hahahahahahahaha

And Gumbii. How are you gonna cop a feel if I can't come over?

I drove my son to the airport today and I'm a little sad. It's good that he's gone and I now have more time for my own life, but I'll miss him. I was his primary parent till he was 6 and I went back to school. I let his mom take him to NM and I basically lost my primary parent status, but at least I was there to help him be who he is today, a great kid with a love for science and nature. I want him back when he's a teenager and I have some land, a big n-scale train empire, another catameran, and $$$ to travel. I grew up on 50 acres in upstate NY and it was there that I learned the meaning of hard work. I'd like something like that for him when I get back on my feet financially.

I have a great pic of my GF on my cell but I'm too stupid with this tech stuff to send it to my e-mail. She's got a big smile on her face and she's standing and nude, but it isn't innapropriate. Just totally beautiful.

Boss: I think you may be under estimating the biological capacity of the roots of a hydroponic system a llittle bit and could have more fish with 2 4 by 8 tables of plants.

I have a large elephant ear plant growing in the circulating water of my fountain and the density and proliferation of the roots leads me to believe that there is plenty of surface area for biological bacteria. I broke a tomato stem with tomatoes and flowers attached and I diped the stem in root tone and it's growing fine in the fountain with tonnes of roots.

I think your biggest issue will be providing a balanced concenration and profile of the fertiliser flowing through the system that isn't toxic to fish (Mirical Grow is toxic to fish). I'd use aquarium or pond fert to balance the ratios of nutrients. I'd have the plants growing so that all the roots are dangling in the water and there is a constant current.

I had a friend who was growing weed hydroponicaly and he anchored the plants roots in that fiber stuff aquarium plants often come in. That stuff may be good for starting your plants but it may restrict the root system when the plants mature, so I would tear most of that stuff off the roots and simply dangle the plants in the water with cuffs or something. This also guarantees that there is no stagnation which may occur if the roots are confined in a fiberous "soil" of sorts. Maybe you could use those blocks of fiber stuff and alow the main roots to grow out of the bottom and into the water. It's important not to stunt the growth of the roots which might happen if the fiber blocks are placed on a flat surface prior to hanging the plants in water. I'd set up the blocks so that the roots can grow directly into the water when they leave the block.

I'd also have a series of tanks starting from a fry tank, a juvinile tank, a bigger juvinile tank, a breeding tank, and a "holding" tank where the males are removed and the females can nurture their fry without them being in danger.

I'd let the females hold until she lets them out, and then transfer to the fry tank, and then you will have a continuously running system.

I'd say that the more stages you can provide with similar age tlapia the easier it will be to manage and produce good quality tilapia filets.

barebacking is gross... i haven't been with one guy that does that... that's BS... your clients were probably flaming gay... i like big masculine burly/hairy men... most of them are health nuts and workout at the gym... so they protect themselves like crazy..

not all gay people are sex driven maniacs... i have a boyfriend right now, and we spend more time doing couple stuff than going at it with angry manseckts...

Boss: That sounds pretty high tech. I've had some kind of flue or something so my brain isn't ready to grasp what you just wrote. I've been puking, I have a sore throat, and a terrible headach allong with aches all over.

Gumbii: I'm glad to know you are playing it safe. I've had a lot of clients who have been with their partners for like 15 years and that's pretty admirable. I guess I have met some flaming freaks during the time I worked in West Hollywood. I don't pretend to understand other people that much. I'm just happy I am disease free and don't have to use rubbers with my GF.

Damn. I don't get sick like this very often. I feel like I've been drinking way way too much alcohol, and I've had none. I had to cancel on my date last night. That sucks. Everything hurts. I wanted to give my GF a nice long massage last night for her birthday, then have some great sex, and then curl up and cuddle all night. Maybe if I feel better today I'll take her out to lunch.
