    I agree, for most people it will be a waste of time. They don't have the patience to learn it.

    Never think that anybody is out for anything else but themselves and their bottom line. Even people in your own family who say they love you, deep down will always do what's best for them first. Even if that involves what looks like a sacrifice, what's really happening is if they didn't do the sacrifice they could not live with themselves. There's no such thing as an unselfish act.

    F-you Spike. I cannot currently refute that argument, no matter how much I'd like to.

    Could you please try to stick to things we can argue about. It would make me happier and take up more of my injury/pain imposed free-time. Saying "yes I agree" just isn't doing it for me:)

    I already liked this post of yours, but I wanted to give it a double ultraviolet thumbs up with two snaps in a counterclockwise mobius loop.

    We are outliers. We must be careful who follows us into the deep desert with no still suit, for shai hulud shall reclaim their water.

    FRANK, Go to a hospital and seek out the finance departmet. Tell them you just got fired your unemployed and have no way to pay for your hernia surgery and need help. They will either seek out financial assistance for you or direct you where to go to find assistance. You probably won't have to pay a dime out of your pocket. IF and this is only IF they give you no help. Go and punch someone in the face. When your arrested state your in extreme pain because of the hernia. Dont let up keep on about it. They will get you to the hospital for surgery. Downside a little jail time. Upside hernia fixed free of charge. If they decide to give you a bill ignore it. It's done all the time. Sorry is this sounds bad but this is real life.

    You're right I can't beat it so I don't even try. You can't beat it either. f you could beat roulette you would be a multi-millionaire. The sky is the limit with that game. What are you doing? Taking it easy on the casinos by not beating them out of all their money? You can't beat them and you know it. Quit the charade.

    I love it when people who have absolutely no idea what I'm doing tell me what I'm doing. The egos of gamblers knows no bounds. It's like I said, you can't beat it so in your tiny mind nobody can beat it. You act like you're the first person to ever tell me this. I've heard it constantly from egomaniac gamblers for the last 15 years. It goes in one ear and out the other with me, it's just blah blah blah noise.

    Oh contraire, when I use the facilities everyday some have heard the sound of angels singing and smelled fields of clover after a spring rain.

    If you quit drinking your favorite liquor company would go out of business.

    I think enough know exactly what you are doing, your are deflecting the reality of your life by posting attention seeking bullshit.

    The sad life of somebody who posts over quarter of a million self opinionated useless posts on the internet.

    God Emperor of Dune was my favorite book. I liked almost all the movies including the Children of Dune mini-series, but not as a true representation of the books. It was more like being able to like Star Wars when you really wanted to see Star Trek.

    They are not similar, but they're both sci-fi.

    I'm stoked about the Babylon 5 reboot.

    The past tempts us, the present confuses us, and the future frightens us. And our lives slip away, moment by moment, lost in that vast, terrible in-between. But there is still time to seize that one last, fragile moment. To choose something better, to make a difference, as you say. Centari Emperor ~Michael J Straczynsk

    I'm just about out of options, so I will look into this. As you mentioned before I'm not the only pro-gambler that never got medical insurance. I know many, several of them have done the medical tourism thing in Mexico or Cuba and they know all the ins and outs. I'm going to tap that resource. I am getting a "real ID" so I can travel next week. I will look into the financial support thing.

    I'm almost embarrassed to admit this but I know almost nothing about financing things or credit. I've paid cash for everything all my life.

    It's weird how pro gambling handicaps you in in-obvious ways even when you make money doing it. I know it handicapped my social life and limited my options for dating. I had to make a rule not to date anyone that gambles (due to bad experiences) and later I added no drinking, no drugs, and no religion. Of course living in Vegas it's hard to find non-gambling substance-abuse-free atheists. You can check two boxes but that third one seems to preclude the former ones.

    Hay Porky...thank you so much for your advice. This medical issue has reached the point of no return.

    He's also deflecting the reality of my life (and constant pain) which at least for the moment I really appreciate and need.

    I'm pretty much house-bound and I'm just not a TV watcher. I'd rather talk to real people. It's a far better distraction than TV.

    That's a good start.

    This a gambling forum, most won't give a fuck, they are dealing with their own issues....

    And I really don't know how "sorry to hear that" from strangers actually helps you.
