The Weekend Thread 3.2

Right, it's the weekend. What you doing?

• Working tomorrow from 8 -3pm as it's the tax deadline this year and folks need IT baby sitting.
• Come home and fix the downed fence from Sunday night's storm.
• Flex and totally rule.

 

Tonight is Paul Thorn in concert with my niece and nephew, one of my best couples (what else do you call two people who are good friends and marry each other?), and her mom & dad and aunt & uncle. Four hours from now...can't wait!!

Tomorrow I have to find somewhere that's open at 1pm to watch the Red Wings beat the Coyotes again. LOL

Sunday is all about sleeping in and doing housework. It's been a while.

 

As I reglazed the greenhouse helped by 3 bumble bees a song thrush and of course elastoplast strips
My eyes became also became glazed with the help of ice cubes slices of lemon tonic water and mothers ruin (GIN)
never mind I'll finish it tomorrow

 

Keeping an eye on a thread on a poker forum to now gov stopped all usa players from playing real money games.

 

When the rain and tornadoes pass, go fishing!

 

Go look outside...that bear is crapping on your lawn.

 

I walked right into that.

 

Wait, what??? :eek Do you have a link to some hard info on that?

*grumble, grumble, cuss, mutter, swear, grumble*

 

The weekend is when I do my household chores, laundry,vacuum and dust,
clean the bathroom and the kitchen.

 

Doesn't sound like Obama,doesn't he want to spread the wealth? :-D

Seriously though I think gambling from home is worse than drugs and should be controlled,its far too easy for people to get themselves into extreme debt or be conned out of their money by other users or sites.I have no idea how that control would work or even if it could be done.

And this is from a person who thinks most drugs should be legalised,I know I know what about freedom of choice,I dunno either?

More loft conversion for me,I wired the lights and sockets into the mains today and everything is peachy

Tomorrow I'm finally putting the skylight in,a little intimidating due to our random rain patterns.I've picked a day that should be dry but who knows.

The damn thing cost £335 with the flashing kit,double glazed with UV filters but its only treated wood ,I'm a little dissapointed with the build quality but its too late!

The damn things going in if it kills me:-D

 

I can't remember the important threads/links of yesterday. So post a few. I know that UB, FTP, PS has stopped most usa people from playing real money games(also most usa got no access to forum). It was pretty much 48 hour warning yesterday for usa people. All accounts are closed/cant withdrawl or transfer. So so many people stucked wondering if they will even get there money back. I personally have friends who make crap loads monthly.. he just made over 100k this month and now all stuck.

If any play poker and know anything you know 2plus2 has some reputation and big time players so its not full of lies. I ll post some links that last I checked were ove 65 pages. Also I can't log onto game client or forum of ftp so I have to use http://pokerforums.fulltiltpoker.co.uk/ the .co.uk some mod gave me for usa players to use.

That link does work, thanks for all the info.

And this sucks. Legal procedures like these take for-f-ing-ever, and until they're done none of us in the US are going to be able to touch our money.

 

I watched the Prisoner remake of 2009 over the weekend, oh what a steaming pile THAT was. If Patrick McGoohan hadn't left the Village (so to speak) before it hit the screens, it would surely have sent him on his way.
After that, Evil Dead 2 and Army of Darkness. With Something Wicked This Way Comes for dessert.
