New York Hillbilly

Holy crap Doc. Leeches!!! You just freaked me out. I was never right with that thought after watching one of my favorite movies of all time as a kid, "The African Queen"......."at a girl Rosie!"

Hey! I went huntin once up north for big game, but I came to a sign right there near the road that said "bear left". So I turned round and just went home!

I'm likin yer thinkin.........Hillbilly Bling!

Welcome!

Dinsdale.........lol.....yup......it's my braggin toof! All what I got left. It's a real goodun for rib rippin and beer tab pullin! Come to think of it, it's purty good for scratchin sceeter bites too, if not done too hard so as to make em bleed, and you can reech em.

Yummy.....deer ribs.......I can rip the tough ole scarce meat from between the bones with my "straggler" tooth! lol!

Ouch.....hope you heal up soon.

Good night Biz. I would say pleasant dreams, but I can't imagine they could ever be better than the life you live! I had fun tonight. See you guys tomorrow. Peace

Geno.....how many times I got to tell you? I ain't got a "set". I do have my lowers though, and keep em in a cup on my night stand. And if I ever lose my "straggler", i'll get the uppers. Then I'll have a set! Elmer.....good night.....glad you likes it.

How about a full body mount of a New York Pizza? As an upstate guy all I could afford though is a chunk of mozzarrella nailed to the wall on a board. A European mount.......LOL!

Well sure I guess ifin you want to count this ole straggler I use in front to pull my beer tabs open soaz I can drink sum beers.

Won't be us "upstate boys", ain't got none left to lose.....remember?

In the wallet!

Doewhacker, I never met you, but if I ever do I'll buy you a cup of coffee or a beer, your choice. I just came off a twelve day stretch at work and have not had time or energy to get into this stuff, but you have been doing a real good job all on your own standing ground for upstate people and it's way of life. This thread sure drifted away from the original topic about fathers and the rules for dating their daughters, right after the expert opinion's related to young women going through the "slut phase". Think this thread will ever get back on topic? lol!

I said my piece and to the best of my knowledge in manner that did not name call, or speak badly of anyone. My intention was to just move on, but now shawnhu decides to take shots at my daughter. Nice!! Want to take anymore cheap shots at me or my family for no reason? Class act buddy!

It was the "fact that every" pretty girl goes through a slut "phase" that ticked me off. Just so happens that my daughter is married to the second boyfriend she had. She graduated with a Masters degree, takes care of handicapped people for a living, got married after graduating college and establishing her career, then bought their house and are now finally talking about having children. Am I a proud dad? Damned right! She was raised to know that she was far more precious than to just give in to some hormone raged teenage kid with nothing to offer but empty promise, a chance at some STD, or a pregnancy that neither were prepared for. Was I offended? Yup! Because for any guy to make such a blanket statement is disrespectful to ALL women in my view, including MY daughter, who works so hard to be successful and respected. Being "pretty" and automatically considered a slut is nothing but ignorance and/or the wishful thinking/fantasy of someone that either read to many dirty magazines or needs their oil checked because they're a quart low. Oh, and for the record, my now adult son was always told that he was to treat every young women he dated as he would want his mother or sister to be treated. And, if I found out he did not, he did not have worry about his girlfriends father, he had to worry about dealing with HIS. Enough said by me, I'm done with this thread.

I won't get into the long story of how my daughter's first boyfriend was educated in the house rules in my little kingdom, but it had to do with a truck ride to the top of my hayfield, at night, and a no fooling explanation of how things were going to go........OE (or else). Biz You paint a real offensive and disgusting view of people's daughters. Real nice commentary following this past Father's Day. And for the record, unless you are married to your "girlfriend", your "single days" are not over.

Has anybody ever bought a garage at a garage sale?

I half expect to bump into him at some point, now that I'm living and working just down the road from him.

It is tough to stay connected this time of the year. All the work that gets done now is what frees me up for hunting season. I try to keep up with all the house/family duties, and cover for everybody at work so they can take as much time as they want in the summer. in return for all my off time during deer season.

Just an update. The move was tricky, settling in even trickier. But we are staying in a small mobile home on "the river" and the fishing and sunsets are unbelievable! The people here are super friendly. I tried to upload some pictures last week but it didn't work. I'll try again this weekend. In the meantime I just wanted to say we made it here, and so far are happy with the decision.

Well..........I guess I should have looked below this post at the one "kisser button". lol Yup....like I said.....anchor point! LOL!

joseph Over the more years than I care to admit to, the big factor in not being to group arrows when starting out is not having developed a consistent anchor point. Sure, equipment is important, but it takes time and practice to get in your groove. Watch yourself draw back in the mirror a few times with you eyes closed, then open your eyes and see if it looks the same, or have a friend watch you. Once you get good at hitting the same anchor point each time watch your groups tighten. Happy shooting!

Once again, thanks everyone for the well wishes. Lawdwaz; Thankfully, other than being a logistical nightmare, the change is, I think, for the better, And you are right, when it comes to my family and friends, I am fortunate. Four Season Whitetails; I may take you up on the offer about spots to look for deer. I was thinking I might join the local game club to see if I can meet some like minded people. Perhaps I can interest someone up there in a deer hunt deal, where they take me along to their place, in return for me taking them down here during Souther Tier season. sssurfertim; That might be an interesting experience, I've never gone before. I must admit though, I have often said if a deer or rabbit could jump high enough, I would never get one. Anytime I tried shooting clay birds, I really stunk at it. lol! josephmrtn; I'm with you on the fishing! I'm looking forward to reacquainting myself to a sport I once seemed to live for. Geno C; I live in central NY and plan to keep my place for the time being, even though Ill be living in Ogdensburg. I don't plan to sell out here quite yet.

Thanks guys! With my daughter married and living in Webster, NY, and my son teaching college in New Hampshire and singing in Boston, this ole house just seemed to big and empty. I worked for the past 21/2years at a teaching hospital, as a psychiatric nurse practitioner, and got tired of the hour drive each way. My good friend moved to Ogdensburg after listening to all my stories about my time as a kid fishing up there. He loves working for the hospital there, and they in return were so impressed with him they made him Unit Chief. Having practiced along side this doctor for about a year and a half, we became good friends and colleagues. He knows my work style, abilities, and commitment to my patients, and asked me to consider coming to Ogdensburg to join their team. I am very impressed with the quality of people I have met there, and it feels like a real good fit for me. I guess it was the right offer, at the right time, and being blessed with a good wife of 34 years, she supports the move. So, Ogdensburg, here we come!
