I just took bill-bending for granted... I didn't realize people had to *be taught*.... must mean I'm from WI too. Very nice bend, though, CWR. :)
its a halibut.
the only true way to measure how big your fish is, is to lay down next to it. if you catch one the same size as you, then you get the prize.
my fish that was the biggest in 2005, killed the guys in town that a girl got the biggest fish. 63 in = 128 lbs = me
never knew the bend wasn't something anyone knew. interesting....
BMO3 - I lived in Madison for 9 years and I had my baby at Meriter, 6th floor too. Wooooooooo....scarey huh? Now I live 3 hours north in Merrill. We call it the pickers up here. So you're a Mudduck are ya? (Most people aren't familiar with that term;) but I mean it in the nicest of ways). And, yes, I think I will have that first date! I may even break my rule and kiss him (it is project FROG after all, right?)
ROTFLMAO - Weasel - I have tears r-olling down my face! You and your crazy halibut crack me up!!!! llololololololololololololololololol.
It kills me to see skater kids with freakin' straight brims on their John Deere caps!! :eek: I shake my head and say "When I was a kid, we laughed our @sses off at the poor dorky farm kid who wore daddy's hat to school." Then Ashton Kutcher does it and suddenly every tom **** and harry with their little skate boards and long hair has a straight-brimmed John Deere cap. Ugh.
Nonononono! Chica is NO weasel!!! She may be wicked, however...
Dr. "Kill Independent Jennifer" 's nurse just phoned. :(
Here is the lovely, albeit brief dialogue:
Dr. KIJ requested I follow up with you to make certain you understand and are complying with his instructions.
Yeah, for the most part.
You are taking the Coumadin recently prescribed?
Yes
You are not drinking alcohol?
No (I may have said that in a snotty way)
You are taking your CCB?
Yes
No driving?
No driving, I just luuuuuve being freaking stuck at home (last part was thought in my head).
No intense aerobic activity?
How would you define intense?
Nothing more than walking.
Ummmm, I am running every day.
Running?????? (Huge sigh on her part and I can hear her writing)
He did not say I could not run. (okay,I was probably a tad devensive here)
Well ma'am (I hate ma'am) your tests indicate no heavy aerobic activity.
I have not been told my tests results.
You will be discussing those with Dr. KIJ on Dec 22nd.
Then the results cannot be too serious, until I hear otherwise from Dr. KIJ, I will be running.
It is not advised.
Noted.
(at this point she mumbled something and scribbled something about going against medical advice and hung up).
BMO3 - close. May of 2002. You got some babies at home! How do you find the time to work out? Dr. KIJ sounds like they have the cart before the horse. Why are they waiting until Dec. 22 to discuss your test results with you? Slap them up with a Halibut!! And I'll let IL guy in on the hat discussion cuz he'll get a kick out of it. THEN I'm gonna kiss 'em!:D
...oh. He's from IL. Darby... I didn't want to have to say this, but..
You're a cheesehead dating a FIB. Of course he has a little bass and can't turn his hat properly. Now it makes sense!
BMo3, that's really awful- I'm sorry... I hope your doctor and his nurse manage to find and correct their cranial/rectal insertion issue soon.
Nanci, do you live near Boca Raton? We need to send someone down there for 2 days to set a display and I might volunteer if I could ride bike or meet some cool TE'er.
Kit ***whispering*** he might be a flatlander, which could explain why his bill is straight. **talking regular again** You know, no matter how you say it, it just doesn't sound right.
Lise, hope we're not offending you with our IL humor!
Not possible. We are FIBs. And you are Cheeseheads. You can't help it. Neither can we. :p He is awfully cute. Keep us posted!
Jennifer/B3--the nurse is just scared you'll trip, fall, and bleed too much while running and that her name will be on the chart when you sue them for what happened when you did what they told you not to do. I'm sure it went something like, "I'm documenting that we told you not to...xyz." But you can't know why until Dec 22? That's bogus. I'd say, "If he wants me not to run, I'll need an appointment this week to discuss those test results."
Nanci, the tort grazing area sounds amazing! How do you keep track of the animal's feeds, etc? Do you have a chart, or keep a journal of it? How's the BF doing post-IM?
Tonight, the three hour tour. That is to say, staff meeting. In which my colleagues need to be "heard". Harmph. Where's the "just plain grumpy" icon? I've got my fingers crossed for "let's hold it to three hours, seriously, people!" :rolleyes:
BMO3, it's possible to run aerobically. I think as long as you can carry on a conversation while running, that's practically the same as walking!
Nice whale, CWR.
I'm several hours north west of Boca. 300 miles.
I'm not saying feed caps aren't cool- BF wears one all the time. Just Hugh Jazz caps with the big stand-up front with the bill not curled.
Ok I am laughing so much now tears are streaming.... my DH is gonna wonder what I am up to.
I wear baseball caps pretty much every Saturday and Sunday. Its a staple in my wardrobe.
Geezz, CWR ( I mean Weasel) who would have ever thought such a redneck lived in Alaska?? And I for one am da*med impressed with that catch!
DAR - please post details. I can't imagine what dating in the 21st century is like......
BOM3 - you handled that call like a lady. :)
(AFTERthought - would I look like a dork if I wore my baseball cap under my helmet?? I've been wondering about that but my hubby might think I was a 'tard if I did....)
I personally find my next neurology appt to be appropriate. Perfect timing to kill my holiday spirit.
Dr. KIJ, pretty much told me all I needed to know after the MRIs -with and without thank you. No bleed, so Dr KIJ was looking for clots and ordered the ban on having fun and the added bonus of a CCB.
