That’s really sad. I’m a nurse and have been seeing some really heartbreaking things. My mother got sick this week, she is currently in isolation waiting on test results for covid she has systemic lupus and had had cancer 6 times now so I really worry about her. I hope everything in this world takes a turn for the better soon ❤

I’m so sorry. I can’t imagine having to go through what you do on a daily basis and then have your mom get sick. Thank you for putting your own health on the line to try and help others. Prayers to you and your mom

Thank you. I appreciate it. And of course, it’s what I chose to do and can’t see myself doing anything else. I hope everyone out there stays safe and this all passes soon I appreciate the kind words and thoughts.

@ghartman1234, welcome to the community. Don’t sweat the small stuff and just give it time. I’m sure you’ll find this to be one of the better forums out there. Didn’t mean to call you out earlier, but there is so many more important things in life than just an online forum.

I asked a dipping question a couple days ago on the algae section and never got help. I'll give it another day then bump it. Not everyone views every post every day. I'm not about to be rude over it. This community rocks and has helped us a ton, more than the snark and snide comments on the local forums.

Yes, I can imagine. Buddy of mine is an ER doc and I’m really worried for him also. You ALL are my heroes .....

Aw thank you, deff helps keep morale up. Sometimes it’s all enough to break you down. Hope you’re friend stays safe

But few were actually helpful and actually helped me solve the situation. A few were pleasant yes but not what I was looking for. attempts at bumping but not entirely sure how that goes.

To bump your own thread, just respond to your own thread and type "bump." It moves the message back up to the top. Best to do this in the evenings in the US when it seems more people are online after work.

It is a testament to the quality and excellence of this community to see these positive and welcoming responses, very few negative which I was expecting given the thread title. Well done peeps.

 

[Tahoe61]

Wait, what!!!! I thought it was just me.

R2R is an excellent resource. It's not a popularity contest. Relaxe, find your own style and they will come.

“You all suck! NOW SHOW ME ATTENTION!!!”

(Did it works? Will I get attention now?)

(crickets)

(oh well... back to Grown up reality now)

These Duncan’s are looking at me like I’m crazy. I’m beginning to think they are right.

 

[NS Mike D]

Unfortunately you’re probly right lol

While this is true of most of the internet, add a line that quarantining is unnecessary in your post and I assure you, you will get more hits than any pretty avatar.



plus we'd not have the benefit of oops posts like this play out:

Lol an adult man taking it way too personal and getting upset over nothing.

 

[Tahoe61]

Lesson 1: Avoid click bait when creating threads.

2: Acknowledge those that responded to your thread or post.

3. Be open to being wrong.

4. Speak to what you know.

Again relax, read threads, do searches and add info as appropriate.

I am upset with @ghartman1234


The ice cube on my shoulder was an expression of friendship and welcome - a level of sarcasm I would never waste on people I don't care about. And yet not one smilie from you?


welcome and keep posting questions, there are some great folks here

i apologize i didn’t know what it meant.

 

[ghartman1234]

Do this my friend, sit in front of your reef tank, breathe, and say “ I love R2R several times.

We love you as a fellow member, please remember that!

might have to try this lol
