Were is the drag on a fly fishing reel?
suitable present for someone who’s into fly fishing?
I know I’ve left it a bit late but I need to buy a Christmas present for my sisters boyfriend who’s just come over from Australia for a holiday.
Apparantly he’s really into fly fishing and making his own stuff for it – can anyone suggest a present that I could get him….and maybe a site where I could purchase it.
(I know absolutely nothing about fishing I’m afraid !)

I need to know the artist of a song…?
Ok, I realize that most people have never heard this song, but I’m hoping somebody, somewhere knows what I’m looking for. The song is on an old RCA cassette from 1987 and is labeled “Christmas With You.” I can’t find this song anywhere; I’d like to replace the cassette with a CD or a download. Part of the lyrics go: (chorus) coming home to Christmas with you, it’s like I’ve never been gone. I can’t wait to see the look of love in your eyes, feel my every dream coming true. ‘Cuz I’ve waited a year to be here spending Christmas with you.” and some of the verses say: “Snow is falling, everywhere. Traffic tied up, I don’t care. I’ll be flying on the wings of love tonight…I close my eyes and my heart can see the celebration that’s waiting for me.” Serious answers only.
I just assumed it would be in the Christmas genre. lol. And, yeah, I’ve tried typing in the lyrics on search engines. Several times, different lyrics and different engines. I’ve been looking for this for about two years…surely a song can’t be recorded on a cassette with other well known Christmas songs and just drop off in space, right? The other songs are “Run, Rudolph, Run” by Chuck Berry, “Auld Lang Syne”, “Blue Christmas” by Elvis Presley, and I think there are two others as well. Thanx for the answers, though.

is this a good Tall Tale?
As I walked into my den on Christmas morning, imagine my surprise as my parents introduced me to my “present”, an adopted baby brother! Except, he wasn’t a baby, he was 11 years old and he was a large gopher, with buck teeth… named Christian. Now, he was an extremely cute and real entertaining, but it wasn’t the type pet I was looking for.
That night, the gopher, Christian, moved into an adjoining room to mine. Better yet, we got to share the same bathroom and you know Christian is a boy and you know how boys are in the bathroom. At least he had nice fur and Santa had left a leash in my stocking just for Christian.
After my parents went to sleep, I went into Christian’s room and tied the leash around his neck. That’s correct, I didn’t hook it properly, but instead tied it in a slip knot, like a noose. My plan was to accidentally drop him out of my window and let the leash do him in and actually, I executed my plan perfectly, but evidently, Christian was not a normal gopher. As he plunged out of the window, he started moving his jaws really fast and talking non-stop and somehow began to fly. I have never heard any human or animal talk that much or that loud, but it worked amazingly. The only problem was that I was attached to the other end of the leash and this blooming gopher was flying and pulling me along with it.
As we flew over the Cooper River Bridge, I finally stopped screaming, but he didn’t ever quit talking. Later that night as he flew me back into my window, I realized that this was the best pet ever and I surely didn’t want to hang him anymore. We go flying every night after my parents go to sleep and I make sure he get’s lots of gopher food. Even though, he never quits talking and is really loud, he is my best friend and my favorite pet.
