Angela Bristow?

Here’s a thought…after you go out and purchase new fishing/hunting gear, you could stop off at a jewelry store and pick her up a pretty bauble. Just a suggestion and a GREAT distraction!! And usually the jewelry lasts a whole lot longer than the latest greatest fishing lure . I know that would work on me, usually more so though when it comes to snowmobiling stuff – fishing stuff, I’m usually at the store with the husband picking stuff out too!! Good luck!!

Ok…I thought I was pretty up to date…I know what mauve is…I know what voicejail is…and I’ve used YouTube…

…but what the heck is a pretty bauble?

…but what the heck is a pretty bauble?

I’m guessing it has to do with Jewelry….

Who is Angela Bristow?

She’s a member that posted in another forum…and Chappy…go to your room.

My definition of a bauble is a pretty stone as in a ring for you young bucks unless I missed the point in my old age.

Hi BrianK! As OldBear said a “pretty bauble” is a pretty stone (or it can be pretty stoneS too guys) in a ring, necklace, earrings – pretty much anything with a little sparkle to it. I would say these days the more appropriate term would be “bling”.

I think all you guys should go out and get your Favorite Wives, significant others, Moms, etc. a little bling or bauble. And Chris – if you are reading this, my birthday is next weekend .

YOU TELL THEM ANG!

That Husband of yours better do soemthing nice for you.

*hanging my head and walking out the door* “YES DEAR!” ( mumbling to self… ) “why do I feel like I’m being punished”

I heard my grandfather use the term bauble. he always had a mouthfull of loose leaf, ready to spit at any time. Anyway, when we were out fishing he says to me(with the mouthfull of Redman), and pointing at a pint of Old Crow- Hey pass me that bauble”.
I am assuming a pretty bauble would be holding a fancy wine .

I am asuming that a pretty bauble [something pretty and shining] would be a woman who likes to fish. These kinds of women are very hard to find, appreciate your love for being on the water, knows and understands your addiction to fishing, and you better take VERY good care of her. Some guys are fortunate enough to find a gal like that. As for me….well my X liked to be out in the boat when it was 80 degrees laying out in the sun in the front part of the boat getting a suntan while I fished. Whats wrong with that you say? I didn’t say that she appreciated me.
Thanks, Bill

Just remember guys a “pretty bauble” only buys you one half hour of forgiveness. It does not mean you can spend equal value on fishing gear, hunting gear or your dog. It’s meant to convey “thoughtfullness” and only has as much value as she deems. Regardless of price. If you think a “pretty bauble” means it’s OK to have a extra beer with the guy’s………you be wrong. If you think a “really pretty bauble” means you can sneak in an extra hour on the river…………..you be wrong. If you think a “pretty bauble” is anything more then a bribe……….you be wrong again.

Bottom line, if you have been married more then one day, the “pretty bauble” makes perfect sense and you understand it completely.

Thanks Angela!

It’s amazing what a person can learn on IDA…and it’s also an avenue to give subtle little reminders…

Chris my man…you have just heard the warning shot! …and unlike Don’s dad’s, Angela’s bauble better not be wrapped in a brown paper bag!

Well, when the husband went out and got a brand new snowmobile last year, I certainly didn’t go out on a shopping spree for myself. His happiness was gift enough for me. BUT I have said that if he ever wanted to spend that kind of money on a pretty “bauble” for me, #1 – it would certainly last longer than the two or three years he gets out of his snowmobile and #2 – the best part is, I could wear it every day, not just 5 months out of the year. Its the gift that keeps on giving. Honestly though, I’d rather have a new boat than a pretty piece of jewelry any day. Just means I’d get to spend more time on the water with my honey. Kicking his butt fishing!!

Ah, the Old Crow. There’s just something about a whiskey in a plastic bottle….

Hey Angela, do shiney new silver or gold jigs count? How about a shiney chrome or silver crankbait?

My wife got both as a 25th anniversary gift last night… And I was still allowed to sleep in the house

(of course, the pair of earings and necklace probably helped…)

My thoughts exactly… :emoticon – looking over both shoulder with squinted eyes:

King185 – very original gifts. Tackle AND jewelry, good combo!! I like your style.

As for the rest of y’all, I’m just sayin’, a nice gift for the lady in your life every once in awhile is not a bad thing. Don’t you think they deserve it for having to put up with you??

Just for Gary, I will help a Brother out.

Angie………. That was 2 years ago.

Besides that, kicking his butt fishing is not very tough to do.

I’ve definately heard the shots over the bow and they are getting close.

Angela just remember how pretty the new bedroom furniture is and how you need a good guide to get you to spots to kick my butt in fishing. Happy upcoming birthday! .

Lip – Have fun this weekend taste testing wedding cake and picking out center pieces while I’m out fising. A true snowmobiler knows when Hay Days is too
