There is an element to the marriage discussion beyond give and take, commitment, and intimacy that is often neglected (no, it isn’t Musky-love  ). Spouses have to genuinely like each other. Truly liking each other can change "give and take" to "give and give". Somewhere along the marriage time line; the give and give, the genuine liking, and the love of each other it is possible that you and your spouse become soul mates. You won't actually know when you become soul mates. You’ll know that it happened when for no apparent reason you will think to yourself, “I can’t imagine life without her/him”. I am now turning off my mushiness switch for the duration of the weekend…  .

Did all y'all see American Pickers a few weeks ago when Frank bought a "musky" from a taxidermist for their retail shop. It was a large northern pike. I pictured several hundred Pond Boss subscribers jumping up and yelling at the TV.
Okay, you had to be there.

Let me add a mild translation to Dwight's comment as follows:
Gail (Dwight's much better half) realizes that while her husband is a total freak and computer geek, he's really caring and cuddly. Hence the give and take. Plus, he can fix her computer like nobody else can.
Excerpt from Robert Crais' "The Monkey's Raincoat:"
"She took another microscopic bite of her sandwich, then pushed it away. Maybe she absorbed nutrients from her surroundings."

Okay, you had to be there. I was yelling!  I even tried to see if there was a quick way to send them a note telling them that it wasn't a Musky, but couldn't so I gave up. That kinda taints the show for me, if they make that mistake, how many other mistakes have they made that I didn't catch?

No further comment!, but it is a stupid real show, go Think! Kinda interested to find out if one of the Moonshiners is in the slammer. Get real, on A&E, Evidence! Like Video and verbiage!!! Anyway, one whacked himself looking at 18 months, after 72 years of practicing his craft and skills. Kinda selfish to do your own self in!!!

If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.

How in the world did a thread on fish mounts turn into a marriage advice symposium ???? Talk about the ultimate hijack.
That mag cover is priceless - ROFLOL !

I don't know Eric but we all know it happens all the time here. That's what makes it so fun around here at times.

What I've learned from this thread so far:
1) Cecil's talents are truly extraordinary.
2) Alton, ILL. may or may not be the home of the best bar in the midwest.
3) The glass in the case that houses the fish diorama at SDSU is cleaned regularly.
4) Not every wife appreciates a deer mount hung on the living room wall.
5) jludwig has a dry basement.
6) AP's cousin bagged a 13 pointer.
7) Peepaw likes to fish for giant Muskie while eating Chinese food.
8) maashkinoozhe is younger than me.
9) ewest is a connoisseur of fine writing skills.
10)When Dwight and sunil mention intimacy, It makes me uneasy.
11)Frank and Mike can't tell a musky from a pike.
12)JKB takes a dim view of reality television.
13)Back to Cecil, who has questionable tastes in magazines.
"Forget pounds and ounces, I'm figuring displacement!"
If we accept that: MBG(+)FGSF(=)HBG(F1)
And we surmise that: BG(>)HBG(F1) while GSF(<)HBG(F1)
Would it hold true that: HBG(F1)(+)AM500(x)q.d.(=)1.5lbGRWT?
PB answer: It depends.

I don't like to fight! My Wife does.
However I have found a couple of statements that can escalate a disagreement into a full scale blowout.
1. feeling a little hormonal today?
2. Honey, I respect your feelings but really believe you could use some professional help.
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.

It is one of the few shows worth watching. They are pretty knowledgeable about bikes and 'cycles.

I think we should expand this list to help the younger guys who are newlyweds or thinking of marriage. 3. That's womens work. 4. I decided to spend the money on a UTV.

The one I don't say anymore is, "It could be worse." For some reason that doesn't make her feel better.

I work like 5 miles from fast eddies.. Good and bad when it comes to the ball and chain.. She gets mad I go to fast eddies after work, she's not mad I go to fast eddies after work  Well, I'm not in the market as of right now, but it would be nice to know how much of my annual-new-lures fund i should be saving if i do want it in the next year or so. Thanks for the offer to drive it down. And if you do come through st louis, you must take a small detour to Alton, IL to hit Fast Eddies. You haven't lived until you've chased down a hot chick on a stick, two big elwood on a sticks and a fat eddie burger with beer that is kept a half a degree above its freezing point. they dont joke when they say it is the best bar in the midwest. According to alton brown on the food network or whatever channel you find him on, hot chick on a stick are the only hot wings in the world that "are worth eating." Edit: My new years resolution was diet and exercize. I appologize that every thread i comment on comes back to food. I am desperately hungry. Always.

Cecil I have to agree with you on the "it could be worse" scenario. I've found the hard way that sometimes all I'm meant to be is a pair of ears to listen and strong arms to comfort. I ruin/complicate things when I open my mouth...
Words have the power to both destroy and heal, when words are both true and kind they can change our world...
