Bubba Ray and Lonnie went fishing on Watts Bar Lake as they often do. While they were out in their boat, Lonnie suddenly became curious about the world around him. He asked Bubba Ray, "Bubba Ray, how does this boat float?"

Bubba Ray replied, "Don't rightly know Lonnie."

A little later, Lonnie looked at Bubba Ray and asked, "Bubba Ray, how do fish breath underwater?"

Once again Bubba Ray replied, "Don't rightly know Lonnie."

A little later Lonnie asked Bubba Ray, "Bubba Ray, why is the sky blue?"

Again, Bubba Ray replied, "Don't rightly know Lonnie."

Finally, Lonnie asked Bubba Ray, "Bubba Ray, do you mind my asking you all of these questions?"

Bubba Ray Ain't No Dummy

2010-11-15T12:26:00.000-05:00

Bubba Ray was stopped by a game warden on Watts Bar Lake recently with two buckets of fish leaving a location well known for its fishing.

The game warden asked Bubba Ray, "Do you have a license to catch those fish?"

Bubba Ray replied to the game warden, "No, sir. These are my pet fish."

"Pet fish?" the warden replied.

"Yes, sir. Every night I take these here fish down to Watts Bar Lake and let them swim around for a while. I whistle and they jump back into their buckets, and I take em home."

"That's a bunch of hooey! Fish can't do that!"

Bubba Ray looked at the game warden for a moment, and then said, "Here, I'll show you. It really works."

"Okay, I've GOT to see this!" The game warden was curious now.

Bubba Ray poured the fish into Watts Bar Lake and stood and waited. After several minutes, the game warden turned to Bubba Ray and said:

"Well?"

"Well, What?" Bubba Ray responded.

"When are you going to call them back?" the game warden prompted.

"Call who back?" Bubba Ray asked.

"The FISH."

"What fish?" Bubba Ray asked

Bubba Ray and Lonnie rent a boat and go fishing.

They catch a lot of fish and return to the shore.

Bubba Ray says to the Lonnie, "I hope you marked the spot where we caught all those fish." Lonnie replies, "Yes, I marked an 'X' on the side of the boat to mark the spot." Bubba Ray says to Lonnie sharply, "You idiot. How do you know we'll get the same boat?"

Bubba Ray Nad Lonnie Fishing Trip

2010-04-06T14:39:00.003-04:00

Bubba Ray and Lonnie go on a fishing trip. They rent all the equipment: the reels, the rods, the wading suits, the rowboat, the car, and even a cabin in the woods. They spend a fortune.

The first day they go fishing, but they don't catch anything. The same thing happens on the second day, and on the third day. It goes on like this until finally, on the last day of their vacation, Bubba Ray catches a fish.

As they're driving home they're really depressed. Lonnie turns to the Bubba Ray and says, "Do you realize that this one lousy fish we caught cost us fifteen hundred dollars?"

The Bubba Ray says, "Wow! It's a good thing we didn't catch any more!"

Fishermen on WATTS BAR LAKE

Two fishermen were out on the WATTS BAR LAKE when one of them dropped his wallet. As they watched the wallet float down to the depths of the lake, a carp came along and snatched up the wallet. Soon came another carp who stole it away and then a third joined in. Remarked one of the fisherman,

"That's the first time I've ever seen carp-to-carp walleting."

A THANKSGIVING POEM

2008-11-19T09:41:00.004-05:00

BLACK NOVEMBER
When I was a young turkey, new to the coop,

My big brother Mike took me out on the stoop,

Then he sat me down, and he spoke real slow,

And he told me there was something that I had to know;
His look and his tone I will always remember,

When he told me of the horrors of..... Black November;

"Come about August, now listen to me,

Each day you'll get six meals instead of just three,
"And soon you'll be thick, where once you were thin,

And you'll grow a big rubbery thing under your chin; "

And then one morning, when you're warm in your bed,

In'll burst the farmer's wife, and hack off your head;
"Then she'll pluck out all your feathers so you're bald 'n pink,

And scoop out all your insides and leave ya lyin' in the sink;

"And then comes the worst part" he said not bluffing,

"She'll spread your cheeks and pack your rear with stuffing".
Well, the rest of his words were too grim to repeat,

I sat on the stoop like a winged piece of meat,

And decided on the spot that to avoid being cooked,

I'd have to lay low and remain overlooked;
I began a new diet of nuts and granola,

High-roughage salads, juice and diet cola;

And as they ate pastries, chocolates and crepes,

I stayed in my room doing Jane Fonda tapes;
I maintained my weight of two pounds and a half,

And tried not to notice when the bigger birds laughed;

But 'twas I who was laughing, under my breath,

As they chomped and they chewed, ever closer to death;
And sure enough when Black November rolled around,

I was the last turkey left in the entire compound;

So now I'm a pet in the farmer's wife's lap;

I haven't a worry, so I eat and I nap;
She held me today, while sewing and humming,

And smiled at me and said "Christmas is coming..."

