Right?! I once caught a fish so big...(sm)

In Reply to: So what's wrong with that? - Deep south
that I wanted to run back to the house to get the camera or at the very least an eye witness, but was all by myself. This fish I caught, it was a carp, which is a basically a goldfish on steroids. This thing was as big as a 5-gallon water bottle--no word of a lie. It actually broke my fishing rod.
So there I was, down below the highway with my huge catch, and I had no way to contain the thing and didn't want to kill it by taking it for a walk with me. So, I did what any insane person would do. I unhooked my bra, took off the bra, strung the straps through the mouth, out the gills, and attached this "tethered" but quite safe carp to a sapling that dipped into the river.
Mind you, this all took place in the CITY (I so totally don't belong in city) and I had to scramble up an embankment and cross a 2-lane highway, while holding down my flapping boobies, to get back to the condo to get my eyewitness.
My husband was home and he got to witness the whole spectacle. No camera though...all I have are my memories, which I am told are degrading, as my fish gets bigger and bigger every time I tell the story.
Long live us rednecks!

do you know where the fish is coming
from? Kind of scary after watching some consumer reports. The state of Alabama is one of the few to have a fish inspector and he will not order fish in a restaurant in his own state! You don't even want to see where they catch fish in China or what they are fishing in. That is being sent over here. Good luck.
I can't make fish. I don't care for it that much and sm
every time I make it, it tastes fishy, which I hate. no matter what I do, it just turns out badly.
OMG. I have never heard a fish story like that
I still have my christmas lights up on my front porch.
Can't stand a limp fish
handshake . . . my 8th grade English teacher insisted that she would not pass anyone who would not learn how to correctly shake hands, and consequently I have had more than my fair share of comments regarding the strength of my shake :)
When other females offer the limp fish, I'm pretty much disgusted by it.
My vet is recommending EPA (fish oil) supplements
Has anyone tried these for their pets? Have you seen any improvement?
The fentanyl helped some. About an hour after we placed the patch, his spirits improved quite a bit and he was able to get around okay, once he got up (which was difficult). Of course we restricted his movements but as long as he was walking, not running or jumping, we let him move around.
This morning he is not able to move around a whole lot. Just a few feet from one room to another.
So is there any real chance that the EPA supplement will work? The vet seems to think so. Anyone with direct experience?
Italian Christmas Eve with fish.
There aren't a lot of us, so we won't do the full-on 7 fishes, but we'll probably have some mussels, some shrimp, pasta, maybe some baked white fish.
For Christmas, probably ham, because I can serve that hot or cold and we can relax and not stress.
to grill steaksand fish is in the
George Foreman griller!
What is the best temp to cook fish at in the oven. nn

Ol' Charlie the Tuna was in the fish section.
I used to have a Charlie the Tuna watch when I was a kid, and so when I saw him there I snatched him up!
I still think you're ahead of me, I STILL can't figure out how to get the smileys in my posts!!
Oh, I see now you got it to work! Now you ARE ahead of me!
Reminds me of a lady allergic to a certain fish, well
she went to eat dinner one night and they had ran out of the fish advertised in the front line and substituted the one she was allergic to. She got, ate, almost killed her. My question is if a person thinks might be or might not be allergic to a thing, why take a chance on it? Same with question of dog allergy to aspirin. If possibility, sure wouldn't give to arf-arf.
You silly bunny, oh course you can't make fish
its already made. Ha, ha!! I just had to do that after all these threads that have gone on and on and on. We will next be handing out boxing gloves.
Bunch of cold fish on this posting.....nm

That is a good question - white fish?
Have some in the fridge, don't know what to do with it. The old standard (baked) doesn't seem to be working up my appetite. Any advice?
Call your local fish and game wardens, they

Caught in the act sm
Sounds like a really selfish person to me. Don't let it get to you, I can't imagine living with someone who would do this with a busy household at that time of day and in what I think was personally degrading to you. Where are his family values anyway and his pride, never mind yours! Don't accept being talked down to or treated as "less than." Perhaps you had no place else to go, so you vented to us, at least you got some support. Sounds sick to me.Yours sounds like a normal reaction to a very distasteful situation.
My husband puts fish he catches & sodas in the same cooler! (nm)

I had a cat who once caught a bird...
in mid air. I saw it with my own eyes or never would have believed it.
Caught the rhyme!!! LOL...nm

