Yes, I'm in Cajun country. We do love to fish here.

Also, I'm married. But, he doesn't fish. (Married a Yankee, can you believe it?)

Sending you an e-mail that might mend that broken heart.

I thaught it was going to be this song.
It even has sub titles in case you are English impared.That is a problem here in CA.

I think I have to start writing a country western song.
Last summer I lost my pickup,my dog died last aug.,I fell in love with a married woman (after a post on the internet- for about 30 seconds) and I've been walking around in the pouring rain all night(I'm a security guard working graveyard shift).
THEN I find out she likes Yankees-I was born in Mass. raised in CA.
AND she has a sense of humor and likes to fish too.Gotta work the yankee stuff in and Fishing too... LOL
But she stays loyal to her husband. :(

Just woke up and strted work.Thanks for trying to mend my brokem heart.Got a sister? :)

Hey Smoke,

Not to start a whole match.com thing.. but it's winter and unlike those in So Cal, most of us don't have gardens right now. So I will throw in some randomness ....

I grew up in Massachusetts and my sister married a whole family of Yankees fans. Quite a blow to our Red Sox nation.

I've been fishing once but was the only one who got a bite and have not been invited since. My 4x4 Explorer would handle your boat nicely.

Love NASCAR but am not a "Smoke" fan, sorry.

Good luck with your country song. Just make sure you include Mama, some prison time and your pick up. Worked for David Allen Coe.. LOL!

Heart Attacks: This May Save Your Life or the Live of a Loved One

Someone sent this to me. SELF CPR What are you to do if you have a heart attack while you are alone? If you've already received this, it means people care about you ... The Johnson City Medical Center staff actually discovered this and did an in-depth study on it in our ICU The two individuals that discovered this then did an article on it .. had it published and have even had it incorporated into ACLS and CPR classes. It is very true and has and does work. It is called cough CPR. A cardiologist says it's the truth ... For your info ...If everyone who gets this sends it to 10 people, you can bet that we'll save at least one life. Read This...It could save your life! Let's say it's 6:15 p.m. and you're driving home (alone of course), after an usually hard day on the job. You're really tired, upset and frustrated. Suddenly you start experiencing severe pain in your chest that starts to radiate out into your arm and up into your jaw. You are only about five miles from the hospital nearest your home. Unfortunately you don't know if you'll be able to make it that far. What can you do? You've been trained in CPR but the guy that taught the course, didn't tell you what to do if it happened to yourself. Since many people are alone when they suffer a heart attack, this article seemed to be in order. Without help, the person whose heart is beating improperly and who begins to feel faint, has only about 10 seconds left before losing consciousness. However, these victims can help themselves by coughing repeatedly and very vigorously. A deep breath should be taken before each cough, and the cough must be deep and prolonged, as when producing sputum from deep inside the chest. A breath and a cough must be repeated about very two seconds without let up until help arrives, or until the heart is felt to be beating normally again. Deep breaths get oxygen into the lungs and coughing movements squeeze the heart and keep the blood circulating. The squeezing pressure on the heart also helps it regain normal rhythm. In this way, heart attack victims can get to a hospital. Tell as many other people as possible about this, it could save their lives!

First thing that needs to be done (if you are going to give it a chance) is to remove the damaged portion. There is approximately a zero percent chance of mending that portion. Once you make a proper pruning cut just above the highest good branch, hopefully the tree will take over from there. That top limb will become the new leader. It will look awkward for a year or two, but probably look good again in less time than you think. Watch for potential multi-leader development and address that situation if it occurs. I know how you feel, I've had this kind of thing happen to me more than once, and it's so disappointing. But I've also had trees that this happened to that you couldn't tell anything happened to after a few years (unless you really knew where to look and looked closely).

It is still a good thought and lovely sentiment.

Update - Check in if you've had a broken toe(s) before

Lascatx, how long were your toes and foot swollen? I spend most of the day in bed and I think this morning I could tell the toes felt better. Until I did a load of laundry about an hour ago, had to water plants so I carried them one by one to the sink and back. Oh, and I cleaned the counter tops. DH does the dishwasher but he's allergic to cleaning by hand. :) Now several of the toes are throbbing like crazy, so next time I have a lengthy chore to do, I'll put the boot on. I bought an amazing pair of garden shoes a couple of years ago that I keep next to the bed and I wore those to the doctor's office and noticed they were nice and firm and have a thick rubber sole. Putting the boot on takes forever and I cannot bend much because of the hurt quad. I just noticed Amazon sells this memory foam leg support and elevation pillow. That's what I need! Rae, I don't think it's a ligament issue, which is a sprain which I've had before. I don't think I told this funny story above, if so, please forgive me. Monday nights were mom's bowling nights and dad was in charge of me and I brother. One night we had a couple of friends over and were playing hide and seek in the basement where you can run to home base before you're caught. I ran in and slid on purpose like a baseball player and sprained the heck out of my ankle. Dad took me to the ER, they said to start soaking the ankle. He brings me a large pot of water, and it was HOT water. LOL My ankle probably doubled in size. Lower back now has a bit of pain, not the usual back pain I get. Sitting in a chair makes my toes hurt.

Dang,Your sisters married too.

I guess I cold put in a verse about going to prison after chasing a nascar driver around(easy to catch-fast but no fuel) in my pickup truck after he ran over my dog and told me my momma wears army boots....They aren't Army boots,They are lady's work boots for tip toe in through the donkey poo.

I thaught in Cajun country they always took someone they didn't like with them when they went fishing.

That and a pair of water skis-just in case they decide to troll for Gators...
They must like you or you woulda gotten tons of invites.

HAHA!!!! I can't stop laughing.. The closest I've been to Cajun Country was a couple days in New Orleans. Well, I've crossed a ton of swamp on I-10.. I guess I'm glad I was not in Cajun Country while fishing or I may have ended up gator food.

That will be a great country song. I can't wait! Maybe if we have some musically inclined posters you can set it to music. Can you incorporate shooting a juke box as well?

Too funny..
