The Arrogant Worms Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 (edited) I am incredibly lucky at gambling. If I go to a casino(which isn't often)....... I rarely lose and if I go down $25 I quit. And if I am up by $50 I stop also. The past 2 weeks I have won over $2000 on Keno. And earlier this year won over $8000 on Keno in a 7 week period. I win $400 plus all the time paying the Diamond pattern on Keno. Have won 3/4 on the Extra 6 times (one time the 4th number was 1 off or it would have been $500,000) I won $25,000 on Keno 7 years ago. And 30 years ago I won $20,000 on a Bingo scratch and win ticket. Edited November 27, 2023 by The Arrogant Worms Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post bishopshodan Posted November 29, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted November 29, 2023 I'm soo happy/proud right now. For the last 3 years I have been taking a young lacrosse player to the gym at 6am every weekday, when his dad cant due to work. I have seen him turn into a man and been inspired by his dedication. As a teen I would not have ben able to get out of bed that consistently. I just got a text. He has been signed to a 100% scholarship to a Uni in Alabama. I never had kids so this makes me feel, in a very small way, that I helped a young dude achieve what he has been going after. I dont get happy like this very often. 3 5 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilbur Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 I'm 43 and have never seen the Princess Bride. Not that I'm avoiding it, just never watched it for some weird reason. I probably would enjoy it. Also, I had my first peanut butter jelly sandwich today. Once again, not purposely avoiding them, just never had one. It came up in conversation in my class today (I teach a Culinary class), so my students made me one . 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gurn Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 The Princess Bride has one of the best sword fights ever done on film. Highly recommend the movie, Mandy Patinkin was excellent, and the rest were great as well. When doing the preliminary casting they wanted a giant, and Andre said "Yes'.

6of1_halfdozenofother Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 I will say though that if you have 50 or so hours to burn, and don't mind that the dialogue is in Cantonese, this is a damn fine series to watch in its entirety (about 59-60 episodes): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Legend_of_the_Condor_Heroes_(1983_TV_series) It's an adaptation of a Louis Cha novel, with the breakout of Genghis Khan interested in attacking the Sung dynasty as the era setting, with other previous and subsequent movie and television adaptations - and in my humble opinion, none of which match the story-telling, scene-making, and acting of this specific TV series. The only thing that comes across as a bit cheezy is the "graphics" they use to convey special moves. But, it's period-appropriate for when it was made (in fact, a bit ground-breaking for its time, before computers really took over the special effects).
