I think it is official.....advice for married newbies
OK......I think it is official.....I have become a true reef addict !!!
Tips for married newbies........
1. When painting back of new tank.....stay clear of wifes new car
2. When asking wife what to use to clean paint off of new car don't ask her to hurry cause the paint on the tank is getting "tacky" 
3. While she is saying "what the He$# were you thinking painting that stupid thing so close to MY CAR !?!?!" don't ask her to hurry cause the paint on the tank is getting "tacky"
4. This is the big one!!!.......Don't under any circumstance tell her while she is cleaning said paint off HER new car....."Honey, I guess this is not a good time to tell you that I bought the new 90 and stand instead of making the first payment on YOUR new car"
5. Keep first aid kit handy at all times.......

Dave, your sig line was one of the first things my wife picked up on.
Craig, wait til she's "xpectn" (actually it's pretty cool, for Father's Day, I asked for a whiz-bang EuroReef protein skimmer! It's almost like an extra birthday!!!)!

HMMMM, I really have no idea what to tell you. I would say gold, flowers, and a nice night on the town. This may get you a few days of sleep .

On th eother hand it sounds like she has a nice new car, reliable ride to work is good IF you are like typical reefer your older car will make it to LFS and back but not much farther. Welcome to the addiction

Make it all better...take it to a body shop and have them wipe it off with a mild solvent...then wash it, wax it, get it a nice smelly new air freshner, fill it with flowers and take her to dinner. |

perhaps he was trying to illustrate the cliche "Throw in the towel" the green color of the towel symbolizing the green color of money...the white binder is symbolic of the wide empty void and the three ring binder is symbolic of the injustice of it all....i dunno....the mercury mystique must be in retrograde this morning...

just as she was starting to get into this too......
I will go with all the above suggestions, Jay can you give me any advice on techinique ?......Not sure where the tip would be on human
In answer to why so close ?.....I was not really close, just stupid as walking by....drip, drip, drip.......
We have 2 kids of our own, 3 foster kids, and I think a few more that live here (but I am not sure on that one) so she has become pretty mellow from our younger years........
Thought you all would get a kick out of that one........Glad it is almost friday !!!!

Actually, I think it may have had something to do with Doug's post count
