A little edgy

fishbuck - 7-11-2008 at 04:44 AM

If you've been reading my posts you know I've been a bit on edge.
I've been going a little baja and fishing crazy. I get like this sometimes.
But I have a funny story that's a little personal but I think it's okay to tell.
I visited my girl at TJbeach last weekend. She was concern because she has a scar. She showed me the scar and it really wasn't that bad. But she doesn't like it and wants to get surgery to fix it. Fair enough. So I ask how much. $1500. Wow that's alot.
But you know if things work out I might just pitch in a few bucks. And while were there we might just as well get a little tune up on some other areas. Ya know, since we already there.
I mean not that she needs it or anything. But since we're already there and all.
I've got to say that this is really making Baja alot more fun for me. And what I mean is connecting with the people of baja.
Prior to this my explorations have been mostly geographical but now the are more social in nature. I'm establishing relationships. And learning about the people.
It makes Baja a much warmer place.(Metaphorically speaking)
But you know this might just cut into my fishing money a little. But it just doesn't seem to bother me that much. In fact I believe I might enjoy improving the beauty of Baja.
Hey, I'm only trying to help!
:cool:

Take it slow. I had the same situation once with a lady who wanted to have her breasts enlarged > $2,000 (at that time). I told her I didn't have that kind of money but I could help her out if she did one this summer, one the next. She was really picky. Never saw her again.

Capt. George - 7-11-2008 at 07:54 AM

just show me one and I'll know what both look like!

thebajarunner - 7-11-2008 at 08:42 AM

$2000 each, or for the pair?

Osprey - 7-11-2008 at 08:52 AM

Some of you might have worked in San Pedro. Sorry.

Sounds like you are still maintaining your geographic explorations, Fishbuck.:o:yes:

As long as we have been notified of the tragic flaw, can you send us a picture of the scar? We're family, doncha know?:biggrin:

Sharksbaja - 7-11-2008 at 11:13 AM

Don't do it. You'll/she'll look silly in years to come. Besides, do you want your gal to look like a hooker? Big (fake) gazoongas are out doncha know. And besides, nobody likes a fake!:biggrin:

Ken Cooke - 7-11-2008 at 01:09 PM

¿¿$1,500.00?? Just tell her the recent inflation has made it difficult for you to loan her this money. You care deeply about her, but this is a difficult time for you to share that much money.

Somebody is pulling someone’s leg or it's an Exit Stage Left time!

ELINVESTIG8R - 7-11-2008 at 01:26 PM

Like Grover says just go to Adelitas! Not that I have ever been there... As a point of good advice, if any woman you start to date says in any language “Loan me some money for...” Don’t walk, Runnnnnnnnnn like the wind and immediately do an "Exit Stage Left."

Stay out of Adelitas. Its not worth the liklihood of STDs. Theres more options than that place. Just let your lady friend know that you don´t have the money and that you don´t find the scar unattractive. Tell her, In time, she can pay ´monthly´to have the scar removed. At Adelitas, you can´t pay enough money to have some STDs removed. It ain´t worth it.

ELINVESTIG8R - 7-11-2008 at 01:44 PM

Fish I hope you know I am kidding about Adelitas. There is not enough penicillin to get you back in good order if you were to visit that place.

Fish, you are also supplying some much needed entertainment to us Nomads while you are warming yourself in Baja.:lol:

fishbuck - 7-11-2008 at 01:50 PM

I don't think she was asking for money. But maybe.
She wants to get it fixed someday when she has enough money. She was just a little self-conscious about it and trying to explain.
She never mentioned it again.

tripledigitken - 7-11-2008 at 01:57 PM

$1,500....................................?:o

Think I'd buy a Garmin GPS for that boat!:bounce:

k-rico - 7-11-2008 at 02:09 PM

Mr. Fishbuck,

I'm a newbie so I don't know nothing. However, I think what's needed here are photographs of the scar and its owner.

Its size, location, and the overall appearance of the owner have a lot to do with whether or not its worth fixing.

You know, it's like the difference between an old panga and a new sport fisher.

"take what you can, give nothing back!" That way you still have something to spend on the next one just over the horizon, or around the corner.

Maybe even a better one!

Have you ever fished with Dale over at Puertecitos? You sound like one of his customers!:lol:
But thanks for the advice.:cool:

But i've done a lot of hunting both 2 and 4 legged and I can tell you this, women will never tell the truth even when their being honest, it's just not in their genes. "nice guys will always finish last as any woman will always consider them weak".

Pescador - 7-11-2008 at 05:30 PM

Shoot if Fishbuck is smart enough to not want to throw away $400 on a one day fishing trip with Dale, I think when he was thinking about throwing a little money towards the scar it was like $20. or the cost of a rapala.

Good grief! a non- fishing woman hater!!I'd be sure to take that advice!!:lol:

It may seem harsh, but you are the rich gringo mark ....'

If you want to pay for compaionship see a professional woman... she will only ask for money once.

