Default What is the problem...

So sorry about mom Henry, what can I say? I hope she didn't suffer much.
God-willing we go before our kids.

Get out on the water & reflect on your years together, I'll bet you're
smiling all day.

As for Randy, that guy whines if the air temp gets in the 50's! Don't
believe his "It's too cold, I can't fish" stories - he can fish 10 months
out of the year within an hour drive of his pad. Lol...

And Rodney, lol, I just can't stand guys that toot thier own horn all day.
He's his own fan club. The guys worth having thier horns tooted never let
you know it...

I killfiled the old boy. Kind of the equivalent of Usenet Homicide
hehehe.
As for using his junk, lol.

This Reaction Innovations character is different from Rodney though;
Whereas Old Rod yells at everyone that doesn't use his snake-oil or buy
into
his gadgets (does anyone?), this fella let loose on a guy that was
already a
customer & user of his goods.

My guess is this - the guy that Bob made contact with was not the owner,
just a grunt employee. That would explain his lack of motivation &
courtesy. I'd bet, in fact, that RI's owner would like to hear about the
way Bob was treated.

Maybe he was just an employee, but maybe not. There are a lot of people
out there who can put a product and company together who have no people
skills. If they offer someone the product they want, with a good enough
price, some people will overlook their poor attitude to get it. I had a
boss with such poor people skills that customers would call the office and
ask for me to call them when I had time. They liked the service I provided
enough, and disliked his poor manners enough, to wait a day in order to
get what they needed. Maybe it's a flaw in my character, but I've always
managed to put a smile on my face for my customers and THEIR customers,
and it sets me off when someone that wants MY hard-earned money is rude
and insulting. They may not even be directing their rudeness at me, but if
it's done in front of me, it's just as rude.
As for Rodney, I read here to R-E-L-A-X, and learn how to be a better
fisherman, and his posts usually left me feeling like I'd just been chewed
out by a mother-in-law. I never liked Jerry Springer for relaxation,
either.
I now know how Randy must feel before ice-out. It's been forever since
I've been able to fish. Work was too busy in the heat, then my mother died
after a few days in the hospital, and I spent a week out of town helping
my father, and now work's behind again, and I'm about as frazzled as I've
ever been. Thank God for you guys and the TFF, so I can at least get an
hour or two here and there to relax, and fish vicariously.
Okay, I've rambled long enough, I better get some sleep.
Sorry I went on so long.
