    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    Paulie, Kate Smith died in 1986 but she recorded "God Bless America in the 40s. It was written in the 20s. The song is also before my time, but I know it well.

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    WE had a "little" scare yesterday and this morning. Yesterday my wife and I took a walk and about 5 minutes into the walk I started to get itchy. Like all over. I felt like I had fire ants doing the macarana all over me and also in places I didn't know I had. :oops: Of course we walk up to...

    Kate Smith just before we got into WW2 singing the first ever airing of God Bless America. I listen to this all the time and if this doesn't give you chills, you must be some kind of Snowflake or you are not Patriotic enough. Kate Smith was the most well known singer in the world at the time...

    It could be but just today I helped my wife put a new blanket on the bed and it came in a plastic thing like that with a zipper.

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    Today we are working on writing our friends Eulogy. We know each other so long and did so many things together and Tommy was so funny that we don't know where to start. To many memories.

    Thanks Paulie. He will be buried here in Military cemetery in a week or two but we will have to wait an undisclosed amount of time for him to receive his Police force memorial and his Military cerimony.

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    Our friend Sue called us and we were so excited because she didn't call anyone since Tommy died. After the initial hysterical crying we finally got her to start laughing as we recalled so many funny memories from the fifty years we have been friends. So many things occurred and many of them...

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    WE are still in a funk but getting back to fish. After I lost my copperband my tank is having a big aiptasia invasion. Those things don't normally bother me but lately a lot of things are bothering me so I wanted to take it out on something and all I have that I am not particularly fond of are...

    Diana, Thank you, I hope you and your beautiful family are well also. We are still in a funk over our best friend as everything I look at in my house he either helped me paint or hang. He was a great friend as is she and they are sorely missed. Our entire crowd, which is quite large are all...

    Paulie, I had no idea your son died. I am horribly saddened.

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    This is horrible. His wife, my closest "girl" friend is inconsolable and incoherent. We spoke to her but it is just to much. She is in a big house all by herself and no one, including her kids can go there to console her. Tommy is in the black hat next to me and his wife is opposite with the...

    I can't find any flatworms in my tank and a few months ago I had thousands. To get rid of them, I went out to dinner and had some Pino Noir. That was before this Pandemic of course. Flatworms, like most things in this hobby get bored and disappear on their own even though many people like to...

    Thanks Paulie. WE are being as careful as possible. We just had food delivered, they leave it outside and I paid in advance with a credit card. Then my wife washes everything. Aside from taking a bath in battery acid, there isn't any more we could do.

    On a brighter story, I noticed my last batch of Fireclown eggs hatched so with nothing else to do, I figured I would try to find some of them. I turned off all the powerheads, I have 5 of them. And I looked closely at the film on the surface of the water. After a while I saw one. A couple of...
