen of a man. :D I just have to ride my bicycle. I am looking for snow tires for it now. :rolleyes:

    The tank is fine. The knee, not so much. I go to the Dr. today. Maybe he will put a grease fitting in. :confused:

    The water I collected warmed up and the salinity was 0.014 so I could either add some salt or buy some kissing gourami's. I added some salt, a lot of it. The water is still slightly green even after diatom filtering it for a few hours so I was a little hesitant to add all 40 gallons of it at...

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    I have been looking over a few other forums where I wrote that I sometimes add, or used to add garden soil to my tank. I didn't invent that, it was Robert Straughn, The "Father of Salt Water Fish Keeping" and many people are aghast at that (I love that word and wonder where it came from) Anyway...

    So yesterday we went to see the Kids and Grand Kids in the East Village in Manhattan. I worked in Manhattan for 40 years and would rather have Nancy Pelosi stick me in the eye, twice with a sea urchin, then step on my busted knee with a high heel than go into Manhattan. So I have to stop...

    Today I had a little not to painful morning so I did some maintenance. I re-built the skimmer venturi to make finer bubbles and I cleaned the thing. I cleaned the algae scrubber and re-built my magnet/razor glass cleaner. I made it to a store and bought some food and clams and all is well...
