Seth, I'm fine if you don't throw anything into the raffle this year. You've done a lot for the club over the years and it's cool with me for you to "sit this one out" as far as donations goes.

I have several things to say about prioritizing your time.
If you believe in a deity (another time)…
You are certainly welcome at the swap. I wish you had been able to take more advantage of those dues that you paid. I am also sorry for all your livestock losses.
That should be enough of an old man’s rambling -- For now anyway. Old man for sure – 10 years ago I would never have typed all that and pasted it in a public forum.
If you believe in a deity (another time)…
- Your family is number one – wife first and then kids, others after. Why wife first? Your kids need two parents living together.
- Your work – Most of us need a job to take care of number 1 (wife and kids). If a job takes so much time that you have no family time, then, in my opinion it is not the job for a person with a family. I worked shift work when my kids were little (8 years). I hated every minute of it. I knew why then, but I know why more - now. If you work shift work and your kids are still living at home, make a special, extra special effort to spend special time with them.
Do not forget that the spouse is first in the family thing when thinking about spending special time. - Your hobby should come after some more of the things – not sure what they all might be, I have an opinion about most. Ha! HA!!!

Sage advice Eddie. Not sure what you meant about a deity though. I don't mind paying dues, as I like to at least contribute monetarily if I can't contribute otherwise. I think I am over the livestock losses now (minus a slight sting when I think about those pretty corals). Trying to replenish my tanks diversity now. The swap should be as good a place as any. If I can pick up a few sales to put towards my tanks awesome, if not then I will still have had a great time mingling with fellow reefers.

Awesome, thanks Rob. Yeah the second crash happened like 2-3 weeks after I dropped off all those goodies with you and AM. I thought I was going to lose the RWM, but it managed to pull though and is just now starting to produce a couple more eyes. I did lose all of my sand dollar Monti. Did that frag I gave you ever take off?
