@pertnear09 a near miss in many ways.

Since I hadn't brought a change of clothes I decided not to fish any more that day.

I bet that is what's wrong with the plumbing at my house. I'm sure there is plenty of
carp in the pipes, the house is 50 years old. Plumber coming Tuesday morning.Expect to
at the bill. OY!!

I would like to live for a little while in the 1800's!

I think that sometimes too but they were a lot tougher breed back then.

My other side of the family settled in Brenham, Texas in the early 1800's. Had a huge cotton plantation, cotton gin and warehouse, and had a hardware store to boot. After the War, they move to Ballinger, Texas. Dadgum carpet baggers and Federal troops made sure he didn't continue on as before the war.
Became a well known carpenter in the area. Built a rock house as everyone use to like to call it....it was dug out of the high side of the Colorado River! use to visit them when I was really young, loved going fishing on that river just below the house. Had a huge overhang, they called "flat rock". You could drive a car out on it, it was huge. Was my first experince at catching a gar, thought I had a prehistoric fish!

That's amazing. He must have used full sized trees! Reminds me of those old barns. The troops didn't want him to continue running the cotton factory and the hardware store?

So everything is BIGGER in Texas, must be hard to live up to!

You think, I agree. I would still like to try my hand at it tho maybe I can tough in myself up right now! Eating a kale drink every morning instead of coffee might help. I actually meant eating that's how thick it is.

right!?

Wife use to buy chicken feet and I was like seriously

But I never said any thing

Except for "dinner is different tonight"

That's why folks need a dog under the kitchen table. Years and years ago, a boyfriend's mother invited me to dinner. I hated the particular meal she made - not because of her cooking just because I never liked the particular food. She had 2 toy poodles under the kitchen table.

They kept begging so I 'd give them piece after piece and they took it. When I was getting up to leave, I saw those darling dogs, left every piece I gave them on the floor.
Even they would't eat it. That's why Cockers are so much better. They eat anything.

Fortunately she never mentioned the incident, neither did her son. One of my most embarassing incidents though.

I baked 6 dozen cutout cookies and 3 dozen molasses. I have to do 18 dozen cookies for our Parade of Lights Friday night. I wanted to do a trial run on the molasses as I’ve never made them.

I hope you'll share that molasses cookie recipe over on the baking thread DMC!

Nice start on the 18 dozen cookies you need
