Gotta love a forum of such diversity that has zero politcally correct issues with my desire to wish all a very Merry Christmas. Thankful am I for all my blessings. Thankful am I for my newfound pack of pals helping and supporting me in my biggest life project to try and give something back to the world created by He whom we celebrate.
God, family, country.....oh yeah, and Santa.

I can't top all the good wishes so I'll just say "ditto" to them all and Merry Christmas and best wishes for a new year at the pond. As others have said too, keep our military men and women in Iraq in your thoughts and prayers. I have a nephew in Bagdad right now and he just had a close call the other day, several others wounded and one killed. I can't even imagine, I hunt and I fish but no one is hunting me.

Merry Christmas to all of you. I look forward to meeting some of you in Texas next year. Addtionally I am amazed at how civil this site is. I frequent a taxidermy site that makes this place look like the Brady Bunch in heaven. Hat's off to Bob Lusk and everyone else here that makes this site what it is.

Merry Christmas to all, I've been away from the computer for the last two months (butt glued to the deer stand) and have lots of PB catch-up to do. No cabin fever here as my CC are still on feed as of yesterday. Hope everyone also has a safe and happy New Year to boot.

OK, crank up that vortex inversion overdrive beaconing transducer and signal an incoming flux diversifying singularity fil….....whoops off topic!

I am thankful for the many people and the many blessings I have enjoyed in my life. I am thankful for every day that I wake and look out over the wonder that God allows me to enjoy.

This Christmas, I am most thankful for my loving wife Gail who is doing well after the first of two surgeries that she must endure. Happily the first and worse one is over!

God bless us, everyone, even Bighead Sally and the Furchock Glee Club.

Merry Christmas all! \:\)

I am thankful for health and freedom. I am thankful for family and for a pond full of fish.

I am willing to venture into an area that may stir strong disagreement. But I have found this group to be very civil and able to discuss differences without personal attack - as seen in the passionate posts about hunting.

I take exception to the sentiments expressed in Deb's Paul Harvey quote. I think the opinions expressed are widely held. But I take exception to some of them.

I feel there is a difference in religous activity as part of a government sponsored activity as opposed to private religous activity. This has been the basis of much controversy over these topics - state sponsored vs. private.

Paul Harvey says "Yes, and this is the United States of America, a country founded on Christian principles. According to our very own phone book, Christian churches outnumber all others better than 200-to-1." So I guess I am to take it that the majority may engage in bringing their religous beliefs into a state-sponsored activity, simply because they are a majority.

I consider myself a patriot. I worship the founding fathers and this grand experiment that we are living today. I feel they wisely excluded allowing any specific religion from government. I think they disagreed with religous majorities having intolerance for those that did not agree with them.

I think religous activity of all sorts is each citizen's right to worship however they please. I feel anyone has a right to pray to their god anywhere anytime. I do not feel it is appropriate to involve others in the worshiping activities as part of a state sponsored activity whether it be a football game, nativity at the courthouse lawn, graduation from a public school or religous placques on the walls of public buildings.

What amazes me is the concept that it is ok only for Christians to do these things. I am not a Christian but am descended from a long line of Christians - my ancestry can be traced directly back to the 1600's - my ancestors were British citizens in America for over 100 years before the revolution.

Consider this. How would it be if during state sponsored activities we have Muslim prayers over the PA? How about a display of Jewish religous icons on the courthouse lawn during Jewish holidays? If your answer is that there is some special priveledge granted to Christians, well I respectfully disagree.

One of this country's greatest strengths is the diversity we have in our population. We have cultural diversity and we have a constitution that provides protection for all minorities. We are all equal under the law, and that equality extends in my mind to the right not to be subjected to religous acivity coupled with state sponsored activities. And no, I don't want to listen to Muslim prayers at a high school football game and see a Menorah lighted on the courthouse lawn. I prefer all those activities be done in private, not public setting.

I am thankful for a the political freedom that allows me to express my views, knowing they are not in the majority, without fear of being arrested or worse.

I don't think Paul Harvey or anyone else means to make a non-Christian fell like a second class American, but that is how I took the sentiments expressed.

May the spirit of Christmas be with you all at this very special time of year.

I have the same philosophy as George: "Each and every day is Christmas Day for me - as well as a day of Thanksgiving." Happy Holidays to all.

James Wood; you may have started with nothing and still have a bunch of it but the picture belies your statement. And you have 2 of those somethings. Merry Christmas.

Dwight, all of our best to Gail. Merry Christmas.

AATW, my sincere thanks; I've never had the opportunity to read those perspectives from a non-Christian. Merry Christmas to you and yours.


It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.

A Christmas thought. \:\)

When one thinks of Grinch or Scrooge initially it is of bad , dark , empty , unfulfilled souls .

Theodor Seuss Geisel and Charles Dickens the authors respectively, of How the Grinch Stole Christmas and A Christmas Carol understood the power and promise of Christmas.

They reminded us that Christmas was about sharing , giving , thankfulness and caring among those who knew the season’s happy sprit but that ultimately , Christmas was about the redemptive power to change the heart and soul of man , one person at a time , from ugly and empty to shining and fulfilled. This was the power of the Christmas sprit , its call to change at the core and to empower us to reach our full potential to become the best that mankind represents.


The true lesson about Grinch.

“Geisel once received a letter from brothers David and Bob Grinch of Ridgefield, N.J., asking if he would change the Grinch's name. Friends were teasing them. Seuss responded, "I disagree with your friends who 'harass' you. Can't they understand that the Grinch in my story is the Hero of Christmas? Sure... he starts out as a villain, but it's not how you start out that counts. It's what you are at the finish." “


The true lesson about Scrooge.

Scrooge was better than his word. He did it all, and infinitely more; and to Tiny Tim, who did not die, he was a second father. He became as good a friend, as good a master, and as good a man, as the good old city knew, or any other good old city, town, or borough, in the good old world. He knew how to keep Christmas well, if any man alive possessed the knowledge. May that be truly said of us, and all of us! And so, as Tiny Tim observed, GOD BLESS US , EVERY ONE !


Indeed – God Bless us, every one of us – in the redemptive power of Christmas.

Cheers to everyone here on Pond Boss.

I hope that this holiday season meets all of your expectations.

It certainly is special that we can share our life experiences including successes, failures, and problems, here on this exceptional forum.


Excerpt from Robert Crais' "The Monkey's Raincoat:"
