Bill

Mike for what it is worth, you are an a$$.

This is so not my style however, on Thursday evening my father passed away. :cry: They are done in California and today I found out that my mother is in the hospital as she has suffered a minor heart attack from all the stress.

So Mike perhaps if you have nothing nice to say do not say anything.

Well Im sorry to hear that Leah How was I to know that.:redface:

Wow that is really crappy to hear after Talking to him there in your living room ,we got along so good too. pretty cool dude too\

really sorry to hear Leah

So sorry Leah....you already know this but, My thoughts are with you...:sad:

Thanks Doug,

:biggrin: I do know...and thanks for being there to cry on. :redface:

:smile: Been a crazy, zany, interesting week around here...one I will not soon forget, although I must say it would be nice. :sad:

Hay Leah I was going to say some thing earlier but decided that up to you to decide, I say good for you Girl you give them Hell and I mean it!!!.

I hope your mom gets well fast and then comes home and rests for awhile and you can take care of her now. My parents call it payback time. LOL...
If you need to talk or anything give me a call.

Bill

Bill,

You have already done so much for me. :redface: You are saint, I know that we shall be friends for a very long time. And the wonderful support you have given already, to not only myself, but to others as well. :mrgreen: You are what good friends are made of. And thank-you for the incredible offer, to come back help me out, very sweet.

Thank-you, for the positive encouragement and best wishes for my mom.
So hard that she is so far away at this time, and I can not really do anything to help her deal with what must be the most devastating time in her life. :cry: Our family has/is going through a devastating loss. Time will never erase what he has done for all his girls, my mom, my daughter and myself. And I never even got to say good-bye or to say how much, he is still needed. Payback is it exactly. :wink:

So sorry Leah. I hope your Mom is okay and home with you in no time! Please call me again anytime you need to talk okay. Hang in there.

Thanks Carmen,

:biggrin: Not sure what I would do with out both you and Doug. You guy's are the best. :wink: You know I will be calling you soon girl. :wink:

Hi Leah, You do get to say good by every time you think of him and in how you remember him this is how people honer the fallen with the good they have done. I can tell that you love your dad very much and you must keep him close to your heart this helps.. The payback is that you get to help look after your mom this will also help the both of you heal in the grieving process. As you sit and talk about random things over the coming years. Believe me my mom and I do this from time to time about my brother that passed in 97 and about my dad that has all-timers, it's good to remember the good times.

By the way you have many Friends on here that you can spill your guts out to in many ways. You are a very caring and carrying person your self and I know you would do what ever you could for others also.

As for why I am the way I am it's in my Genes I can't explain why I do what i do for others I just have to do it. I really don't care what it costs me to do it at the time I just have to I am compelled to do it. If you needed me to give you a hand and cry on my shoulder I would show up.. I will call again and see how you are doing in any case.

Remeber to think of all the good thing he has brought to your life and that he has lived a long and full life now is the time to help your mom pull through and get back on track with her life.


Bill

OMG, Leah, I am soo sorry. My deepest sympathy's

I mean WE, Reena sends her love too.

I'm so very sorry to hear this Leah. My deepest sympathies.

I'm so sorry to hear this too. :( Stay strong, we are all thinking of you.

I would just like to say a huge thank-you to each of you separately, but it will be easier for me to here. I have received everyones PM's to, and thank-you for all the kindness and offers to help if and when it is needed. If I have not sent one back yet, :redface: I am sorry, I hope to very soon. It is sooo greatly appreciated. So hard to express how truly grateful I am to the very special friendships that have come from many Canreefer's. :wink: Pretty sure you all
know, I think you guy's are amazing and have helped make this so much easier already.

Dan, please tell Reena, thank-you! She is to good for you. :wink:

Jeff, OMG! I think I did it. :lol: You would laugh if you could see the huge mess I have. And have still not touched since Saturday. :redface:

Thought I should update you guy's about the tank. :biggrin: We managed to get it filled and have moved everyone back in. It is not beautiful by any means, at this point.:twised: I just started to panic and wanted to get everyone back in as quickly as possible. I can not believe that it went so well, I did not lose anyone. Pretty much a miracle, as while trying to do all this, I spent basically the day back and forth on the phone as well. Pretty sure that someone was watching out for me. :biggrin:

My cousin came out to be with me for a few day's, and I am pretty sure he had no idea, that I would quickly put him to work on this. :lol: He is probably thinking of what excuse he can find to get out of here. :wink:

