Congrats on the discipline to NOT take up any of the sex offers!<br /><br />I am looking forward to the 'final?' chapter of the broken arm story!<br /><br />I'm checking into satellite internet for my RV trailer and if I can get a decent price on solid technology my work-from-home tech support gig could turn into work-from-anywhere-in-the-country tech support gig.Lesterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01221409127717174351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8283462864090963789.post-39256407167717986002020-08-25T15:57:47.140-07:002020-08-25T15:57:47.140-07:00First of all, sorry about not publishing your comm...First of all, sorry about not publishing your comment earlier, I just didn't see it among all the spam comments I'm getting. You would be surprised how many anonymous commenters want to have sex with me. It is so flattering. (That seems to be the only kind of spam comments I'm getting these days).<br /><br />You'll be happy to know that I am actually writing up the next (final?) chapter of my broken arm story right now, including what happened with my groceries. Should be online in the next few days.<br /><br />As for the idea of buying an RV and driving around the country in it? OMG, do you ever have the wrong guy, Lester.

I'll miss you if you stop posting, but I am not one to talk when it comes to sporadic blog posts. Even if there isn't as much content worthy of posting as often as you did before I hope you still find a reason to post now and then. <br /><br />If you're still around after the election when they stop blocking us from having fun, I hope we can finally meet and share a meal or a drink.JT88Keyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14030012435363552208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8283462864090963789.post-90443096730726818452020-08-17T17:32:51.584-07:002020-08-17T17:32:51.584-07:00If this lasts another 6 months, I'll be dead w...If this lasts another 6 months, I'll be dead well before the 6 months are up.

This ...Thanks for your comments and encouragement.<br /><br />This is not the place to get into it, but honestly, there is NO EVIDENCE that the lockdowns did any good at all (I am convinced they caused more deaths due to non-Covid causes than they saved from Covid.<br /><br />And the vaccine may never come, or may not be very effective.

While I don’t agree with everything that has gone on the last few months I ask myself, what we’re the leaders supposed to do? Nothing and let this kill 3 million? <br />And if people would truly work together and stay home, it would go away a lot quicker. Every place is just as busy as before and people have just switch to having parties at homes instead of bars. As an old fart I’ve been stuck at home, grocery store, and Home Depot since March. Pretty sick of it but till there is a vaccine I think it’s just going to keep on going. pokerwaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09535027326126363211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8283462864090963789.post-91375862780811714032020-08-16T21:04:00.838-07:002020-08-16T21:04:00.838-07:00Look like I really get the ball rolling rob.

And even if it does come, it will likely be no more than 50% effective.<br /><br />I can tell you exactly when the stay at home order will be lifted. November 4, 2020.

All the restaurants are closed except for Mc Doanld's take out. Except for going to grocery store we have been prisoners for the last 150 days. I have the money, time, but no will to go to Vegas. The worst is I am a tourney player primarily and this may never come back live. I did not lose my job because I am retired but this staying home all day is a slow death of a different kind. I am sure the stay at home will be lifted as soon as the govenator gets a vacine.

There are also 7 & 8 handed games with that plexiglass. In fact now four rooms have 8-handed games. In Reno there's a room (Peppermill) that is actually 9-handed.<br /><br />Whether they are fun or not, I can't say, never played, haven't played anywhere since early March.<br /><br />And that is certainly depressing.Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05767080296489122846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8283462864090963789.post-64870747086524374902020-08-10T06:09:32.888-07:002020-08-10T06:09:32.888-07:00Went to Vegas on a one day trip this week.
