There was a little complication with my knee surgery that the nurse filmed for me.

I have to say I have a great wife. Last night she threw me a fantastic surprise birthday party at a hard cider mill here. She had about 40 of our closest friends and it was a blast. Well, as blasty as it can get for Geezers. Some of these people we know from high school. I was totally...

The Grand Kids are all excited for Christmas and kind of noisy which is driving me crazy so I decided to take them for a little walk by the sea. In their Pajamas

So I finished my Pre Surgery check up yesterday for the Knee I am getting for my birthday on Christmas and they asked me if I had any loose teeth. I said no. Just now I was brushing my teeth, and my front tooth fell out. You know you are old when parts start falling off of you. :eek: (it was...

Diana, Thats disgusting. Those snails need an internist. :eek:

Diana, for some reason I don't get snail and fish poop building up. I keep my fish constipated so I don't get that problem. :rolleyes:

I see a lot of Noob Threads asking to comment on their aquascape. That is a good idea but the scape is your preference. But I see in most of them too much rock, especially with flat surfaces sitting on the bottom. I know this is the easiest way to stack rock and it probably looks nicer, but...

Who the Heck is Dr Tim? Is he like Dr Korvorkian?

Your other fish have immunity and if you fed them the correct foods your tangs would also get immune. But first they have to contract ich. Quarantining causes fish to lose immunity which is the reason for all the disease forums. Of course 99.973% of the people here would disagree with me, but...

I am going to try to collect some water before this surgery but I am not sure I can find the time. My elevator is going in next week, my wife has a bunch of doctors appointments and I want to exfoliate. :eek: I collect right near here but am very busy. I only changed some water once and my...

Yesterday my good friend gave me 2 dragon faced pipefish. (OK, my very Best friend, He reads this thread and I don't want to dent his feelings) I have had them before and really love them because they look kind of like me. (Hello Andy) But they are much bigger than any dragon pipefish that I...

That is my very cool surface skimmer. The pump feeds water to my skimmer. I no longer use it but I need to build another one. I don't like those silly comb things people use for surface skimmers because my pipefish would go in there and they don't skim well. This thing just skimmer the very...

It is quite common but many people don't see it because their fish never spawn. Pipefish like all fish should be constantly pregnant. Pipefish and seahorses don't quite have this reproducing thing down pat yet as many of their offspring have issues like conjoined twins that don't live very long.

Vermont was fun but cold. They have a huge fireplace there and unlimited wood. The only thing in the tiny town is a fair held in the school, I think everyone in the area from miles around goes there because it is the only thing that ever happens there. I don't think I could ever get used to...

Diana, Dragon faced pipefish need way more pods or new born shrimp them a mandarin and are not easy to keep fed long term. My tank now, after my move is loaded with pods for some reason and dragonfaces hunt all over the bottom unless they see baby shrimp in the water, then they will eat them...

I am very happy to say that the Magic Juice that I kind of invented for my wife is still working much better than medication and has no side effects. With MS she used to have terrible pains all over mostly at night. Those pains come from inflammation and the juice which is mostly made from...

Here is me speaking at that Veterans talk. The guy in the foreground, Phil Keith, wrote the book about Fire Support Base Illingworth. The battle I was in and why they asked me to speak. He was in the Air Force and was shot down and had a bullet go right through his chest. He received a Silver...

If you want to give them a variety, (that they don't need by the way). You can use clams, oysters, mussels and fish eggs.

This week I added a purple dottyback, Coral croucher gobi, queen anthius, yellow wrasse and female mandarin. I only want one more fish, a dragon faced pipefish then my tank will be at capacity. It's actually over capacity now but almost all my fish are very small and that yellow wrasse will...
