Life is Good
 

Sitting in my home office toward the end of a paperwork filled, slow horse-racing day with the news on. Russian plane crashes (awful stuff) ... Russian mathematician solves 100 year old math problem... That wacky Karr guy ... 7th grade teacher burns two U.S. flags in class (oh yeah, that was a good idea) ... U.S. Marines being involuntarily recalled, ... Max Mayfield predicts a mega-disaster hurricane (I'll take that after dinner drink now, thank you), ... Arabs/Israelis still not playing nice ... all the while I get to work at home with my dog a few feet away, ... and blow an hour of my day talking horses and other **** with like-interest people while my wife works hard at her office.

I'll make dinner. I'll walk the dog tonight. I'll clean the house (tomorrow).

I ain't got no complaints.

My life is good too. August is always my best month. Every parent is getting their childs car tuned-up for the off to college trip. Then of course I throw a few coupons their way for when the come back they get a discount and then if they get all A's and B's then when they are home for winter break they get a free oil change and winter tune-up.

indeed it is....

I think I have to agree. Been kinda down the past week or so as this whole ordeal has been tiresome. Unemployed and not knowing where your next dollar is coming from is a bit scary.

But....I am living, breathing and walking pain free for the first time in 18 months. The greatest job in the world is waiting for me (not sure what or where it is...but I am staying positive) for when I am able to return to work. 1 week from today I return to my doctor for what I hope will be fantastic news. I got a family that loves me and the prettiest little Jack Russell Terrier in the world that adores and worships the ground that her dad walks on...


Thanks B....your right....life is good....alot better than the way others live...no doubt. I needed that eye opener my friend.

Your ridiculous, i would rather be unemployed then deal with the crap that I deal with everyday

You need a kick in the face not an eye opener

Tom...I wouldn't wish the **** that I have been through on my worst enemy. Trust me...be thankful you have a job.

... and you are the MF king of Pinnacle matchups. But, WTF happened to Zukhov the other day? Thet's the one I blindly went with you on.

"In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king."

Good thread...

I will add, that life is good for me as well, I have been dieting, running, and lifting like a madman all summer, now the payoff, a week of relaxing and enjoying the beach, just hanging out with my wife. Get up, go for a run, sit on the beach read a book and then out for a nice dinner, I can't wait. The best part of the year is upon us, I love the Fall, the weather, Football. The Reds lead the wildcard and the Bengals look like they might make a playoff run again. We are all very lucky...

if you wake up in the morning then it is all good

thanks for the chance at another day and hope i can make it a good one

sts - i am a news junkie. i gotta admit, i am soo flipping intrigued by this karr guy and this case suddenly. it's sad, i need to get a life. i think i'll watch harold and kumar go to white castle again

That's fine, but you have it damn good, so you don't have a job, big friggin deal, better off. I am going to be like bruce and play the ponies all day, cook and play with my dog, we both should be complaining that we don't have that life.

life sucks, Do you want this jacket? I don't need it. I'm cloaked in failure!

Just jumped on the wrong one...sorry B. I am usually selective about the ones I choose and If I don't have a strong feeling, I skip the matchup....I will do better....promise:o

Not having a job wouldn't be so bad...but there are these things called BILLS!!!

Man, I was gonna give you 5-1 on who catches the biggest mother****ing fish. And I ain't never been deep-sea fishing. The only fish I ever caught were carp out of the ****ing Rouge River in Detroit.

And it ain't all good. Just lost my biggest client yesterday and I think Bubba's anal gland problem is flaring up. Dog just scooted like 20 feet across the living room. Funniest g-damn thing you can see. Unless it's on your rug.

That anal gland is with smaller dogs right? We have a 1 year old cokkapoo and the comedy thing that does that all the time, drives me nuts because I am used to our golden retriever

I am down with 5/1 on the biggest fish, you know GPK would bust out a shoe or bucket or some crap, what we need to do is go SHARK fishing, i am TOTALLY down for that, and don't care how much it will cost

Bubba's 60 pounds, so I don't know. When the vet reached in there and took out .... indescribable.

