as to hope & happiness.. after reading almost all of the dead white guys. over about 20 credit hours of philosophy classes. would say that the most important thing to realize about them is to live with a sense of satisfaction. understanding it & what provides it. on a personal note & being quite nuts. would say that for the downs or times when its hard to find pleasure in life. find the things that are capable of bringing you back to this sense of satisfaction. be it, that fall you know you'll take if you miss the move & doing it anyway or a morning cup of coffee. see I'm nuts my favorite part of climbing is falling. what ever you need to before the funk takes hold.

Happy Dancing about my new frags.

Just posted pics on my thread, yay! Pics are ugly, but the corals are pretty.
Also bought some Coral Revive while I was there. Don't want to take any unnecessary chances at this point. Now, if my %&#*@ clowns will calm down, everything should settle in nicely.

I'm glad I didn't become a plumber, I tell you what. Also, I can has fishtank, w/ 2 holes in it, not broken, also I have a skimmer being broken in. I am loving it. Pump is supa quiet, skimma is kinda loud. Time to figure out how to adjust my overflow so its quieter.

I almost thought this was my tank thread for a minute, maybe I should stop loitering in here about my tank, and do that in the other thread. I was definitely seeing stars earlier, pain meds plus plumbing with one arm strapped to my chest. I was helping all I could, or so I thought. I was more than likely just getting in the way.

I always suspected you were stiff-necked.

I shall think of you fondly as I go drink my locally procured coffee and read a book liberally sprinkled with magic and possibly even cool stuff like fairies and dragons.

Fun and camping in 25* weather doesn't make sense to me. Then again, the closest I come to camping is a stroll through the park.
I'm jealous, Weets. I've got a good cup of coffee at my side, but no book. Laundry day, maybe I'll find something good to read in the laundry room. srsly, people leave books down there for others to take.

Sorry you're still sick, Richie. I've had the crud for over two weeks now, probably the same bug going around.
On another note, are you glad you went with the Kindle as opposed to one of the other brands? I think we're looking at getting one of them for my middle guy at Christmas time.

Sick sucks, feel better dude. Good news I found coffee.
Weets, I just read some books by Brandon Sanderson, if fantasy novels are your thing he writes good fast paced stuff.
My tank made it through the night, no floods, I actually had a hard time sleeping I was so nervous. The pain killers might have had something to do with that though.

Thanks Anne. Well, last Christmas that was something I wanted to get for Donna. As it turned out the Nook was not available until two weeks after Christmas ( so they said, turned out closer to two months ). So that was the deal breaker for me. I wanted something for her to open and use, not a "coupon" for later lol
Truth be told it seems that the nook may have a few more "toys" - a clock for one example, although kindle added that recently. So things change all the time as B&N and Amazon battle back and forth. You will need to shop for certain.
That said we are happy with the two we own.

No problem. Not long ago Donna and I stopped in B&N and wound up checking out the latest nook. I got the feeling she would have purchased the nook if she were to buy one for herself ( she would NEVER say that though )

That would work. or you could tell em you hate blacks, jews, chistians, muslims, and everyone else who disagrees with you. That would get you out pretty fast, or say you don't speak english.
