hope everyone here has a great 4th of july holiday.things have been pretty rough for me the past year and a half so i haven't been posting as much due to serious financial and family issues that needed tending.with gas prices not to mention everything being so rough these days i'm seeing a lot more people dealing with the same issues.the first couple years i was here it was like a dream and i was winning a lot and everything was going great and then of course the internet gambling ban was passed,my state went RNG and then my finances went from great to obliterated in a very short period.my job folded after eight years and then i started having other troubles too.its a wonder i haven't had a nervous breakdown but thats everyday life where the highs are high and the lows will test your spirit.i made an effort not to get on here and that was very hard because most people know that for years i was on here pretty much nonstop but i had to step back because i knew i'd want to play if i started posting again but it was a bad time because of me being broke plus other factors so i had to step back and focus on other things and its hard when life is about all work and no play which has pretty much been it for me that past year and a half.things are still rough at times at this point but i think its time for me to get back to the spirit of things before the bottom fell out and try and have some fun again so i'll be here more like old times and hopefully here soon i'm hoping arkansas will pass a lottery so i'll have a new place to play.hope everyone has a safe fourth of july
