My oldest gave me a Christmas wish list….i have no idea what half of it is? 🤷

I may not understand it all but I could have that filled in a couple of hours. Probably quicker if I just ordered online. 
 

I’d probably struggle with the first one more than the rest.

Girls are awesome but they aren’t cheap.

Ya wanna know the part that drives me crazy?     Our 2 grown girls do these video chats from their cribs, and everything in the background is neat, tidy, and decorated so beautifully.......Not a single little thing out of place.   

Then they come home for a few days and totally trash the entire house.  Half filled cups of drinks and dirty plates everywhere, 5 pairs of shoes in the middle of the floor, dirty socks on every table and counter,  bras hanging from doorknobs, phone and laptop charging cords strung across everything.   

If you tell any of them to pick up their crap, the reply is always "It isn't MINE". 🙄 

Then they get back to their place, and there's 9 phone calls....."Is my charger there?,  Is my black sweater there? Look in Dad's shop, and check the dryer". Ect. 

And let's talk about vehicle maintenance!!!!  The first 3 hours of their visit is always spent topping off or changing oil, tranny fluid, coolant, and equalizing tire pressures. 

We always look forward to them coming home......but there's no denying that I'm equally thrilled to see them leave.

You're missing the intended message, Mitch.    

What she ACTUALLY wants is......MONEY!!!! Preferably CASH.   And as much as you can possibly spare. 👍 

She'd much rather do her own shopping, I can assure you.

I can’t argue with any of this. Spot on.

Wrench is a perfect example why late term abortion is an option.

"Don't kid yourself".... would be a clever slogan for an abortion clinic.  

If U.S. taxpayers had to pay maternity leave, abortion rights would be the first amendment to the constitution.

Another Nice smallie choking in a craw.

This craw we made is an excellent winter bait.

Once again we have a thread that covers it all: Neds, God, craws, elaztech, two stroke engines, the comparative size of equipment, abortion, corporate consolidation, pro fishing, hellgrammites, fly fishing versus mainstream fishing, crank bait comparisons, chemistry, evangelists, why porn showed up on computers, vintage fishing tackle, secular humanism, and Ike Iconelli.

Well done, lads!
