Does any of you on here ever gamble?
I do but just for entertainment. I used to go to Sin City at least four times a year when I lived in Wooford Heights but now I am way far in the North and only go there now twice a year for fun.
Anyways, I play Pai Gao poker, my only table game and the Progressive bonus is almost a million dollar at the Flamingo. Whoa a very high one compared to all the Indian Casinos in California or even in Vegas. The only thing is that you have to play with $5.00 dollars to win instead of only a dollar in the bonus. The main bet is minimum $25 to $10, 000. I normally play at least $300.00 a deal.
There was a couple next to me playing at least 5 grand per game and walked out with at least $40 grand. Sheesh I wish I'm that lucky.
Anyways I had so much fun. I didn't lose that much but my stay at the Mandalay Bay was cool. I normally stay at the Bellagio and or the Flamingo but this time the price of Mandalay was way too cheap compared to Ceasars and or the Venetian. They are doing everything to get back their reputation.
Yipeee.
Now I can upload again.
"If women ruled the world, there'd be no wars.
Just a bunch of jealous countries not talking to each other."
Sorry Jarred, this is way too funny for me to pass on without making a note on it. So I posted for us all to state our opinions, for those who like to join.
So I'm here laughing my belly out but if we think more of it, yes, perhaps that'd be better. What do you think fellow bloggers?
Jarred, I missed those days when you used to comment.
With the rise of AI, is humanity doomed? Or are we flourishing like never before?
Robotic world is taking over almost everything that we can think of. The question is? What are the pros and cons?
My personal opinion is that, it is good, for as long as we don't get superficially controlled by them and completely take over our human ability to think and act independently.
What about you? Any opinions?
Good morning blog world.
It's a beautiful day and life is peachy.
Hope everyone is happy.
Right off the beginning, I would clarify this statement to be not absolutely true. It depends upon so many things and many reasons, to some that this is absolutely a baloney statement.
First off you have to live in a country that is far better than America, ie SWITZERLAND, to laugh at this slogan. You can be very lucky and live in the other countries that can absolutely ridicule this statement or the goal of the President in making it great again.
I am referring to most of us, who once felt that this country was great and that it can get back its luster again.
Note: if 69 percent or so of the world are living in poverty and way below the standards of an ordinary American citizen, I am sure you say, America was great and that it can be great again.
Another note: Why would there be no other country that consistently for the past 50 years been sought by illegal immigrants?
Anyways good morning blog land and may you all have a good day.
Pelosi slams California ICE raid as 'unjust and cruel,' amid outcry over mayor's tipoff to immigrants
By Adam Shaw | Fox News
Three hours ago
Pelosi slammed a four-day ICE raid as "unjust and cruel." (AP)
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., on Wednesday slammed as "unjust and cruel" a raid of illegal immigrants in California last week that netted hundreds of criminals, many with convictions for violent crimes -- but which was partially thwarted by a Democratic mayor who tipped off the public to the crackdown."
Really?
What about the victims of these criminals?
Shockingly true. Finally someone in the Muslim world sees and expresses the truth.
Way to go Yousef Al-Husseini.
The TRUTH hurts but for humanity's sake we must face it and do something about it.
I hope peace will reign for the whole of humanity.
The specific goal of Hirshi, is to remove any excuse that causes these terrorism.
Explain why the millions of non terrorist who stood in support if the killing of Hebdo
Explain the caliphation movement, history indicates it's continuum. There wasn't a single Muslim in the middle East in 600 AD.
Explain the above link that promotes killing of infidels by a preacher. Don't tell me the audience were only terrorists in the making.
Again, there are goid people in every religion, they are not the ones that are persecuted.
Then again, the San Bernardino incident, killed 14 innocent Americans.
Born and raised in the US, he wasn't showing any terrorism inclinations, two years before the incident, he went to Pakistan abd married a terrorist.
The point I'm making, we can't be sure who is good and a terrorist one.
Trump for that reason wants to stop Muslim coming to the US. I can't agree more.
Two questions:
Why do we criticize?
When do we criticize?
My take is that if I, which is very seldom, criticize, it is for the purpose of improving a situation. I find it a very effective tool in making things right or better.
What about you, do you ever criticize?
Thanks all for your participation.
have a good day everyone.
This means a lot for the people of a country who's leader vowed to work on making America First and great again.
He owned the moment. I was so touched and I am sure most Americans have felt the same.
