  1. Sorry Joey, but my wife's turkey was better.....Yours was very good, but I gotta stand up for my wife. However the trifle, now that looked fantastic!! :thumbsup_anim:
  2. According to a news report, a certain private school in Newcastle upon Tyne was recently faced with a unique problem. A number of 12-year-old girls were beginning to use lipstick and would put it on in the bathroom. That was fine, but after they put on their lipstick they would press their lips to the mirror leaving dozens of little lip prints. Every night the maintenance man would remove them and the next day the girls would put them back. Finally the Headmistress decided that something had to be done. She called all the girls to the bathroom and met them there with the maintenance man. She explained that all these lip prints were causing a major problem for the custodian who had to clean the mirrors every night (you can just imagine the yawns from the little Geordie Princesses)To demonstrate how difficult it had been to clean the mirrors, she asked the maintenance man to show the girls how much effort was required. He took out a long-handled squeegee, dipped it in the toilet, and cleaned the mirror with it. . . . . . Since then, there have been no lip prints on the mirror
  3. Good looking hound I hope things go well with her.
  4. What ever YOU think is a fair deal for the both of you. A good price would be 300 a great price would be 100 a FANTASTIC price would be 20. A fair price, that is between you and him.
  5. Mike you have too much time on your hands!
  6. If this keeps up, we may have to be concerned about our fruit crops for next year.

    Possum

    I have a possum that has decided my deck is a good place to hang out. We have seen him two nights in a row and both times my lab chased it away into a corner and wore her vocal cords out barking at it. Can they cause any problems? I don't want to have to deal with it if it won't be a problem, kind'a a cute critter actually. Not at all aggressive even when completely cornered. Mind you my lab wouldn't hurt anything, she'll just bark at it trying to figure out why it doesn't want to play.
  11. My heartfelt sympathies, Bruce. :(
  12. Dan, I disagree with the above sentiment, the glass on his driveway is not there through his fault, and as you probably know it is a PITA to clean up. I would suggest that a shop vac may be the best tool for the job. Yes I know that it is a small inconvenience compared to his neighbours current problem, but it is not his fault. To take the situation even further, if his house had burned as well due to his neighbours misfortune who's insurance would pay for that damage?
  13. My wife and I met Christmas day 1989, Feb 13 1990 we were engaged, Aug 12 married. So I avoided the what do I get her for Christmas problem altogether. By the next Christmas it was too late to back out. Going on 22 years now. I tell ya, I don't deserve her, and she sure as heck didn't do anything bad enough to deserve me.
  14. My nephew is a Mountie in your neck of the woods Mike, and trust me, if you were being followed by them, you would never know. Probably some rube casing you out.
  15. How about SPURned??? :D
  16. FISHERMAN- A jerk at one end of a line waiting for a jerk on the other end. And waiting, and waiting, and waiting --- . FISHING PARTNER - A friend who knows all about you, but likes you just the same. Keeps up with the beer cooler inventory on a regular basis. Never has the right lure. Shows up late. As the fish start biting, he remembers he has to be home early to take the wife to the mall. BOAT- A hole in the water, surrounded by fiberglass, wood and/or metal, into which you throw money. (While waiting, and waiting, and waiting --- .) GO-FASTER BOAT - Same definition as ‘BOAT’, except you throw a LOT MORE money. Reduces fishing time and fish caught due to ‘my boat’s faster than yours’ situations. WORM ROD- A pool cue which has been modified by the additions of line guides and a reel seat. It usually has a small winch attached, filled with line that could be used to tie down Godzilla. ULTRALIGHT ROD- Comparable to a piece of starched 20 pound monofilament line. Is used for small fish or by lazy anglers. It offers great sport until a big fish hits; then it becomes a producer of "expletives deleted". GRAPHITE ROD- A stick made of graphite or graphite-composite material. It has somewhat less elasticity than fiberglass, performs 10 percent better than fiberglass, and costs 400 percent more than fiberglass. It is extremely helpful in reducing a checkbook balanceS. PROFESSIONAL FISHING ROD- Same as graphite rod, except for a 600 percent cost factor. Broken tips make great designer earrings. LURES- Pieces/combinations of wood/plastic/metal/hair/feathers designed to catch fishermen first and fish second (Lure manufactuers’ rationale: fish have no pockets and, therefore, can’t carry their money to the store; whereas fishermen, on the other hand ---). Extremely effective year round in ultra-bright colors such as hot orange, chartreuse, and fire tiger when fished waist high on the center shelf of a tackle store near such structure as a sign which literally shouts `discount tackle’. FISHING GUIDE- A gentleman who can show you where they were jumping into the boat yesterday and will probably do so again tomorrow. He runs the boat, tells utrageous stories and smells a lot like fish (Uses an old Indian fish attractant on his shirt and behind the ears, for he knows that advertising helps). FISH SCALES- The outer covering of many fish. Also, used to describe a device to weigh fish. Normally weighs two pounds light. Correction factor is to divide indicated weight by two and multiply by four. GOOD FISH- Any fish which can be caught, snagged or stolen off someone’s trot line. EXPERT FISHERMAN- One who has caught three or more bass in his/her lifetime. Is easily identified by the vast array of depth finders, PH meters, oxygen probes, 17 fully rigged rods, and seven tackle boxes which easily hold half of a discount store sporting goods department. Requires a 20 foot boat just to float all his gear. Empty live well is readily explained by moon tables, tide charts water temperature, pH factors, and the Farmer's Almanac. BEGINNER FISHERMAN- One who fishes with the expert. He is easily identified, in that he is catching all the fish. EATING FISH- Any fish too small to show off and brag about. TOO-BIG-TO-EAT FISH- Any fish worth showing off and bragging about, until it has spoiled and must be thrown out. FAVORITE LAKE- That body of water that produced good strings of too-big-to-eat bass six years ago. It is today overrun by speedboats, skiers and hydroplanes disguised as bass boats. It is an ideal place to find high winds (weekends only), green slime and discarded beer cans. It is a place devoid of wildlife, who have left it to the whims of Man. NET: Alternate to ROD when fish aren’t biting. LINE: "You should’ve been here yesterday." SUPERLINE: Used to cut your that steak you were going to have for lunch but forgot at home. TACKLE BOX: Only thing on earth with more diversity and color than the rainforests.
  17. OP = original poster - the person who started the thread.
  18. Perhaps we should all put our big-boy pants on and realize that we agreed to have our opinions moderated by others. It has happened to me as well, no big deal. After all, this is merely an internet forum that does not have near the amount of sniping and whining that is seen on other forums that I visit.
  19. My time was .295 but I can boast of over 3,000,000 miles of accident free driving....
  20. What Bernie says or just turn up your radio and you won't hear it any more. :lol:
  21. I believe it is the bill of sale and the registration that one gets from service ont in order to apply bow numbers.
  22. Hey, if it makes you happy, keep using it!
  23. Very nice ride! You'll love the Opti I ran mine close to 100 hours this year and used only a gallon and half of oil. You should be good for at least 55MPH with that rig.
  24. Good Luck!
