Cure For the Blues (XXL)

[Bruce Freeman]

Ladies and Gentelmen of this site, I have only been here a short time I am about to throw myself onto the mercy of your court(jesters) I have learned lots of good stuff here and hope to test (steal) as much of your good info as possible. I will confess to suffering from Brokenus boatamus when I got here and was looking for sympathy. What I found was a bunch of well informed and careing people. How a group so large can function so well boggles my mind? Half the post and replies have only one porpise (did I spell it wright Rob?)The rest are pure? I watched what you have done for the Mann family,I think the BPS rewards donation if it floats is great idea and I don't want to hurt anybodies feelings but I hope BPS steals it and goes world wide with the idea. So I guess I trying to say Thank You to all..Bruce..

P.S If you ever break down in MD give me a call. 410-877-3222(Store)410-937-2987(cell)

Bruce,

You have discovered one of the best sites on the net. All the kudo's go to Rich Stern, this is his site and his baby. But you are right, you will find no better group of people than those here. Welcome aboard, glad you became a member, and make this your home page because you will be spending most of your internet time here!!!



We love you, man!!!

And don't forget...



KEN AND MAC, BETTER THAN CRACK!!!

 

[Barry Loos]

Bruce, I've been in the same "boat" as you for the past year or so..... Had it not been for the time I owned my Nitro, I never would have found this site. This is the first place I go when I sign on to the internet. I visit it almost every day. It is the only site I visit with any regularity.



Ken is quite right - all the kudos go to Rich Stern! It is his philosophy on life and genuine love of people that makes this site what it is!



Regarding the Rewards Points idea..... I couldn't agree with you more! I would hope that BPS does pick it up and run with it! Last week, I called Ms. C at Tracker for advice on who to approach with the idea; as always, she got me to the right people in the BPS/Marketing division who could help. Things are in the process right now.....



Thank you, Ms. C!

God bless you, Rich Stern!

Welcome aboard, Bruce!



me!

Bruce, glad to have you chipping in here. It is a wonderful group of people.



Our secret ingredient: R-E-S-P-E-C-T. A little goes a long way. The men and women who interact here have that value in common. The rest of the world would do well to follow the example.



And let's get something straight: Despite Scott's words to the contrary, I don't love you guys. But I do confess to liking you a lot.

Hey Rich... I think we could take that "RESPECT" thing to the top of the top 40 chart...we just need a snappy tune and a great singer...I'll work on it!!! LOL

 

[Bill McElroy]

Hey,...there's a woman named "Reetha" that lives by me (sorta)...12-15 miles away.....she might belt it out 4 you!

 

[Bruce Freeman]

See This is just what I mean, I go away to work an Anglers Choice TX to help out a friend. Gone two days and not even 1 cheap shot about my spelling or that I still claim to be a Hoosier even though I live in MD. Bruce.

P.S Mr Neeley Sir: You can not have my Coors Light..LOL

 

[Bill McElroy]

Send us some primo MD. Crab Cakes and we'll be nice to you forever!!..LOL. And Nobody's going to complain about Indiana sweetcorn and basketball.......'cept maybe wolverines! Besides,...bobby Knight was always fishin' when he wasn't throwin' chairs!..ahahah Glad to have you on board! (no pun intended!)

Hey, Now Wait a minute! This post was going just fine and then you did it Bruce! I HOPE that the "Hoosier" is refering to the state of Indiana and NOT that poor excuse for a liberal Arts college in Bloomingtoon!



BOILERMAKERS!!!!

 

[Rob LaMoy]

Gosh, I think I'm gonna cry! LOL Welcome to the disfunctional anglers site Bruce. We ain't much, but we got each other. LOL You would be hard pressed to find a better group of folks that for the most part have never met, anywhere in the world. Looking forward to meeting more of you in the future.
