Seriously though, cutting booze is a great step. Keeps the weight off, helps you lose weight, lowers the risk of developing diabetes, and your immune system will function better. Among many other benefits.

Electric vehicle? Just go full vegan and you'll be alright. ?

I do my fair share of pleasure boating with my family. Fishermen need to learn the water is for everyone, not just anglers.

I'm specifically talking ponds and untouched water. There's really no pond gems left unless you have access to something private.

My Expride isn't fat.

The 21st century is just room temperature IQ.

Over the weekend I saw someone posted a video of a bank side bass catch and cook "to make bass fishermen cry."

You're blessed to live in such a place. All the water here is posted private and sometimes fenced, or it is well known and managed but beat to death and has no boating signs. Can't launch in any of these ponds. You're in one of America's last frontiers.

Definitely interested in this. Did the soft material still prevent your dog from tearing at the stitches? And did you notice an improvement in her ability to eat and drink from bowls? Poor James keeps getting caught on the corners of the walls and since it's a hard cone it stops him in his tracks.

We're sharing crustless chicken pot pie mixed with mashed potatoes in what is a very poor man's shepherds pie in our makeshift front room bedroom. Seems to be able to lick it up pretty well despite the cone. We will not be telling mom...

Why is it dangerous? Not being argumentative, genuinely curious. Goes without saying, don't do anything dangerous. For me there is no danger where I fish, but I'm also not on the Susky. "Rivers" that are glorified creeks.

Fishing pressure is at an all time high. Thanks to the internet, especially YouTube, there are no longer any secrets and everyone is doing the same thing. And whether or not some choose to accept it, climate change. Indeed it is getting harder.

I can't wait for the poor guy to get this cone off so he can get back to himself. We DO NOT pee without stuffed animals in this house. But we do bite off more than we can chew. When mom noticed that Sir James Allen Douglas the First was getting, shall we say, a little too excited while waiting for me to leave the rabbit room that he is not allowed in, that was it for his balls.

I wouldn't discount low water levels in rivers. Heck I've found the bigger ones are easier to find and get to when the levels are low in the summer. My favorite time.

When I sell rods, I sell them in the rod sock. Mostly for extra protection during the shipping process. Nice bonus for people too.

Beats what I do. Two old shoe boxes with a pen.

Hell I'm in my 30s and I still fight the urge to run to my bed and jump under the covers when I turn the lights off for the night. Not snatching me up! Night fishing is a group event or not at all and I'm not ashamed to admit it lmao

If you're gonna have a dog just to keep it outside, don't get a dog. They're not cattle. These people disgust me.

"Excuse me, sir. I think you lost something in my FOOT!"

Bonus to being out here in this position on the floor: I learned the rabbit likes to climb. Mirror gave her away.

Hahaha, my therapist's dad used to own a tackle shop back in the day. She told me she still has a ton of dancing eels in storage from the shop. I was thinking, "oh I bet."

As a fellow testicular being, I was very biased in my fight for him to remain intact. Ouch!

James was neutered last Thursday. Not my choice, but his mama insisted. I personally didn't see a point. He's a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, so he's not aggressive or territorial, he doesn't mark, and he's a big baby so he doesn't run off anywhere to impregnate someone's female. He's not to run or jump for 2 weeks post-op. The very first night he was trying to jump up on our bed where he sleeps with us, so we set up shop in the living room where we will be sleeping with him during the duration of the 2 weeks. His cone prevents him from being able to eat very well, so mama hand feeds him breakfast and I hand feed him supper. Bonus picture: His mama calls me every night after work and I answer on speaker phone. The moment he hears that call he sits in the doorway here, staring at the backdoor waiting for her to walk in.
