Come Along as The Singles Forum Goes to an Aquarium! (Which Sea Creatures are YOUR Favorites?)

[Niki7]

OH man!!

When I was a little, little kid, I remember going on the 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea ride at Disney World -- I loved seeing all the "creatures" under the water, but I was very, very nervous. I kept asking my Dad if we really were at the bottom of the ocean!

I loved seeing the "mermaids":

But I was absolutely terrified that the "sea monster" was going to get us -- no matter how goofy he looked:

Bio- luminescence looks so cool -- like the aurora borealis of the ocean. ❤️

I didn't watch it at the time, but I liked to idea of the show Sea Quest and what it meant for exploring a whole 'nother world, and without setting foot into space.

And yes, here in Singles, we love handing outextra points and various rewards (usually in the form of digital baked goods) for:

1. Witty banter and encouragement.

2. Insightful feedback and personal stories.

3. Picking on Lynx. (Whoops! I mean, er...)

Actually, that wasn't a typo. Even @Oncefallen picks on Lynx!!

I hope to have more Singles Forum Adventure threads in the future, so please stop by anytime (all members are welcome -- married friends can bring their spouses!)

In the meantime, I am happy to award all your awesome posts and pictures with our prize for the day! Bon appetit.

are those shortbread in the back there? must have and thank you

I went on that ride in my 20's with my cousin...we had to wait inline forever and a half

they should make luminiscent soap....without the bios...fun in the shower

never saw the Sea Quest program tho

I think I might have scared Lynx away

Even @Oncefallen picks on Lynx!!

I don't know what you're talking about,









but of course there's always more than one way to skin a cat.........

OH @Lynx !

I'm not saying it's time to put on that cheerleader outfit and dance on the table again, but...

@Oncefallen is here, so it might be time to put on that cheerleader outfit and dance on the table again.

Who says we have to wait until the company Christmas party?! After all, "Christmas in July" IS a thing...

(Just please remember to shave this time, for all our sakes!!)

Take one little nap (which is my right, as this is my day off) and everybody gangs up on me behind my back.

*Lynx makes off with all the cookies, to assuage his feelings.

 

[RodB651]

There are those fish that just want to hang out in the coral, eat, mate, and mind their business. Those are my favorite fish.

 

[Susanna]

Mm…the offer still stands hence the position of being cheerleader for the Galveston Night Flights currently is vacant. Just one applicant so far, but I sense that there are some issues with the pompoms.😂

 

[fizzyjoe]

does he count? 😂...jk🤣

depends...what is he?🤣😁

 

[fizzyjoe]

Rubber duckie?

It was delicious, thanks. A bit chewy, but exquisite flavor.

cats and dogs they always chew on rubber...🤦‍♂️🤣

what an extraordinary coincidence it's my day off too and I been lazy and resting, we aren't related are we?🧐(had cookies too)

Not to sweeten the deal or anything, but I forgot to mention that the position is captain.👩‍✈️(sorry, I couldn’t find an emoji of a cheerleader captain so I had to use this one. Don’t worry about the feminine impression of the emoji. We welcome any gender lol).

I guess the only aquatic wildlife Lynx will ever see will be his rubber duckie:

But Lynx, what if your duck gets lonely? Maybe he'd like to meet a few new friends.

my rubber duckies don't need water, they can still squeak,I even have a squeezeable pig that makes noise no water needed😁🤣

Hey Everyone,

Like most people, I really enjoy zoos, but it was on a childhood class trip to Chicago's Shedd Aquarium that I truly fell in love! I was amazed that God had made so many creatures that can live in completely different environments than us land lubbers:

How about you?

Why don't we all head out on a an adventure-filled day to an amazing aquarium -- snorkels, flippers, and diving gear are optional.

* 1. Do you have any favorite aquariums you've been to, would like to go to, or would love to visit again? Do you have any memories of past trips to share?

* 2. What would you look forward to seeing the most? What are your favorite animals and exhibits?


You'll catch me spending extra time anywhere there are dolphins, whales, sharks, otters, and penguins!! I especially love the expressions of the Beluga whales:

Hammerhead sharks are fascinating!

And I could never pass by the penguins or otters without stopping to watch them play. (Apparently this penguin couldn't resist stopping and watching, too.)

* 3. What animals would you dread or avoid seeing? Some here might know, but... I am a bit... hesitant (and have been known to elicit strong feelings -- and sounds!) when faced with frogs: (after all, they were part of the 10 Plagues for a reason!!! *shiver*) Just look at this terrifying face!

* 4. What other things would you like to see or do at the aquarium?

* Grab a coffee and burger while watching schools of fish swim by?

* And, I know they're horribly overpriced, but you know I just have to stop by the gift shop!!! (I especially need to check out the t-shirts -- and stuffed renditions of the local residents.) What would YOU be most interested in?

What?! Every purchase I made would be helping the wildlife! (Or so I would try to tell myself.)

How about you? What would you enjoy most (or least) if we went to an aquarium?

Come along with us and let's expand our underwater adventures beyond just our own bathtub or shower.

my feelings have changed a little toward sharks I feared them most but, now I realize there are two far more fearsome...
Giant Squids and Giant Clams neither one hesitates to go after any creature🥴

A fish out of water.

I'm thinking these are Rodney's kind of fish:

 

[TabinRivCA]

depends...what is he?🤣😁

He's a dream, lol, ...the title 'homo sapien' doesn't seem fitting😂

@Lynx! Oh Lynx!

Don't throw away those pom poms just yet!

Looks like Susanna is generously saving you a spot.

(For those of you wondering, this is a joke carried over from another thread.)

*Seoulsearch tries to explain:*

Well you see, it all started when Susanna said she needed a cheerleader for her team, then Oncefallen said something about Lynx looking ok in a skirt, and Susanna saying, "I think I've found my cheerleader!" And...

Uh... Yeah. It's a long story.

 

[fizzyjoe]

He's a dream, lol, ...the title 'homo sapien' doesn't seem fitting😂

lol well can't goggles fit him so he looks more realistic?🤣😁

 

[fizzyjoe]

A fish out of water.

lol not buying it, ain't no water on him🤣
maybe a mirage😁🤣

How much does this gig pay? I need to save up for the meetup.

Great news, @Susanna -- Lynx is interested in the position!

Now you'll have to negotiate his salary -- and does it cover the cost of the cheerleading outfits, or will he have to bring his own?
