Cal....one should never give up. I am saving up my money to buy a special lure....for that special fish. :)

L.L., my fishing box has been out of lures for years now. All I have is a bare hook. :)

or Co......to finish out my first part of response. Also....it certainly is possible the certain type of fish you are looking for is not in the current hole you are fishing at. :) Again....pack up ship. :)

Co....

Yes, indeed. There are times where the fish in a certain watering hole gets familiar with the lure you use and they wish not to bite. You bettcha....pack up ship and sail to a new water hole.


You got me on the fishing/angling bit. With my limited experience in life, I always thought they were the same. You may want to talk to sense into him.

Pepps....I am a man full of bad habits. I even pass gas in my sleep......hmm, wonder if that only makes me a man?

Hello SR,

Unfortunately for this example, yes. It can only be a watering hole...I suppose it could be a hole with water in it too.


Thank you for your comment.

Hello BH,

Thanks so much for your comment....bait to date....lol.


It just occurred to me how similar fishing was to dating and I think it was a fitting time given all our latest events.

Pepps...I sure did. It sounds like maybe his niece may want to put her foot down or find a new husband. But, I didn't want to go there. Thanks for dragging it out of me.

Hello Cat,

Yes. Wearing the proper clothes when fishing is very important. You need to make sure they fit right, they are clean, in style, matching, and freshly ironed if possible. Those fish can be really fussy at night.



Happy to see you back blogging again. :)

Yeah Pepps.....

Pepps...absolutely. It has happened to me once in life.



Nidi....yes, the canned salmon you can buy off your grocer's shelves or on the corner of the streets. I like fresh fish.

RE: Quotes of the day

Nice...thanks for sharing.

RE: Ebola

Hello DC,

I am bit of a skeptic when hearing things from the media. After all, we fought a war in Iraq on a "pack of lies."

We are told Ebola spreads with the transmission of human fluids. When I heard about all those doctors in Africa contracting the virus, I thought to myself, these doctors are suppose to be intelligent people. One would think they would be smart enough to protect themselves from this. Just maybe this virus is more easily spread than what we are told?

I hear from a friend, the reason for those doctors contracting the virus was because of a lack of supplies. Doctors had to reuse supplies, therefore, contracting the virus this way.

On my way out tonight, I just heard one of the healthcare workers who was assisting in treating the patient who died in Texas has now tested positively for Ebola.

I hope for the best for everyone.

RE: Japan

Wow Mimi....looks like a great time with some wonderful food and beautiful sites to see. I am jealous. :) The only concern I have is people driving on the wrong side of the street....looks dangerous to me.

RE: Still The Same Old Faces.

Hey Cat,

Good to see you active again on the blogs. :) It was not too long ago I was wondering where you went. I see now. Hopefully all is well in your life. With 81 lives left, I am sure we will be seeing you around for many years to come. :)

RE: Best Compliment you can say to a woman

There has been a lot of talk about auctions lately. Maybe I will come up with a way to make it work here. Heck, I put myself up for auction, I would be liable to owe somebody money.

RE: Best Compliment you can say to a woman

He has me beat. :)

RE: Best Compliment you can say to a woman

IFL, what if somebody complimented you on your long sleek beautiful legs? Would that do it for you?

RE: Best Compliment you can say to a woman

I think the best compliment is the one that fits them...and one they have coming.

RE: Can you take rejection?

IFL, it sounds like you also carry a set fangs and claws somewhere on you too.

RE: Factors that Make a Difference in Marital Success

Soc,

I think mental illness can be linked to your #8.

RE: Can you take rejection?

Cal,

I didn't mean a person has a big ego if they turn down somebody. What I meant is a ego can help deter the sour feeling of rejections. And self esteem can lead into ego. It was a bit complicated what I was talking about and I was all scattered with how to explain it. That is why I asked if I get my point across at the end. :)

But as far as rejection stories.....lol....thankfully I do not have many. My girlfriend of 13 years approached me. :) However, I do recall one time...it was a bit dis-heartening. Now, I let the chips fall as they may. So in other words, I rarely do any approaching.

RE: Can you take rejection?

Being able to accept rejection and one's ego play an important role as to if one can be okay with being turned down. If one gets "shot down" too many times, it may then start to effect their self esteem. Women get turned down far less than men do because very rarely do they approach men (at least in the traditional sense) Women get approached by men far greater than men by women. Therefore, in general, a woman's self esteem is higher than a man's in that department....which could lead to a woman with a huge ego.

So....with that said, your rational is somewhat flawed. You can (or a woman) can handle rejection far better than a man because the woman (in general) has had far more success getting into relationships than a man (in general). And, they are more confident with who they are because they have been approached numerous times in the past. This past feedback for a woman helps their self esteem. The same as the lack of past approaches from women to a man helps to keep a man's self esteem lower.

However, that does not mean a man needs to be mean when getting rejected. :)

I think I got my point across here?