Credit Report-Watch Out For Traffic Tickets(WHO KNEW?)

2007-12-19T13:31:00.000-05:00

Credit Report - Watch Out for Parking Tickets

The economic downturn of the last five years has affected millions of Americans, but it has also affected the budgets of states, cities and counties. With limited tax dollars with which to work, various government entities have had to try to stretch their budgets to allow them to continue to function. Many government agencies at the state and local levels have turned over debt collection to collection agencies, even for such seemingly small debts as parking tickets or library fines. What does this mean? An unpaid parking ticket could end upon on your credit report.

Credit reports and the associated FICO credit score have become an increasingly important part of the lives of Americans. At one time, the credit report was primarily used by mortgage lenders to determine if a prospective customer should be granted a loan. In recent years, the credit score and report have been used for an increasingly large number of uses by all kinds of companies. Employers use them to avoid hiring financially irresponsible people and landlords use them to determine if a person might be a responsible tenant. As credit reports are used more often, blemishes on your credit report become magnified in importance. In past years, only significant unpaid debts or bankruptcy filings might have inhibited the issuing of credit. But now, with credit reports being used by so many more businesses, something as small as an unpaid parking ticket can prevent someone from obtaining a job or a lease on a good apartment.

This system isn’t all that equitable; not all cities and counties report unpaid fines to the credit bureaus. Worse, while the company that originated the FICO score has adjusted their scoring system to account for small fines, not all lenders use that version of the scoring system. Because of this, whether or not such small things affect your credit score is can be determined by something as simple as where you live or with whom you choose to do business. Fair or not, consumers need to be aware that some small debts may find their way into the credit score and the only way to be sure is to check your credit report regularly.

Most Americans can obtain a copy of their credit report for free at www.annualcreditreport.com. Many people who have had their scores negatively affected by small fines were unaware that they even owed them. This can happen if the debtor has recently moved. Paying the fine can quickly resolve the problem and raise the credit score again, so by all means, check your credit report!

HOLIDAY SPENDING

2007-11-26T13:13:00.000-05:00

Holiday Spending

During the holiday season last year, I really damaged my credit - I saw my FICO credit score drop almost 40 points from October to January! Can you give me some advice on how to avoid hurting my credit this holiday season and help me spot common pitfalls that could lower my FICO credit score?

The holiday season can bring more surprises than a pair of argyle socks or a knitted sweater embroidered with your name - it can also cause the post-holiday blues when you get your credit card statements after the last of the eggnog is gone! Retailers bombard you with special promotions like 10% off of your total purchase by opening a department store credit card with them. These offers are hard to resist when you want to get your family and friends the perfect gifts, so I understand the temptation to charge, charge, charge. I'll give you a few tips and reminders about how to best manage your credit so you don't once again fall down into a FICO® hole that you need to climb out of.

Problem #1 – charging more than you can pay off.It's common to go a little overboard during the holidays – those iPhones that everybody wants this year aren’t cheap! It's easy to rationalize that this is the "giving time" of year and it's okay to charge a little more than usual. This is only true if you're not "giving" so much that you're unable to pay off your credit cards. Receiving credit card bills that you can't pay off can leave you stuck with paying interest on the balances. This is not only money wasted on interest, it's also probably hurting your FICO® score - particularly if you don't typically carry balances on your credit cards. This year, try to budget so that you only charge what you feel comfortable that you can pay off the following month.

Problem #2 – opening new lines of credit for a small savings.Retailers love to tell you how opening a department store card can save you an extra 10% or 20% on your purchases. We've all done the math at the register when the cashier offers to save you 10%; hmmm, so that's $15 bucks off these $150 leather boots by opening this card – tempting alright. The bad news is these department store cards typically charge very high interest rates, so if you carry that $150 balance for even one month, you'll be giving that $15 savings back and then some. Not to mention, each time you open one of these new credit accounts might be dinging your FICO® score. As a general rule, don't accept the new credit offers when shopping; that small savings today, most likely isn't worth it in the long run.

Problem #3 – leaving town and forgetting to pay your bills.If you plan to visit friends or family this year, make sure you pay any bills that are due before you leave town. Traveling during the holidays can exhaust all of your energy and a good chunk of your sanity, so it's easy to forget little things like mailing in your credit card payments. One sure way to hurt your credit is to forget to pay your bills, so this year make sure that you're current with all your bills before heading to grandma's house.

I hope this advice helps you avoid these common holiday credit mishaps.

TIPS FOR RAISING CREDIT SCORES

2007-11-19T16:25:00.000-05:00

Tips for Raising Scores

Payment History Tips

Pay your bills on time.

Delinquent payments and collections can have a major negative impact on your score. If you have missed payments, get current and stay current. The longer you pay your bills on time, the better your score. Be aware that paying off a collection account will not remove it from your credit report. It will stay on your report for seven years.
If you are having trouble making ends meet, contact your creditors or see a legitimate credit consultant. This won't improve your score immediately, but if you can begin to manage your credit and pay on time, your score will get better over time.

