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.
I'm looking for some SPS frags, too, especially a green Milli, and a green slimer. :) Of course I'm always interested in zoos and other stuff as well. This will be my first meeting, and I am SO looking forward to meeting so many of you.

I was able to talk to someone in the German Consulate yesterday morning, and he was quite helpful. The Consulate itself doesn't provide the POAs, but he said I could easily download German pre-typed POAs, re-word them for my needs, fill it out, take it to the Consulate and sign it there and have...
Tom,
Thanks so much for the link. Yep, German law is a bit different, Germans are extremely picky and anal about what document they accept and from whom.
I'll give you guys a call this morning. :)

Thank you very much.
So it is possible then for me to write the POA myself, as long as I am really specific about WHAT I authorize my sister to do, and WHO exactly she is (sister, full name, date of birth, ID#, address, phone number).
Yes, this is regarding legal and financial matters...
Hi friends,
I am going ballistic over here. I need to get a Power of Attorney to/for my sister in Germany, and despite researching and making phone calls all day, I haven't gotten anywhere. :(
The only attorney who called me back told me he'd be happy to write out a POA, but advised against it...
Thank you very, very much, Tom and Phyl.
Phyl, being so far away right now is tremendously painful. I feel helpless and overwhelmed with the information I received.
I thank God for having Alex here with me and my boys. Right now and I am "comfortable" (<-- for lack of a better word) grieving...
Turn for the worse
My mom had been in rehab until yesterday, and was scheduled to go home tomorrow. I talked to her on the phone last Monday. It was her 83rd birthday, and even though she was under tons of pain medication, she sounded ok.
Last night she was having extreme difficulties...
Not a big beach person here. Let me rephrase that: I'm super fair-skinned and blonde - 10 minutes at the beach with the strongest sun block and I still resemble a tomato. :-[
Now I LOVE to swim in the ocean, but usually we wait to go swimming until the lifeguards have closed shop. ;D Traffic is...
Phyl, how does one go about shopping? You mean I can shop from the club directly? I am really interested in some Millis, so it would be awesome if the club sold frags. :)

Nice pictures and beautiful corals, Tom. ;D Please put me on the "want" list for the Superman once he grows big enough that you could frag a tiny piece for me, ok?

Wendy
Thank you kindly, Merv. You're right. Practice practice practice. AND steady hands until I get a tripod. :)
Tom, don't go trading that awesome camera of yours now. I'd give anything to have one like it - seriously. It took me ages to figure this one out, and it's a super simple one. I know...
Of course I had to fiddle with the camera some more just now. Out of God-only-knows-how-many-pictures I took, these are the only ones that turned out somewhat.
Is there any improvement? :-[

Holy Cowboy those are some fantastic pictures of some GORGEOUS zoos and corals. Someone please wipe the drool off my face. Talk about detail. WOW! ;D

Thank you for the tips, Merv and Pnoyreefer. I do need a tripod BADLY because I'm trying so hard not to shake, that I always end up shaking. ::) Ok, hold on, I need to look up what "perpendicular" means.

LOL. Candi, you didn't miss anything. Tom's known for a while that my ambition was to eventually upgrade to a bigger tank, but first I want to make sure I succeed with this setup. And the upgrade won't happen Christmas 2007, but next year. You'd better sit down for this one:
I won't sell this...
Thank you both so much.
Tom, it's no longer a secret, I let the cat out of the bag and told Alex about my plans for next Christmas. He's all for it! ;D Let's just hope I continue to succeed because I'm so afraid of something going terribly wrong all of a sudden.
It really is disturbing how...
WOW, that's awesome, Candi! You've got to be SO excited! I'd be more than happy to help you with the canopy - it's a piece of cake. ;D
You know, I have honestly neglected my household because I can't tear myself away from the tank for too long. :-[ It goes something like this: Wash 2 dishes, go...
