Thats freaking awesome. That would totally change game day parties. Everyone could be outside instead of dirtying up the house. Smokers wouldnt miss a play. Same thing for ufc fights. The guy whos out tending the grill wouldnt miss a single punch! I love it.

Id just be happy the cat was gone. Forget about getting it in the house. Cats are worthless animals. If you need a mouser there are plenty dog breeds who can do that and they dont crap in a box in the corner and smell up your whole house. With a small bit of training dogs can be housebroken. Plus they actually listen to you and protect your family and property. A cat would just sit there and watch you be robbed blind.

Get your car fixed and get out while you still notice the "red flags". Her family would come first even if you were married. Even if they are wrong(like this case).

Ive had many lucid dreams. They are awesome. If you want to learn EVERYTHING about them visit www.world-of-lucid-dreaming.com. This site has an overwhelming amount of info on the topic. How to's for beginners, reality checks, advice for experts and forums to discuss any questions. I remember when I first found out about them. I was like, this is an actual thing? I thought it was just me. Ive never met another person who can do it. Im just an intermediate. My problem is staying asleep once I become lucid. I get so excited at the fact that Ive achieved lucidity that I wake up. I have had false awakenings though where I never actually woke up. I just dreamed it. I remember one lucid dream where I became lucid and just barely cracked one eye to do a reality check (all the while sound asleep) and I saw my dresser. I closed it and continued to be lucid for just a bit before I actually awoke. Havent been able to do this again. From what I understand that skill is beyond a master of lucid dreaming. I dont think we have as much control over it as we think... Not too sure about astral projection. I think they may just be very vivid day dreams. Like a lucid dream but your actually awake.

Wow. Thats so rediculous. What union was that? I doubt they are still organized. Ive NEVER heard anything like this before in my area. Yea maybe 50 yrs ago in chicago/new york but not anymore. Not all unions are created equal. Im a Journeyman Ironworker. I do bridgework, structural, ornamental and reinforcing iron work. Our union, Local #111, out of Rock Island, Illinois has only 200 members. The bulk of which (after a large number of old timers retired) are 18-35 yrs old. We are known for taking GREAT pride in our reputation and craftsmanship. We are well trained and get **** done. Period. What you are talking about we call "wobble" a job. Its against the law and our local can be sued for it. Our union steward is there to uphold the contract the Contractors agreed to. Not to "slow down work". This concept is rediculous. How would your union compete with non-union if you bargained in this way? As far as being "taught" how to do a "work-slow", thats some bs and if you ever participated in that then your just as bad as the people advocating it. We've all had tools stolen. Sometime its by fellow unionmen. Usually its non union guys(in my experience). And if I EVER saw someone sabotage a jobsite and me or one of my brothers were injured, first off they would be brought up on charges, lose their union card and get some broken ribs and lose about 10 teeth. This is the most absurd part of your story. Me and my fellow ironworkers are like brothers. The last thing I want to see is one of them get hurt. Our job is dangerous enough (top ten deadliest) without some a-hole making it worse.

Most unions (maybe all, not 100% sure on large nationwide unions) dont have peicework (quotas) contracts anymore. Including mine. We are not required to produce any certain amount. There is no minimum or maximum. So any self respecting union man/woman will work just as hard no matter what the demand or lack thereof is. I work I disagree off if the job is a ahead or behind. If Im putting my name on something its going to be done right and fast and safe.

Not sure if your "bs" comment was aimed at me, but if it was, would you care to elaborate?

Do your research before you make "thickheaded" comments. They have made so many cuts in the recent past to the workers pay and benefits that they finally had enough. They have families too. All the while the execs gave themselves raises ranging from 100-300%. This company was systematically driven into the ground by the execs. in order to sell the brand for big bucks. The workers pension is owed tens of millions of dollars by the company but yet they were being "greedy"?! If it wasnt for unions in this country we wouldnt have: the weekend, safe working laws, child labor laws, overtime pay, etc etc. People think that union men/women are over payed workers, even though we go to school for 3-6 yrs to MASTER our craft before we make that much. Dont blame someone who makes more than you for trying to make him/herself a better life. Union wages increase ALL wages. This country is seriously lacking skilled craftsmen. Everthing is cheaply slapped together by the cheapest, most uneducated workers, just to increase profits. Pride in your work is nearly nonexistent. The fact is that we want ALL workers to be treated and payed fairly. Dont settle for less than your worth.

lol. You aint doing it right man. Maybe try golf...

