Spongie's Frags

[EvilMel]

Seth, I'm fine if you don't throw anything into the raffle this year. You've done a lot for the club over the years and it's cool with me for you to "sit this one out" as far as donations goes.

I have several things to say about prioritizing your time.
If you believe in a deity (another time)…

1. Your family is number one – wife first and then kids, others after. Why wife first? Your kids need two parents living together.
2. Your work – Most of us need a job to take care of number 1 (wife and kids). If a job takes so much time that you have no family time, then, in my opinion it is not the job for a person with a family. I worked shift work when my kids were little (8 years). I hated every minute of it. I knew why then, but I know why more - now. If you work shift work and your kids are still living at home, make a special, extra special effort to spend special time with them.
   Do not forget that the spouse is first in the family thing when thinking about spending special time.
3. Your hobby should come after some more of the things – not sure what they all might be, I have an opinion about most. Ha! HA!!!

You have been missed. All the folks that have missed meetings or appearances on the forums have been missed. For some, it has been work, new kids, school, and some reason I probably do not know about.

You are certainly welcome at the swap. I wish you had been able to take more advantage of those dues that you paid. I am also sorry for all your livestock losses.

That should be enough of an old man’s rambling -- For now anyway. Old man for sure – 10 years ago I would never have typed all that and pasted it in a public forum.

Sage advice Eddie. Not sure what you meant about a deity though. I don't mind paying dues, as I like to at least contribute monetarily if I can't contribute otherwise. I think I am over the livestock losses now (minus a slight sting when I think about those pretty corals). Trying to replenish my tanks diversity now. The swap should be as good a place as any. If I can pick up a few sales to put towards my tanks awesome, if not then I will still have had a great time mingling with fellow reefers.

Seth, I hate to hear you lost livestock...I'm going to frag the BGM (Mummy Eye) what ever it is in the next few months. It's morphed a bit. You've got a frag reserved.

 

[Spongie]

Awesome, thanks Rob. Yeah the second crash happened like 2-3 weeks after I dropped off all those goodies with you and AM. I thought I was going to lose the RWM, but it managed to pull though and is just now starting to produce a couple more eyes. I did lose all of my sand dollar Monti. Did that frag I gave you ever take off?

 

[Rob.D]

Sure did come by and get it anytime it's just sitting in the sand bed....it hated my MH's.

 

[Spongie]

Gorgonian is now pending.

 

[Spongie]

I'll call you tomorrow Rob.
