Between getting my tusks pulled and the dogs nonstop walking I am gonna disappear.
Okay thanks for your input, you're of course welcome to reread it and add any additonal thoughts if any but you mostly covered the information I was trying to get. As for Boo, I didn't ask Boo because he has made it known that he's been without a human partner for some time. Plus I'm not entirely clear on what his situation is as far as if any of his family are still alive or not. It was mainly you being the only family member left of your childhood family that made me pick you to be the person to ask. That's because it felt to me like when my Mother became the last member of her family was when her desire to live longer seemed to change and it was just the year before when her older sister had passed leaving her as the only one left from her family.
I'm kind of surprised to hear you say you don't feel like fishing anymore since it seems like you've talked about fishing fairly recently in the past few months I've been active in this thread. Anyway thanks again for your response.

If your clock is like the older grandfather clocks, maybe give a look - see into and / or open the back and see if something may have dislodged the pendulum. Disrupting that movement might likely cause your clock to stop .
Can anybody tell me how many steaks you could get out of this bull? - <licks lips>
*alot is not a credible answer
Hello Gypsy, the beef ranch I lived on had a bull that weighed in at 2,800 lbs. The calves he produced were too big and he had to be eliminated from the herd. He was turned into hamburger, too tough for steaks.
There is a lot more to that that meets the eye. I love to fish one way and one way only. You probably won't totally understand......but here goes.
I am a catch and release fly fisherman after big fish......I will fish with a nymph if the conditions are to where I can site fish. Mostly I like a 3w rod using 6x tippet using a dry fly. Which makes me a snob by most fishing standards. I will stand on the bank of a river and wait for a hatch.......I chase hatches all over the region in catch and release water.
There is no place close to the house that I can do this......the closest is and hour and a half away. But, It is crowed every day.....
Plus the mountain roads near Denver are bumper to bumper.
I have a boat and there is a lake near me.....I get out with my son in law using bait.....not my cup of tea and it bores me.
I have a trip planned in Oct to a private lake for bass....yuk but they are big so I do it.
I just realized I am ranting......so I will stop. Ya gotta do what I do to understand......dying breed.....
Probably shouldn't have posted this.
I have looked but over my head. Guy coming wed....only $$$.If your clock is like the older grandfather clocks, maybe give a look - see into and / or open the back and see if something may have dislodged the pendulum. Disrupting that movement might likely cause your clock to stop .

We find being around life to be a positive thing.
Now the kids are all grown we have animals.
Short,intense life spans so we pack as much as we can in each day..........seems to help us.
Bubba still getting noticeably larger each couple days as is Baby.
Now in the 250# of dogchow a month club.
I wouldn't say you were ranting and while I don't really get into fishing of any kind I feel Like I understood the bulk of what you were saying. The only thing I would say I didn't really understand was the part about how the fishing you enjoy makes you a fishing snob. Like you said though, that's mainly because I would have to do what you do to fully understand.

I 100% get it.
I was a snook under a bridge with very heavy cover.........95% breakoff rates.
Artificial only most people say it can't be done but the midday monster is for real.
I did it regularly got close to the record a few times and just quit in 09 for a variety of reasons.
Something I started doing as a small child.
No snook in the rockies but just as well I have plenty to do.
Maybe one more time before I die if I find myself back in St. Pete........
Last time I was 188 I was nineDude hopped on the scale this morning and it said 188........usually it just says ouch.

Thanks for the reply, SubGirl.Ok way too much reading for me. Let’s just be glad that they left the thread and get on with things. Don’t really want to go thru the argument again. Hope your day is good and everyone else’s too
I had a need to communicate with OleReynard , and wanted to make sure he was aware that the hammering that happened to him was very likely not of his doing. We are all brothers and sisters here, so I did need to assure him so.
We all recognize that you are the self appointed female forum leader here, appropriately so, with a kitchen rolling pin in your hand. That being said, I do not attempt to regulate the number of words you post, nor your content. That is a controlling mechanism, that does not belong on an independent and free forum, composed of independent thinkers. That is attempting to stifle free speech. I respect what you say eminently. However, if something that I post is too long for you, or it for any reason is not to your current liking, you can always shuffle forward, and move on ..
Take The Best, And Leave The Rest. We should not be in the business of trying to control each others thoughts.
Hello Hempkat, ok I'll chime in.
I have what is called here in BC ,Medical Order for Scope of Treatment(MOST), it's basically my end of life wants. My MOST would specify, do not hook me up to equipment that would keep me alive if I have had a stroke, heart attack any illness that would require some one looking after me. Let me die a natural death.
It also eliminates the need for someone else to make these choices of life and death. I have seen families torn apart by people who think they know what's best for another, while another family member has a completely different outlook. They argue, they create divisions and the end of life also becomes the end of family.
For some reason one of my family members spent the last four years of their life suffering from numerous conditions that had no favorable outcomes. They suffered day after day and deteriorated until they were not recognizable as the person I knew them to be. It was not only the person with illness who was suffering but the people who had to watch the slow steady decline.
When the end of life is at hand, I will do my best to embrace it.
Hi DB, I slept an hour longer than usual today.@oldmaninbc will be getting up soon...
Okay, thanks for your input, we have something similar here in the US called a living will or sometimes refered to as an Advanced Directive which besically outlines what medical care one wants in the event they become unable to communicate their wants. In some cases when a person knows they'll be that incapacitated they'll give someone they trust what is called Medical Power of Attorney. That's less common though. Also as far as I know if the Living Will or Advanced Directive is done far enough in advance and it is determined that person was of sound mind, then the doctors have to go by that even if their is a family member that disagrees with it.
Damn Pute you just sound so normal to me, well, mostly normal
Yep, my MOST papers have to be gone over by my doctor and signed. They do their best to stay out of your choices, unless you ask them something. When I needed statistics on the outcomes of heat attacks and strokes she could give me the % numbers I needed to know. MOST has nothing to do with wills, it is strictly medical in nature. I don't want to suffer at the end of my life or hooked up to equipment that would keep me alive. I have and I am suffering already, I won't give up easily but on the other hand I won't suffer needlessly.
Each to their own.
