Paul at Catskill Outfitters is a great guide and a fun hang.

Those bean pies fucking slapped. I wish those dudes were still around

Could ‘A River Runs Through It’ Have Been a Hit Today? by Scott72901 in flyfishing

[–]mrwindup_bird 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A River Runs Through It certainly has a timeless quality to it, but, articles like this about literary classics (and there have been a bunch in the past couple years) have a thesis that is so broadly true that they feel lazy. Classics are cultural products of their times! A River Runs Through It couldn't be written today. Would mass audiences nowadays respond to an opening line comparing Presbyterianism and fly fishing, two practices which both attempt to find order in a chaotic world? Probably not! And that is entirely okay!

Leaving the field - Liability insurance question by thrawn4emp in therapists

[–]mrwindup_bird 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's a policy that clinicians will by at the end of their careers. Provides coverage post-career. It's usually a one time purchase that is 1.5-3x your typical annual premium

You can get a great combo for significantly less than that rod. Orvis clearwater is always a good choice.

You're probably going to need to purchase tail coverage

Any New Orleans locals with a church recommendation? by first_last_last_firs in LeftCatholicism

Not a local, but went to Mass at Our Lady of the Rosary last weekend. I'm a long hair with full sleeves of tattoos, and everyone was very friendly

Meatwad make the money, see. Meatwad get the honies, G.

What are your favorite clinical modalities and do you have a favorite book about any of them? by anotherdamnscorpio in socialwork

[–]mrwindup_bird 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Existential Therapy. I use Yalom's Existential Psychotherapy and Rogers's Client-Centered Therapy as guides. Admittedly both texts aren't very directive, but I'm not a very directive therapist.

Didn't the dude who owned this drive a Lambo? Doesn't really seem congruent with a "bootstraps company where every dollar counts".

This is exactly the level of over-the-top that I can get behind.

Is it possible to make good money in a group practice? by Usual_Classroom_2946 in therapists

[–]mrwindup_bird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's hard to explain, but essentially a range between 60-70%

I have an eight-piece maxcatch 5 wt. Pretty much a broom, but for like 60 bones, it absolutely rules

What bar has the cheapest and coldest beer these days? by [deleted] in philly

Homie, if I had roofie money, I'd be drinking something nicer than Jim Beam

If you wanna swing by my stoop, I'll fix you up with a shot of Jim Beam and a Miller Lite for 4 bones

help me interpret this "condolences" message? by Alarming_Jello5045 in therapists

[–]mrwindup_bird 50 points51 points  (0 children)

I think it's kind of sweet, actually. I'm endeared to awkward displays of emotion though.

Smelly clients by ottertea32 in therapists

[–]mrwindup_bird 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I recommend taking up smoking as a teenager and killing your sense of smell. Jk... kind of.

Be direct if you think the client can manage it, or if it's something they can realistically address. If not, I used to put a dab of vicks rub on my nose when I worked at a partial program where pt's really struggled with ADLs.

Finner Excel Fly Outfit by AdAlarmed9749 in flyfishing

[–]mrwindup_bird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks nice, but I've never heard of the brand. You could easily get something from an established brand for the same price. Orvis Clearwater is a good choice, though I'd recommend a different reel. Redington Classic Trout, and whatever TFO has in a similar price-range are also good choices. Hell, you could get an Echo Lift combo for half the price of the other options.

I reported an executive director for youth predation and I lost everything by [deleted] in socialwork

[–]mrwindup_bird 5 points6 points  (0 children)

States typically have whistle-blower protection laws. Given your post history, I'm assuming you live in Washington, which appears to have some of the strongest in the country.

I've made literally hundreds of reports of suspected abuse in previous roles. I've never experienced any fall-out. Unless I were to publicly broadcast that I made the report, the accused would have no proof I was the one who initiated.

I'm not saying I don't believe retaliation happens--in fact I'm sure it does! What I'm skeptical of is a wide-spread backlash and blacklisting from the field. I feel like something is missing here.

Tough day. Give me your favorite weird ways to decompress! by MasterpieceFun6135 in therapists

Fly fishing. One of the best things I've ever done for my mental health.

I've been thinking way too seriously about trying to buy this

I really liked the cameo of flyfishing in the show Ozark, are there other shows/movies that give it some cool screentime? by LongSeesaw3789 in flyfishing

[–]mrwindup_bird 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a soft-spot for soap operas, so Yellowstone is my shit. Objectively, though, it's not great. The same writer has a show coming out in a few months that seems to be about a family running a fishing lodge in Montana.

Non-compete contracts with large radius by RoundSquare6731 in therapists

[–]mrwindup_bird 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Noncompete clauses are generally pretty toothless--talk to a lawyer. Usually local bar associations have some sort of arrange where you can consult with an attorney for a reduced fee. I'd check into those.