The monumental success he has achieved for so short a time, he is one heck of a great president. In spite of the display of contempt from his pundits, he continues to lead this nation towards greatness as promised.
In my opinion, building the wall for 10 billion is a cheap change compared to the 110 billion of supporting illegal immigrants.
The most effective change he has initiated is that the WORKING citizens are finally bringing more money in their paychecks as a result of tax changes. While I am already receiving my SS as a result of working over 35 years, I am still working for a more financially secured future. This means a lot to me.
Thank you Mr. President for encouraging on bringing back some of the outsourced jobs to this country. Imagine Chrysler to be coming back here from Mexico, that is a very positive move for our economy.
His love and respect for our aging Veterans by hiring more people that provide care they deserve is another big highlight of the speech.
Having been involved in the humanitarian field, this is the closest one to my heart. His commitment to continue on donating to the poor countries of the world. More than any leaders of any nation has done in the history of man. This to me tops all of his success in building a great nation.
Hawaii was in frenzy about a missile heading their way.
Thank God, it was a false alarm. Imagine the chaos they experienced. Must have been a nerve wracking one.
I'd hate to be on that part of the world yet 50 percent of my relatives live there.
Good morning guys.
Last night, I have to admit, I was a little down. I needed something to make me get through the night. Without moping, without being more miserable like over run by a train. Beaten and tired.
So...guess what I did.
I seeked the company of Jack Daniels.
Now I don't drink. I can't. I take a little sip, whether it's wine or any alcohol and I become very weak. The world is like a spinning ball.
But last night I made an exception and went ahead and treated myself special for the moment. All alone. Drinking.
Well I feel better. Sure I made a fool of myself by writing self inflicting memoir, but I survived. The mods must have known, I needed that cathartic encounter.
I figured our world is so volatile. It might just end before we know it.
Bottom line? I woke up feeling good.
So good morning fellow citizens of the blog world.
Come and join me in my high and positive spirits.
Thank you all for your comnents, opinions, telling me I'm right, most of the times wrong.
Thank you all.
Note:
This is a thread on the forum and I thought it sparks a very good discussion.
So here how it goes. Currently it is of general notion to some that America is invading the middle east for greed. The people fight back and respond in terms of terrorism.
I researched and if it's true, then who are the first terrorists?
Read below and share me your opinions.
Second note : Not a single Muslim in middle east before 600, AD.
"The Ottoman Empire had been expanding into Europe ever since Constantinople fell to the Turks, and even before that. Wherever the Muslim armies went, they plundered cities, took slaves, turned churches into mosques, and converted many thousands of Christian captives to Islam at the point of a sword.
The Sultan’s armies overran Greece, Bulgaria, Romania, and Serbia. They turned Protestant Hungary into a compliant vassal and made war repeatedly on Austria and the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. The Ottomans had designs on Vienna, since the fall of the city would open the way into the heart of Austria and the rich principalities of southern Germany.
The Turks besiege ViennaHaving failed to take Vienna in the siege of 1529, the Turks prepared a second attempt in 1683. Under the leadership of the Grand Vizier, Pasha Kara Mustafa, and with their Tatar and Malaysian allies, they made their preparations and fought their way towards the capital, overrunning Austrian villages and smaller cities in their path and taking many captives. As the Muslim hordes approached Vienna, King Leopold fled west with most of the citizens, leaving a garrison of about 11,000 soldiers and 5,000 citizen volunteers to hold the city against the Turks. The Viennese razed buildings in the area around the city walls in order to deny the enemy cover, and brought livestock and provender into the city to prepare for a siege.
On July 16th, 1683, the second siege of Vienna began. The tiny garrison in the city was no match for Kara Mustafa’s army of 140,000, but the Grand Vizier decided to starve the city into submission rather than attempt a frontal assault on its defenses."
From historical documents : Siege of Vienna.
The popular science magazine headlined like this: What if your new next best friend is a cute and irresistible robot?
There's no doubt about it. We're leaping and embarking on a very positive future of not only living with but probably overpowered by the force and precision of these gadgets.
I myself just don't regard them as mechanical gadgets anymore, they're far more worth than that. In fact science has already made one complete with blood and emotional characters.
Here's the question: Are we ready to face and live with them? Laugh and play or even cry with them?
What's on your mind? If you had one of them right now, what would you want it to do?
I'm imagining how would they react to our human flaws and imperfections?
Thanks all for your reads and comments or participation.
