I caught 9 of these large mouth bass and a few brim.

My father-n-law was measuring this one to see if it was a keeper. It twas an inch over the minimum. I actually out fished him that day, which was a first. Fishing is extremely stressful! not

Fishing beats sweating on a beach trying to avoid those teenie bikinis. Todays women have no shame I tell ya.

Today I have off in honor of Fourth of July (even though it's actually the third. Gotta work on the fourth.) What did I do for my "mini" vacation? I slept in ..wwayyyyyyy in...got up around noon and haven't done a damn thing. Still in my pj's and it's now 2 in the afternoon!

If I'm feeling really ambitious I might actually go out tonight. Unfortunately I can't stay out that late because I have to go to work early in the AM.

I can't go on vacations. There's no one at work to take my place and so if I were to take a vacation, I'd be coming back to the stress of a bunch of work piled up waiting for me and trying to catch up which could take several days to accomplish. No thanks.

Recently I got really ill and missed two days of work. First time in a year. And when I came back to work I had eleven assessments to do. I worked sick, because I couldn't afford to take more days off than two. The stress of coming back, still sick, and having that much work piled up (with deadlines...state deadlines, for having it done, of course), was hellish.

The two days I spent at home in bed too sick to work..all I did was worry about the work I knew was piling up on my desk while I was gone.

Vacations suck- being sick sucks...if you can't actually emotionally or psychologically rest or escape there's no freaking point to taking time off at all.

Sorry fcb...happy your relationship works for you but I could never be with a man who had that sort of view. I'd rather be single...no hassles no bs...no "helper status"!

I make my own electricity and have a nice four-season creek. No, it's not a shed, and no, I'm not a hunter. Nothing to do but sleep, eat and feel the breeze. Up there, it's quiet, nobody around for acres on all sides, and the loudest noise is a male eagle singing to attract females. Ever see two eagles mate? Truly an airshow!

My wife and I take vacations every other month. We have our favorite spots. We don't take the kids every time, we need to recharge our own batteries together, too. Sometimes I break away on my own and fly someplace. My wife knows I need time alone.

Husbands, don't ever give up your time out alone, whether you just take a day ride or fly around the globe. She is your helper, not your partner. Retain your role or her feminine curiosity will begin to wonder.
