never had a stranger year than this one.rang in last year with my fellow members here and had a fun time.the year started out great.by the time summer hit i had won over 5 grand online and the sky was the limit.the rest of the year should be fantastic right? not so fast whippersnapper.the roof,sky and floor all caved in.found out my job was ending,internet gambling law was passed,starting facing health issues.never ever count your chickens before they hatch....ever.i'm not a bitter man but just cautious after what i've went through.can you believe at the end of may i had a used corvette picked out and by the end of september i was getting title loans on my van?  my how the world can change and fast it does.change on a dime quicker than you can blink.you see i had this online thing figured out brothers and sisters.the internet gambling law was my initiation of a thing called cruel twist of fate.i hope everyone is right and the online thing keeps on but i'm cautiously optimistic.i don't play as much because i don't want to get to dependant on my winnings and then have the carpet yanked from under me.so i have already been living more frugal and no i don't like it.we will all know here in the next few months just how much sting this bill has when the regulations are finally put in place for the banks.i'm really hoping for the best because after all i do have a huge stake in this.i'm not doing too bad right now compared to the hell i was going through the last few months.sometimes you just have to accept your station in life and roll with it.i got my kids,my health and the future and even if things get hard sometimes i just need to accept the lot the man upstairs gives to me.....
