10 Ways To Tell You Might Be A Redneck Fisherman
You might be a redneck fisherman if:
1. You have a fish aquarium in your living room full of minnows.
2. The most common question at your family reunions is, "How're they biting?"
3. You own more than three shirts with cut off sleeves.
4. You've been asked at church to take off your fishing hat.
5. You won't stop at a rest area if you have an empty bottle in the truck.
6. You fish from the company pond during your lunch break.
7. You've missed at least one wedding, funeral and high school graduation for immediate family members because you were fishing.
8. You saved money on your honeymoon by going fishing.
9. You've been on TV more than once describing unidentified flying objects you saw while fishing.
10. You've spent more on your boat than on your education.
And you might be a redneck fisherman ... if you have three relatives who match these criteria.

I havent posted for a week, Sheldon...been in the hospital...
......................
Last weekend I was having trouble keeping food and water down.
My lap band had rotated out of position and was blocking the esophogus.
It caused a small ulcer in my stomach.
meanwhile I got dehydrated from lack of water which aggrevated my aortic stenosis and I ended up in the ER about 9 am Monday.
Edit: woohoo! Dr gave me percocets!
Edit: woohoo! Dr gave me percocets!
They admitted me after 6 hours of testing and poking and proddingand xrays and ct scan and bloodwork and bloodwork and bloodwork...
about midday tuesday they figured out what was wrong...my Dr didnt belong to that hospital...so they packed me off to another hospital and after 2 more days of money making tests and and endoscopy, scheduled surgery for friday morning.Being fed thru an IV sucks...I gained 10 lbs!
They fixed me up and sent me back to my room to recover for a couple days...saturday night I had a 102.7 fever so I got more tests and more bloodwork, bloodwork bloodwork!
they have no clue why I had a fever ( i am blaming the damn feed tube!
SO I finally got released today about 1 pm after a sleepless night praying my fever would stay down!
I posted this in another thread...so dont go looking for it here...

sounds like fun Jay!
It really is a lot going on, Sheldon...Im just so glad that I am NOT a diabetic on top of all that...the OR nurse thought I was because they were giving me insulin to offset all the sugar in the IV feed line...

I have had probs with my back because of accidents I had from riding ATV's or getting slamed into a steel gate by a pissed off cow,and falling out of a bran loff.I haven't done myself any favores.
Morning guys!!
Mark,a good night sleep does a man good..I hope you get to feling better soon.

Ya know Brad, one thing "they" say helps out your back, is doing sit ups, and those backward sit ups. It supposedly strengthens your muscles out, and keeps everything nice and tough back there.