You may be right, I don't agree. I think whatever women have in their genes is probably more important that what you have in your jeans.:fire:

Three Cheers for Old Lady, I wondered how long it was going to take before someone had an incisive remark about the sexist remarks. Good for you.

I would consider that a typical response!

Old Lady,

Right on!

"what women have in their jeans is more important than what men have in their genes."

Did I spell that right?:rolleyes:

Oh the geniality

In reading your account, it sounds like you are best sticking with fishing. $1500 can buy lots of equipment.

$1500 can get you a lot of scars too, depending on how accessible you make it. :o:o:lol:

Just remember, men control the sex of our species:P

fishbuck - 7-13-2008 at 01:34 PM

I guess I should have expected this post to take a little nose dive.
Anyway, This lady is pretty classy and seems to have her own money. She's independent and appears to run a sucessful party rental business.
So far I think she likes me for me. If she thinks I'm a rich gringo she's going to be disappointed.
But I do like her little "enhancement" project. If there ever is any after photos I'll ask her if I can post them.
But like I was saying I have no complaint with her the way she is.
:yes:

Bob H - 7-13-2008 at 01:46 PM

Fishbuck..... the best of luck with your FIND! Looking forward to your upcoming photos!

You appear to not be married...women control the sex. That is why men pay for casual sex.
Once again, you misinterpreted the statement. You are a ignoramus. :lol:

Edgy is an Understatement

Dear Fishbuck,

I hope that you originally posted this thread with the idea of being humorous and with a wish to "bait" (get the irony?) the usual suspects, the kneejerk or just jerk responders.

I also suspect that you are aware of the meaning of the word "oversharing".

If this lady you are describing is a real person that you have a relationship with, I earnestly believe that you are doing her a great disservice by dispensing all this intimate detail to an open forum on the internet.

Rant Over, GJ

Cypress - 7-13-2008 at 02:59 PM

Gypsy Jan,:O Boys talk, so do girls.:biggrin:

capn.sharky - 7-13-2008 at 03:30 PM

Don't be a boob. Women are like grains of sand on the beaches of the world--there are millions of them. Make a contract with this one---$100 for every favor extended. By the time she has only $300 of your money---you will be tired of her and ready to move on to the next conquest. This way you will make the breast of a bad deal. Remember to never become attached to one and you will live a long and happy life. Women are powerful because they have half the money and all the (you know what). Also, if they ever say something like "we have to talk"--run like hell and don't look back. Just my opinions haveing lived for sixty six years.:biggrin::biggrin::biggrin::biggrin::biggrin:

OK, you all

Gypsy Jan - 7-13-2008 at 09:06 PM

As Ricky Ricardo said to Lucy - "You have some esplaining

So, well, whatever, I think that there is something here.

Jan, you are probably right. Maybe that's just a little too much info. But, yes I find it somewhat humorous.
It's also a little funny that this is the 2nd girl from Baja that I dated that wanted to give herself a "mommy makeover". The other one lived in La Paz. She didn't really need it either.
It is an interesting story. There is more to baja than cactus and cervaza. And not all the ladies stand around the stove making tortillas.
I try to share things that are entertaining. Maybe I go a little overboard sometimes.
And your right. These could be made up stories or real. I guess you'll just have to decide that one for yourself.
Titilating isn't it?:cool:

Yes, it is a little "titillating"

Gypsy Jan - 7-14-2008 at 02:21 PM

For years I listened to the wife of a doctor friend of ours complain that whenever their very hardworking and loyal office staff took their vacations to go home to TJ, that the ladies came back all "enhanced and then, "even more-enhanced".

She said that they assured her that the doctor was very, very, good, "A lot of Beverly Hills 'ladies' go there".

Last Christmas, she visited that good doctor, "just for a freshening up, you know," and spent two weeks in their house in Baja to "celebrate the holidays".

Hey, we all have dreams of making things better, some are different than others.

Hey! Don't blame me!

toneart - 7-14-2008 at 03:27 PM

I didn't write it. Actually, a woman sent it to me. Thought it might fit in with this string:

Only a Wisconsin man can make a women feel like a woman!!!!!

A plane passed through a severe storm. The turbulence was awful, and things went from bad to worse when one wing was struck by lightning.

One woman lost it completely. She stood up in the front of the plane And screamed,
"I'm too young to die," she cried. Then she yelled,
"If I'm going to die, I want my last minutes on earth to be
Memorable! Is there anyone on this plane who can make me feel like a woman?"

For a moment, there was silence. Everyone stared at the desperate woman in the front of the plane.
Then a man from Wisconsin named Cal stood up in the rear of the plane. He was handsome, tall, well built, with dark brown hair and hazel eyes.
Slowly, he started to walk up the aisle, unbuttoning his shirt as he went, one button at a time. No one moved. He removed his shirt. Muscles rippled across his chest. She gasped...

Then, he spoke... "Iron this -- and then get me a beer."
