Dear Dr. Phil


Dear Dr. Phil,


When I retired, I could hardly wait to spend time enjoying my favorite pastime -- bass fishing. I got my own little fishing boat and tried to get my wife to join me, but she just never liked fishing.


Finally, one day at the Bait & Tackle Shop, I got to talking to Sam, the shop owner, who it turned out loves bass fishing as much as I do. We quickly became fishing buddies. As I said, the wife doesn't care about fishing. She not only refuses to join us, but she always complains that I spend too much time fishing.


A few weeks ago, Sam and I had the best fishing trip ever. Not only did I catch the most beautiful bass you've ever seen, only a few minutes later Sam must have caught his twin brother!


So I took a picture of Sam holding up the two nice bass that we caught and showed the picture to the wife hoping that maybe she'd get interested. Instead she says she doesn't want me to go fishing at all anymore! And she wants me to sell the boat! I think she just doesn't like to see me enjoying myself. What would you do? Tell the wife to forget it and continue my hobby or quit fishing and sell the boat as she insists?


Thanks, Fishing Fool


P.S. Attached is a picture of Sam with the two bass we caught.


Dear Fishing Fool,
Get rid of that narrow-minded wife.
That's a couple of really nice bass!
Dr. Phil

Well, isn't Sam special! Personally, I'd let the old man go fishing and find me a "hobby" of my own! A "hobby" with a cowby hat!

That's great! But I didn't see any fish?

Loved it! Sorry it's taken me so long to get over to your site from mine. I think you were probably the first or 2nd one to my site (http://werethosewrinklesthereyesterday.blogspot.com/) Friday when SITS had me as the FB on Friday and I'm still trying to find the time to get through all of the comments and visits I received from everyone. (I know, I know, what an awful problem to have right? It's horrible being me right now! lol)

Your site is so cute! Love the monkeys. Thanks for becoming a follower to my little blog and adding me to your blog roll. I've returned the favor on both accounts.

Looking forward to getting to know you better!
