ok guys thats enough.

just beacuse paul is out for dinner and cant respond dosnt mean we should post negative things about him. we should save this for the meeting where he wont be able to hear us.[/quote]
oh, brett, if you knew how my hearing was lost, maybe you wouldn’t be so mean to this poor deaf old geezer.

hundreds of rock concerts. most up way too close or backstage.[/quote]

I didn’t know “Lawrence Welk” cranked up the volume like that ::rofl::[/quote]
larry welk was a doper from way back.one of the first hippies. he cranked the bubble machine up to 11.

Ok, its all done. the order will be placed early tmmrw morning.

I’ll have the “in store paid” list during the day, and i’ll know exactly who gets what, and if there’s multiples that need fair distribution/ selection … etc. The “single” order guys, and fish orders, i’ll let you know when you can pickup, or i’ll bring it on monday to the meeting… it’s your choice…

Here’s what i’ve got on my side…

Paul(moliken) … 2 XL Kenya Trees @ $35ea … Paid $70

Dave(hondacbr) … 1 derasa @ $20 … paid $20

Craig(cdangelo) … 1 derasa @ $20 paid $20

John(saltcreep) … 1 deresa @$20 paid $20

I’ll add in the others tomorrow, and have more info…
thanks everyone! It went nice and smooth!

I don’t know about you guys, but i was doing the whole list of param tests tonight. I’m excited to finally get a derasa PBJ! and i always like to know exactly what my params are when adding something new. It makes it less stressful for me, and the animal knowing that i’m holding up my end of the relationship…

If thats not enough… then the tried and true “hot water and ice” method will be used >LOCO<
::rofl::

btw…

Calm down Paul ::rofl::
Two 2’’ purple maxis’s!

LOL

I’ve heard the stories. I just wish I was significantly older so I could have smoked partied with some of the guys Paul did before they completely burned out.

now that’s funny

now that’s funny. somehow my heart attack was postponed. kenya trees. YIKES.
and as for craig’s wish goes, daddies are not allowed to participate in such nefarious activities as herbal ingestion without their kid’s permission and their wife’s objection. ahhh, the wonders of panama and colombia.

lol Paul your such a kidder. I strictly remember you asking me to add the big kenya trees between your clams to fill the “gaps” they have already attached and are looking good one already reproduced 5 little babies. lol

that’s exactly what i want…kenya trees ::hitsthefan:: and your daughter to grow up without a daddy. Saint:)

Ok all my group buy people… here’s what we ordered as a whole PBJ! :BEER

4- 2" Purple Maximas
1- 1.5" Gold Maxima
5- Derasa
1- Blue Mandarin
2- Green Tip Orange Bird Nest
1- Tri Color Valida
1- Plum Crazy
1- Blue Voodoo Staghorn
1- Miami Orchid

So the question is… and i have Pauls permission on this ahead of time, to pick his clams for him (purple maxi group)

And also all the other participants… do you want to pick at DPA tmmrw? even as soon as getting it right in the ORA bag? sounds good to me ::thumbsup:: ::thumbsup:: I’m only in on the derasa group. But everyone let me know… either way is fine, tmmrw or monday.

the right in the bag time frame will be in the ball park of 1 - 3pm. We could still work it out later to accomodate work schedules, i’d just get them out of the bags and into the l/r tank at DPA.

just gimme some input everyone, and pm or post your contact info if you’re not able to view the thread.
I’ll post in this thread, and/or contact you txt, or otherwise as soon as it arrives.
any single item orders can be picked up anytime during store hours.

so… thats a “deresa” group… a “purple maxi” group… and unless both frags look visibly different, then a “green tip orange picky frag pickers” group (you know your out there) ::rofl::.

I do think it would be cool to have everything at the meeting for all to see… but, on the other hand, it would be a couple less stressful moves on the animals, and less water to bring to the meeting.

Also DPA is sponsoring this meetings Frag Raffle, and Charlie told me there’s plenty of good stuff to pick from! YahoO

Charlie also expressed his appreciation and thanks for all the participation in the Group Buy! and that he’d be happy to do it again in the future.

no no no … Thank you Charlie and Delaware’s Premium Aquatics! :BEER
“affordable clams”…PRICELES!!… well actually $20 bucks ::rofl::

Can’t wait to see that box arrive! YahoO

I would love to be able to pick up at the store, I have a water change ready for the morning and could pick up in afternoon.

I ordered
1 X 2" Purple Maxima
1 X Green Tip Orange Bird Nest
1 X Tri Color Valida

Ok Frank! I’m pretty sure “guy” (its Jeff? right?) will come for that also, so your purple maxi can get taken care of, and at least one or both of your frags.
Your in my phone, i’ll txt you upon arrival. ::thumbsup::

Paul come on you know you love kenya tree’s :stuck_out_tongue:

I thing ORA glued some on the side of your maximas

I’m all for picking up at the store to eliminate stress on the animals. Besides it will give me a chance to see what else came in on today’s order ::thinking::

So vote me as 1 in the derasa group

You are correct sir. Just got to remember we have 2 guys with very similar names on here. We have a TheNewGuy (I think this is a patent infringement slap-stick lOl)
I would love to pick up today as I mentioned before. As Craig said its less stress on the animals that’s about 2-3 less transports for them. I will send you a text. Sorry but I do not remember you’re name verdict_in. I am about to do my water change this morning and everything is looking good in my tank now :slight_smile:

Thank you again for setting this up for all of us with Charlie.

john, i am gonna have to get my kenyas maximas at the meeting

I still need to hear from 1 more deresa person(honda). We’ll see if we can do it after i hear from him, and get his input.
1 other (morty) I know is avail at 3ish, 3 30… but i’ll post as soon as i know.

Craig, Jeff… does that work for you guys if so? ( friday’s and getting the kids from school) i understand… just let me know thoughts…

If that is the time we can come I will be there around 4:30 ish after I get my son from school. He also wants to buy a betta fish yay another tank to setup…

Ok… update, the shipment is scheduled to arrive a little later then expected. more like 3:30-4:00…

Just let ne know when its in. Worst case scenario john you pick mine up and ill get it from you later.

I’m headed up to DPA now! Its here! YahoO
