[Joyce M Westphal]

Thanks for the update..your job as a pastry chef sounds wonderful fun..but
long tiring hours for your shoulder.  I am guessing you have oseoarthritis
in your shoulder?  If it is rheumatoid, has your rheumatologist tried
Humira o Arava? Mine is rheumatoid and I am almost pain free after a switch
to Arava (leflunamide).  Prayers. Joyce

Hi Joyce it has be a while hasn't it!! Any way long story short arthritis is 
the problem along with too many surgeries on the left shoulder. so now I am in 
a pain management program. The med that had stop working is MSCotin, which I 
was taking 30mg 3X. It has been switched to Oxicotin 20mg 2X and Oxicoden 10mg 
2X as needed for break thru pain. I am now working as an assistant pastry chef 
at a Country Club

[Phxflytyer]

Jimmy;

Have been quite busy the last two months. We bought another house in the 
retirement section of Mesa, AZ. And have been going there almost every day to 
get things fixed the way we want it. I have also been working at Bass Pro Shop 
4 days a week also. Makes for long exhausting days.

My house has been on the market for 3 weeks now and a few visits but no offers 
yet.


No fishing..BAH HUMBUG!!!

Paul,
Like you, I just don't think a forum will be a good thing. I for one just can't 
handle it. That is why I am not on any forum lists. By the way, I did not 
mention I got to meet you at one of the shows when I listed some of the VFB 
members I have met at shows.

I too am a "founding" member. Unlike many I go way back to the
Newsgroups days, what a chaotic mess that was!! VFB traffic is
reasonable. Other formats generally require one to go to a URL, when
the Streamer list went that way I went away. The Google digest is
friendly, one click and I'm able to respond. Like many originals (such
as Hans W), I tend to respond only to those threads of particular
interest. Also, with possibly 10,000 flies, swaps have mostly lost
their raison d'etre. While still a member of FF@, I haven't posted in
years. The volume of posts is too much for individual setting, and
I've never been keen on their digest. I'm also a member of Jimmy's
Flyfishingworld list, and while quiet, occasionally has a good thread.
To me VFB is healthy. While unable to run the monster caddis swap, it
seems to me that most of the announced swaps find a reasonable number
of participants. Unfortunately the world has changed for the worst;
many of us remember when flying might actually be enjoyable!!! Cross-
border mail has become both expensive and a total hassle---it would
never occur to me to send flies to the US. The last time I tried to
send flies to a US magazine they were locked in a customs warehouse in
Atlanta and the magazine was told to cough up several hundred dollars
(they declined!!).

Paul, you have WAY more miles on the clock than I do wrt the social
networking sites, and I bow to your time.
I am with you dude, from the time you asked me about my "lame ass" Lesotho
bugger, I've been watching your stuff. This is where I keep quiet.

Neville, Listen to this man Marriner!

  Afternoon VFB'ers:

  I'm not currently the VFB Moderator, and haven't been for the last year, when 
I quit out of Frustration.  However, somebody needs to say a few words about 
"serial" posts.  I'm talking about the kind that are between two or more 
VFB'ers who constantly talk back and forth and back and forth to each other VIA 
the VFB List, along with numerous "ATTA BOYS" from others putting in their 2 
cents worth. In just the last few days I've deleted over 300 VFB emails.  
Things would be better for all of us if these conversations were OFF LIST. And, 
that isn't hard to do.  All you have to do is use pull all the e-mail addresses 
into the address line and hit send.  For ensuing posts all you'd need to do 
afterward is hit "reply all" and leave the VFB out of it. Signing up for a Swap 
is different, because there's always a lot of traffic and updates until the 
swap is full, then when all communication is usually moved OFF LIST as it 
should be.  
  .
  I've received several OFF LIST e-mails complaining about the Serial Posts and 
asking me to say a few words.  OK, I heard you and I did say a few words.  Some 
of you will want to give me an Atta Boy, and some will want to kick my butt, 
but Guys, but whatever you do, please do it OFF LIST.

  To quote Byard on the purpose of the VFB email list:  "The Virtual Flybox 
Mailing List is designed to be a forum in which members can post announcements 
for new fly swaps and discuss flytying and flyfishing topics."  He didn't say 
anything about casual bante rand poking fun at each other. Too much technical 
stuff with no play/banter/kidding,  makes for a very dry VFB.

  One last point!  In the not distant past, the VFB had over 600 members.  As 
of last week it had only 220.  Something's Outta Kilter somewhere.

  Ive already declared the Traditional Winged Wet Fly Swap Full twice.

  A couple of extra people now want in.

  As I don't want to upset anyone by adding more tyer's to this swap, 
  I am willing to run a second concurrent swap also for Traditional Winged Wet 
Flys.

  If you want to enter both you only pay postage once.

  Limit is TEN entry's max !

Subject: [VFB] VFB - Prayers, Politics, Religion and the delete button

 

 

I do not share the religious beliefs of a number of the VFB members but
never take offense at their beliefs or their requests for prayers.  I
understand the comfort taken by others from their beliefs and wish them
well.

I don't live in the US and my low opinions of their political leaders would
have little to offer so I don't.

BUT I WOULD LIKE IT MADE CLEAR THAT I, IAIN SHORT, DID NOT AND NEVER HAVE
VOTED FOR TONY BLAIR, GORDON BROWN, PRESCOTT, MANDELSON, BECKET OR ANY OTHER
MEMBER OF THE BLOODY LABOR PARTY.  THE DAMAGE THEY HAVE DONE TO MY COUNTRY
IS NOT MY FAULT.


Please - Could we now get back to fly tying as a topic, and would someone
please identify their swap for which have tied streamer flies, Ive lost
track...




Ian and VFB

That was hilarious !  I just opened my front door and screamed to the
neighborhood, "It's not my fault!"

My own 2 cents.  Like Ian `my own views on politics and religion are
probably not shared by many on the list. I am pretty sure I am somewhat to
the left of most of the list. And because I am involved in a new and
exploding business, while I read the list every day I simply do not post at
all. Having said that, I love what Tony and Jimmie shared on this topic. I
have met a number of folks on the list. Some have been guests in my home; I
have fished with a few; tied flies with a few and most importantly have made
great friends.

 I also thought the initial comments on the war definitely pushed the limits
of VFB.  However, it is my pleasure to read about our families and I do not
mind in the least when people on this list ask for our prayers, love and
support. It's almost difficult for me to express how meaningful the support
was that I got from this list and from FF@ 10 years ago when my daughter was
killed by a drunk driver. Both on the list and off there were days when that
correspondence brought me back from some very dark places and dark thoughts.
Ironically, perhaps the most important source of that solace came from a fly
rod building Baptist minister

I think the unique genius of this list is that we have been able to balance
that fine line between flyfishing and concern for one another.

If you really want to see a train wreck jump over to FF@ for awhile. I also
love that list, but I would say that fewer than 20% of the posts are
actually about flyfishing. And the fur flies regularly.

My final comment comes from being a Jew. Thankfully, I live in a country
where being a religious minority is not something that I have to think about
very often. And I don't think I've ever have to think about that on this
list. We always told our kids that what was most important in life is to
find someone who was a good person and who they could be really happy with.
Each others religion was of little consequence. And I feel the same way
about the list. Who am I to judge where someone else finds solace.  Frankly
I am happy that those listers who asked for prayers have a faith that
sustains them and have vulnerability and courage to ask for help when they
need it.

Of course if that lister happens to Dr Demento, he does need prayer, he
needs meds and lots of them J

Just my 2 cents,

Going back to work.

JG
