Mine has gotten from bad to worse since the advent of the internet/computer era. Technology finished it off and I still envy people with good handwriting and/or signatures. I would include pics but I'm too lazy even for that lol. If anyone could start I probably would include mine.

Improving your game as a live player?by Stim_Abuser, April 21
So like many, since black Friday I've been dabbling a lot live.
Been doing pretty well, but I feel as my game is very stagnant and maybe regressing due to lack of number hands put in, the fact I'm playing with nothing but awful players most of the time, lack of easily and accurate ways to review sessions.
I guess I could put money on merge and grind there, but I'm not sure how I feel about having money on there with all the bad press coming out recently. Not to mention my last stint on there was some awful run bad.
So what kind of things are people who now play live doing to improve their game these days?
I noted every tournaments I would like to play. If stakers want to buy me into more, i'm certainly open! And if I aim too high, and get no action, then i'll tone down the schedule a bit, but I think this is fine.
I need to delete this blog for nowby whamm!, April 20
Hello my dear,
Can we become friends? I am miss Gabriella by name, a young fair and romantic girl,nice looking and easy going, I became interested in you after i found your profile in this website while browsing , I am proposing you for a long-term relationship,reply me here ( gabriellasankara25@yahoo.co.uk ) if you are interested. I will disclose my photos and other details about me in my next mail as soon as i hear from you.
Well, I sort of came to a compromise with Mrs. wh00sel on the one-car situation. She wanted a second car, but agreed to have two affordable cars instead of two expensive ones. So I saw the opportunity to replace her SUV with an economical 5-speed that fits more than enough cargo for our family.
Phase One Enter: 2009 Honda Fit http://www.carwallpapers.ru/wp/honda-usa/fit/2009-sport/Honda-Fit-Sport-2009.jpg
Price: 13,000 (14.5 after taxes/registration)
The problem was that she didn't know how to drive a manual. This car, though is probably the easiest manual I've ever driven. First gear may as well be "D" on an auto, because you have to try pretty hard or be on a pretty steep hill to risk a stall-out, even for a noob. After about an hour of total practice, spread across a few days I'd say she is proficient enough to commute with it, although she still wants more practice before committing to using it as her daily driver. I presume that in a week's time she will be driving it daily without issue.
For you car enthusiasts out there, it's actually pretty fun at the limit too. Although the 2009 isn't as raw as the 2008 and earlier models, on-ramps can still be a pleasurable experience in this econobox.
Phase Two Ditch the SUV https://encrypted-tbn1.google.com/ima...zbtCp0Cpmou_ZwAx3RxordYz2EDaeD6jvzEbQ
Self-explanatory, but if I can get it done in the next month before another payment is due on it this will just be a delayed-trade-in for the Fit with no out-of-pocket expenses, and actually a small short-term profit since the SUV is worth more than we owe. Another benefit is that if the car sells before I have to register the new one (30 days) then I get the remaining prorated value of the registration of the SUV to go toward the new registration.
Phase Three
????
Phase Four Profit! https://encrypted-tbn0.google.com/ima...CuznsM996ZGLDvrxp4G21ETV7eN27ugx2A9jY
If we get a second car as planned before the summer then it will probably be some 3-4k beater that gets the job done in emergencies and we can throw down cash for, although I would still rather just have one vehicle, we'll see what happens. As far as actual profit gained by switching to the Fit for our primary vehicle, we will save whatever the difference is in profit from the Santa Fe's sale, plus about 30% (conservative estimate) in gas. Given that we spend about $400 in gas per month, that amounts to $1440 in yearly savings from the switch, not to mention a more reliable car with lower cost of ownership. I also recently got a credit card that gives 5% back on gas so that should make me 150-200 per year in free money.
Next up:...pay down student loans before interest starts in about a year. Next write-up will be about how much we owe on those (I really don't know bc Mrs. Wh00sel handles those, I would guess around 40k *puke* when all is said and done) and if it's worth it to start firing money at it now, or build the roll, so I'll break that shit down soon. I know you're excited, but don't break your F5 key off waiting!
apparently this is old but i just found out about it today and i think it's pretty sweet: if you haven't seen it, it's basically a genie who reads your mind... i've been playing for the last hour, only stumped him once.
*** SOLD OUT *** --- will ask for it to be sent until may 1st, so I can give room for the waiting list in case someone gives up
*total shares was 120 of $250 each making 30k total, since tutz pointed out that I did the schedule basing on Pokerstars' first release, so I had a few of the tourneys wrong on my initial schedule
Its gonna be a make up system of 65% investor/35% player, the total is 120 shares of $250, the total of SCOOP buy ins is around $15k, and the rest of the stake money (total $30k) to be spent on regular scheduled tourneys (mainly $109s/$215s), decreasing the variance of the big SCOOP fields. Obviously I won't be able to play some of the planned tourneys, with the eventual missed tourney having its BI returned to the stake BR and spent on regular scheduled tourneys.
Blogging again, forreal this time?by WilsWils, April 16
Sup LP!
Reading through my last 3 blog posts are about as embarrassing as it gets. I'm preeeetty sure I wasn't in a good place at the time lol, man those cry baby posts were the worst. I want to say a quick thanks to those who sent me nice / confidence building PM's during that time, it was pretty awesome of you guys!
So anyway, life has changed quite a bit here for me. I went to vegas, did well, but never really played online. I ended up dumping about what was left of the majority of my leftover poker BR (something like ~7k) into student loans, and leaving myself about to grind a BR again @ nl100. It's going pretty decently, and now that I'm basically done school (just finals left) a blog will help motivate me to keep playing / posting updates - I'll be trying to do weekly updates, while playing a decent amount of hands.
