The upside is blessed silence.

They're all out in the backyard now, three generations of worm torturers. They've discovered a new weapon to bring to the Worm Inquisition, all worms beware. It's this thingy called "Worm Up." You drop two tablets in a bucket, stick it in your yard, and let the hose slowly fill it up and run over. Ten minutes later shrieking worms are leaping out of the soil in worm agony.

"Oh yeah! Here comes a big one! There's another one! Dammit, let it get all the way out of the hole before you pick it up!"

I guess this is better than the potato fork to the yard, but not, I suppose, if you're a worm.

So once again, Muffie will be alone this evening with a 7 year old who is going to have a fit. He can't go, school tomorrow. This is actually not as bad as it sounds. I'll get a few hours of solitude to write once the bratchild actually goes to bed.

Hey, maybe I'll even write instead of hang out here. . .
 
So, does he bring you home fresh, and more importantly, cleaned, fish?

I grew up in a fishing family. My dad is a commercial fisherman, as is one of my cousins. Another cousin runs a sport boat and yet another cousin owns a seafood market. And you know what they all do on their vacations? You got it, fishing.
 
I arrived home from a fishing trip with my wife about 1:30pm CST.
We had a good time. No fish to clean and our boat did fine.

It's so damn dry here in east texas i would have to use a jack hammer to dig for worms and this year they are $2.49 us a dozen.
 
We don't have a boat.

He doesn't clean them out there, he brings them home and puts them in the bathtub.

He keeps his fishbait in the refridgerator.

But I like being a fishing widow. I'm an not a 24/7 kind of a girl. He drives me nuts and I need breaks.
 
I wonder how much damage that stuff does to your grass.
 
I love KM's fishing threads!

Our family grows our own worms- a section of the garden is set aside. They love pineapples, by the way, in case anyone else wants to do this.
 
I once read that fishermen brings their bait to bed to keep it warm.
Did you see his shrimp in the bed?
