Do your business here?

ive served my time playing roulette im playing it 12 years believe it or not I am up profit since I started playing, my record winning total was from gambling just $20 euro and winning £3000 euro with in 1 hour playing it, that's a profit of £2980euro!! I have learnt discipline gambling, I mostly only bet on one number each spin,
I test my luck each day bringing only 20 euro each session, some days any profit is taking out swiftly im happy with 70 euro for the 20 euro any type of profit does the trick,

im due a Christmas bonus from the roulette table $$$ my idealogy is the roulette is similar to a saving box, you put money into it and then some days it gives you it all back 10x times and more haha

im a member of the casino.

my nickname playing roulette is ''the one hit wonder'' because I only pick one number each spin haha

It is now 4.45,am,and I am wide awake,and up since 3.30.
I don't believe I was ever a good sleeper,but,it is getting worse.
I'm sure shift work,over a number of years,at different times of my life,play a part.
Still,being reasonably healthy,retired,and not a prisoner of the clock,makes it bearable.
Living alone,I wonder if a partner would relax me more,and help me sleep?
This is the longest time I have been on my own,for many years.
In some ways,it's nice.
Doing my own thing,without offending,or finding things being changed,and not knowing where they are.
Still,man or woman,were not meant to be single.
Even Roman Catholic Priests were allowed to marry,at one time,until a stupid,jealous Pope,forbade it!
How much safer and better world today,especially for children,if that buffoon,had sense!
Right,my first attempt at a Blog!
Not too bad,I hope.
Wishing you all a lovely weekend,and,try not to be sleepless.
Nite/nite,or,morning/morning.

This time he got involved.

Yep, instead of playing golf in Florida during this potentially devastating hurricane, he took executive action to help the residents in Florida.

Instead, of playing golf in Mar-a-Lago today,
he's playing golf in Virginia.

He really shows how much he cares !



I remember conservatives often whining about how much golf Obama played. But, Trump plays way more golf & also cheats on his score,
and not a word about Trump's golfing and the soaring $$$ costs from conservatives.

I haven't had a birthday party since I was 10. I decided this year I need to have a party and inject some fun back into birthdays. Aug 3rd is going to be a slop fest

Just getting back from taking a small trip....nothing significant to talk about...but, along the way I bought a pack of new socks. You know that little plastic thingy that holds them together...well, I just realized that you don't need to break that to get the socks loose. One side is designed a little thinner than the other side to allow it to bend and pull through the sock. It only took 30 years to realize that...unless it is a new design.


no feminism again.

I've described myself as "a few extra pounds" from the start but I could always have stood to lose a stone (that's 14 pounds, or 6 kgs, for the rest of you) but now I've put up a new current picture and damnit who am I kidding. Weight has crept up and a bit more up this winter, another half stone has slid quietly into place, and not even I can see 20 pounds as a few. My bra does not capture everything that drops down my front so I can't go for voluptuous or curvy and I'm seen fat and I'm not that. So many words - plump, portly, chubby, well-padded, pudgy, chunky, stocky, zaftig, corpulent ... don't like any of them.

So nothing for it but a bit of fun dieting.



Until we few pounds meet again,
Signed,
"Large"

Seven years ago, I started working for a company that was 40 miles from my home. Nearly all highway miles, I've tolerated bad drivers and never ending road construction. With no traffic and obeying the speed limit, it's around 50 minutes one way, door to door. On a bad day it's more than 90 minutes to reach the office.

Except for the crazy drivers, I actually enjoy driving. Unless I were a professional driver getting paid to be on the road, it shouldn't be part of my career. I try to optimize my travels and visit projects before I get to the office, but that's not always possible. Sometimes, I have meetings at office first, then I travel out on appointments.

When I started this job, I owned an old Toyota Celica and after 220,000 miles I bought a new Hyundai Veloster in 2014 that's past 125,000 miles and the 4th set of tires.

My first choice was to purchase a house near the office, but that was totally out of my price range. Then I considered renting an apartment, but I didn't want to walk away with nothing to show for my efforts. That got me to condo shopping as that is the least expense to make things work. My wife had an apartment in China and was fine with that lifestyle. While there are lots of freedoms with a house (and no Homeowners Association) that would be traded for someone else maintaining the place but I would have to accept a list of 'cannot do' this or that, typical with condo living.

Shopping on and off for two years got accelerated in the last 6 months. Although house prices are rising, I found that the units I viewed usually were sold and quickly taken off the market. The last agent I dealt with has more sales than all the others combined and I decided to go with her. She was very helpful in making a purchase.

What I got was someone who already printed reports for the units we planned to visit and actually knew something about each one and not reading details from their cellphone like the other agents I met. Mentioned in previous blogs, the last one I saw was matched more of the conditions for a purchase. For example:
Price range, less work needed to be able to move in, no one had died in the unit, bedroom was on the east side and away from the heat of the afternoon sun, easy access from the entrance gate, laundry in the unit and not community coin laundry.

I made an offer, negotiated a bit, placed a deposit. Approved by the mortgage company and the homeowners association, I was cleared to move ahead. The home inspection showed no leaking roof and no trouble with the appliances. That said, I coughed up the money and met with a cashier's check for the closing.

The sellers had all their furniture and belongings removed the day before the closing. I arranged to have utilities turned on in my name. They left me a bar of soap in one bathroom and a bottle of water in the refrigerator!

The purpose of this blog is to track my progress with the renovation and document the pitfalls as well as the successful moments.

My sister invited me to go on a trip with her to the next province over to spend a week at a cabin in the country. Will be little over a week. Probably not going to have internet but I'll survive lol.

My plan is to smoke lots of pot and do lots of fishing