If they get caught, off goes their water!
Have my shutters open this morning and I see my next door neighbor starting to water her lawn. We are in a drought really bad here and the water is being rationed, so to speak. No one waters on Sunday (and Sunday as I write) and we have an odd, even day system when we do water through the week. Atlanta, which is close by, has gone to a 1 day a week watering system. Some places in my state have turned off water to people caught abusing this. I remember in the 80s we had such a drought our showers were limited to 5 minutes. I would hope it does not get that bad again.
i got caught in the middle
of a redneck area. needless to say, I fled the area and the boyfriend. too much for me. I'm a yankee, and so is he, but he was use to the so called rednecks. I do love the more cosmo parts of south. Can't help it!!
I only caught a bit of the interview, but - sm
she looked almost like she was on drugs... She was very stone faced and did not seem to show any emotion. I do not know, just take the baby and leave seems to e a better idea than shooting him... Just my opinion
Ah, caught the peek up there. nm

Caught husband looking at wfm ads (sm)
After he had used the computer in the history there was a list of women seeking men ads that he had been going through. I waited a day and then asked him this morning if he was looking for someone else....he said "Ummmmm, not necessarily." I said, "No?" Then he said, "there are none available." I said, "I would hate to think that you would do anything risky." and he said, "I haven't found anyone risky." So I said, "then you are looking?" and he said no, and then started to deny that he was looking, etc. We have been having some marital problems and I am not completely surprised, but was asking him to be honest with me. Anyway...how would you react?
I caught about the last 15 or 20 minutes. Can't hardly
wait until next week. Maybe House and Cuddy will finally get together.
Check a few recipes on foodtv.com to get an idea. Moistest fish is covered

Great frozen fish - halibut, blue hake, fillets; sm
I also use the packages of veggies like asparagus spears - next best thing to fresh. You don't have to use the premixed things, just buy single items that you'd like to keep on hand. Good selection of low-fat frozen yogurt and ice cream items. And I ditto the poster below about the bagel dogs - great snack food on the run!
Hey, nice to meet goombas here! Love the fish tradition Christmas Eve!

I can understand how you can get caught up in the excitement (sm)
... those exciting feelings of a new love. I'm sure you have had those same exciting feelings about your husband at some point. Life happens and those feelings tend to dull. You need to put your time and energy into reigniting those feelings with your husband. I really like the teachings and concepts of Willard F. Harley, Ph.D. You can check out his web site at www.marriagebuilders.com. There is a lot of information there that can help you. He has written a great book (among others) "His Needs, Her Needs: Building an Affair-Proof Marriage."

Caught my index finger in the
front door storm door this afternoon. One shriek wasn't enough, so DH had to hear a second one. I iced it and elevated it and still it throbbed. Feels fine after a hydrocodone though, and I can type! I'm glad I'm off today though so I can rest it. Whew, that was close.
Oh, and when I shrieked, DH was sitting at the computer desk. He tried to get up so fast he banged his ankle, so now he's limping.
We're such clutzes.
Glad you caught that quickly and put it out
And that nobody was hurt.
Thanks for the reminder!
They caught the guy from the sex tape!! He admitted who he was!!!
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20071016/ap_on_re_us/sex_tape_suspect
The guy who raped the little 3 year old girl was caught - he got pulled over for something else, confessed who he was and said he was tired of running!!
I caught the blues when trying to eat the red meat
because husband is a health food junkie and I think sometimes he expects the same of me. I love steak but hardly eat-are shrimp bad for someone who has high cholesterol? He eats fish- I don’t care for- fish is fish is fish to me- all taste alike except for the shrimp with the sauce and horse radish in it- yummy! My physician when I mentioned about my cholesterol told me to tell hubs to leave alone- mine was excellent and I could eat most anything. So there, man of the house!!
I see your answer in post below me; so he did not tell you, and he would not have; he got caught

