oh i know what you mean. that's the best way for everything.

Hey Jason,
I was finally able to run that seahorse video. I didn't listen to it at all because I'm at work, and, well...you know. It's really cool!! If you click the pause button when it stops, it continues to buffer. Click on play to watch more till it stops again and keep doing that. It's really a cool video!!

Morning Lisa,
That's great. I was so disappointed when I saw that it was messed up because I remember how great of a video it was. I want to do that or something like it for my clowns and have it be a nice small space. I have a mated pair that try to be mom and dad but don't quite know how. Anyhow, i'll be sure and try that. I just love how they go hunting for their pods in it. Cute little things. Alright, well have a nice day at work!

You know I say that without knowing what it is that you do. With that said, what do you do? lol. I haven't worked in months. I must say it's been nice although I do kind of miss my job. I just don't miss the politics and bs that goes on. But hey, that's almost everywhere.
I'll be on the lookout for the video. I can't wait.

I'm the Health Information Management Coordinator for a county hospital, but I've also taken on the role of Information Technology Help Desk and various other roles...like I said, it keeps me on my toes. I need a vacation...
And...correcto...that politics crap goes on everywhere...just something ya gotta learn to deal with.
What kind of work do you do?
Video is posted, post #230. You'll probably have to pause again while it buffers...let me know what you think!!

Hahaha, "I'm not feeding you again" Greedy little buggers aren't they? Very nice. I'm completely jealous of your xenia! I want some soooo bad, but my place here doesn't ever get them in, and the next closets places to Rockford with saltwater stuff are both an hour away. Frustrating. I just can't bring myself to have it shipped. I've heard so many horror stories about shipping. Between that and sun polyps which I never see either those are my two most sought after pieces. Oh well. Like I said, wonderful video and setup and I'm jealous, i'll have to get something on here of the tank, I suppose. I ramble. okbye!

Hey...HI!!
Yeah, she's doing great. She's eating really good, getting right in there with the "big fish". I've been feeding garlic laced foods, and everybody just seems to go nuts over it. I think that Sr. Mary is also getting a bit more color to her, more yellow. She's still seems a little twitchy, but she's beginning to recognize me as the "giver of the food" and is less a little less psyched with me standing by the tank. I also did some maintenance tonight...filters and skimmer...and that didn't seem to phase her at all. I really like her, and will really love her when she's fully acclimated...great choice, I think.

Wow. Sounds like a tough job and like you're a busy busy woman! LOL@needing a vacation, Miss I just had a scuba trip I need a vacation and I don't even have a job, well not a work type job. I was in retail management for a couple years at one of the Gamestop's out here, but, my boss was a dinosaur and a royal...jerk...ha. I let him off easily saying that. Anyway, I had enough and It just so happened my wife had our baby girl, so when she went back to her job, I left mine and that was back in September. SO I'm a stay at home daddy until I get my Law Enforcement job. I've been applying at the Rockford Police Department and just reapplied so i'll be testing again shortly and hopefully the second time will be a charm. *crosses fingers* First time I passed everything, just was among the young and less qualified I guess.

They sure are...everytime I even look at the tank, it seems that my fish feel like they need to get fed!! I have to admit that it took some doing for me not to give them something...they're just SO cute!!
Oh man, my xenias...where do I begin. When I bought them I LOVED them, but they do so well in my tank that they migrate like crazy, and to places I don't want them to be. I've already sent 4 small frags to the lfs, and I have at least 5 more that can go, if I can get them to migrate onto the rocks I want them on. They are pretty cool though. I'll see what it would take to ship some to you. Lord knows I have xenias to spare.
