Bro, I've been married and divoriced twice in the Army (thin women both times ), and I'm here to tell you nobody's paycheck doubles when they get married. BAH and BAS combined make up only about 20% of my paycheck. Family seperation pay for deployed Soldiers isn't enough to excited about either.

I found a few UL and ML one piece rods in your price range, but no Lights.

Five or six more years? What kind of degree are you working on?

Get some nicotine gum. It worked for me. I smoked and dipped for 18 years. I gave it up in March of 2009. Nicotine gum is a lifesaver.

I've never used them, but they look like some good worms. I like the colors they offer.

I don't think it's a way to get your money. It's a way to keep people honest. I used to fish that exact same lake when I was a kid. I could cast a roostertail and catch both bass and trout. Not everyone is honest and ethical. There are some people who are always going to try to get away with something. If they didn't have to buy a trout stamp, there would be people fishing with powerbait and claiming that they were bass fishing.

Good luck with that. Welcome to the forum.

I had a Cardiff 300 and gave it to my brother when I "upgraded" to a Curado 300. I should have kept the Cardiff.

I don't know what kind of rod is used for the species you mentioned, but I have a couple of Browning Safari travel rods, and I'm very pleased with them. GLoomis and St Croix both make travel rods too, but I have never used them.

Welcome to BR!

Gross!

How old are you?

Ditto. I had no idea that it had become a seasonal product.

Bluegills rock, but unlike others here, I don't like talapia.

Where can I get some dam bait?

I've decided that if I ever get married again, I'm doing it in Vegas. My first wedding was in a church ( she wasn't bad for a first wife). My second was in a courtroom (close call on that one). My next will be done in one of those Elvis Presley chapels. I don't have a plan for the rest of my future weddings, but I think I have two or three more in me.

...and Bruins, and Cyclones!

Does this remind anyone else of the 2007 season?

Four guys have been going to the same deer camp for many years. Two days before the group is to leave, Ron's wife puts her foot down and tells him he isn't going. Ron's friends are very upset that he can't go, but what can they do. Two days later the three get to the camping site only to find Ron sitting there with a tent set up, firewood gathered, and dinner cooking on the fire. "Dang man, how long you been here, and how did you talk your wife into letting you go?" "Well, I've been here since yesterday. Yesterday evening, I was sitting in my chair and my wife came up behind me and put her hands over my eyes and said, 'Guess who?'" I pulled her hands off, and she was wearing a brand new nightie. She took my hand and pulled me to our bedroom. The room had candles and rose petals all over. On the bed she had handcuffs, and ropes! She told me to tie and cuff her to the bed, and I did. And then she said, "Do whatever you want." "So, here I am."

They were. I'm bummed. I'm gonna go sulk now.

Every team does have some bitter fans. With that said, I can't believe my beloved Sooners just lost to the Missouri Booger Eaters!

Good luck with your first tournament. I'll bet it's not your last.

Welcome to BR!

I like it!
