Wondering if anybody has any good news to share because the past 2-3 weeks has been a real kick in the stones!:smash:

Hey, I had an operation, it went well and now I can whiz like a racehorse.
Unless you’ve had to be catheterized you’ll never know how good a thing that is

My kid has submitted all his Eagle Scout paperwork and has his official board in 2 weeks.

And he is a better teenager that I was (by far)

Larry . I think its been a lot longer than that …………..I,m having a hard time with >>>>>[Enjoy what you have }

John ………… that,s great now all ya have to do is keep him in the house …….a kid that looks as good as he does & has smarts must have them lined up someplace :hidin:

My good news is I’ve been back to work again and my fingers are healing fine, kept them clean and they look great compared to a month ago. Doc says nails will come thru but could take 3 months. Other than that it’s good to be above ground.

PaulS, take it slow with those ribs.

John, good luck to Liam, but’s sounds like he doesn’t need it.

My wife and I have had our 19month old grandson (sans parents) for a week and I'm totally worn out from playing and laughing. Feels great.

Next week its off to N Caicos for some more DIY bonefishing. That should feel great as well.

I will be traveling to Syracuse Next weekend for yet another father/son frat weekend. Tim is a senior so I will get a reprieve until Mikey gets out of high school. It also feels great to survive a couple trips up north to ski and enjoy the outdoors without injury. Hoping for many more this season with the same result.

Nice - up there you're less than an hour from steelhead country. Does he fish?

Business is growing and doing well. It also seems as I've survived long enough to turn 29 in 2 weeks. I'm ok with this.

Congrats John. I have known Liam since he was little. I remember going to a Cub Scout breakfast his troop sponsored. God! How long ago was that?

paulie .we sent ><>:faga:

My wifes mom, who has lived with us for the last 12+ years, turns 99 next week. Born on a ranch in Texas many miles from any real town. She is still "with it" and doesn't miss anything that goes on.
Sits down with us every night for dinner and finishes her plate, then checks to see how i'm doing. She knows nights I go fishing and always asks if I caught anything! She loves fresh fish of any kind. Pretty sure she'll make 100...but we're making a big deal out of this one....taking her to foxwoods overnight......she will have a great time I'm sure.

RMarsh ……. really nice read & good karma for you all , especially having her with you these last 12 years ……. IMO .that,s a real form of respect .may you have a awesome year ><><>

Thanks Clammer...We moved them into our home back when her father got sick...sadly he passed away here with us several years ago. If she had been sent to a nursing home I don't believe she would have made it this far.... she is extremely well cared for...lucky woman. When I married her daughter 41 years ago, she wasn't that keen about me. Something about being of english decent, to her, meant a cold heart.

I wish you peace and contentment and a better year than last.

:lama: RM YA GETTING EXTRA POINTS x100 ,

mAYBE SOME DAY we,ll fish & have a fuster cluck .seems to happen when I go ><><>:fishin::fishin:

FYI …..I have confirmed /documated /insurance cases of four [ yes [4] lower unit replacement s:buds::deadhorse:

&& insurance cases for a [1] hit on a bridge ^ the scarest was hitting a [2] channel marker flat on November 15th 200? at midnight >…. I honestly don,t know how the two of us & the boat made it back in .But I did tell the guy I took with me when we got in that we were done for the season ………. Not sure if he fished with me again ..&& I don,t know if he even still fishes & he fished hard back then ><><>

Well the good news in this case was that we got there in time to deliver the mail to you. Otherwise it would have been a much longer tow up to Providence.....

Moving to cape cod was the best thing my wife and I ever did. Wifey loves loves loves her job, and I finally taught myself how to paint ;)

I'm gonna sell this thing for 5 figures then take my brother tarpon fishing, he is half way through chemo for burkitt lymphoma and feeling good.

And he hit the marker perfectly - damage was symmetrical thru the bow.




Yes, he still fishes.

I still remember the flip phone labeled “REALTOR” on a duct taped label that caused one of Clammah’s LU headaches.

Thanks Ray....Her mom says she remembers every significant event of her life in detail, very sharp, clear mind. Onward to 100

In other "good news" my son just got engaged to a really great girl!!
It was a two hour one way drive for them to see each other so he asked if she could come and live with us and we agreed.
Now we have grown to love this girl as if she were our own daughter. Find myself worrying and praying about her well being. Whole new dynamic with her in the mix along with my MIL

Teaching her to fish has been a lot of fun.

Now there’s some good news :-)

Happy for you

Good news? I'm 65 this year. Just had a colonoscopy - clear, return in 2 years. Dermatologist exam - clear, 10 years since melanoma removal, no prob even with all the fishing and golf (sun block).
Primary care? Lost 23 pounds, BP 120/70. Cholesterol way low.
Changes diet to minimize carbs and dairy. Lots of summer veggies and proteins. Lots of 85% dark chocolate. A scotch during Bruins games.
Lost the weight in 6 weeks.

Anyway, Bigfish was looking for good news and I guess that is what I have...

Can't wait for spring.
Best to all.

Peg lost her younger sister, mother and two close friends this year to cancer, so the good news is somehow she made it through and agreed to leave on an extended vacation to heal and recover. We are looking forward to a couple warm weeks in Hilton Head and then a couple in Sarasota FL. Looking like mid 70's this coming week here in HH, so it's golf in shorts and walks on the beach, dinners out and lots of beer.

Woo hoo,,, wet a line,,, be safe

I'm officially unemployed as of friday! I know at first this doesn't seem
like good news but the job has been killing me with stress for the last 4 years and I've had too much clouded judgement to leave......so yeah....this IS good news! Here's to a poorer but happier future for me!

Jenn, change is good! Good luck with whatever you decide to do! No fear!!

Good luck, kiddo!

What are you looking to do?

Thanks :) still not sure what I want to do when I grow up! Little scared but excited for the chance to figure it out! I've been in Client Services for the same (but changed hands) company for over 16 years....not so sure I'm ready to jump back into the same sort of thing. Feeling a little burnt out on being a CS person :(
