Gee whiz, I think you may be right! Until you said, I thought the Pro Bowl was tomorrow. In some ways I can see having the players not in the super bowl play but then we miss some really good players...but no team is going to allow players to risk injury before the "big game" even if it's just...

We had salad & soon, nachos. I don't really count those as cooking much. Shhh, my husband does ;)

I'm used to a big PC screen. I have adapted to a smaller laptop screen but not too well, the smaller keyboard makes typing iffy. I now have both a tablet & phone but I don't use them here or for email. My fingernails often tend to hit wrong keys, although I try to keep them short. Phone typing...

I'm glad most of your fish survived well & you too, of course. Ice storms are worse than heavy snowfall IME. Thank goodness you have a generator!! Are you apt to be hit by the next round of storms? Geez, before many places have started to recover. Maybe a blanket or towels over your small...

We had mashed potato soup with extra carrot & TJ's spanikopita.

I've spent many years try to pick out stray royal blue gravel bits. A rookie mistake from our 1st tanks. I prefer tan/brown or black substrate but have whitish/ pale tan pool sand in 2 tanks. If I ever feel rich enough, I'd go with Carib Sea Peace River. Very small & rounded gravel in many...

How did your tanks survive 5 days of no power? I know you have some big tanks but also some special fish. I hope they all did ok. I'm guessing your plants were safe? Internet, well, we missed you ;) but you & we can live safely for 5 days, lol.

Congrats! What will you feed such tiny fry?

Meat cakes again here with broccoli & peas. Mashed potatoes of course, with enough leftover for soup tomorrow. I agree, the cheeseburger drenched in cheese sauce doesn't look tasty just messy. I've only had Chic-Fil-A in an airport twice. On my way to flight connection, too far to other...

Welcome to our forum! Some plants are happy with hard water like many places in the UK, as are some fish. It's much easier to keep fish & plants that fit your water parameters than to try to make them happy in the "wrong" water for them. Java ferns (many types) & most vallisneria will probably...

A zap in the microwave can often fix dried out tortillas. Covered to steam a bit, not too long. You can also just stack the tortillas over quesadilla "guts" & zap, not folded but the same thing. We're going with indoor burgers again. I'm doing green olives, onion, lettuce & mayo...after hockey...

I was going to say Fantasia, but I did see Up, & a few others. I liked; Monsters Inc, Wall-E, Antz or the other bug movie. We never had kids so there's a gap in my awareness. Pixar raised the bar for animation detail IMO.

I'm a loach nut & also like catfish & plants for my favorites. I don't do biotopes for fish vs plants that need extreme (for me) conditions. No co2, not futzing around with water parameters; root tabs are as far as I go for plants. I belong to a plant club but I've probably killed as many as I...

How big would you guess they are now? I think you feed your fish so well they don't need to bother hunting fry

Aren't "long fin" angels also called veil tailed? I can't keep up with all the variations. I don't mind some of the "colors" like black or koi but I'm not a fan of scale deformities or veiltails...but that's just my personal limits. I still like the wild coloration & fins best.
