For another time that you might be coming up this way

you can park at the timmies on Seguin Trail Road

then just unhook and there are tons of great lakes all

around the Parry Sound area.

For all my lawyer and doctor friends.

 

 

 

Statistics can be alarming at times! There is a book out, "How to Lie with Statistics".

 

 

Subject: guns vs doctors

Doctors:

(A) The number of doctors in the U.S. is 700,000

( Accidental deaths caused by physicians per year are 120,000

( C) Accidental deaths per physician is 17.14% * Statistics courtesy of the U.S. Dept of Health &Human Services []

 

Guns:

(A) The number of gun owners in the U.S. is 80,000,000 (yes that's 80 million)

( The number of accidental gun deaths per year, all age groups, is

1,500

( C) The number of accidental deaths per gun owner is 0.001875%

 

* Statistics courtesy of the FBI

 

[]

 

So statistically, doctors are approximately 9,000 times more dangerous than gun owners.

 

Remember, guns don't kill people, doctors do.

Not everyone has a gun, but almost everyone has at least one doctor.

 

Please alert your friends to this alarming threat. We must ban doctors before this gets completely out of hand!!!

Out of concern for the public at large, we have withheld statistics on lawyers for fear the shock would cause people to panic and seek medical attention.

Oh My God I just couldn't stop laughing....but damb it really isn't funny it's true aughhhhhhh

I got the exact same email a week ago when I last posted about gulp...I wrote back and told them that I had already spent 20 dollars on the bucket and I was not willing to spend even more to mail a defective bucket back to them. I got no further emails back. hmmmmm

Wow and this is why I have to worry about every other boater out there.

I have been driving cruisers for the last 22 years.

I assist my father when he needs someone to tutor for the test he teaches

through the Power and Sail Squadron.

You never know who took a course and who took the dock side ya ya test.

hmmmmm

Wow....one of my daughters had to have emergancy neuro surgury 5 years ago

very scary !!!!!!! my prayers are with you both.

treat her like a queen and you become the king in the end !!!!

Right now I have three rods on the boat.

One set up for top water.

One set up with a pickerel rig.

One set up for trolling with a jig, ready to add gulp.

I have asked for a Bass Pro gift certificate for my birthday because I would like to have a second rod set up with a pickerel rig. Lord knows my fav spot eats gear!!!

But at least all I lose is the stuff at the end of the line....not like hubby who cast in and lost hold...opps there goes his fav 5' ultra light ugly stick hmmmmm.

He ordered that one up from the states so I am hoping that I will be able to get him another one at BassPro.

Amazing how much equipment some of you guys have!!!!! I am jealous

I didn't realize that everyone else was having this problem as well...

I just sat mine inside of a bowl because I don't have mine in a tackle box

it just stays on the boat

but I think I might put it in another container.

I can't see keeping any more than I am going to eat that day or the next.

If I want to keep fishing then I just release.

I have been known to go ashore, cook up what I have caught, eat that and then catch more for dinner. Does it count when it is in your belly???

I have kids your age and my advice to them was:

the market is being flooded with computer science techs and people with business degrees

what is really needed is plumbers and electricians

with those trades you can always open up your own business in the future if that is what you want

there is also a shortage of any profession in the medical field

if you don't think you could work with your hands and can do the sciences.

and the trucker thing hmmmm they work super long hours

not something I would want to do

I love having my fishing time lol

Great Tat!!!!

I should get hubby one that says...

Goin' Fishin'

across his back, so I know where he is off to without asking lol

I had wanted this one

but wow now that I have seen this one hmmmm real nice

When I was young, a catfish got my dad right through his shoe...

I use plyers !!!!

The rush when............."FISH ON"......happens

Listening to my husband tell me what I should be doing, "teaching me", agreeing with him,then turning around...do my own thing and out fish him....gotta love that.

And the time with those I care the most about. My husband and I bought a pontoon fishing boat because my father had fallen a few times getting into our other boat (and mom just couldn't get in at all).......my father didn't have any sons, so it was me he woke up at 4 in the morning to go portaging to his favorite lake.

Plus they just taste so good

how adorable !!!!!!

they don't stay small for long

my dog is taller than I am now lol

I have very fond memories of Gloucester Pool. I used to spend a week each summer up at O'Hara's. It was the only place that we ever caught gar pike, the kids didn't want to go swimming after seeing them.

Some people buy the pre-packaged orange bucket from Canadian Tire, believing that they have everything that is needed and put it on their boat..as is.

You get stopped by the MNR and if that bucket is still sealed they write you a ticket...the flashlight inside has no batteries and there for is no good.

I love my wind-up flashlight..never have to worry about checking batteries..which I know I would forget to do.

We attach a fox 40 whistle to each lifejacket...we sometimes spend whole days out on the boat so if the kids are going in swimming we also have fox 40 whistles on wrist lanyards that they have to wear, so I don't have to be counting heads every 2 seconds.

Great job L.A.

If only my kids kept their tackle box looking that nice!!

Looks like an EXCELLENT day !!!!!!

I am so sorry to hear that yet another person has been lost to doctors not having enough time with each person. I was a nurse for many years and had to leave because I just could not keep nursing in that way. My brother-in-law was misdiagnosed for 2 years...they told him he had a bladder infection and gave him antibiotics....he had bladder cancer and was dead within the year...he was 36

Wow, lots of good advice....love the beer and "mens" magazine comment LOL

My sons sometimes come out with me fishing, other times they are too busy playing video games

but getting my daughters to come is easy...I ask their boyfriends to come and they follow and boyfriends just can't say no to the girlfriends mom ha ha

Other times I prefer they all stay back and let me have some peace !!!!!!!

Send the map, I'll mark all the good fishing spots

Hi Bill,

Hmmm how to send a map that can be marked hmmmmm

do you think you could look at

http://www.mlca.ca/waterquality_area2.html

these maps and let me know which zone and water test number

it might give me an idea of where turtle bay is

Lately the question would be "Where do you wash lures?" and I'd say "The Thames". I think one should be catching something to call it fishing.

 

JF

LOL I am always telling my husband he has the cleanest tackle anywhere !!!!

My buddy's dad owns a cottage on Manitouwabing, fished that lake for years when I was a teenager..

 

Turtle Bay is definitely my fav There are some BIG fish in there.

Hmmmm Turtle Bay....I know Robinsons Bay and Farmers Bay....I might have to send you a map so you can show me where Turtle Bay is...this lake is just sooo big and I have only been here 2 years. A friend of mine (another woman you guys, we can always out fish ya lol) took out a pike as tall as me and weighed over 20 pounds.

I don't think I could ever do a time share on my own because I want to be able to relax about the whole thing. There are some time shares being built soon on our lake, but then a company is managing the whole thing, which I think would be alot more relaxing. Even though they are not a real popular bunch on the lake right now

I try to fish as close to the water as possible!

as close as you can without getting wet???

OMG You smart donkey LOL

Lake Manitouwabing is north east of Parry Sound, in McKellar.

And I love the answer from Rich, cause here it is 4 season fishing as well !!!

gotta love it. But the crappie I have always just thrown back...is it any good?

JWL...that is one thing I do miss about where we used to be is the browns for breakfast.

Just wondered where everyone does the majority of their fishing and what they are out there catching.

I am up on Lake Manitouwabing...we catch perch, bass, pike, pickerel and of course catfish which is great on the smoker !!!
