Well I yelp when I see a rat but it's because they startle me. Eddie says I have a snake scream though. I don't like baiting my own hook but I do it. I just place and close my eyes and do it. I can't stand putting my hand in the bucket with minnows swimming though. I will get something and scoop them out. I don't mind the touching as much as I don't like killing the minnows or the worms.
LOL you are braver than me then! As for peace and quiet, I have Emmas and Jacobs friends over for sleepovers. That is 5 kids in total and I promise you QUIET is not even on the agenda! LOL
Maybe one day I will be able to fish by myself, who knows? I mean, I used to be terrified of horses, but am slowly getting there and doing more things with them. : )
The cabin we are going to for a week in the summer has a huge private pond, teeming with fish. I reckon deaconjim is brave to go there again, because it is the place where i upended him when he was in the canoe : D, maybe this time, i'll get pics HEHE! : )
