    Congrats on the Job and Hubby's Retirement! Welcome to being a "Retiree"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Tricare prime honey, it's cheaper, but the drawback is it's an HMO:-/

    I understand what he means. I'm sure he gets frustrated giving advice that he knows works because he's done it for too many years and having people do just the opposite. To make matters worse they come in the next day complaining that what you told them would happen did...and of course they want their money back.

    Guy wanted a nlood red hawkfish yesterday and I asked him if he had any shrimp. He said no, so he took it home and brought it back later because it ate his sexy shrimp...you know the shrimp he didn't have in the first place. He got his money back for the fish, but he actually wanted a new sexy shrimp. Um, no!

    Gin, I've changed my mind. I don't think this is my dream job, I could handle the tanks but the customers--well you know! Hope you are still having fun.

    I bet you can't wait to get home and pull some new circuits LOL

    I don't offer advice anylonger unless I'm asked for it , Mostly now days I just read and see whats going on I could never go back to a public LFS . I'm setting up a coral system now at a LFS and when I'm asked a question I just point to the store owner and say he's who you want to speak with . I just put the systems together , Thats about all I know about them.

    Almost every job out there would be a dream job if it weren't for the customers
