My wife is amazing...
I have an amazing wife. We all say stuff like that, but my wife continuously outdoes herself & I have to brag about what she did for me yesterday. Last night, I was called to work todays day shift on O/T. Fine, comes with the job. Only problem was that I had planned on meeting up with two other Canreef members (at two seperate locations), to buy a massive load of frags, colonies, inverts & an brute of an anemone. !@#$% I'm gonna have to cancel! One guy is coming all the way from Gibson's (with the majority of the critters) & who knows when I'm gonna have a chance to meet up again. What a complete bummer.
"I'll do it for you" she says with a smile. "Pardon?" I say, I'm sure I must be hallucinating. "I'll pick them up for you. Just write down everything & I'll do it". Now to help put this in perspective, this woman will be getting up @ 05:30am to greet the first of her daycare kids (we run a licensed daycare from our home), then waking, dressing, feeding & generally corraling our three kids & international student to school as well as several daycare drop-off's. She then is going (with our three year old) to several appointments & THEN plans to go & pick up all my goodies for me . I've been a Paramedic for sixteen years, worked the skids/downtown eastside, I train & yell at Millitary Med Tech students on their way to Afghanistan & I couldn't do her job in a million years. So after she picks me up off the floor and gives me a "what's the big deal?" kind of look, I then mention the fact she is going to have to actually come in physical contact with all this stuff, including a massive anemone that will do it's very best to gross her out & perhaps actually eat her (let's just say that up till now, she has been down-right "girly" about any slimey critter that we've come across, i.e.;"Get that thing away from me or your sleeping outside", & I'm talking at the supermarket, nevermind anything oceanside). This Lady had yet to stick a pinky in one of my tanks to date so needless to say, I was surprized at the offer. So what have you done for your spouse lately?

And is that a picture of her in your avatar movie??
Also I have to say, after hearing your description, I gotta see a picture of this anemone now!! Does it compare to this?

The nicest thing about your story, Sushiman, is that she volunteered... you didn't even have to ask her!
I can feel the love all the way over here!

Yesterday we had a power failure. My wife took blankets and wrapped the tanks to keep down the heat loss.

My wife Irene is 5 1/2 months pregnant & she just volunteerred to take a week off work to go to Powell River to take care of my friend Dean's 2 little daughters, 2 dogs, and assorted animals so Dean can come here to help me with some house renos we want/need to get done before the baby arrives. Did I mention she's 5 1/2 months PREGNANT!!! Yeah, sometimes women, especially are spouses are amazing.
