Hello all, I haven't been on the forums in a while, primarily because I left the hobby. Well, after realizing that I am too much of a work-a-holic / dad-a-holic, I have decided to do something fun for myself. As of 45 minutes ago, I ordered my Innovative Marine Nuvo 16g along with some sand and...

I submitted my letter of resignation today. I'm leaving Vacaville, CA and moving to Colorado Springs mid-January. It's gonna be awesome. Does anyone know the best way there? I'm going U-Haul style. I was on google maps and apparently taking the 80 freeway puts me through the mountains. I am...

Ahhh, I love to reminisce about the days when I used to be big into the hobby. I remember living in Southern California and having like 4 small tanks. I remember Tizzo's advice and Sepulatian before she went on to be a mod. Darth Tang was still borderline acceptable... and who can forget...

...and people give me the funniest looks. Almost like I'm a snob or something. Trust me, when you eliminate soda from your diet, you literally feel better and much less bloated. It's awesomesauce! (non carbonated, of course) Who drinks soda? If so, how much? More importantly, what can we do...

I work at a church. A large church. With a kitchen. That people use to make large amounts of food. It seems like every day I come to work without a lunch, there's nothing for me to eat in the church kitchen. It's a proverbial ghost town - no food anywhere. But seriously, when I come to work...

My daughter just turned 4 years old. Now before you all start firing at me (no pun intended), just hear me out. I think it's way better for young kids to understand and have a respectful fear of firearms (safe) instead of an overwhelming curiosity (very unsafe). Most firearm-related...

Trying to decide which vehicle to get? It needs to have 4wd and it needs to have three rows of seats (which both the Highlander and the Sienna have). Although I am married with two young kids, I'm still 28, which means that minivans are seriously un-cool... but I acknowledge the practicality...

I was just contacted by a potential employer in Colorado Springs, CO. I've never been there, but for some reason, the name rings a bell, like I've heard people discuss the city before. What's it like? Is housing cheap? What's the culture like?

I'm planning on applying for a job in San Antonio, TX. I have never been to Texas. I was born and raised in California... I've never lived in any other state my whole life. But I'm excited for the possibility of moving to Texas... I hear housing is cheaper and there are more Republicans. So...

My wife's grandmother is a lovely old woman. She's also very rich. She shops at all the best places. Places like Macy's. So for Christmas, she decided to go to Macy's and buy me some sweater vests. She also bought my wife some high-quality dark purple corduroy pants with a waist height at...

I heard an excellent quote the other day while listening to a speech by one of the former presidential candidates. He said: "...If you don't think Christmas day should be a holiday then you shouldn't take the day off." ...AMEN! Never thought of it that way before. Of all the religions that...

He DID say it in a roundabout way... but basically that's what reports are saying that he said. What are your thoughts? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rAhwTQ784IY

Look, I'm sure it's been a lot of fun these last few months in the Aquarium playing all by your lonesome, but most of us SWF buddies who've ascended to better things (i.e. Facebook) were talking about you today. Sep, SoCal, and a few others were in talks about how badly you need to join us on...

We've been expecting our lab to go to dog heaven for about 6 months now and have been passively searching for another dog to help ease the pain when he finally goes. We've looked in shelters, thought about adopting adults, we've heard of a few different friends with litters of different breeds...

and I love the new tank look too.   Took the two clowns and royal gramma out of my 20g from my house, along with most of the live rock and old water to finish off the job. I've had the tank in my office for about 3 months now with nothing but sand and water in it. Just moved it all over today...

My daughter is a great kid. She's going to be 3 years old in December. She gets the worst poops - they're rock hard and she struggles to get them out. Well tonight was probably the worst yet. She spent about 5 minutes pushing constantly. She even started to sweat! After about 5 minutes of...

I've been riding my bike to work the last two days and it really sucks. I have a 30-lb backpack on and a bike seat that feels like I'm riding a broom stick. I went and got a bigger seat last night but it's still awful. I may take a beach towel and duct tape it to the seat... or salvage parts...

I remember he used to be a staple on here... where'd he go?
