scrubs Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 Hey Dieter, Haven't been around much, long distance move to Idaho. Sorry to hear about the problems. We had my father-in-law with us for a few years as his dementia got worse and worse. Causes a LOT of stress so it's good to know you and the wife have been getting out a little. bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diemai Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 Thanks a bunch , my friends , the only bad thing is , that in particular lure fishing is just too slow these days , at least in that gravel pit my wife likes to fish these days ,.......... yesterday she had outfished me 9:0 using catching Brown Trout on live baits like wiggler worms , nightcrawlers and maggots versus my successless lures . She's even lost a big fish that tended to drag her into the water , must have been one of the huge grass carp said to be there, I reckon , ......so I guess , that I would skip my lures and sit down underneath my fishing umbrella(wet fall weather has finally commenced around here)and do some float watching as well . Fishing and the outdoors mean everything for us ,....makes us to forget about our troubles and health issues at least for a while . Thanks a lot again for your compassionate words , ........I know , that may others share or did share the problems of having to take care of senior family members , .....it's really something , that someone cannot imagine how it would be like , if one does not go through such as well . @ scrubs I hope , that everything went along fine with that change of location , also that you're going to settle well in your new environment , .....I never experienced having to leave my hometown , always had everything(School and afterwards Job) in the very close vicinity . Greetings , Dieter 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diemai Posted October 12, 2015 Report Share Posted October 12, 2015 (edited) @ surfk9 Thanks a lot for chiming in and wishing well , ....these days I'm often remembering my Grandma's(1901--1986) sayings , ...when I was a kid , she often used to tell me , that life is a struggle from it's very beginning until it's very end , ......did not pay much attention back then , ....but she was surely right with all of her adages . Thanks a lot ,.....best greetings , Dieter Edited October 12, 2015 by diemai 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
