Seems like there has been a lot of negativity going on since I came back to the forum hope I didn't bring it!!!

Stop and think for a sec it's a hobby a beautiful one and there are bad apples out there we are going to have to deal with them but there are also great people out there and I myself have turned over a new leaf and am going to stay away from the negativity because all it does is bring the club down and I'm at a happy place in my life and want to stay there so everybody stay happy go feed your fish/coral and enjoy your tank it's a hobby not a job grab your kid and show him/her something cool in your tank!

I can't believe the price of cigs I never was a heavy smoker unless I was drinking then I could smoke a whole pack in less than 6 hours now that I think about it gross!

Agreed, despite the slightly underrated connotation of the word "hobbyist" in the context of the reef aquarium. It's goal is to garner great joy and educational value to us as a society and others experiencing our works of art. It's always profitable to be reminded of the reason we are all here, sharing a common interest and discussing nothing less than our passion.

One of the reasons I decided to get into reekkeeping was the fact that Hobbyists are "evil" and are destroying natural reefs!!!!!! But the fact that most of the worlds coral reefs are dieing off at an alarming rate our little glass boxes are going the be the only thing that saves many species from destruction..... that ought to make ya feel all warm and bubbly inside:p :p OK reality there are people that like to stir the pot they feed off of drama then theres the rest of us, dont let people **** ya off for flaming trolling being a A55hat or any other mean malicious or general idiocy. some times people get cranky put their foot in their mouths. We have all done it at one time or another be nice to your fellow coral porn buddies were a family here and all families have a little dysfunction :)

Nice, congrats! I know how hard it is to not drink when you've had fun your entire life. I'm just past four months I think with not a drop. I also switched to Blu e-cigs, they're a hoot! I still like the occasional regular cigarette of course, when out with friends who smoke. But I see myself tapering off this Blu pretty much. Keep up the good work!

Good job.....Quitting is tough. I've been cigarette free for about seven years now and I drink about a beer a year. So I know how tough it is.
If you ever get the overwhelming urge to smoke, don't pick up a cigarette, go get an electronic smoke. My wife stopped smoking months ago
by using an e-cigarette. She's got some good flavors that I mix up for her :)

+100!

Some/most...but not all...drinkers (or fill in the blank, tokers etc)...DREAM BIG in life...as they sit belly up or on the couch...life in their dreams is huge...then they find...if/when they quit...something funny happens...they ACT BIG in life.

One day I said to myself, hangovers suck. I decided that tomorrow, I don't want a hangover. Life without a hangover was so good that I kept making the same decision...now going on 5 years....and in that time I've made 15 years' worth of belly-up dreams come true...

Wow I sound like Oprah.

KEEP IT UP BOYS!
