Hey-Hey-hey----I'm baaaaaack............

[up north hermit]

Howdy fellow reefers! I have been away for quite awhile, got my nose bent out of shape (it actually looks much better now...... ).
Funny I can't remember what it was all about now..............
Health issues took over my life as some of you know, and got worse in the spring of last year. But they finally found the problem and I've been feeling grrrrrrreat the last several months, even back to snowshoeing and all the sports I love.
It so comforting to see the same friends on the board. I've been lurking for some time now, trying to get the courage to post!
Still reefin' I am. Lots of stuff to share but I'd feel like a grandma with pictures of the grandkids!
Warmest regards to everyone,
Up North Hermit

Were you here before or something??? just kidding, it has been a year and two months since your last post..... Good to see folks come back after such a LOOOOOOOONG break. I hope your health issues are over completely...nice to see you back. The board has changed alot since you have been gone, we have lots of new members since then, , and we now have a small fee which you can send directly to me at griddog@rippinyaoff.com welcome back.

Great to be here.........

Hi Up North Hermit! I haven't been posting here long enough to have met up previously, but welcome back! I'm always glad to have knowledgeable folks on board! All the more for me to learn from!
Glad your health issues are behind you now. I hope they stay that way for good!
You got your nose bent out of shape over something? That NEVER happens on the BB!

So glad to see you back, Barbie!! I really missed you! Hope to see you visiting us frequently and, if you got any tank pics, I'd love to see them! I remember us talking a lot awhile back about setting up a reef.
Good to see you're well and back, girlfriend!

Another "Welcome Back!"...I remember seeing posts from you back when I was learning how to mix salt...unlike Beth nothing personal...but good to see a old member return.

 

[up north hermit]

NM reef, ah yes, and "old" member indeed If I remember right, I was THE oldest member (in years). Yep, I started in saltwater tanks when we didn't have to mix salt, we carried it in buckets up from the ocean!
Thank you Beth! I have missed you sister!
You are all so kind, I am looking forward to being around and spewing forth my knowledge Thanks to everyone!
