Did anyone get that table acro colony there? that thing was sick.

PL-Reef · 12/17/2006, 05:57 PM

not sure which one your talking about, but he had alot of nice corals there.

REEF-DADDY · 12/17/2006, 06:35 PM

I saw the one your talking about. It was a nice piece but I don't think anyone jumped on it. A. latistella I believe

ctreefer · 12/18/2006, 07:42 AM

I'm sorry I got there so late. (At least I made it in time for the raffle!) It was my first time at F&F and it is a lot bigger than I thought it was. Nice store and thanks for hosting and donating. Leslie, it was good seeing you. Its been awhile. Thanks for the frags, they're doing great.

On a side note, I was lucky enough to win 2 items from the raffle. One I'm not sure what it was, but it was a F&F donated acro labeled CG acro frag. Does anyone know what that is?

LeslieP · 12/18/2006, 09:14 AM

Great to see you too, Vince!! I need to work a little harder to get to more meetings because it's always so nice to see the old friends as well as meeting the new ones.

Many thanks to John and his employees for their generosity on so many levels and also to our officers who do so much to make this such an awesome club. CHEERS TO YOU ALL!!!

It's always a pleasure to go down to Farmer John's candy store er um Fin and Feather. A big thank you to Farmer John and his staff, as usual they made us feel welcome and at home. Also for the generous donations to our raffle.

Gobey · 12/18/2006, 07:50 PM

Likewise - I'm a little late posting here, but thank you to John and the whole staff to make it another great meeting. There were some fancy wrasse there. Serious eye candy with all the nice corals.

Thanks again for the generous donations to our raffle too!

Would of been even better to get a discount on dry goods also, could of had a pair of HQI bulbs and a maxijet sold.

Im just being truthful, this was my first time at your store, and the first time at a meeting where the host didnt offer our discount on dry goods. Every member dont attend meetings to buy corals or fish, some come only to buy drygoods. It's funny how you only had it on the salt and nothing else. Im also not the only one who felt this way. Just the one to speak out. Your store is nice and thanx for having us. Im not picking a fight

Sometimes John, even 30% plus your best efforts.... will not make some of these guys happy..........JUST LIKE MY WIFE.......

remember members.... this is how we make our living... every bit of inventory sitting in our store... is purchased to resell... for a profit... we need to make $ to be able to rebuy all the stuff you see

ANY ONE SEEN THE COST OF ELECTRICITY !!
rent rent rent rent RENT
r/o stuff
food
salt
payroll
plastic bags
light bulbs....... we use a lot of those..... lol

all that stuff... we have to pay for, before we even begin to really see profit....

most of you "reefers" are awsome... and see the big picture.... some need education..... in more ways than one....

its ok to support the guys trying to support you......

.really ... its ok to pay ... a few percent more than your absoulte best efforts might find ... to help keep your local store ALIVE...

Dont you guys like being able to go and see the stuff your buying?... isnt that kinda the fun part?

T5PO · 12/19/2006, 05:26 PM

Joe i respect you alot, you have always took care of me. But i said im not in for a fight. Just giving my opinion, im not gonna act like the meeting was perfect. The lights were being turned off why we were still there, it felt like we were being rushed out. And if you cant feed a hungry crowd dont invite them to dinner. I didnt expect the meeting to be for my purpose only. Im not in retail so i appreciate you having me view things from your point of view. Farmer John no hard feelings, blame RUBBAGAGOW he spoiled the child Ha, Ha, Ha

RUBBAGAGOW · 12/19/2006, 05:45 PM

this is ron ... i got to talk to joe about the deals...lol if you see a lot of dots (.........) then you know im posting .... just so you know how to tell who is talking........

this is a fun place to visit...... i get to use a lot of dots......

T5PO · 12/19/2006, 05:56 PM
