Welcome Lori.. I'm Janeen (aka Swannie)

[HugoBox]

Hi all -

I've posted a time or two but mostly just check in here cause I didn't want to post a bunch and crash the ladies' party.

That said, I see that you take it easy on the fellas so here's a bit about me.

I'm 36-ish, live in the north Metro, fish White Bear, Bald Eagle, and Forest Lake a ton. The last few years I've pretty much targeted only muskies- or become a Musky Snob if you ask my brother, BoxMN, who is also a frequent FM poster. With two little girls at home (3 and 5) I'd be in a world of hurt with the Mrs. if I traveled much further to do my fishing. That said, she's great and enjoys getting out with me when she can and obviously family days on the water with the kiddos chasing sunnies is a blast.

The time I don't spend chasing kids or muskies I enjoy trying to scare the occasional duck down. I've dialed my time hunting back a bit since we've had kids and I figure I'm such a bad shot the chance of them dying of a heart attack is about as good as actually hitting one.

Well, enough about me, I know you're all good folks and look forward to sharing a bit from time to time.

Hey Hugo, welcome. I have seen your brothers post a lot. I you are nice to the ladies, they will treat you nice also.

There are a couple goofy guys that visit this site quite often.

I did almost the same thing as you when the children were young. We did go fishing and camping, but the hunting really took a nose dive, and my brothers still laugh at me trying to shoot a grouse.

This is the best web site I have ever been on I'm am glad I found it. FM and HSO well done. Well after reading most of this thread I guess it's my turn.

Being this is in the Women forum I should just start by saying I'm single.(I'm kidding)

My name is Todd I grew up in Arlington, MN and currently living in Hutchinson, MN. I'm 30 yrs old, at least until the Ides of March, full time father of one. He will be 5 this year and we both love anything that involves water. Currently in college at Ridgewater going for UUHHHMMMM, undecided I guess. Maybe a male nurse like Greg Focker in Meet the Parents, who knows. With the economy the way it is I don't think there is a better place to be right now anyway. Mr. Mom and a college student is a tight schedule but we go fishing every chance we get.

Oh yeah one more thing. I started a thread in camping that has gone dead. I bet the ladies could get it going again. Its titled the most stupid thing ever said fishing....? Let's see if we can keep it going. I thought I started something good but I see Lisa and the girls have out done me with this one for sure.

Very nice thread. Hope to meet and see some of you on the water. Remember, stay on top of the ice.

Welcome to the women's forum Todd, cute kid you've got there!!!

I think one of the best days of my life was finding this forum. I have met so many nice people and learned so many valuable things. I am going to check out your thread under the camping forum and see if I can contribute to it.

[Lisa Almquist]

Hi Todd! Nice to meet you!

Well, so I hear your single. That's great. Remember the women's forum IS not a dating forum. Just want to put that out there ok? I'm not trying to make you feel bad or sad. But listen now, you are always welcome to contribute here!! As you can tell, we have a lot of fun on FM. It gets pretty addicting doesn't it?!

PS. You have a very cute little boy and I LOVE your Schell's hat! MMMMM...Schell's!

[Bottle Fish]

I know, I was just having some fun with y'all. It is a very addicting site that is for sure. It is almost as fun as Bockfest in New Ulm. Kidding again, nothing is that fun.

When is that? That would rock!!

[Bottle Fish]

Sorry Lisa you just missed it was Feb 21st I'll let you know for next year though.

[Debbie K]

I'm new to this site too, but found the women's group after seeing the photo group.

About Me - I'm the proud nana to two boys and hopefully a girl in November. As I've gotten older, I enjoy the outdoors more.

I enjoy fishing, but I enjoy photography more. I usually tag along with DH as he is the "big" fisherman in the family.

I look forward to getting to know more about everyone and if DH and I don't go camping the wkend of the GTG, I just might join you. DH and I also enjoy camping and will be taking out first BWCA trip this fall.

[Steve Foss]

Nice to meet you, Debbie. Welcome to HSO/FM. Great to have you here. I'm also a BWCAW type of fella, and I wish you well on your camping trip.

[Debbie K]

Thank you Steve - I think I've seen you on cameratalk??

[UdeLakeTom]

Welcome Debbie...I'm thinking of getting back into photograpy now that I have a little spare time.

[Steve Foss]

Yep, I've visited a time or two, but HSO/FM is home to me.

[reelemin]

Welcome Debbie to FM and the womens forum.

[hopeforfish]

Welcome Debbie, we are a fun group of gals and it would be great if you could join us at the GTG. We have been fairly quite lately but we tend to be pretty chatty.

Hope

[Lisa Almquist]

Hi Debbie! Great to have you here on Fishing MN/HotSpotOutdoors!!

What is your favorite subject to photograph?

We would love to have you at the Women's GTG in June! Here's a dumb question though: who's DH?

[Iambjm]

Welcome Debbie, I agree with Lisa about making it to the women's GTG. It is one great time, good food too!

Lisa, DH is "dear hubby"

Maybe you are too used to me calling mine the "old grouch"

[Debbie K]

Thank you for the warm welcome everyone.

Lisa - I shoot mostly landscape and slowly getting into wildlife and birds.

And the GTG sounds more and more interesting. I used to do a girl's fishing wkend and really miss it.
