fishing n autograph

Hey guys,

I got some real bad news today when I got home from work. My father, who has been battling a form of skin cancer for the last few months has taken a turn for the worst.

He saw his surgeon for the third or forth time today and the surgeon basically told him that there was nothing more he could do because the cancer in his forehead had been spreading too fast and that it was a rare form...a more elusive and evasive form.

The doctor basically said to my father that he needs chemotherapy asap to survive. Even if he gets the chemo, he only has about a 50% chance to live. He was advised to go to Toronto to see a specialist (we think he's at Princess Margaret). The problem is, is that this doctor is the only doctor in Canada that can deal with this.

My father had a biopsy about 4 years ago that came back negative, but his surgeon today basically told him that the result were Bull and that he has had this for a lot longer. We're not sure how far this has spread.

I had a long conversation with my mother tonight. She had her ups and downs, but for the most part she feels cheated. Over the last few years my father had lost 85lbs and in that time, my father seemed to lose all of his heart troubles and was more healthy than he ever had, so naturally my mother was thinking that she wouldn't lose her husband to a heart attack at an early age. Now, he has cancer....

Need your thoughts guys, i'm having a pretty good break down right about now with different stressers that are happening.

dave

Hey guys,

gotta question for you....i punctured a hole in my A/C hose...took my car to the mechanic for an estimate, he said the part from nissan is $218, but wants to charge me $360....

am i being ripped off?

My wife keeps telling me i behave like a 12 year old

 

does that count

your's too?? i thought mine was the only one!

Hey guys,

It'll be my first time out this season....i needed to get out and get some air. Gonna be a nice day tomorrow, hopefully I can find some chrome....

Anyone wanna join me? I'm hittin' Erindale Park....will be there at sun up....

Dave

very nice fish WTG

wow...talk about Karma....I placed a few Gerrittesque remarks on this thread...and what did I have to do last night??????????

I had to put poor bambi down with a shotgun after she got hit by a car. Then, after I was done with that accident...bambi's friend runs out on the road from the other direction and gets hit by a car. Luckily this one ran off....

Pretty sure a 9 mm at close range is more than enough.

it is....but we're told to use the shotgun instead...harder to miss i guess

Yes the driver could be charged with failing to remain at the scene, and if the damage was over $1000 and he didn't report the collision to the police, failing to report. As for any charges relating to leaving the animal there to suffer, I'm not too sure!

you beat me to it...

For fishing the grand you need to DOWNSIZE BIGTIME.....16 is the largest you should go....18-24 is basically the best sizes to use when it comes to nymphs and dries.

perhaps it was closed due to dangerous water conditions? they do that up here all the time.

the result of an incestuous relationship...oh wait u said utah not arkansas

well, we've got the place we're stay....it's a small b+b in Old Montreal...looks really nice and has rave reviews...it's a block from Ste Catherine's....so we'll be hanging out down there. My wife has spent time down there but I haven't....closest i've been to Montreal was Ottawa....

When are you coming down Dave and for how long?

Just for 3 days...11th-13th...we're driving up early on the 11th...bout 5.5-6 hours from where we are....

Take a ride up top to Mount Royal, Great view. Check out St. Joseph's Oratory, it's an amazing structure even if your not religious. Go for a Smoked Meat Sandwich at one of the many restaurants, and a Lafleur's Fry is also a treat. Lot's to do there, those are some of my favorites from Montreal.

Yup we're already going to st josephs....gonna go pray for a miracle...no not the Leafs winning the cup...i just want my old wife back lol

Hey Guys,

The wife and I are heading to Montreal next week for a little getaway. I'm just wondering about things to do, sightseeing wise. Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Dave

Hey All,

We had a small turn out for our get together, but I had a good time. It's nice to sit and talk fishin' with guys who are familiar with your fishin' spots.

Anyway, sorry there's no pictures because ironically we all forgot our cameras!

Take care guys,

Until the next one
