@mch1984 she will always struggle with that. Please watch for signs of confusion or forgetfulness. She may need help getting past this. I have been where she is now.

Margaritas and tacos because its Thursday? Because that happens... often. I got the romance covered, I just dont do cliche holidays. We got take out Chinese and watched Netflix for Valentine's day. No cards, no flowers... ask her about the random letters that appear in her truck, or some of the other things I do here and there...

My wife would probably tell you I'm the most unromantic man out there and she's probably right. Lucky for me, I think she knows i care but I don't do letter or notes, she's only gotten flowers once or twice, I do things for her but maybe not in the conventional way. We both have high demand careers, so I do it the form of making sure dinner is cooked when she has to work 16 hour shifts.

I will thanks for the advice, they are offering counseling to the officers and dispatchers and I am pushing hard for her to do it. I have to push in the right way, like me if you try to force it she will buck it just because.

@Lowell Lemon, that is an awesome sump and ATO. Excellent job!

I was fine for about 10 days. Then I couldn't remember how to get home. I had no idea what was wrong with me or that it was related to my incident. There are still things I won't talk about at all.

@mch1984 Thank you for sharing. Ironically, mine occurred on 3-12-04.

well for starters, change the pot its in, its not supposed to be closed, it needs holes. The holes will allow the roots to exit and give it room to grow. Heres everthing youll need:

Food: https://www.homedepot.com/p/Miracle-Gro-Orchid-8-oz-Ready-To-Use-Plant-Food-Mist-100195/204687669
Pot: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XSH8RW...&pd_rd_r=72c7b250-4269-11e9-8091-53ebfc68b3ce

Also, orchids are like children, they do get sick, they also are like leather corals in the sense they do what they want. Theyll bloom whenever they feel necessary.

You must also only water it by mist towards the roots, hence the slotted pot, making sure there is condensation in the pot as well as keeping the wax look on the roots. if it looks dry, touch it.

Thank you!

The hippie kid and I might be getting some lumber today! Woot!

 

[crusso1993]

@crusso1993 my orchids loved a shelf beside of the shower. I did have a window in that bathroom for natural light though.

Thank you!

 

[crusso1993]

Cubes and peninsula tanks are where it's at!

If you want to know where it's at, go to 1:00 into the song...

 

[crusso1993]

great song and great group.

Agreed. Jack is simply a very talented man.

What i want to know is how does hippie kid sit like that. I always sit criss cross applesauce, but not like that. Teach me HIPPIE KID!!

I think you have to master “ZEN” to sit like that and like every good hippie he’s got it covered! My kness are broken from the visual alone.

Those pics made me smile!
Well done @Lowell Lemon well done!

Did I ever mention I like your screen name and avitar!

Good morning ! @Katrina71 , I have seen some people use “flex seal” for the inside of their stands, looks nice and helps keep spills contained a bit. As far as the outside of the stand , think about a marine grade polyurethane. They are a little pricey , but last for years and stand up to salt creep better than your standard enamels.

glad you enjoy it, Was sick as a dog when I chose it, mocking myself of course and It stuck.