I will get pictures up today, but be warned it is not pretty.:redface: So not for the faint of heart. Hope to get the mess cleaned up and dive back in today and arrange the rock. And of course the first bucket I emptied back in had all the small rock in it. So then I ran out of room and all the larger stuff had to go on top. Opps!!! :twised: What a plan I had. :redface:

Sounds like it went pretty well then? Isn't it funny, how once you start, all of a sudden... Where did the time go LOL. I lost days building my tank :D

I have been trying to make it look better. :twised: But geez! I have a crap load of rock, I don't understand, it is just the rock from the 72. And for some reason I think it has doubled or something. :surprise: Trying to make it look good but it is just not working, I guess it will eventually right. :neutral:

I have lost day's, all right. And a few nights. :wink:

I was just saying to you last week that I loved the Canreef community.....lots of great peeps here for sure.....

There's gonna be nothing left for me to help you with Girly.....:wink:

Ya Aquascaping. I STILL havn't goten my tank where I like it... Another teardown when I get home. I don;t know, are we ever really satisfied? And ya, the rock can look like alot sometimes, then , it can just disappear. I have over 200Lbs now in my 150, where did it all go???

Doug,

Do you honestly think that is possible? :lol: :wink:

Work on it for abit then take some time away from it Leah. I find it best to do it over a few days that way you don't get too frustrated and you may come up with a "plan" for placement of certain rocks as you ponder it between aquascaping sessions! I had the same problem when I transferred...all of a sudden it looks like the rock doubled in quantity! :wink:

Wow! So...you are making a trip to Penticton Doug?

Lots of support here for sure Leah! Something I find that non-canreefers have a hard time understanding.

Well Leah wate till yu get ride of the 25g and add that rock. LOL I wouldlie to be able to help more only if you were in the same town. You are so easy go and a very nice person, any way you have to also come up with that sump plan. Then egtthat up and running you willnot go back, it dose take some of the work out of it all like topping off the tank. you get an ATO for that and a bucket that fits in the cabinet that is also anouthe reason why I think a 40g sump would be good size that leaves you will room for other stuff. I have a JBJ ATO witha onamental water feature pump pluged into it.

Bill

Leah are you going to run both deltec skimmers on this tank ,did you take down the 95 curve or just the 72 gal what about the others that you have the QT tank are you going to still run that ?

Well I had the pleasure of going to visit Leah's new tank yesterday and it's really looking great!

Thank you Leah for letting me enjoy all your tanks with you and for the rock. I will make sure you get the invite when my new tank is finally up.

Hey Mark,

So nice to see you again. Seems like are visits just fly by...never long enough. :biggrin:
Hope the rock works out for your new tank. So excited to see it. :mrgreen:
Thanks for all the tips and tricks. Next time you get down, it will be amazing. :wink:

Time for an update...left the tank for a week, as my Solar had a bit of a scrape on his face so decided that I shouldn't add to the stress for a while. But for the last two day's have been busy rearranging rock and adding a sand bed. Decided to not reuse my old sand as it had a Cyano out break, due to a rather extra large dose of Phyto Plankton...opps! :redface:

It will be so nice to get the sump going, so that I can get rid of all the junk in the tank. Will be working on that this week...so excited. :biggrin:

Have a large fish order planned as well. Ordered from Kelly at The Reef Shoppe.... thanks Kelly for putting up with me, while I made up my mind on what to order finally. :biggrin:
As always Kelly is awesome to deal with. :mrgreen: But will save what I ordered... for a surprise later on. :wink:

For everyone who has been nagging me about pictures...will get them up in the next day or two, as it has been a little crazy around here....you guy's and gals...know how you are. :lol: :wink:

:lol: :redface:

Doug,

I highly doubt that :lol:...and thank-you for being you...and making me laugh... when... I sometimes felt like crying. :wink: :biggrin:

aw......your makin me feel all warm and fuzzy:redface::wink: *or maybe it was the heated massager I just had on my kinky neck?:razz:*

Kinky neck? :neutral:

Doug, .... you're kind of scaring me man. :lol:

what!.....you've never woken up with a kink in your neck???:razz::lol:

Doug...

"warm and fuzzy" makes me wonder if the hair dresser isn't there??? :wink:

OHHHH ... is that another word for tattoo? I'm so un-hip. :redface: I use urbandictionary.com so I can pretend to be hip sometimes, but I fear it's been letting me down lately.

Anyhow.. um ... nnnno. Don't think I've ever woken up to find a kink on my neck as yet. I suspect I haven't been drinking enough lately for that sort of thing. I was thinking of getting maybe a sea turtle kink when I was on vacation a couple weeks ago but I wasn't sure if that was manly enough.