I woulda took like 100 pics just to tick him off more....jerk. lol

Its called fishing. Not catching. Dont give up. What really helped me in the beginning was visualizing my lure. You need to be aware of what your lure is doing at all times. Maybe find some clear water and try different retrieves with your lure visible so you can see how they react. Theres more to fishing a spinnerbait than just cast and retrieve. Theres pops, pauses, rips, rolls and w/e you can think of. You really need to be aware of the action you impart on a particular lure to give the best presentation for the current conditions. When fishing plastics you need to know how a particular lure will react when rigged weightless as opposed to rigged on a jig head or texas rigged or rage rigged etc. etc. Like I said. Find some clear water and study the lures you use. Too many people just cast out and retrieve with no further thought. They just daze off thinking about work or something until the bait hits their rod tip. Practice. Visualize. Catch fish.

Thousands?? .....cmon man....

I can feel the smallest bluegill nibble on my plastics...

Nonexistent on all 3 of mine. Two for plastics and one spinnerbait.

I like how the Moose actually let him touch his snout. He was like "yeah were cool man just hurry up, I was chasing a hot cow and shes probably long gone now!"

You know what that misleading title is called in "internet lingo" ......trolling. How ironic.

I literally just examined my rod closely for everything you just mentioned. Not sure what you mean by dead stick...but I dont notice any tip imbalance AT ALL. I have a Quantum Tour Edition on it that works like a dream. The eyes are ALL perfectly straight and centered (if you read on St. Croixs site how they are affixted to the rod you would know its nearly impossible to get it wrong) and the black cherry finish is absolutely flawless and awesome when the sun hits it! Im not sure (again) what your problem is with the fuji reel seat but mine has NONE of the issues you mentioned. Silicone??? Where??? Again, perfectly centered and inline with eyes. The first thing that caught my eye was the awesome finish and overall design and craftmanship of the rod. Not sure where the heck your getting your rods from but it sounds like they are buying factory rejects and riping you off. Got mine from Dick's and tackledirect.com.

I fish up near the Clinton area from time to time when my buddy with a boat invites me. He used to talk smack about bass fishing but I changed his mind and soon after he joined a club and started doing tourneys..lol! We just use the navigation on my smartphone to look for sloughs and backwaters. If anybody around here needs a buddy to go with you, just PM me. Im 29 and pretty layed back. I LOVE to fish. No kids. No wife (not homosexual lol). Ive got a '08 Ranger FX4 that can pull a boat if need be. Ill be getting my own boat as soon as I pay off my truck. Most of my friends have kids and can hardly ever go fishing. I could use a new fishing buddy.

Your right. Senkos work but I started on a 7" power worm and I was "hooked" ever since. You really have to try hard to fish em wrong. I understand your guarantee though and it IS great advice for beginners. Hopefully it works for a few and when they are seasoned anglers they can pass on some knowledge as well!

LMAO You forgot to put IMO. Because thats all that is. An opinoin. And the only reason you give is a four letter word? Wow. Way to be descriptive. Just another shimano groupie trying to spread the disease.(relax shimanomaniacs...) The last Shimano rod I owned (which was waaaaaay overpriced) was actually "decent". Thats it, just decent. My ugly sticks are decent too. I sold it for less than half the actual cost because I felt thats what it was worth. For $99 you can be the proud owner of a St. Croix rod with a proud American made product (yes I know the mojos are made in Mexico but its better than Asia). Their HQ is in the U.S and ALL St. Croix's are designed in America by American rodmakers. Im not really a one brand guy I just like the American history behind St. Croixs. Too many companies send their manufacturing abroad to increase profits at the cost of quality. All too common and a major problem in this fine country.

It doesnt have to be Senkos or Ikas. A worm or a tube will work also. Sorry RW, just saying. Newbies need options based on price and availability.

Take sandpaper to your fingers like the guy in the movie Sniper. lol

All my BC rods are mojos. I LOVE them. So sensitive yet strong. Comfy in hand too. Best rods Ive even owned/used.

They work for me just fine. When Im looking for a big fish I put on the 10" or 12" worm.

Pigs are shallow
