Betting culture, the constant ads, the HIGH likelihood that real attempts in game to alter outcomes now being more commonplace - it all sucks so bad.

No matter how much $ could be had - finding the mistakes in lines - I couldn't do it. I knew it might possess me, I'd obsess day to day. So dirty.

Extreme outliers & trends over years still find their way into some of my analysis.

That being said, finding importance (especially on the negative end, especially high usage) in On/Off for very young players is especially dangerous. It can be so absolutely not predictive.

I gotta take my 2nd shingles shot sometime thus next week or two - hopefully it doesn't "lay me out for a week."

I HATE needles too. Fwiw.

Not stopping me. Shingles horror stories scare me, much more than needles or a week of feeling icky (at worst).

I think Tim Robinson as an actor & screenwriter has already passed David Lynch as a filmmaker in terms of the absolute divisiveness of opinions his work creates.

I kinda dislike the show, while kinda loving(?) it & always wanting to know what's happening next- all at the same time.

It's memorable.

Isn't it great? I retired for over 10 years to completely focus on raising my sons - & while things are a bit tighter now financially because of not making a consistent income that whole time - my sons are thriving. They come to me for advice daily, they are funny, caring, respectful. I'm so lucky.
