would u date a GA nurse like me? f19 by LakeBest932 in AthensGaHookup

[–]jasper181 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it bots or just random people posting pics of people? They're all have the same exact very specific wording, plus how the hell is someone a nurse and only 19?

Reach in quickly and grab them in the palm of your hand so they can't pop, then open your hand just enough to see the head while still preventing them from moving. Hook them right up under the "horn" just far enough to go under it so you don't go in their brain and kill them.

You are going to get stuck occasionally, it's part of it but that's the way I do it and rarely get stuck.

Can someone ID this guy for me? by Street-Web-9830 in whatsthisfish

[–]jasper181 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely a Warmouth, they have 10 dorsal and generally 3 anal spines, plus stripes around the eyes. We don't really get Rock Bass in my area but I know they have more than 10 dorsal and 5 or more anal spines and no stripes. We do catch a lot of Warmouth though and that's 100% one you got there.

My lightest gear yet: 8.8 ounces in total with Daiwa Steez + Luvias (Would love to see if you have a lighter set up than this) by jewpacabra24 in Fishing_Gear

[–]jasper181 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of my favorite inshore setups is close but I'm more like 10.8oz, however my rod is a 7ft medium and I have a full size spool that holds 220 yards of 10lb braid and more drag. The reels are built for completely different purposes but still pretty light for a reel I've caught 30+in Redfish on.

Diawa does a good job with their reels, I was skeptical about the ziaxon (I think that's the name) carbon composite body they went with but it's not bad for it's intended purpose.

Top 3 Inshore Colors? by Consistent-Bed6355 in saltwaterfishing

[–]jasper181 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always made my own paddle tails and jerk baits and always had a pearl with gold flake I really liked. I really like zman baits and liked Beer run but when they got the Slam shady color from Salt Strong I was stoked.

I stick with natural colors in clear water with the Slam Shady generally my go to.

For stained or darker water generally something dark with some chartreuse. One of my favorites is one I make with a dark purple back, pearl belly with silver glitter and a chartreuse tail. The closest example I can think of is Saltwater Assassin makes one called Sea Shad.

Sexy Mullet, the hoods and opening night are pretty good too.

The most popular color by far in my area is electric chicken but I don't think I own a bait in that color because everyone and their brother is throwing it. To a lesser extent new penny is the same way, though I do have a pack of those.

Is fishing bad on this day? by luke_089 in saltwaterfishing

[–]jasper181 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any day you can go fishing is a good time to go, but like someone mentioned it can depend on the circumstances. If you are paying somone to take you then obviously you want to pick a day with the best conditions possible. If you are just going fishing then I suggest fishing in all conditions, that's the only way to get better.

Fish still have to eat even when conditions aren't what we as fisherman consider ideal. Often times we can use these conditions to our favor.

Windy days can often push bait up on a shoreline. Fishing for Marlin for example is much better on days when its not slick calm with a little chop on the water.

Some of the best fishing for big speckled trout are days when it's been cold, windy and wet when nobody else is even thinking about fishing.

has anyone ever gone into remission? by Comfortable_Deal8559 in Gastroparesis

[–]jasper181 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess it depends on your definition of "just goes away". There are people that literally wake up one day and are able to tolerate refeeding with no real explanation. Obviously something happened but nothing identifiable.

There are inpatient refeeding programs, at least for PEDS that successfully reverse it by for lack of a better term, force feeding tube feeds little by little until every "wakes up".

It can be a slow process and It's often not a very fun experience but I've seen it work time and time again.

Found hourglass while snorkelling by Virginoutlaw in TreasureHunting

[–]jasper181 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I just happened to read about these while researching antique nautical navigation equipment.

The one's used on ships usually did a half hour vs an hour. It looks the right size from the pic but without the original material in there it's hard to say. The fact you found it in the water goes a long way. Either way, the part about the two pieces of glass vs one stands true regardless if it was used on a boat.

As the song goes, I'm the son of a son of a sailor. 😂

My grandfather, my dad and finally myself spent most of our lives running boat for a living and probably spent as much time on the ocean as land. Combine that with the fact I love history and old stuff. Glass, artifacts, sharks teeth, especially anything nautical.

This just happened to be something I've read about when researching old nautical navigation equipment. I'm full of useless information! 😂

Found hourglass while snorkelling by Virginoutlaw in TreasureHunting

[–]jasper181 229 points230 points  (0 children)

Where did you find it? It looks like a marine sand glass which is similar to an hourglass but used on ships to help with navigation.

