Grandson likes broccoli. I steamed broccoli yesterday to go with his fish dinner. Well, he wouldn't eat it. He's used to grandma's broccoli which is overcooked mush if you ask me.

I need to ammend the quote to include getting rid of the grandkids as well.

Hank looks like a sheep

Life changes...priorities change... We all have chapters in our lives. Some we have control over and some we do not.

and if it ain't?

Actually, it did get better. Today, he fed his entire family. Papa pan fried all the, bass, and bluegill he caught yesterday. Served with grilled corn on the cobb, steamed broccoli, and potato chips. He must have said "Did you like my bass?" 100 times.

So you side-gig as a paparazzi. And you call yourself a fisherman. Mr. Kayak has 10 rigs ready to go and A-Jay only 6 Actually, that was very kind of you and fortunate of him to run across you. Now we have 100% proof you are not the only person who has the coordinates of Lake Menderchuck. I know you'll never break, but he might.

First cast. His biggest to date, at almost 15"

It's official

Rasta sheep

If you're not generating them $$$ then why should you expect them to generate you $$$. I learned many years ago that I couldn't make a living fishing. I broke even a few years. Hard to get excited about that.

This papa's first rule is "Papa wins. Papa always wins" He's an alpha male and his dad is dead. Only male influence he has is myself and his mothers biological father. Saying the kid is a handful is an understatement. He's on full speed 24/7. I have him trained well. Papa might have to raise his voice a decibel or 2 but that's it. Kid runs all over momma and grandma. Sadly, they are too old for me to train. Kid is smart. He knows I'm not blood. He told me so when I removed him from the restaurant on his birthday for misbehaving. "You're not my real family!!!" The following Monday I went to his soccer practice as I always do. He ran up and gave me a hug and a kiss. After practice I said goodbye. As he was walking away, he turned around and said "Wait a minute. Aren't we mad at each other?" I told him "you might be mad at me but I'm not mad at you". He said "OK". End of story. I may have mentioned this before, maybe not. I scolded his mother for getting knocked up one evening when she, grandma and I were out to dinner, when she was pregnant. Dad was a piece of crap, and neither one of them was in any position to raise a kid. I was so angry at the situation, I actually told her I could never love her child. Well, things have changed. If Eric, momma, grandma, and I were being attacked by a pack of lions, the women are getting sacrificed. If the 4 of us were on a small plane and we had to lose weight or crash, momma and grandma will be making a quick exit. Eric is my favorite human being and the one thing in life I wish I could take back is, thinking, let alone saying, I couldn't love him. He didn't ask to be brought into this world. He's here and I'll be damned if I let him turn out like his loser father.

He just turned 5

Don't know about Oberweiss Dairy anywhere but IL. Oberweiss has ice cream stores and milk delivery service in IL. Oberweiss has chess tables in their stores. I've been teaching my grandson how to play chess every time I take him fishing. We go to Oberweiss after every fishing outing. We learn chess. We eat ice cream.

At 30, I weighed 170lbs and was skinny. Changed careers to a more physical one and bulked up to 230lbs mostly solid and was full of energy. At 42 I had a career ending injury which left me disabled. Jumped up to 300lbs and maintained that weight until 49 and felt like crap. Killed the carbs and lost 50lbs. I feel healthy at 250 +/-. I'd like to lose another 30lbs for vanities sake, not for health's sake.

I lost 50lbs 3 years ago by giving up carbs. No exercise. No diet plan. No nothing. Just stopped eating carbs. I am by no means a healthy eater. If I don't buy it, I can't eat it, is my diet plan.

It's Tennessee. No explanation is necessary.

How cool is that!

Probably similar to meat tenderizing.

Don't know. It's Delta 8 THC, not Delta 9 which is what comes from pot. Don't know what they look for in a drug test. I use it for a sleep aid. My left shoulder is jacked. I've had numerous shoulder surgeries. Done the CBD thing, forget it. The Delta 8 is derived from CBD.

AM on a crappie minnow.

3chi Hemp gummies that give you the benefits of THC without the high.

We've asked for a specific "food" sub forum before more than once...

Nice thing about living in the Midwest is humans are at the top of the food chain.
