Bly

Well done and very much looking forward to the next 1,000!! Was a pleasure seeing you again and meeting Jackie this past weekend. Look forward to seeing future pictures of "Teddy"

Ewwww! Hate the nasty things! Had the unfortunate experience of being bitten some years ago by a Hobo spider, very unpleasant I tell ya. I am extremely grateful that I haven't ever had to see a black widow up close and hope I never do!

Here is what I found doing a quick search....Good luck! Nipissing Little Angler Report French Billy Bob thread

oooohh pretty fish!!!! Way to go Joey and Paul!!

Excellent bass Scotty!! Props to Mark!

Thank you for sharing, always like seeing the little ones and their catches. Carter looks to have entered the "do it myself" age....I had to chuckle when I saw him push mom's arm away.....brings back memories for sure!

Good Morning As a friend of mine used to say, "rain or shine, work or rest, any day your vertical is best"

We always used the dirt where we found them but I can't recall if they ever made it a week or not. Often buy worms now ...keep them in the styro container and in the fridge and they last at least a week if not used before then on fish

Had a great time Dann! Definitely would like to do it again. As for the crappie....I'll confirm that story Tracker and Cliff might have had a chance to catch up if they hadn't wimped out and headed in so early Thanks again!! Have enjoyed myself at every OFC G2G that I have attended and met some great people, I would definitely recommend attending!

Morning Pamela Not sure what you have tried but maybe this one will work.... 1/2 cup warm whole milk 4 Tbls cornstarch 2 cups whole milk 1/3 cups sugar 1/4 tsp salt 2 egg yolks (beaten) 1 1/4 tsp vanilla 1 Tbls butter Combine the 1/2 cup of milk and cornstarch first. Combine the remaining milk, sugar, salt and eggs then add the milk and cornstarch mixture. Over medium heat, stir CONSTANTLY. Bring to a boil, continue to boil for a full 2 minutes...keep stirring. Just before removing it from the heat, stir in the butter and vanilla. Allow 10 minutes of cooling time (I like to cover this with wax paper to prevent a skin from forming) , whip and pour into baked pie shell. Top with meringue, whip cream, whatever you like It has been my experience with this recipe that to achieve a creamy yet firm consistency, it should be allowed ample time to set. I prepare it the day before I intend to serve it. Hope you find one that works!!

Well done Dann, that it a most excellent walleye!! Every once in awhile they put up a nice tussle to keep you guessing all the way to the boat. Congrats again!

Well done! All those happy faces..that is what it is all about!!

Morning Super Dave, You could try Frenchman's Bay or even Duffins but if it were me with 2 younger kids, I would head to the docks in Port Perry. Good luck!

TJ knows all about the little guys and trebles..eh TJ?? Nice pike Monique!

Three most popular places in Port Perry to fish Scugog from shore.... The Causeway The government docks...Water St The public boat launch Was out there last night, managed a few nice crappie, bluegills, small bass and a cat. If you want to drive a bit farther you could try Caesarea

Thanks for taking the time to put that together (some gorgeous fish!) and to share the tips! Good times with friends and family and fish! Does it get any better than that??

Congratulations Mark and Mike!! Well done!! Mark..Speedy recovery!

Welcome Mark! Great pictures of you and your son, always fun getting the little ones on a first Beautiful bow!

Been there Moosebunk. Will try and keep this brief. You are not just trying to break a bad habit, you are attempting to change a "coping technique". The same support and encouragement that one needs to quit smoking is needed here and sometimes a helpful aid. Punishments tend to increase the frequency of the habit and encourage hiding and even lying. When my oldest was younger, she was a nail biter. I was able to purchase a product that was developed for thumb sucking (nasty tasting stuff in the equivalent of clear nail polish..does not wash off easily) as a deterrent. To assist the coping side of things, she needed something else to do with her hands that was subtle, a worry stone was perfect. We talked and agreed upon ways to measure her progress (eg I could see bits of white on each nail etc.) Each time she met that goal, there was a small reward. I still remember the first 2..a coloring book and then her very own bottle of polish as she finally had some nails Even as her nails were growing out, I continued to apply the thumb stop (think that was the name) for awhile, the simple act of applying it seemed to help her and as with any habit, takes more than a few weeks to truly break it. Amanda now has beautiful healthy nails. Your ultimatum. Always followed through with my ultimatums for all the obvious reasons but one day I realized something..sometimes my ultimatums were too much. I learned that it is ok to admit it to your child and attack the problem from a different direction. I would still do something about the deception.."2 wrongs don't make a right" thing. Ok, so it wasn't so brief lol I hope that you are able to help her no matter what you decide.

Lew, glad to hear the surgery was successful and that Diane will make a full recovery! Best to you both, go and enjoy each other and the summer.

I am sure that you will have a great time just have one little request for you.... Can you make sure that I get him back alive and in one piece??

"Although the Postcard virus is real, it isn't a "BIG VIRUS COMING" (it's already been around in multiple forms for a long time now), it will not "burn the whole hard disc" of your computer, CNN didn't classify it as the "worst virus" ever, and it doesn't arrive in the message bearing a subject line of 'Invitation.'" The above is quoted from the Snopes link....... Brian, you should be fine if you are following wise web protocol. Cheers

Welcome! I hope that you enjoy your time here.

Nice! I might need to spend some $ and try out the goby imitations. Thanks

Sweeeet! Congrats on the new PB! I always get a bit shaky when I pull in something like that, not sure that feeling ever goes away, at least I hope not Congratulations again!