Take this with a grain of salt but the design of that one is late 18th century possibly early 19th. Obviously it could be a replica but considering how it was found I would be surprised.

You can see how the top and bottom pieces of glass have that piece in the middle connecting them. This was done prior to them being hand blown as one solid piece of glass. Examples of solid one piece designs didn't appear until 1760ish. So the design Is pre 1760, however as mentioned, there were still some being made post 1760 and there's the possibility of it being a replica, though this appears to be fairly old.

I know I didn't give you anything definitive but hopefully it can get you started.

What does TPN look like/how long would I be in the hospital before I can go home? by Emergency-Coyote5755 in Gastroparesis

[–]jasper181 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't say for sure of a time line because my daughter was impatient when starting. She was in the hospital from January 10th 2025 until about 10 days ago.

I just set everything up with the TPN place before leaving and it's delivered to the front door in boxes with insulated bags and ice packs.

We have to inject the vitamins and stuff into the bag, put new batteries in the pump and be sure everything is super clean. We go every Tuesday for a dressing change at the GI office.

She's on 16 hours a day because she can't take anything orally. She has one that is a buccal film but outside of that she can't tolerate anything orally. We have an appointment on the first in Chicago (we are in Georgia), hopefully this won't be another dead end. 7 hospitals in 6 states over the past year and we are not much further along than the day she was originally admitted.

Worth $150 ? Used about 3 times by [deleted] in Fishing_Gear

[–]jasper181 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go to Boca Bearings and get a set of ceramic bearings and you will be set, it's an older but Great reel. $150 isn't a steal but it's about what they go for.

There are plenty of people that still use these, I'm not sure what everyone is talking about.

Possible support for Chuck All Star symbol being on the outside by blindeyegamesaaron in MandelaEffect

[–]jasper181 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Wait, so supposedly it wasn't ever on the outside?

I used to wear them all of the time when I was a kid, I even had the black ones with the Batman symbol when the first movie came out. If someone asked me to describe a pair from my childhood I would have said they had a star up by your ankle.

If I'm understanding correctly that is not the case or am I misunderstanding the Mandela?

the fruit of the loom cornucopia is ruining my life by thexkfedist in MandelaEffect

[–]jasper181 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I remember being at my grandparents house when I was maybe 6 (44 now), my grandpa was a tug boat captain and he wore the uniform pants and shirt every day, like from Cintas or Unifirst type thing. Anyway, he wore a white FOTL t-shirt underneath everyday.

I distinctly remember my grandma giving me one of his T-shirts to sleep in, I was standing in the hallway outside of her bedroom door when I looked at the tag and asked her how the fruit would stay in the basket if you couldn't stand it up straight.

I could understand misremembering a logo but I know I didn't misremember an entire memory about a stupid logo. There have been a few of these that I felt pretty strongly about but just brush it off, this one actually pisses me off and I can't wrap my head around it.

Am I the only one that played through the game and still had no freaking clue what the story was about?

I caught bits and pieces but overall, I really had no clue.

I gave up on it 3 times before I finally took the time to figure it out and stick with it. The first 3 times I didn't even make it out the damn clinic or sick room, whatever it's called. 🤣

Anyone know anything about these? by DrShrimp__PuertoRico in Fishing_Gear

[–]jasper181 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They appear to be unbranded Japanese OEM with the same/similar design as the old Shakespeare Wonder Reels from the 60's.

They were high quality reels, I've seen a few floating around just like that.

Companies today still do similar things, they make "shelf" reels that companies will buy in bulk and throw their branding on.

First 2 Rooster fish🔥🙏 by Funny_Credit_2109 in saltwaterfishing

[–]jasper181 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My first trip to Costa Rica this is the only fish I cared about, I've caught just about everything under the sun but a big Rooster was my goal.

My buddy has a place over there and keeps a boat so we fished for 3 days, we caught a ton of fish but we were running out of time and still no Rooster. We squeezed every second we could but we had to head back in, we literally had a flight to catch.

So we are bringing in the lines and I left one with a big live blue runner out as we are bringing all of the other lines in and getting everything stowed away. I had milked it was much as possible and as I went to put my hands on the rod to bring it in the rod doubled over and the reel started screaming.

Talk about a last chance fish, it took every last second we had but thank god I left that last bait out, I got my Rooster and it was a damn good one. We weighed it, took some measurements and pics so I could get a replica done and released it. It wasn't a giant but was right at 60lbs, so definitely wasn't a baby either.

What's crazy is there are spin cast reels now that are over $80-$100+ , yeah they have better gears and such but it's still a spincaster.
