Brian Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 So, January I had shoulder surgery (3 complete tears in my rotator cuff and bicep). I have been just sitting watching my fish and fish YouTube. Wife comes home I tell her day after day how bored I am. She says get dress taking you to dinner and wherever you want. So I picked pet store hoping... lol. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hobbit Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 (edited) Tonight’s conversation with my husband: Me: “I don’t think of myself as a nerd. Even though I probably qualify.” Him: pats my knee “Everyone on that fish forum of yours is a nerd.” Me. “We’re not nerds, we’re nerms. We pretend to be normal in real life so it’s normal plus nerd equals nerm.” Him: “That just elevated you to a whole nother level of nerd!!!” Edited March 16, 2021 by Hobbit 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daedalus Posted March 16, 2021 Author Share Posted March 16, 2021 The next level is NERM, he's finally starting to get it. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aubrey Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 11 hours ago, Hobbit said: “Everyone on that fish forum of yours is a nerd.” When friends and family know what "the forum" is even though they don't participate in it. That's the next level. 3 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I send updates with photos to my family every week. They've stopped answering. I work in fashion and now think buying new plants is more exciting than shoes. On a scale of one to ten, that's a 17. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalita Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 My mom, whilst explaining the nitrogen cycle and why the tank isn't ready for fish yet, "Ok, well as long as you understand what you're saying." 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celly Rasbora Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 So, I am not technically a nerm, because I'm not a member on yootoobles, but considering how excited I get when there's a new video … I'm pretty nermy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H.K.Luterman Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 I'm so Nermy, I'm training my blood parrot to swim through a hoop, and I wear a fishy necklace. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandra the fish rookie Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 Although new to the hobby, I have notifications for my top youtube favorites, which includes but is NOT limited to: KGT Tropicals, Aquarium co op (and a member as well) as well as more Aquarium Co Op, Prime Time Aquatics, Fish For Thought, Girl Talks Fish, The Small Scape, Goliad Farms, The king of DYI, Keeping Fish Simple, Flip Aquatics, Quebec Cichildes (because I am Canadian, and Quebec is where I am from), George Farmer, Oliver Knot... and a few others.. you get the point. Oh, and my family knows not to call me during Shark week! NEVER! Don't disturb me! LOL Here is how my husband participates and keeps it all straight (and I quote), is that the yellow, blue and brown M&M's guy? Is that the couple from Chiago? Is that the couple with all the Betta fish you want? Not sure if this classifies me as a Nerm, or a person that when I become interested in something new, I want to know all I can to become confident, and master any new hobby or interest I have. I am on the forum A LOT. Sometimes just reading comments, or other peoples questions or issues. Its helpful! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
