Welcome home Arty! (And I mean that most sincerely [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img])
(This will always be RTs home town, you know.) He can move, but he can never leave for good!
I, along with many others feel a deep sense of loss and sadness over something that shouldn't have even happened on the board.
Ifish will be a family site, now and forever. Families are made up of diverse and very different characters, and that is exactly what we have here. You can't always get along with everyone. You aren't made up of the same things.
Some people like me, some don't. So???
I like me, and that is what I want for me!
I don't like it at all sometimes, what happens here, what is said, directions things turn... But I can't control 906 people! Heck, I can't even control one dang fish half the time! So, it's up to you. You get what you put into it.
What will it be?
Sometimes it is a curse to have control of the delete button. Honestly, I haven't used it in ages, but it is a scary tool that gets you in alot of trouble!
This is YOUR board, people. I gave it to you, and I often don't even come here, unless there is trouble, or I have spare time.
It takes tons of time to run this site. This board is way outa my control!
I can only set a direction. And I hope you realize that when you post things, it may be offensive to some, so ask yourself... Is it necessary to use this word? Do I really want to hurt someone, or is there a better way to get things accomplished?
Also realize that you can't see the person, so it is much easier to slam them in writing. Much easier, also to be mistaken when you write something you mean one way, and it's taken another.
RT and I don't see eye to eye on alot of things, but he is one heck of a funny guy, and I have some great memories of fishing with him, tequila and all.
I forgive everyone here for anything you said that hurt me, and believe me, it did. But I understand that you must feel very deeply about what goes on here, and that makes me feel good.
We need a bunch of people that care about what happens to our fisheries, and we can do great things.... if we are united--despite our differences.
So! Have I sputtered enough?
Sorry, RT, for any hurt feelings you may have too.

Hey, thanks for the nice words Jen. They put a little tear in my left eye, as you can see up there in that left corner smilie. And 'back at ya' - you know what I mean [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img], I do care! ... I'm glad to hear you are OK with me still posting here on occassion. I'll try hard not to talk about any body parts or anything. In fact, I've started a 12 step program to withdrawing from human biology humor. And it's no picnic I'll tell ya! This one is an in-patient boot camp program, in case nobody hears from me for awhile. The first day today was a nightmare (I sneaked onto the campus computer after mid-night to get this message out of here). 127 other guys are in the group therapy classes with me. They make us look at full sized pictures of 4 'aunatural' figurines - male front and back, and female front and back. The "sarge", as we call him out of earshot, uses a pointer and points to all the parts up and down men's and women's natural biology. Scary! Flatout scary. He points and shouts in a thundering big voice "good part", "BAD PART", "well, I guess that part is OK if you DON'T laugh about it"! Of course several guys would continue to giggle and snicker when the sarge turns his back. Hard not to, but it just made him shout louder, and longer. He did this for over 3 hours! It finally took on a sureal atmosphere of insanity - 128 grown men being told what was bad to talk about. At that point I just started to lose it and got the giggles hard! And of course you know how contagious that can be. Here we were, dozens of us trying our hardest to stiffle the laughing. And you've seen what that does - we forced our mouths shut and that causes us to grunt laugh out our noses! Have you ever heard that from a few dozen guys at once? Sounds like a commercial pig farm at trough feeding time. Do they think they are going to brainwash us or what?!? I guess that's the plan. But I only think the ones who really want to change are going to come out of this program successfully. I'll let you know how I do. ... Speaking of body parts, you should see how long my nose is right now [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img] . - RT .....

How did you like that 'Hemmingway'?

Edit: On a serious note, I hope that since things have been resolved that all of you members will move on now and let go of anymore negative talk or debating. Thanks everyone. - Steve

Hey Steve what time is dinner at this place anyway? [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]
Anyway thanks to both of you! You are both great people and I mean that. I appreciate your freindship and all that you two have taught me. To every one else as far as we are concerned this closes this subject.
Thanks to everyone who kept their cool during this and am very please to have Steve post on here anytime.

So RT, did Sarge tell you about the status of armpits? I know that they are not considered immodest by any means, but you never hear them being talked about in polite company the way you'd hear about, say, ears, or noses. Just wondering.

Cute picture going around guys! One of the best!
Steve, you know me better than that.
Come on! Be fair...
I'm more fun on the river than you give me credit for.

And watch what I can say online!

"ANAL FIN" OH MY MY MY!
"SPAWN!" OH DEAR!

And don't forget the time we were on the river and after loosening up a bit you ask me a very personal and leading question...
"Jennie... I need to ask a woman this, and as we are so close, you are the perfect person"...
I await the seriousness of this particular question with a bit of unease... knowing full well the sexual nature that this question may entail..
"Jennie"... RT pauses in deep serious thought...
"Jennie.... um...... How long do you have to date a girl before......
before it is OK to fart in front of them?"
AGH!!!!!!!
