Life is life so won't go into what has gone on in recent years.

But, Tuesday, my brother took my mom to hospital (in her 80's). Wednesday she clinically died twice. Once for over 20 minutes. Still hanging on by a thread. He was not allowed past the entry door to walk our 82 year old feeble mother to the ER. We are not allowed to visit her or set foot in hospital, even though she has legally died twice and keeps reviving. We are relegated to update calls. So, yeah I'm pissed about some things today.

Very sorry to hear this. These are scary times. Prayers sent.

@GVF any update on your mom?

No recovery. MRI showed both sides of Thalmus anoxic from coding out. 54 minutes total on 2 or 3 code outs. Week and a half of ICU and tests. Vegetative. No responses, etc. Went 15 hours without IV or fluids when she went in. Was talking to my brother on phone hour before all the episodes started. Will be looking into if I get my way. Multiple bleeding ulcers from prednisone and nsaids was base issue in beginning, verse what we thought was a bug for about a week. Dehydration is why we took her. Right before we left, brother had her doc on phone and that was first time she said she had been having black stool. Sometimes that generation is too private. Probably could have remedied without issue week prior. Fluids may not have prevented what ultimately happened, but how do you go for dehydration and not get on a drip. Everybody always gets an IV at hospital for anything. Sister making trip in this weekend.

GVF, lost my MIL a week and a half ago....same generation. Just can't get through to them. She had COPD, sodium and cardiac issues last year and was told on Monday before she passed on Sat that she needed a stint. She wouldn't tell anyone anything. I am sorry that you are going through this. It's tough and nothing anyone can say can make it better. You are in my prayers and hopefully there is a peaceful end to this for you and your family.

If I'm seeing what looks like some really large crappy, that is gonna be a fine dinner table.

Funny story about that. Very close buddy of mine growing up (not anymore but different story) got me into bass fishing after college when I moved back home. I was mostly a trout fisherman all my life. Returned favor and got him hooked on deer hunting. Anyhow, he was a fireman and I worked in the mills, so we both had rotating days off where we did nothing but fish or hunt religiously. His wife didn't care if was home or not as long as he was with me. I was the trustworthy one. He had a habit of over setting the hook on fish. I've had little 1/4 pound bass bounce off my chest or the side of the boat a few times. He had a little 12 foot john boat with trolling motor and we took it everywhere. And he had permission on just about every private pond in the county and we're talking the seriously good ones. 3 acre up to 20 acre. Sometimes we'd haul 90 plus bass in one pond. I've got a 10 pound, 24" long mount out of a 5 acre spring fed pond that was a mile back in the woods. 90% of time with a pole, a hook, and 3 packs of black trick worms. Well....Crappy have rather soft lips as fish go. He was throwing an ultra light spinner with a treble hook. He had a pretty good bite, and leaned into the hook set. That lure came flying back with nothing but a set of fish lips on it. We figured it was a crappy.

Oh lawd, yeah I was just joking. But we had a lengthy discussion a few days ago about commercial fishing of the species and the benefits environmentally if it became a popular fish to eat.

Things I'm mad about today: commercial harvest for Omega 3, menhaden specifically.....people who've never seen the Hitch film throwing the word "gaslight/ing" around.

ME! Its not bad when you do it trout fishing, you just pull the fly out of the fish's mouth or fling a little fish 25 feet behind you. On salt water for false albacore, you might very well break your friends 8 wt! Good thing expensive fly rods usually have good warranties.