I'm way for the shark fishing. I'll start developing relationships with these people... http://groups.msn.com/SouthFloridaSharkFishingClub

Im ALL ABOUT deep sea fishing....love it. I do the all day sh*t...leaving at 5:30am and returning at 4:30pm

Just filled out a application and sent my resume to Kingsmill to the the Tournament Coordinator for the LPGA event that comes there.

Do you know who owns Kingsmill??? Can you say ANHEUSER-BUSCH????
Can you say MAD benefits....free beer every month...kick ass 401K...insurance....

Let GPK get this job....

get it done Bruce, I woudl be SO DOWN with a picture with my head in a shark's mouth, show all the ladies how tough I am

"The shark wasn't dead yet, I am just that strong"

All day is ok. We'd need the sattelite internet connection for Pinnacle and youbet. That's my only qualifier. get the job!

went deep sea fishin once on the gulf side. one of those half day deal. i was like, ok, ok, the reel is still spinning, ok how deep is this going down?

good time but i get motion sickness real easy

WOULD NEVER leave the boat, if we got a stripper/whore on board we would be ALL SET

Booze, chick, Pinnacle/Youbet, friends, strenous(?) fishing

It's starting to happen.... here's my email to Captain Sharky:

Dear Capt Sharky,

I'd like to explore going for either a 1/2 day or full
day outing sometime early next year. There'd be 3 or
4 of us. One guy says he is "All About" deep sea
fishing. The other guy probably thinks fishing is
ordering the "Whaler combo meal" at Burger King but
wants to fish for Shark. I'm somewhere in between.
We have no gear, so we'd need that. I checked out the
website. Is it just as simple as finding a date that
works and going from there? Any chance you have a
sattelite internet connection onboard?

Thanks.

Bruce

Have ya'll seriously never been offshore???

unreal....out in the middle of the Atlantic....2-2.5 hours from shore....nothing in view but beautiful ocean water, as far as your eyes can see. I recommend everyone do it once in their life....and none of that half day bullsh*t....night enough time to drink beer on the half day trips.

Did you use corn meal balls for bait?

OH, i so want in on this. Nothing like a day on the water drinking beer and fishing. Well that an
watching kevin fighting for 45 minuts to bring up a freaking boot.

Sh*t....your hick ass would N'Tknow what an ocean looked like if you fell in it. Help if you left the state of Indiana sometime....

[quote=Slewbopper]
No corn meal....throw some chum overboard (in this case, we can throw my chum Scavs over) and get the fish stiring.....then just use other bits of fish, etc....for bait.

There is absolutely no way you are going to get a response if you really sent this....I am the a serious fisherman, Grandparents used to have a house up at Lake Summerset (Rockford area) and I was bass/walleye/crappie fishing every weekend.

SO DOWN with this, it would have to be FOY weekend, that is when I am going to make my way down there

I wonder how many 'mother f'ers' I can drop in a half day period...SERIOUS odds on who is catching the biggest fish, loser will have to run bets all weekend while the winners straight chill

Sounds like your handling your situation just fine, by the way, I just got a new Jack Russell Terrier puppy, replacing my dear old friend who unexpectedly passed away, I love these dogs, they are truly the clowns of the dog world. He makes me smile constantly!

She is the first JRT that I have owned...and the best thing ever...love her like there is no tomorrow.

[quote=GPK]take the right guy, hide his dramamine, and he'll do the chumming for you!

i grew up saltwater fishing, it's a blast! that and hockey are the only things i miss about living down here now. have to settle for the freshwater...bass are ok. but nothing like fighting with what you can't see for what seems forever, and you're hoping like hell it's a big flounder, and then you pull up a shark. now there's adrenaline for ya!

Deb....we used to catch alot of yellowfin and dolphin.....amazing the fight a 25-30lb tuna will put up.

[quote=GPK] Tuna is the the most fun fish to catch off shore. Sail fish is the next on my list.
