From my personal experience I have to go along with the idea of using some common sense. When my GP told me he thought I might have a problem with my prostate he sent me to urologist to be checked. It took five years before he agreed with the first doctor. That point you suggested radiation treatment. I chose not to do that and to go to the surgical route instead because of information that I found dealing with after effect of both systems. 5 years later I can say that I made the right decision because my life is as close to normal as it could be. Same thing when the doctor told me he thought I should get an ultrasound on my neck. When I checked it out what he was concerned about was a blocked carotid artery and having a stroke. I made the appointment for the ultrasound before I left his office. They did the surgery when they found that it was 80% blocked. The surgery was successful. Both of these instances I made a decision based on information which was readily available. It works for me.

My late wife died of cancer after 39 months of suffering. We did everything the doctors said but caught them in gross negligence a number of times, resulting in a written apology from the hospital and their assurance that things will be better! NOT!!! The negligence got worse!!!
I follow the belief that doctors are "practicing medicine." I seldom see a doctor and have lived a clean life. At 81 I am fortunate to not take ANY medication, just vitamins.
I cut my thumb to the bone on two sides. I had been using super glue for treating paper cuts and minor cuts and knew the medical field has been using super glue for surgery instead of staples for a long time. I pinched each deep cut closed and had my wife (I remarried) place super glue on the cuts. The cuts soon healed and as usual the super glue disappeared and no infection occurred as was always the case. My wife's friend recently gave birth again. All four births have been by c-section and this time super glue was used instead of staples.
I will go to the doctor if necessary but will avoid them until then.

The courtroom was quiet. In attendance were several notables. There was Plumbob, author of the Tome "Big boat, small boat, who cares?" Also in attendance was Eastern Oz. He came in on crutches with a Greek Chorus trailing behind, singing "Hobble hobble limp limp." There was The Wulff, known for his wisdom and Spirit 27, the canny one, known as the only human to be a tree hugging liberal and libertarian. Zooey the intern was in attendance with her partner Jimmy Olsen, with his camera.

On the stand was Kat, the state's primary witness in the murder trial. Smokypig was on trial for the murder of Badbobby. She had already testified that she and Smokypig was been together for a considerable time, before she simply dumped him in favor of Badbobby.

"Badbobby was the world's greatest lover" she said. "Making love with him was the closest a woman could come to being in Heaven."
"He was a fine, gracious man; always considerate and thoughtful." She added
"He had such wonderful manners" she said. "Smokypig's manners were...well...you know, Smokypig."

She continued by saying on Sunday morning, as was their custom, they were making love to the rythm of the church bells.

"And then, here came Smokypig, driving right down the street in front of the house in his firetruck. DINGADINGADINGADINGDINGADINGADIGADING.

To keep a worm, plastic or real, or even liver, shrimp and crawdads....BAIT BUTTONS. Check out this gadget. A little tiny (2 sizes available) rubber washer w/a tiny hole. Comes in a dispenser you shake, to put button in slot, then push hook tip through. Refills of buttons available. Certainly would work for you, since the small size grips the hook so tightly, barbless won't matter, have used them on hooks as small as #10. We use them for an added security on egg clusters, even when you have a snelled egg loop hook. At first I was a bit skeptical about what to do with it on your hook after you lose your bait, when a friend tells me that he puts one ON EITHER SIDE of his bait (worm) to position it on hook. So now I usually push the first one up, re-bait, and add another. Eventually, you'll need to get a sharp knife and cut them off the hook...no biggie.
The dispenser, loaded (w/ like a hundred)is about $7-9, refills, like $5...BAIT BUTTONS.... great gadget that actually works well.

Ordering Pizza In 2020. It's a new world.

CALLER:

 Is this Gordon's Pizza?

GOOGLE:  
No sir, it's Google Pizza.

CALLER:
I must have dialed a wrong number.  Sorry.

 

GOOGLE:
No sir, Google bought Gordon’s Pizza last month.

 

CALLER: 
OK. I would like to order a pizza.

 

GOOGLE: 
Do you want your usual, sir?

 

CALLER:

My usual? You know me?

 

GOOGLE:

According to our caller ID data sheet, the last 12 times you called you ordered an extra-large pizza with three cheeses, sausage, pepperoni, mushrooms and meatballs on a thick crust.

 

CALLER:
OK! That’s what I want ...

 

GOOGLE:

May I suggest that this time you order a pizza with ricotta, arugula, sun-dried tomatoes and olives on a whole wheat gluten-free thin crust?

 

CALLER: 
What? I detest vegetables!

 

GOOGLE: 
Your cholesterol is not good, sir.

 

CALLER: 
How the heck do you know!

 

GOOGLE:

Well, we cross-referenced your home phone number with your medical records.  We have the result of your blood tests for the last 7 years.

 

CALLER:

Okay, but I do not want your rotten vegetable pizza!  I already take medication for my cholesterol.

 

GOOGLE:

Excuse me sir, but you have not taken your medication regularly.  According to our database, you purchased       only a       box of 30 cholesterol tablets once, at Drug RX Network, 4 months ago.

 

CALLER: 
I bought more from another drugstore.

 

GOOGLE:
That doesn’t show on your credit card statement.

 

I paid in cash.

 

GOOGLE:
But you did not withdraw enough cash according to your bank statement.

 

CALLER:
I have other sources of cash.

 

 

 

GOOGLE:

That doesn’t show on your last tax return unless you bought them using an undeclared income source, which is against the law.

 

CALLER:
WHAT THE HECK

 

GOOGLE: 
I'm sorry, sir, we use such information only with the sole intention of helping you.

 

CALLER:

Enough already!  I'm sick to death of Google, Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp and all the others.  I'm going to an island without internet, cable TV, where there is no cell phone service and no one to watch me or spy on me.

 

GOOGLE:  
I understand sir, but you need to renew your passport first.  It expired 6 weeks ago.

So I've never really went fishing voluntarily, it's always been with either my dad, or friends who want to go but I didn't really partake for 1 simple reason... I hate the smell of fish. Lately I've been playing this game call Fishing Planet, a fishing simulator as I never thought i'd want to go in real life.

Long story short, i'm hooked on fishing and find it to be awesome.. But I need some help with one thing. I can't stand the smell of fish. It's not so much touching them, just the smell is one of the worst in the world for my nose apparently. Any way I can get past this obstacle and be able to truly enjoy fishing?

People have recommended getting gloves, and i'm down, but do all you people who are out fishing judge people like us? I'm just trying to enjoy myself, as i've been down in the slumps bad the past 2 months, life has been bland and I find no enjoyment in much anymore. I threw a line in over the weekend, and got a fish almost instantly and ever since i've been wanting to go in real life and it completely turned everything around. Before you ask, I tied the knot to the hook wrong, and my worm and hook both got taken instantly, but seeing the fish break the surface was awesome, and kept me going for the next 3 hours until dark without even a bite at all.

I now know the reason why I didn't get any bites after that is my fault, because I didn't know how to set up a worm and what not. But i've done loads of research the past couple days and will be getting all my tackle and stuff on Thursday morning before heading out for 3 days.

I'm set on getting over this obstacle. Any info is helpful, thanks guys.

EDIT: TLDR; I can't stand the smell of fish. What is the best way to fish, without getting that smell all over me, and without looking stupid in front of other people in public?
