    Antabuse is a drug that is used to make people sick when they drink. Its a strong detourant. From the Beety Ford Clinic( I do not endorse this place, just one of many sources) Antabuse (disulfiram) works by blocking the removal of a toxic substance (acetaldehyde) that occurs in the liver when alcohol is broken down or metabolized. A special enzyme, acetaldehyde dehydrogenase, which rids the liver and bloodstream of this substance is the target of Antabuse. Flushing, a tight feeling in the chest, headache and more or less severe discomfort are experienced by the person who takes a drink after taking Antabuse. The effect of a dose of Antabuse usually lasts from twenty-four to forty-eight hours. This very unpleasant consequence of drinking alcohol while taking Antabuse does not address at all the mental and emotional symptoms at the root of alcoholism. Antabuse is occasionally helpful in getting a person through a severe period of craving experienced early in recovery. However, these benefits have generally not been effective in maintaining long-term sobriety

    Good question Dan. I have seen fellas learn how to tolerate Antabuse and drink over it, pain from the esters aside. Also you can't stay on it forever, and alcoholism, as with any disease is progressive, So when you get off it, without any support or treatment the relapse rate is very high. Good point and question Dan. When I got clean, the fellas who helped me, some worked in rehabs and such , knew i was a knuckle headed mook so they detoxed me from a long addiction, ending with IV heroin use, COLD TURKEY. 11 days of seizures,no sleep and I was unbelievably sick. That detox helps keep me clean, as I never want to do that again . More people should do this because it is easy to forget what a hell active addiction can be

    My sponsor has 25 years clean, his 26 his 35 and I have 17. I guess the 12 step program i am in , which has helped hundred's of thousands of addicts might be part of the answer I go into jails, bringing our message of hope, and I am happy and grateful to say that many show up at meetings when they get out I point this out with all respect to you, as you have given us incredible support in other ways, so I am just pointing out, that while what we do in the other program ( the Spring Giveaway) goes to these same fellas, and we could not do it without your trust and generosity
  7. If my gradfather had lived longer, he loved soccer, I probably would also. He used to listen to the game in Italian,and he would be all over it.

    DOCTORS HAVE MADE A SERIOUS MISTAKE TREATING ADDICTION WITH DRUGS. Look there is a fire, throw a match on it, that will help I can tell you from being in recovery for 17 years now, that drugs do not help addiction Give a dope fiend Methadone, you are just helping him stay high, You just get to know where he is every day. I stopped using, A DAY AT A TIME, BY NOT USING AND MAKING MEETINGS. It's not rocket science I refused to take medication and I got to live a total drug free life Hey Brent; I guess that we could say this about cigarettes and all the marijuana driven accidents ( by some estimates , causes as many fatal accidents as alcohol) , oh thats right these drugs are accepted by society. It does not work, I sit in meeting after meeting, of the 12 step program , and I can tell you one of the major causes of relapse: PAIN AND DEPRESSION MEDS
  9. Yea it had to be my fault because I am a poor communicator! I guess I only approach things right at Cabelas and short circut in BPS.
  10. Thanks for your effort. We all have our favorites , mine is Cabelas, for many reasons of convenience.
  11. Their policy, and I have never read it, so there is a strong possibility I have it wrong; if you bring a competitors ,current flier or sale ad in they will match it.
  12. Seems like the simple solution would have been to order online... Why when you can place most of the same order from Tackle Warehouse and get free shipping for orders over 50 bucks, Burley turned me on to that one. Fishing so close to Cabelas , offers me the benifit of store delivery, Does BPS offer this also? BPS is 58 miles each way, I fish less than 15 miles from Cabelas and live about 30 miles away
  13. I need to be fair here. The BPS in Memphis, was the exact opposite experience, as far as customer service. I went there with Road Warrior and Risk Kid, I believe on the way back from fishing at the Fork in Texas. I had broken the tip off an Extreme, as Glenn was showing me an "easy way" to pull a spinner bait off a stump! It was my fault totally, I went into the Memphis , told them what I had done , he took the rod, and gave me a replacement free of charge, on a break that was totally my fault
  14. I start with a worm then to an *** Brush Bug, out of habit, nothing that would resemble logic
  15. Witness number one since he spoke up. I was trying to buy an extreme reel that day and it was on sale on the net site for 20 dollars less than the store price. Speedbead, Basser 89 and Sharkbite were with me and neiter the salesman or manager would meet the Internet BPS price, AT HARRISBURG The other instance was for them to match a price on a BPS site sale for a Fritts Cranking reel, Ron was with me that day SAME DEAL!!!!!!!!!! No Going So now MUDDY IS GONE : Which is not gonna break them by a mile
  16. Thats EXTRA EYE ON THE SIDUS, next question please
  17. K.I.S.S. 4 rods all 6'6" Cabela's Fish Eagle II's 2 X Med Hvy 2 X Med 4 Pflueger Trions LP Wide Spools 1 is 5.3:1 For cranking and Jitterbugs Trilene XL 10 and 12 lb. test Those cover all the ways I fish
  18. Great work Burley, and I had to work all weekend. I am very sorry I missed this trip, what pizzed off Jimzee's dog so much?
  19. Good luck on the Bass Factory next weekend 8-)
  20. Wow they treat us more than fine, Bruce wanted the Dawia Rojo combo they had on line. They did not have it in stock as a combo, but had him go to the aisle to get the rod, they got the reel and repriced it at the combo price, that is taking care of your customers ! 8-)
  21. Pflueger PFLTrionLPCR exactly 100 bucks. I have one and I really love this reel , here is a link: http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/templates/product/standard-item.jsp?id=0011735116476a&navCount=1&podId=0011735&parentId=cat20331&masterpathid=&navAction=jump&cmCat=MainCatcat20166-cat20331&catalogCode=IK&rid=&parentType=index&indexId=cat20331&hasJS=true There are 2 Quantums at that ratio for sale for like 40 bucks now on the Flea Market also
  22. Odd, because the Harrisburg store is where I was... Hummm Anyway, I go to Cabela's (it's only five minutes away for me). The biggest thing I don't like there (Hamburg Store) is the lack of organization. Items never seem to be located by a product category or make. They also have some thing about constantly moving stuff around so you can't find it. Most of the prices seem on the high side with little or no lower end pricing. That store is also always full of a lot of rude people on weekends! You can hmmmm all you want but that is what happened and it happened twice. Cabelas in Hamburg, moves their floor plan seasonally, and yes it is a pain in the butt. The fellas who work there, seem to always be able to put you onto what you are looking for. Cabelas and BPS have about the same prices on brands, other than there own. If I need something cheap I go to Wally World. BPS; Bait and switch with their combos, They have given a few people ( according to some older threads here) The Internet is different from the retail price dance and their ridiculous shipping and handling fees drove me away for good Fair is fair: The Cabelas shipping and handling is not any bargain either, but I live so close that I just get it sent to the Hamburg store, and get free shipping and pick up service.
  23. Hey DMB: which is why I will not buy them anymore. Made me a full time Flooger Mook! I really love their rods
  24. You keep that up we will have to dub you the new DUKE OF MOOK!!!!!!!!!!! Nice going, good talking to you this morning 8-)
  25. I had a few of the old Prodigy's why they changed them I do not know, but I have had a new one to try for the last couple of weeks, and I am not feeling the new one The Tournament ZX, are good when they have them on sale for 50, which is a good price for that reel.
