Tallbald Posted October 30, 2013 Report Share Posted October 30, 2013 As I have had to retire, I have joined several special interest forums. Some I have not stayed on as I saw more and more acrid exchanges among members, and thinly disguised cursing. I'm not a prude or pure as driven snow, having lived 55 years and spent 40 of them working in factories, shipyards and hospitals. I also don't join forums to be contentious or participate in fussies. With that said I'd like to sincerely compliment the members here for the pleasant atmosphere they create and their willingness to help someone new. I enjoy this forum and the enthusiastic flavor of the forum makes me happy to visit and exchange ideas each day. Thanks everyone.

Cougarftd Posted October 30, 2013 Report Share Posted October 30, 2013 You never have to be afraid to ask a question...so many helpful individuals to help solve your issues. Great people! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HickoryHollow Posted October 30, 2013 Report Share Posted October 30, 2013 I am new here as well. Well, I was a month ago anyway. Just as you have said, I noticed the same thing right away. And, as Cougarftd said above, you never have to worry you will be treated as stupid for asking a question, and you will get the answere you need. Welcome Tallbald, and thanks guys in the forum for being helpful! Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark poulson Posted October 30, 2013 Report Share Posted October 30, 2013 Everything I know about lure making I learned here, from the generous members of T.U.. P.S. Don't worry about asking "stupid" questions, I've already asked most of them myself. The only really stupid question is the one you don't ask. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RayburnGuy Posted November 2, 2013 Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 Here's a dumb question. Who's David Ortiz? If he's not a fisherman then I have no idea. Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RayburnGuy Posted November 4, 2013 Report Share Posted November 4, 2013 He's not from Texas. From the latest posts I assume he's a baseball player. Not sure what that has to do with where he's from. I still wouldn't know who he was even if he was from Texas. I never was one to sit around the house watching sports on TV. I always enjoyed hunting, fishing, catching bullfrogs, bow fishing, etc. too much to stay inside. One of my favorite days of the year was Super Bowl Sunday, but not for the reason you might think. I knew there would be extremely few, if any, people on the lake that day so I would have the whole lake pretty much to myself. Not trying to take anything away from people who enjoy watching sports. It just never was my cup of tea. I'll do a google search to find out who David Ortiz is. Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
