FISHING!!!!!!!!!
All the pill bottles when emptied make great fishing tackle bottles.
Labels like. 1. small hooks 2. sinkers 3.big hooks 4.swivels 5.small rubber worms 6.orange jig heads 7.green jig heads There is no end to the fishing use of pill bottles!!
And they float if you tip over in a Kayak!!!!!

That's a great idea with the pill bottles...even if they don't make you feel better, if get something for money,,,,,,

It forced me to slow down and re-prioritize. For instance, instead of running (which I HATED), I was forced to walk (which I found that I LOVE...so many beautiful things to see on a walk!). Or, instead of pushing myself to clean up dishes after dinner, I realized that it's ok if they sit in the sink until the next morning. I've been learning to set boundaries also.

That's right, fitness - I forgot about that aspect - the nice and slow and leisurely appreciation of my surroundings while everyone else goes racing for the next streetcar or bus coming by.
Maddog, is it ok if we send you pill bottles that aren't empty? That happens when the contents of the bottle and I are not compatible. Do you think full pill bottles would sink in case your kayak tips over? Then I would know not to send them.

Taking a picture of you with your fish and knowing no matter how rough you feel, YOU look prettier than it does!

I think like Randibear, solitude might be on the horizon for me, but for now....
learning (more) patience! and....
empathy for people that I used to just call dumb or lazy, aw. I am so thankful I have that empathy now.

The fish in the lake clean you when you get in the water....must be because it has been so long since one has had a bath??

my husband had a friend that invented a lure from a pill bottle once.... big names wanted it- QVC, Mustad.... then the slimy *beep* *beep* did one over on us. gggrrrrrrrrr.... there went tens of thousands of our hard earned dollars!
I wouldn't mind if someone came up with a similar thing and smoked him in the market! hint hint

Best thing lyme does for me is make me so humble.
Makes me quit doing things on time.....
oh wait,,,is that the reason I hurt so bad today???
Was shingling my roof 2 days ago and forgot to quit till I hit the top.
Oh well,,,it has rained 4 times since already.
Now for the other half.
Least I am smart enough to do half at a time!!!
The easiest part is the actual shingles,,,the hard part is the structure remodel before hand(without getting it wet)
Anyway I am taking my 165th anniversary off tommorrow!!!
Its funny I should have lasted this long!!!
Havent been fishing for so long forgot when. Told somebody its because need someone to EAT what I catch.
Catch and throw back doesnt seem right. My grandparents would do a roll over if I did that.
They lived on a solid diet of CARP and bull heads. IF you can do that you can survive.
Guess I gotta go to work. Oh one more. Lyme makes me appreciate store closing time more and more each day!!!

Don I have ate fish all but a few days for three months.
I caught 70 speckled trout,30 crappies,8 perch, a giant bigmouth bass, a 22 inch catfish,12 bluegill,4 sunfish,2 shell crushers, I have lost count now.
Today was 4 bluegill and a perch.
Why does the bed of my truck smell like fish!!!!!
Why does my kayak smell like fish?

Ok Steve. Hard to make me speechless, but you managed! Then, just when I`m ready to face the truth and say that doesn't look like me at all, Just Don chimes in with another cutie. Thanks guys!
You do make me laugh and that is good!
It reminds me too of a conversation we once had here years ago when we talked about playing golf and I said it was hard to imagine girls being able to play as well as men because they often had a couple obstacles in the way.
THAT was the conversation this picture Steve shared should have been attached to! HA!
Or, Steve dear, it could have been put on the post with the blue foot birds. Are you following my drift?
But, it was nice to think that was put here anyhow, and my name was attached to it. Thank you.

Oh, and two more things...
Just Don, your birthday tomorrow? Have a happy one and stay off the roof!!!!
Maddog, you`ve got me buying fish from the grocery store to eat as it is, stop making me crave more!!!
I do like that tackle pill bottle thing. I generally use bottom rigs and was thinking that could also work. It is hard, especially in a moving boat and when the sun is setting, to tie a line to a hook.
And there`s nothing like worms and fish slime on your glasses!!! Talk about smelling fish!!!

One important difference Steve,,,,that guy has a brain,,I may not.
Was going to climb back on the roof today and take advantage of COOL weather.
Was still in lower 40.s with 30 to 40 mph wind and resulting chill at noon. Froze me out.
CAme home after work and slept all day,,,had a terrible night last night when right arm throbbed all night
Dang old age!!
I was 10 years old when they shot dear Abe. The war to end wars,,,war between the states was a bear.

Fishy! Steve, you`re too much fun!
Just Don- sorry you had such a rough night. That cold weather eats me up and spits me out too. Ugh!!!!
Just chatted with someone sort of up you way who is DONE, DONE, DONE with it and they are moving this summer to the south- not willing to take another northern winter. Smart one!
And just in time for hurricane season!
Maddog- all the lemons in the southern USA won`t be enough to get rid of the fish smell the way you are going! Enjoy!!!
