Hi Tina. I thought that I had been around for a long time but you were into Discus way before I started in 2001. I can't wait to follow your adventure!
BTW, I also know about strange looks. After I had to close my dog grooming shop due to back problems I converted my dining room into a grooming room.
I hope that I can become one of your new friends. I'm sure that there is a lot that I, and lots of others, have to learn from your experience with one of the hobby's best.
