Whay kind of fly tying equipment should I buy?

I am a long time fisherman, but I have recently gotten serious about fly fishing. I am going to start tying my own flies, and I need some info about what kind of equipment to buy.
I have looked at the starter kits, and generally read that the equipment included is of lower quality, and is not great if you want to be a serious fly tyer. What brand/type of equipment would you recommend to someone who wants it to last through years of use and increasing experience?

Price is important as I am a college student with limited resources. Thanks for the help.

Why do I find this so disturbing?

A long time ago I went on a trip(not acid trip real trip)and when I was sitting I felt so calm and I suddenly started to imagine myself in a lighthouse with lots of windows.I started walking all the way up and thru the windows I started to see flying whales and flying fish soaring thru the clouds.I felt so calm yet so disturbed.The whales were huge and the fish were like tuna fish.I loved the site.I kept on seeing them in my head flying for like 1 hour.I felt so disturbed.Why?Why was it that I felt disturbed even if I liked the sight?Has anyone of you ever have an exepirince like me?

I have just started dating my ex-girlfriend. Can anyone give me some dos and don’ts?

Okay I have had a few gfs but NEVER dated an ex. I always figured what’s the point? Plenty of fish in the sea, etc. But this girl….she’s something special. We just met again at a party after a long time apart and the sparks FLEW if you know what I mean.

Anyway this girl is a hot brunette and she is worth the risk I think even tho 100% of my male friends say I’m stupid to try this. The only ones who say its not dumb are my female friends they are supportive. Anyway I want to try it so screw them, it’s not their life and they can do what they want.

What I am looking for here is some advice. I’ve never been with an ex and I don’t want it to go to shit. Should I not talk about anything from our past? We were together 8 months the first time including a whole summer & part of fall living together. I have been not bringing up anything from that time period but she says we need to talk about it? Why??? Why do girls always want to talk about that stuff?

Anyway shoot with some advice.

How much money would be saved by removing the troops from the middle east?

How much money would actually be saved by pulling troops out of the middle east? Time after time critics argue that we are waisting money by being in the middle east..Money to rebuild will always be going to the middle east for a long time to come..If the troops were not in the middle east some of them would still be deployed. US troops get paid regardless of war or not..The military still trains and fires live rounds whether they are in Iraq or not..Ships still sail, jets still fly, Marines still deploy, reservist still drill, life goes on….All this cost money regardless of whether we are at war or not..So then why do some think we would be a richer Nation if we pulled out of Iraq?? Some claim the “recession” is due to the middle east..How are these two things tied together?? How much money would actually be saved? During times of peace everyone seems to be “ok” with the enormous defense budget, then why whine now about it??

Did Tradition fly out the window a long time ago in this situation?

I’m a single mom I work I go to school so I think I’m a very hard working person but for the past couple of years I haven’t had any luck with guys. Lately its my self-esteem level hit a big time low. My family moved to a new town about two years ago and being a single mom I haven’t had much of a chance to make new friends! About two years ago right before I moved one of my friend’s took me over to one of her guy friend’s houses and him and I hit it off really well. We started talking and it was great. Then I remembered that I was moving soon and I couldn’t do a long distance relationship plus I was really scared it was my first time being in a kind of relationship since I had my little girl so I kind of scared him off by pushing my daughter on him to fast. So he stopped calling and we never saw each other again. Then about 3 weeks ago he calls up my friend and ask for my number just out of the blue and he starts calling me again. I’ve talked to him a few times its really boosting my self-esteem. I know that the two of us have grown up a lot but I’m still kind of scared. I just don’t know why this guy I only met once 2 yrs ago wants anything to do with me now. I didn’t even think he ever thought of me again after it ended. I want to ask him that but I’m scared to. I have my own confessions to make like how I kind of knew what I was doing when I scared him off but I’m afraid if I tell him that I kinda meant to do it he might get scared again. I don’t know why but I’m happy to just be able to talk to him when he calls me its like the 2 yrs never happened. And my friend she just keeps saying I knew there was something there. He said that he hasn’t had a real girl friend in 3 yrs and its kinda the same with me could it be that we are both just lonely. ( he’s a cute guy and very nice I know he wouldn’t have trouble finding a girl but he works a lot.) I just don’t know what to do or what to think why after 2 yrs? Him and I talked about what happened 2 yrs ago and we apologized for it. Things after that went well. I’m going back to my home town soon and I asked him if I came into town if he would like to go out and do something (this was when the chances of me coming were a maybe) he said he would love to. So I texted him about a week ago and told him that I am coming into town and he didn’t say much about it. I told him all of the plans that I had set so far. He didn’t say much but started talking about this float trip that he wanted to go on but couldn’t cuz he didn’t have a date. He never said anything about me coming into town and seeing him when I do. We got off of the phone and I thought well maybe he’s lost interest in me. So I told the mutual friend and another girl they both said he’s being shy and I should just ask him. After I got off the phone with them He called me which I though was really strange. He said that he was fishing and was thinking of me and wanted to see how I’m doing so I said great and he said that’s good and we talked for a little bit longer. Then after about 5 mins he said ok well I have to go so I just wanted to see how you were doing and I will talk to you later. It was strange. My friends say that proves he’s shy and nerves. I am in a debate on if I should ask him out or not. I’m still a little scared. I don’t normally ask guys out. So what do you all think I should do?
