So I says to my girl-

Smart and adoring Lad that one, yes?

Reminds me of the line from Blind Side where the husband says "OK" and Sandra asks, "You mean OK we'll talk about it or OK we'll do it?" and the husband rolls his eyes and replies, "Is there a difference?"

All hail the/our indulgent Beloved.

Am I the only one who was suprised that Sam just quoted a Sandra Bullock movie (albeit a good one)?

Sandra's OK (actually she rocks)...

...the fact that it was a Disney thing is what you should nail me on for knowing.

 

[msjinkzd]

ha!

 

[minifoot77]

My husband just shakes his head and asks how many more stands he needs to build and if I will need another breaker box for that.

must be nice and i hope he still tells you not to be moving the racks with empty tanks on them.....

I this a reference to a past aquatic calamity or just casual discourse? The latter is personal but the former you're obliged to share.

 

[msjinkzd]

that was HIM, Caleb

He got upset, I just shrugged. Sometimes they break, lol

 

[bschuhart]

Just live in a house (apartment) with an extra room and stuff it to the max. That's what I did and it doesn't seem to be a problem. I also have an 110 show tank and put a 8g ppanted nano in the dining room a few weeks ago. My wife went with me to Rachel's place and she picked out the inverts and fish.

She does tell me I talk about fish all the time...but I see her sneaking into the fish room and checking out fry.

Samuel, I am glad that you understood my tiny little story.
Consequently, I actually enjoy your responses more then your actual threads.

In my defense, I have 42 more tanks than you so bachelorhood is not an option, but I appreciate your thoughts. As for Ronald Reagan, it was only meant as a joke and not to start any controversy. However, the blindside comment was funny!)).

[fishology]

i had to get a house so she would let me have another big tank..still looking for that other big tank..When i lived in my apartment she never said any of my tanks were dirty but now that were living together ...she says just the other day......"Honey the tank(55) in the kitchen needs to be cleaned" oh how the times they have changed.. My girl likes the sound of the water and pumps running..she said it helps her sleep better..I didn't want a tank in the bedroom this go round but she won..theres a 55 and 33 in the bedroom....lalalallaa

 

[longstocking]

:lol: I get fish and tanks... he got a boat :lol: It used to be scuba diving equipment, but now that he owns all of what he needs... it went on to the never ending money pit of a boat.

Quite sure you are in no way needful of any "defense", although running 74 tanks might give some pause. I do not number among them and would very much enjoy seeing this myself if only to ameliorate any fleeting self-doubt about the 30 stuffed into my otherwise semi-spacious three-room apartment.

Am certain that your "better half" rates a title equal to your own - would never imply or even imagine that your station in life (of which I know nothing) might benefit from or require any attenuation. The bachelorhood remark was self-commentary, period. Not/never my place to suggest otherwise.

In light of the strong possibility that some of us CCA folk have a tendency (conscious or otherwise) to perhaps equate personal wealth/equanimity/good fortune with 'gallons', am thinking it would be fun to do video tours of Member's homes, edited product of course being subject to tank-owner approval. I think walking/talking interviews with some of our CCA luminaries to explore their 'holdings' would be a riot and by extension, illuminating, as well as humorous and fascinating. Would just need someone to do some light editing, the rest would be easy. I know for fact that CCA has more than it's fair share of 'rock stars' - seems some expository tribute/celebration/fun might be in order. Might also provide excellent cover for some still negotiating with life-partners over allowable/acceptable gallons.

My nominations for the first five CCA vignettes:

In the Court of the Crimson Queen

Recreating Atlantis

Not your Typical Irish Lord

Better Living through Invertebrates

Are we Having Fun Yet?

You know who you are, and so does nearly everyone else. What say you?

 

[mchambers]

My girl

My girl (wife) told me about a 20L tank at the Georgia Avenue thrift store in DC, which I bought today. Beat that.

I was going to ask to Sam if he was dating a Marcos, but then remembered how our closet looks.

 

[msjinkzd]

I am in!

 

[dogofwar]

...My addition would be:

Park down the street and be quiet... AKA If the light turns on we're all screwed!

Matt

 

[msjinkzd]

I think we can come up with a better title than "better living through invertebrates".....
Perhaps, as we discussed, somethign more like "Invenerate invertebrate something or another"

 

[fischfan13]

I guess I am lucky.
I can carry styros into the house loaded with fish, place them down in the kitchen and never be questioned about what is inside...this has included fish, plants, bottles of wine and anything else fish related.
I recently added a 125g to the Dining Room with my wife's blessing. I also had the chance to score a 75g with Sedona stand but turned it down...and MY WIFE is the one who said "if you want it you can have it".

I am almost as glad as Richard to see this thread dying. Please do not post here again.