Does your city have a fine if you get caught?
Does your city have a fine if you get caught? I don't know about mine. I don't think there's one, but I could be wrong.
ALBANY, N.Y. -- The New York state Legislature has given final passage to a bill that would charge $250 for pet owners who don't pick up after their dogs in some parts of the state.
Dog owners currently have to pay $100 if they don't pick up the poop. The change would apply to the five boroughs of New York City, Albany and Yonkers.
The Assembly passed the bill Wednesday and the Senate had already passed it.
A spokesman for Gov. David Paterson said the governor will review the measure.
Mine was caught at an older age,
unlike the listing above and we have so much in common. He makes me laugh and a big love, just want to take a little bite of him. Oh, that is the cougar I guess coming out.
Caught between pride and terror
I became a mother in 1970 and have been actively mothering non-stop ever since. Now my baby daughter (who is actually 17 and a senior) has received acceptance from two of the four colleges she applied at, with the other still undecided, and it finally became real - - - She's actually going to leave! She is not only my youngest but my only daughter and she and I have been inseparable all her life. I can't begin to imagine not knowing every facet of her life, down to where in her messy room I can find a particular item of clothing! My oldest son is 38 and long since married and I only see him every few months. I guess I'd see him more if he had kids but unfortunately it's not in the cards for him and his wife.
I think I'm kind of going into mourning, thinking of not having her here. I'm so proud of her, and thrilled that she knows what she wants to do - study anthropology and travel the world and make a name for herself. If anyone can do it, she can! And I'll continue to live vicariously through her somewhat, but I know it won't be the same. The idea of having to do the "well, how have you been - - - good, good, how are you - - - what have you been up to - -" stuff that I do with my son terrifies me. Is is possible to maintain a really close relationship with a grown child even over time and distance? I mean really close? We're taking a trip to Canada for her graduation gift, just her and me, and I'm afraid I'm going to be crying the whole time!
Thanks for listening.
You are caught, you assumed and completely wrong!!
I love it, have been a stay at home mother, working mother, everything rolled into 1- I never saw that much trouble with it and I do not really remember hitting the playgrounds to be interviewed for how hard of a life I had. What a joke.
Caught my housekeeper red-handed stealing from me
My household is small, just hubs and myself (with 2 pets). Hubs went out of town to visit his brothers, left early Saturday. I got my housekeeper of say the past 15 years or more to come clean up for me yesterday. Knowing that I was having a doctor's appointment today I had laid out fresh underwear to put on (this is unusual because most times I am without my undergarments but thought I better wear panties today). I put them in my first dresser drawer Saturday night, went and picked her up Sunday, started to lay out all my clothing Sunday evening and my undergarments gone. I am literally ticked beyond belief. I am about to lose a housekeeper- my husband told me for sometime that things were going missing such as things he bought, toilet paper, some forks and spoons, things like that which I normally do not see. If I let her go, I have to do the work myself (she does washing besides housework) but yet I cannot let this pass. Any ideas? I do not think I would be able to get anyone for what I pay her but cannot stand the fact of being stolen from - especially since if she needs something she could ask and I usually get for her. Ideas??
I was a total cougar til my prey caught ME, lol!
My boyfriend is YEARS younger than I am. Started as a one nighter that turned into a 4-day sleepover...I thought he was totally hot but also totally dumb as a pet rock.
Fast forward 2 years...He's sitting on my couch watching the news, and we've been living together 1-1/2 years. He's still totally hot, but not at all dumb as I had initially suspected and, in fact, handles our finances, etc.
Yeah...being a cougar totally rocked, but it turned out even sweeter than I expected when my prey caught ME!!!
Remember Me? Caught Between Pride and Panic?
Well, my daughter has been accepted at her #1 college choice, and we're going to the Accepted Students day this weekend.
In her Creative Writing class in school, they were assigned the task of summing up their Senior year in six words and then to illustrate it. What she came up with blew her father and me away! I hope those of you who have had children leave home will get an inkling of the emotional impact this had on us. Suffice it to say, there was not a dry eye in the house! See below.
Caught him when her husband called my house to ask for her -
My husband introduced me to J. We became good friends. When I was working and could no go places, she and her son would go with my husband and my children. We stayed at each other's houses all the time, went places together (me and her/us and her). I noticed her husband never would do anything with us or hang out, but she said he was just antisocial. Eventually she and her husband moved away because of a transfer and me and my husband separated. Then one day her husband called and asked me to speak to J. Long story short, my husband and her had been seeing each other even before he introduced us to be friends and her husband thought that I was just a front and not really married to my husband but was just a third wheel willing to cover so that they could be together whenever they wanted to hang out...
That Iranian president is a real laugh riot. Caught

I watch both CSIs, caught a typo on a Vegas episode, they spelled Novolin wrong! LOL. nm
