If that doesn't work, I give them my meanest, sternest look and tell them I'm German and my blood is made of pickle juice. That does work.

Thing was, we went to the big pond in my grandpa's hog lot. My boy cousin got stuck with baiting our hooks, and getting our lines out of the overhanging tree limbs. After he got fed up with us and left, my girl cousin and I fished until we ran out of worm.<br /><br />Hogs are kind of mean. I learned that I really shouldn't go fishing in the hog lot unless I was with somebody slower than me. My girl cousin could jump a fence like an Olympic hurdler. Good thing the loading chute was near enough for me to make my escape!Valhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13025832536749983018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3677172151591739382.post-15505890970174985942017-06-10T13:57:52.124-07:002017-06-10T13:57:52.124-07:00Hey Rick, I think every fisherman has or he's ...Hey Rick, I think every fisherman has or he's not working hard enough at it.Jimmyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00079471254681821763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3677172151591739382.post-58680415069674530222017-06-10T13:55:45.873-07:002017-06-10T13:55:45.873-07:00Hello Denise, I can just imagine the look on your ...Hello Denise, I can just imagine the look on your Dad's face dripping wet with his glasses at an angle, I know it wasn't funny to him until he saw you laughing, then it was hilarious.<br /><br />Thank you for sharing this memory and for your kind words.Jimmyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00079471254681821763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3677172151591739382.post-82608208267079657242017-06-10T13:50:15.349-07:002017-06-10T13:50:15.349-07:00Hey Bijoux, I remember having years where the tick...Hey Bijoux, I remember having years where the ticks were a problem, they are really hard to control too if I remember correctly, I know that I had to spray the whole yard in addition to treating the dogs.<br /><br />The vet offers a pill that is supposed to control them for a month, it's a little pricey but worth it, Dixie came home from the groomer with fleas we got one of those pills and in a few hours the fleas were gone.Jimmyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00079471254681821763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3677172151591739382.post-32818041122758728432017-06-10T13:44:10.148-07:002017-06-10T13:44:10.148-07:00Hey Patti, I'm going to suggest swimming lesso...Hey Patti, I'm going to suggest swimming lessons to Larry for Isaiah, just in case keeping him on dry land becomes an issue ha ha<br /><br />You are lucky to have a place with no mosquitoes, one bite in 12 years is a good record.Jimmyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00079471254681821763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3677172151591739382.post-22837743072034608482017-06-10T13:40:18.618-07:002017-06-10T13:40:18.618-07:00Well said Joe, fishing is a great thing to do with...Well said Joe, fishing is a great thing to do with the grandkids, and it does keep them out of trouble I'm planning on taking my grandson when he comes to visit in a few months.Jimmyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00079471254681821763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3677172151591739382.post-75386194483337957712017-06-10T13:37:35.483-07:002017-06-10T13:37:35.483-07:00It really was a good day and Isaiah is a good kid,...It really was a good day and Isaiah is a good kid, I think we used all my spray though, bug loving birds would have been a welcome site for us, glad you have them at your house.Jimmyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00079471254681821763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3677172151591739382.post-14941789603417349492017-06-10T13:33:58.201-07:002017-06-10T13:33:58.201-07:00That's a good idea Stephen, if they find you t...That's a good idea Stephen, if they find you tasty you have to make yourself less appealing, I try to keep a can in my tackle box, it's easy to forget that when you go fishing and that's when they find you.Jimmyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00079471254681821763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3677172151591739382.post-42036517619343616002017-06-10T13:31:02.867-07:002017-06-10T13:31:02.867-07:00Hi Delores, I told him if he fell in again that I&...Hi Delores, I told him if he fell in again that I'd have to fish him out with the net, he laughed on that one.<br /><br />I have known a couple people like your Grandad who never get bitten, always thought it strange when everybody but one guy gets it.Jimmyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00079471254681821763noreply@blogger.com
