Bass Resource forum slow to load
In the early afternoon...it lags hardcore.I keep thinking I'm on a 56K modem...I ended up sending Glen that download thing he recommended to do. But when i come home at 11PM this site is flying like DSL. After i got hit with that trojan...My computer now has an extremely good virus protection.I'm not taking the chance anymore. :-[

Work ethic
Thank you showing that those with poor work ethics are of varying ages. It is easy to blame a generation when the fault actually lies in workers of all ages. I was recently FIRED from a job by a boss who found it in her best interest to place blame on me for an error she made. As a result, I, the younger and harder working employee is without a job all of a sudden. I'm 29, and while I do see slackers younger than me, I also see quite a few that are older and still aren't worth their paychecks but keep their jobs because of seniority. If you ask me, seniority is a crock. I hated it in the military and in the civilian workforce. Just because someone has been half-a$ing their job for years does not make them any more qualified than those who have less seniority. Work ethic is definitely on the decline across the board. Too many people doing the bare minimum to keep their jobs and not worrying about actually DOING what they are paid to do. My .02 Seniority is not useless.....If you and another guy sign up for over time work/or a new upper job position,you both have same experience,but you've been there one year longer with the company than he is.....common sense is you get the overtime work/job position first(right?).That's how seniority is suppose to work.It also protects from the company kicking out older experience workers for young cheap labor.Loyalty can go a long ways with companies. If you got people skimming by on a company...where and what did the supervisors do to stop it? :-? There's bad and good things about everything including people.

Work ethic
That's a dangerous thing to say my friend....very dangerous.I wouldn't go saying that out loud.Specially around me in person. > I'm going to disagree on immigrants being the better workers.....I've worked in enough low income jobs where most of these people(immigrants) seem to occupy and one word sums them up for me "LAZY!" with a capitol L..... I work on a shift with Arabic men and they ain't any better either....They abuse the heck out of acting like they don't understand something when they do. I always find myself working twice as hard as everybody else trying to make up for the guy who's acting dumb. >

Work ethic
People like that are the reason i am high up on seniority list. Most new guys don't last one week on my machine....I've been doing it for 6 1/2 years.All the Blood,sweat,oil and grease. ;D Even worst I'm on second shift.....right smack in the middle of the day.

Do we Make Fishing Too Complicated?
Yup,I know i do..... However learning from Catt,I'm doing the same thing...I got an Ax deodorant bag for Christmas that is getting used as my tackle bag....very small and handy.Going to find a decent pair of pliers/scissor combo this weekend and I'm set. I'm keeping my big bag in the car though "just in case". ;D

The Worst Play In The History of Football
The worst GAME is more like it.... I said earlier the AFC didn't have a chance......I retract that statement now after watching this game. The Saints aren't going to get those opportunities they got today to blow Vikings away. I can't believe this game went into overtime to be honest.
-
Championship Sunday
Saints are looking extremely well right now.I personally believe the NFC game is going to be the game to watch. Sorry AFC fans,but NFC has it down this year.

vicious ultimate
I had problems with it when i had it.I won't recommend it to anybody. Just my personal opinion. P-line arguably is a much,much better line and much stronger than any other line on the market right now. It's better to pay a little extra for line you know will hold up instead of shelling out money on cheap line that won't.

Professions???
Been there done that...Unemployment sucks. I'm back to work again as a Steel slitter operator.Producing steel for the cars.

Cleaning Cork On Handles? THE RESULTS ARE IN. THE MAGIC ERASER IS AMAZING!!!
My kid had a bad bad habit of writing on the walls with markers and spilling/spitting red koolaid or juice all over the walls in the hallway and his bedroom. Magic Erasers were a life saver.... Like everyone here mentioned,do not use them on softer or delicate surfaces that have a shiny clear coat.It will dull it pretty badly.Just mentioning that,I wouldn't try wiping the rod itself with a magic eraser to be truthfully honest.

Paypal question...
4.5 No Surcharges. You agree that you will not impose a surcharge or any other fee for accepting PayPal as a payment method. You may charge a handling fee in connection with the sale of goods or services, as long as the handling fee does not operate as a surcharge and is not higher than the handling fee you charge for non-PayPal transactions. Holy cow....I had to look this up..... This reminds me....five.bass.limit i want my $6 back now... j/k

Paypal question...
Technically,you can pay by Money order if you don't want to add that 3%-4% PP fee.Why should the seller take that lost if he doesn't want to?It's convenience for you to just pay "paypal" and not have to worry about sending a money order through mail that could very well get lost. I'll pay the 3% if that's what the seller request(for my protection),otherwise I'll ask if he'll take a money order or just altogether turn down the deal. I usually eat the cost when i sell something...so that's why you never see me selling much of anything,unless I'm just getting rid of it to make room for something else.

Goby - Food vs Predator
I see and hear more people catching smallmouths than Largemouth bass in the waters around me. I caught a measly 6 largemouth bass last year....I'm more worried about the largemouth than the smallmouth bass. Are gobies helping or hurting fisheries? I have no clue.There's positives and there are negatives from having them.