The second or was it third (?) round of tests were to detect clots. I *assume* something was discovered. Why do I assume this? Two day later some very board person from the neurology dept at the hospital ask where she could phone in my script for coumadin-yippee another medication (we need a sarcastic smilie).
So, I am in no hurry to see Dr. KIJ again. Each time brings more medication, although I did recieve a lovely magazine today called, Stroke Smart AND an invitation to a seminar/workshop on improving my motor skills. Whoo Hoo. (Again I find I am in need of a sarcastic smilie).
BTW, oldest son and i had a lovely run. :cool:
Steep and Cheap had these: SmartWool Spectrum Twister Pant - Women's
I have been drooling over these and my size is gone, gone, gone! Ugh.
If anyone wears a L or XL, they still have some left.
BM3 sorry about Dr. KIJ. just do be careful and don't do anything you don't think you can handle. don't want anything to happen to you.
What's a FIB???
I know what a Cheesehead is, of course, being from MN.
I forgot to include in my trip report that we visited the Seabreeze Winery in Panama City Beach, and bought a case of all-Florida wine, (2 each of 2 reds, 3 whites, and blueberry, at $9.50/bottle - 15%!) and a take-home frozen ziplock bag of wine slushy! What a great idea!
My solar lights were cool while they lasted. Can't wait to see them tomorrow after a full charge.
I hate how it gets dark so early. At least the torts got to go out and graze while I was gardening.
Hey, Knot!! I too have cleaver love. I bought my first one when I learned to cook Chinese, but I almost never use any other knife now. One cheapy and two almost cheapies have lasted me my entire adult life until a few weeks ago when I treated myself to a very nice Henkels. (Yes, I know I often complain of near-death broke-ness, but this was on my JC Penney charge!) I especially like it for prepping chicken, where you can slice the breast into thinner whole pieces, like two or three times (help me, X, it would be sagittally in CT terminology!) and then into very thin strips. Can't do that with a regular knife. I find other knives very awkward. You can't pick anything up with them!
Do you know Ebert & Roper (well, the replacement for the one of them that is sick) gave Jackass Two two thumbs up??? I want to go see it again. We saw Saw 2. Too predictable.
I miss Steve Irwin.
The rivalry's gone on forever... Here's a blip from wikipedia on the Championships part of the rivalry...
and this from Wikipedia:
The Packers and the Chicago Bears have played each other more times than any other two teams in the NFL, and thus are often mistakenly credited as having the oldest rivalry in the league. The crosstown rival Decatur Staleys/Chicago Staleys/Chicago Bears and Racine Normals/Racine/Chicago/St. Louis/Arizona Cardinals, the two last existing charter members of the NFL, played each other twice in 1920, a year before the Packers entered the league. However, the Packers and the Bears have played each other many more times than any other 2 NFL teams and thus, while not the oldest rivalry in the league, it is the most storied.
Not much info on the Vicks... sorry. :D
i went to the gym here on campus and worked out. was walking around in shorts in the gym, outside and to dinner. either the fact that i'm stark white or the only one in shorts while everyone is in winter jackets, i got some odd looks.
I am so happy!! She ate a live mouse, that I had rubbed all over Mr. Toad. Mr. Toad is still suspicious of this process- he's sure that nothing good can come from it, but has been proven wrong so far. He even jumped into BF's wine glass (empty) during the scenting procedure...(But he was greatly rewarded by as many crickets as he could eat!!) Wow, what a relief.
Nanci
just what the dr ordered:

nanci so happy to hear that!!!!
Hooray Addy!! Poor Mr. Toad. If onlyt he understood how much he is helping out. I cannot believe I am so happy a snake ate. :eek: :D
Dang - pretty chatty tonight girls.
dar - It's a trucker hat, aren't they supposed to look stupid? I wear b-ball caps too, but not those silly trucker hats.
Nice mini barn door there cwr! I've seen pix of some monster halibut.
So glad to find out you didn't have to try tofu on Addy Nanci! Does this mean live meeses for her always? Mr Toad will not be amused.
MOI?? <feigninginnocence> I'm not a Weasel! How could you think that??:mad: No way would I hint at you being a redneck! (even tho I should know being that I live in redneck heaven and all....) Now DAR kinda sounded a little judgemental. I don't think I'd take that if I were you CWR ;)
Quite honestly I am VERY impressed. If I were to catch a 128lb fish that baby would be mounted on my wall!! :eek:
Yeh ok so I got a lil' redneck in me too. Sue me.
(Remember DAR - we want all the juicy details... not the boring ones....!!)
I wonder where Knot's been all day? Hmm...
So the Big Man on Campus read over my report from Friday night. He told me I did everything exactly the way I should've, so no worries. :D
Then he told me I didn't have to patrol in the pouring rain, because he looked out in the field and saw "Some old guy herding two of every animal into a boat". :D Charming to the last. ;) :o :p
Chyk- depending on the tastes of some, the juicy details might get the thread closed... ;)
See that KIT? Never question your gut. It rarely leads you astray. Glad your boss agreed.
Nanci - I'm so glad your baby ate! (Just don't show pics, k?)
{{{{BOM}}}} - I don't know about you, but I needed that hug. You are a tough chicka. You can handle this.
Nanci, I wasn't feeling very hungry at lunch so I rolled the chicken taco in toad....much better!!!
Dar I think I saw your guy on the "barechested men of bass fishing" calendar.
CWR, now *that's* a fish.
Where's Knot?
Ok, cycleops time now.....7 months till the AIDS ride.