Amounts Owed Tips

Keep balances low on credit cards and other “revolving credit”. High outstanding debt can affect a score.
Pay off debt rather than moving it around. The most effective way to improve your score in this area is by paying down your revolving credit. In fact, owing the same amount but having fewer open accounts may lower your score.
Don't close unused credit cards as a short-term strategy to raise your score. Don't open a number of new credit cards that you don't need, just to increase your available credit. This approach could backfire and actually lower score.

Length of Credit History Tips

If you have been managing credit for a short time, don't open a lot of new accounts too rapidly. New accounts will lower your average account age, which will have a larger effect on your score if you don't have a lot of other credit information. Also, rapid account buildup can look risky if you are a new credit user.

New Credit Tips

Do your rate shopping for a given loan within a focused period of time. FICO® scores distinguish between a search for a single loan and a search for many new credit lines, in part by the length of time over which inquiries occur.
Re-establish your credit history if you have had problems. Opening new accounts responsibly and paying them off on time will raise your score in the long term.
Note that it's OK to request and check your own credit report. This won't affect your score, as long as you order your credit report directly from the credit reporting agency or through an organization authorized to provide credit reports to consumers.

Types of Credit Use Tips

Apply for and open new credit accounts only as needed. Don't open accounts just to have a better credit mix - it probably won't raise your score.
Have credit cards - but manage them responsibly. In general, having credit cards and installment loans (and paying timely payments) will raise your score. Someone with no credit cards, for example, tends to be higher risk than someone who has managed credit cards responsibly.
Note that closing an account doesn't make it go away. A closed account will still show up on your credit report, and may be considered by the score.

Consumer Credit Facts Consumer Credit Facts What’s In A Score?

Payment History – 35% Account payment information on specific types of accounts (credit cards, retail accounts, installment loans, finance company accounts, mortgage, etc.) Presence of adverse public records (bankruptcy, judgments, suits, liens, wage attachments, etc.), collection items, and/or delinquency (past due items) Severity of delinquency (how long past due) Amount past due on delinquent accounts or collection items Time since (recency of) past due items (delinquency), adverse public records (if any), or collection items (if any) Number of past due items on file Number of accounts paid as agreed
Amounts Owed – 30% Amount owing on accounts Amount owing on specific types of accounts Lack of a specific type of balance, in some cases Number of accounts with balances Proportion of credit lines used (proportion of balances to total credit limits on certain types of revolving accounts) Proportion of installment loan amounts still owing (proportion of balance to original loan amount on certain types of installment loans)
Length of Credit History – 15% Time since accounts opened Time since accounts opened, by specific type of account Time since account activity
New Credit – 10% Number of recently opened accounts, and proportion of accounts that are recently opened, by type of account Number of recent credit inquiries Time since recent account open-ing(s), by type of account Time since credit inquiry(s) Re-establishment of positive credit history following past payment problems
Types of Credit Used – 10% Number of (presence, prevalence, and recent information on) various types of accounts (credit cards, retail accounts, installment loans, mortgage, consumer finance accounts, etc.)

Please note that:

A score takes into consideration all these categories of information, not just one or two.
No one piece of information or factor alone will determine your score.
The importance of any factor depends on the overall information in your credit report.
For some people, a given factor may be more important than for someone else with a different credit history. In addition, as the information in your credit report changes, so does the importance of any factor in determining your score. Thus, it's impossible to say exactly how important any single factor is in determining your score - even the levels of importance shown here are for the general population, and will be different for different credit profiles. What's important is the mix of information, which varies from person to person, and for any one person over time.

Your FICO score only looks at information in your credit report.

However, lenders look at many things when making a credit decision including your income, how long you have worked at your present job and the kind of credit you are requesting.
Your score considers both positive and negative information in your credit report.
Late payments will lower your score, but establishing or reestablishing a good track record of making payments on time will raise your score.

WATTS BAR LAKE FISHING REPORT

2007-11-17T11:00:00.000-05:00

WATTS BAR FISHING REPORT

Conditions: Most of the lake is murky, with some muddy areas. Surface temperatures range from the low-to-high 50s.
Species: Bass - Fair to good. Smallmouth are being caught in better numbers. Points 8 to 18 feet deep are holding good numbers of fish, with crankbaits, jigs and pig'n jigs working best. Largemouth fishing is good, especially on shallows where they are chasing shad. Crappie - Fair to good. Creek channels with submerged brush or other structure is a good place to start. Minnows fished as shallow as 4 feet or as deep as 20 are catching fish, usually the deeper the bigger. Striped bass - Fair. Fishing is so-so on the lower third of the lake, better from the steam plant upstream. At the steam plant live bait is catching a lot of small stripers. Sauger - Improving. The area below the steam plant is producing a few sauger on jigs tipped with minnows or plain minnows.
